When everything goes according to plan, human mind gets agitated as it is accustomed to some level of anarchy and imperfection. In the absence of those things, it starts getting uncomfortable and consciously or subconsciously starts breaking some of his own creations and methods. It has one basic principle problem. We tend to think that we have everything under control and if we are following what all we have thought means we have become perfect. It’s such a problematic and self-fulfilling thinking pattern. Nothing is ever perfect. You don’t need to plan to have some imperfections just because everything seems too perfect to you. Believe me, it is not. When this happens with you, understand no matter how much you try, there will be some degree of anarchy and imperfection in your life.   So stay calm and keep striving for that perfection you are after. Some anarchy will be there and if there isn’t any then you are probably god, which is not a bad thing at all. Just come connect with...

Sometimes in life, you are dealing with stupid and vicious people. People who find pleasure when other people are disturbed or not happy. People who are more interested in other's suffering more than their own happiness. It can be very tiring and excrusiating experience for you, if you are not a thick skinned person. The more sensitive you are, the more you suffer in such situations. The question is, how would you deal with such people? The first situation is when they are not directly affecting you The simple answer to this situation is, you do not need to deal with them, unless you are their guru or someone who is on a mission to save the world.   They are already suffering from a disease of not being able to prioritize their own life. Nearly their whole existence is busy in living and observing someone else's life. They are already losing their life in such a fruitless pursuit and you don't want to add into their life's difficulties. If it does not concern you much, ...

Are you and the things you do are two different things?  Can your productions and your creations be detached from yourself once they are completed?  If that is the truth, what is your identity? Or is there not a concept of an identity in the long run? When I think about the famous thought presented in the Bible, nothing is original under the sun, I wonder, is there a point to be too possessive about what you do and what you do not do?  Should there be a feeling of possession towards your so called creations and boundaries you have raised around that. Not just you, the whole humanity in a way.  How can a famous singer be a nuclear scientist or a car mechanic?  How can a patented art can be copied?  How can a normal moddle class person own a really luxurious car? And so on. I know, I am dragging this a bit now but is identity that much important or should a human have complete freedom in a moment where he lives.  Because believe me, wishes change all the...

Surprise, surprise!  I am a human and I have feelings too.  You are also a human and you have feelings too.  Now, what to do? They control every part of my life They control every second how I feel They control everything I decide They control every time I lose They control every time I win Do I have any actual control over me? Or is it just my emotions and my feelings driving my body to do things? If so, then what is this? Who is this imaginary soul or person writing this?  If I do not exist then who is observing these events where my emotions and feelings are controlling my life? Should I control or can I control my emotions and my feelings? Should I modulate or can I regulate my emotions and my feelings? Will I still be able to live my organic authentic life, if I change the way I feel about everything? What is deciding how would I behave and what emotions would come to me when I engage with anything or anyone? Will I regret if I interfere too much with my natural...

All the planning is nothing but just a postponement of consciousness, at least at a personal level when you have a history of planning a lot and not actually following up on things. Because it is not an actual organic planning planning but just a diversion to avoid the real task, it would never work.  For many of us, it is a constant struggle between consciousness of being in a moment and build something now or trying to build a pattern also known as a habit, and use that pattern to achieve some planned success in future. Most of the time, that trying to build a pattern or a habit thing wins, because consciousness in the present moment is always a difficult choice as most human minds run away from a difficult choice.  Reality is often difficult. Trying to do something right now, trying to build something right now is Always difficult. So we wander towards this habit where we try to think of building new patterns or habits or make future promises to ourselves. I’ll do this afte...

