I understand your world! - Part V

What is your personality?

Lot has difficulty in understanding this question. Is it your possession, designation, achievements or desires?

Personality is developed by carefully picking up traits which you admire in others and now you like to have in yourself.

It is above your beliefs, expressions, fears, values but bundled together as a person. It is exhibiting itself without your conscious effort or even awareness. And there is no right personality or wrong, at best it can only be an opinion.

Once you are clear about what is that you stand for or even die far then you represent yourself as a personality. It is the intensity of love towards yourself, your life, your works and it can give significant satisfaction having lived fully, when turned back.

While you determine what is that you enjoy, like to contribute upon, the value you give it to yourself, by making so many trials, in any area, be business, career, or relationship and finally you succeed that apparently you no more make same mistakes again. But if you hesitate to take those significant lonely steps, by thinking what if, how others view it, how I look in front of others, then you are designing a timid life for yourself.

By focusing on the ‘live by mind’ approach, you have already achieved great progress.

Look at hybrid vegetables, it looks good and weigh good but lack the true essence when consumed. If it does not satisfy, then what is the point of having plenty of them, only for numbers?, get out of such things, you know I am not talking about only tomatoes here, you already have enough blessings to count.

To clear clouded thoughts on what is right, not so right etc., give some time towards understanding it. And if that ‘some time’ is possible every day, anyone can clear their thoughts, so that clarity evolves. You cannot show mind, but by example, one can understand what is operating within us. If the mind can be controlled and channelized most things are possible. Internalizing that understanding itself is a degree of enlightenment. If you love your comfort zone, people give you work, power of ignorance is a super power.

Man is born complete with all possibilities to improve himself.

Whatever you are surrounded they are yours, and your life reflects that. Whether you like them or not, it is not somebody somewhere else giving you the inspiration but your daily surroundings have significant effects.

If you let your circumstances dictate you then you are a victim, if you attempt to take charge of your circumstances then you are a leader.

Check your pursuits, does it fill you with energy, satisfaction, fulfilment and peace, if so continue. If otherwise, it is time to find something which can give you those. That is the way to your success your own mind is showing you. If you are singing, laughing, getting excited, becoming curious shows that you are ‘living’. There are plenty of dead among us who are yet to be buried; I know you are not one of them.

‘Days’, can’t wait, you can’t reserve it for future, it has to be spent it and can’t postpone it. Work on what is in your hand, with the body, mind, intellect. Improve your body, its capacity, mental capacity, emotional capacity, improve them with determination, expand it, that is self-help. Start being happy with what you have, exercise, meditate, sleep, develop a positive attitude, not anxiousness or become worrisome, build your community with people who support you, while facing everything which comes your way. A practitioner laughs at every situation; he tries to understand why it has come to him now.

And expecting too much from yourself or pushing yourself can become a bottleneck. Have a broader plan and let your every activity become a step towards it. Don’t feel lost with no direction to focus on. A tree needs time to grow, along with manure, water and sunlight. It appears that the last hit breaks the stone. But many have to go in before.

If soul centric living is your dominant thinking, (read earlier parts) Why are you hurrying so much in life? For what purpose, there is nothing here that needs to be gained, except the ability to enjoy it. Like weight lifting, you can go to higher mass, if have put the practice in that area.

The senses one can’t satisfy, time one can’t hold, money is useful only with meaning, what you need to get you to get with efforts, what you don’t get, you will not get even with very best efforts. Apply this principle to your past endeavours, to check yourself it is true or not. Certain things you strive and achieve; certain things you don’t, in spite of best efforts. Certain things will give an illusion of achieving but never happen. All are true.

Have you ever succeeded in making everyone around, love you? Or even anyone to fall in love with you. You love. You are free to love, live and help. If you expect return love you may disappoint yourself, memories turn painful only because of attachment. Otherwise, memories are a source of never-ending inspiration for progress, it has helped and brought you here till today.

