Build Focus On What You Bring To The Table

You are moving up or down? 

Sometimes it is ok to build focus on what you bring to the table rather than jumping thoughtlessly in and out of activities. The essence of life is realized only by being true to yourself. In the end what matters is the fairness with which you played. Winning or loosing is the perspective of the onlookers. In your heart you know whether you are moving up or down in the spiral of life.

Perspective On Factors Impacting Life

What the next moment is going to bring?

As we discuss this perspective on factors impacting life it is important to understand the teachings of Lord Krishna as taught in Bhagwad Gita, about life and the associated knowledge about life. According to these teachings we humans can perform our karma or action but results are not in our absolute control. As I look back the realization dawns on me that most results in life are impacted by multiple factors including our response to these events and circumstances. And that is the reason why things at times happen in unpredictable ways that is beyond our control despite best efforts. The life remains unpredictable because future events can never be predicted with certainty and so is our response. That is why any attempt to predict future with absolute precision involves an element of probability making it a complex affair to foretell, what the next moment is going to bring?. The only control seems to be our response ,the manner we chose to handle any given situation. But the truth experienced by all of us that an invisible force plays a defining role in altering outcomes at one stage or the other. Some call it luck , good fortune, blessings of God or Bhagwad Kripa.  The sooner this truth is understood and accepted the better it is to build a clear perspective regarding the factors impacting life and the best that we can do in a given situation.

Education regarding this principle is critical to peace and prosperity

The single most important factor in life that lies under our control seems to be our response to the external stimulus. This is the factor that impacts the outcomes most of the time. So the power that lies in the moment is in the decision to act in a particular fashion. This decision has the potential to modify the impact of any event and unregulated behavior is at the root of most problems our world faces today. The only solution is aligning our behavior with the higher principles and values putting an end to the all pervading debate and reasoning attempting to look at life as a zero sum game. Then only our understanding and usage of levers of controls would improve. This education is the need of the hour.  Attempt to educate the world for fostering personality traits such as character, integrity, dharma(resolute focus on duty), humility, positivity, brotherhood and inclusivity in that order is the way to everlasting peace and prosperity.  

GOD BLESS

Don't Wait For The Skies To Fall - Sky May Never Fall But You Can

A New Paradigm

There is a saying that,"Bad habits are easy to form but difficult to break.” Whether this is true or not, depends upon what do we like to choose. We need to rewrite this old adage with a new paradigm, to be read as,"Bad habits are difficult to form but easy to break".  

Factors Leading to this Paradigm Shift

1.     Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come;

Let's look at the factors which make this paradigm shift possible, but before doing this, it is only natural to make a note of the turn of events in the last century. We crawled from agriculture age to information age. It does not mean that technology & information exchange could have not thrived in the times of agriculture age, the same technology that works today could have generated the same results at that time as well, but can anybody tell why all this hi-tech revolution did not happen at the time when agriculture was supposed to be the main activity for any country to progress and register its supremacy. The answer is that there is a right time for everything, yes that is it.

2.     Now it is possible to improve speed of action without compromising on the  overall quality;

In the earlier times, when this adage gained ground, the world used to move at a much slower pace as compared to its speed in the present times. Today we have instant quick fix solutions, a word of caution, what we are not encouraging here is “shortcut at the cost of quality”, on the contrary what we are saying here is that, the times have changed and now it is possible to improve speed of action without compromising on the overall quality. Take different examples such as communication speed between two distant locations improved from an initial, large number of months to an instant communication through telephone and internet connectivity in the present times, travel speed also improved from the pain of travelling for months to moving between two distant destinations in a lesser number of hours, this also applies to the medical advances, astronomy, etc., and the list goes on. In a nut shell we can say that there is no activity in our lives which has not evolved to be a fast paced affair defying all time constraints which were, until some time back considered as insurmountable challenges. Today anything which can be controlled by humans, has become increasingly fast paced with blurring, and in certain cases no, time lines, making our belief as the major determinant of our present and future possibilities. If the agriculture age people had only witnessed such instantaneous actions, then they themselves would have evolved the new paradigm. 

    3.Any scientific invention that is supporting our life styles today is only a          discovery & application of very firmly established universal eternal  truths:

If we agree with this statement than it is easier for us to know that if we also discover, if we have not yet done so, & apply the universal eternal truths to our own behavior than we can get the same revolutionary results. Just to elaborate the point, all the systems such as electricity, laptop, air-travel, etc, are operational & ready just waiting for our command to activate them, because these are installed on the scientific support systems , which in turn are based on the universal eternal truths eg; property of electrons, insulators/ conductors used, and the list goes on. Similarly if we are tuned into the universal eternal truths and our behaviors are geared up to match the agility of the support systems surrounding us, there is no doubt that we will be quick to action, with good habits as well as to avoid the bad habits.

4.     Linking our present behavior to its immediate,short term, medium term and long term consequences;

We can clearly make out how far our behavior is consistent with our values, goals & purpose in life. With a robust grounding in the universal eternal truths our state of readiness will be our second nature and at that stage the new adage, "Bad habits are difficult to form but easy to break", will be only a natural extension of our genuine self.

5.     Taking out time to reflect on our lives to assess whether we are action oriented or not?

If we are action oriented, we just need to ensure that there is proper alignment with what is really important to us inlife. In case we lack action, we need to stop procrastinating and take action because delaying action is only going to get us further down the hill but the sky will retain its original position.

So take action now, only you can bring about that positive change in your life

God Bless