There is a famous saying that first appeared in the Book of Ecclesiastes: "There is no new thing under the sun".  Many thinkers also believe that Everything under the sun, or in simpler words, in the world or on the whole earth, is just a good or bad copy of something already existing or created. This basically means that all art, ideas, human behaviour and even inventions are inspired or copied from something which has already been explored or created in the human history, which itself is a millions-of-years-long phenomenon according to many scientific studies. What does this mean for us? Do we not have any capacity to create something completely original? Then why we feel different when we write a poetry?  Why does something which came to you naturally feels more special then something you have trues and created? Mainly in terms of new ideas and creativity.  Are all thoughts, organic or planned or forced, unoriginal? Creating a power point presentation based on very obv...

In the Information Age which is slowly becoming AI age, knowledge can or can not pay, as much of the knowledge is freely and abundantly available digitally. Once you have a mobile device with Internet connection, almost all information and data of the world is available at your fingertips. Therefore we need to think beyond the concept of knowledge and focus on the concept of wisdom.   In any time or age, wisdom has always proved its worth. In the beginning of humanity, knowledge was not that easily available. But our forefathers survived mostly on wisdom. And the record of such wise behaviours became what is today known as knowledge. Knowledge can help us to a great extent, but it’s not a solve all phenomenon.  We are realising that really fast nowadays due to the advent of Artificial Intelligence. Many knowledge based skills are getting redundant day by day. AI engines are becoming really efficient at handing monotonous tasks. Many jobs which are common today, won’t be there ...

In the last few decades, the business of teaching motivation & time management to young people have increased by leaps and bounds. People are taught in such a courses; how to get motivated? How to stay motivated? How to think? How to create? How to flow? How to get your life from point A to point B?  But can it work? Isn‘t all this exactly the opposite of how creativity and organic energy and eventual joy and peace should be achieved?  You can not start doing something with a clear map in your mind unless you are doing very generic and mundane yet important task, like handling a cash-counter. In all other things of life, starting with a free mind will always be more fruitful or at least joyful. By having so many rules and regulations, so many goals abd targets, so many imaginary future life maps, we are only making our own lives misearable.  What do you think about this?  You can share your thoughts in comments.

Many of us are confused with the question of choice. Every moment, we have so many options before us and we need to make decisions. Decisions which will define our lives forward.  You can choose to work hard right now and try to make more money and create more resources for you and your loved ones. But will you lose your dreams and your freedom while doing this. You can choose freedom and do the things which you want to do. But is that good enough for your life, now and in future.  By default, human mind wants to rest and be entertained. Won’t you be stuck in a low quality life if you always give into your free will. And is there even a free will?  Mostly we want to do things which are comfortable and familiar to us. But don’t you think, those uncomfortable things can take our life into unknown directions which can actually be really exciting once we overcome those initial psychological barriers.  I have no answers. If you have any ideas regarding this, please share....

Sometimes it becomes difficult to move forward in the endeavours we have undertaken in our life. It feels like you are completely stuck somewhere psychologically. When everything else is in order and you can just keep going but still you can’t. It’s this stage when creating something organic really helps. The process is simple and you don’t need to plan it too much. When you are really down on mental juice, you just need to stop completely. Don’t get diverted, just stop. Stop and think. Think about anything you like. Don’t care about liking anything, just think. Let your true self flow. There’s a good chance that you might generate some energy to get into meditation. If you get that, try and meditate.  While meditating, you will surely get some ideas or some inspiration to work on something. Just act on those thoughts for some time. They may or may not be related to your goals or your work but it’s not about that. It’s about getting your juices flowing.  Once you have that, yo...

Several religions and spiritual practices of the world use meditation in one form or another to make humans calmer more aware. My experience has also always been great with meditation. It creates a certain serenity in one’s mind and also enables looking at the world more objectively so I have understood a few things about meditation which I will share here. First thing meditation does is to create deep connection between our heart and mind. It helps us regulate our emotions because we can observe them more transparently. It also makes our breathing more harmonious as we are calmer and more consistent. If you add breathing exercises with your meditation, I believe it will surely change the way you live. Meditation also helps us bringing our conscious self and impulsive self closure. I will continue updating this thought but I’m publishing it as first thoughts so that we can start a discussion.  What do you think about meditation?