Whatever one does, there will be something more exciting as one go on the path.

Ask, do I need to hurry, worry or plan aggressively? Success is every minute. Not somewhere else, all the activities we do is only for experiencing it. If you concentrate on a particular outcome, you can get perturbed. Practice one-minute meditation every hour on your purposes, passion and goals. Don’t live unconscious and lifeless with no ability to think deeper or recognize the patterns. It is the time to be yourself 100% none other approach gives you lasting satisfaction and success.

Observe we tend to care for those who don’t care for us and entangle ourselves. Bring back zero-based thinking and apply the ‘time up’ principle as often. (refer to’ No Excuses’, Brian Tracy). Simply delete those who only find faults and those who cannot appreciate, they serve no purpose.

What is over is over. Drop and move forward. Drop your ineffective association as early. It’s enough, it’s done multiple times, it’s over, it's waste, it’s not needed any further. Work on closing things as early.

Write your drop list today, so that your to-do list becomes more effective.

Love and belief is a higher system. See your future self full of that and empower yourself on way. Why do you accept a reactive life as normal? Stop treating yourself as a victim. Learn why you treat yourself that way. You are not a victim, if others don’t understand your depth it is their misfortune. Attempting to improve the misfortune can create a burden for yourself and resistance from the opposite. Why are you still holding on to things which have already left you? Showcase your knowledge, skills or ability, where there is attention and value.

Your senses are there to express your heart intentions and not minds cleverness. Don’t take days as eternal, only countable days are left. For your empowerment, people around, their mindset should add energy.

Always feel natural while meeting people in any place, feel all of them as your friends; enjoy people pulling yourself with good intention, don’t look for shortcuts, develop clarity in your intention, with that it is easier to get the bridge or helping hand, otherwise it is hard to find it in any industry.

Focus on daily routine most things will fall in their place. Focus on 2 - 3 points for about 2 weeks and see new opportunities coming or getting spotted. Know, when love for money becomes important than passion, slowly failure follows. Being unorganized with scattered ideas or efforts costs more than it appears. So does overconfidence, ignoring patterns, having unrealistic desires you surely disappoint you.

Again and again, bring back your clarity towards what you have. People who have faith in life are only countable. Focus on your niche, there is no meaning better than practicability.

The world like to listen to the winner’s speech, your day is as just far as your consistency. Downtime is natural.

We are good in certain areas and not in many other areas. Taking the right action at right time is like planting seeds when rained, mostly they germinate. Emotions do not work. Rules work. People will buy if it looks good, price lesser, tastes better. They respond to externals and doubt if it is easy or cheaper.

If you ignore your practices you already turned negative. If you are tired, stressed, negative is attracted. It’s about you winning over you, every minute and holy hour gives first control, every morning. Get out, go to places, see people, see the world, and as you know them, it, in turn, helps to see who you are. There is no excuse when you die.

Will it matter if you die today or 50 years later? If living or death does not matter to oneself, to whom else it would. Things are here to enjoy and not to get stuck with it. Whatever you do, enjoy, contribute, learn, laugh.

Look at your immediate problems, short term and longer ones, what are their origins? And what end result, you look for in each case. What are the causes?

For success, get your philosophy right, without holistic big picture understanding, the success you achieve may feel like a temporary win. If you take expert advice you don’t lose. Local guidance is like tourist guidance good for that ecosystem. Keep conscious endeavour on clearing all unwanted, thoughts, desires and actions.

Make your vision bigger so you become bigger. Stick to what is working and what is in your control 100%. Your enthusiasm should be able to convey your dreams. And if you have a dream, you are a leader.

Lastly, do you think, it is just another arbitrary writing?

It is just what is needed for you, right now. I understand your world, your personality, I had been there, I too was in dilemma at the crossroads, and be sure it re-appears every time you aspire higher. Each time, I trusted my mentor’s guidance and continued the pursuit.
