We live in an uncertain world where everything is uncertain and ephemeral – your best of efforts may go in vain without any applause and recognition.
Anxiety is now inborn in our living – we are seldom calm and in comatose state of our living , fearful of our future and what lays ahead – so what is the problem that engulfs us which make our life pitiable? – it’s our overthinking!We create scenarios which in all
likelihood would never happen – in all probability, we create demons in our
heads and engulf ourselves in continuous negativity – to the extent that we
take drastic decisions – even ending our lives!
Sit down with a calm mind and
ponder over your past, what you thought and what happened … you would realise
that more than 90% of the happenings didn’t happen as according to your
thoughts – the amazing part of our cognitive mind is that we think worst for
our future ..what if this doesn’t happen or what if that doesn’t materialize….
Quite inversely to this, we never
are exceptional optimistic about our future outcomes…
We ration our positive thoughts
but fill our cup till the brim for our negatives…that is nature of the mind. It
pre-empts negative thoughts and creates a world around them.
Many of my friends who are at pinnacle of their career are facing bouts of anxiety and uncertainty – even after having achieved much, the level of fear and opaqueness of future takes them to bouts of anxiety – this is the cruel living of today – nothing is surely certain, alas it never was!
The only way to get out of this
whirlpool is “Bhakti” and prayers and complete and a whole heart submission to
God…as HE knows the best what is going to happen – though it seems a cliched
thought but that is what has gratified me! Your best of the plans and efforts
will go in vain and you remain clueless of its outcome – inversely, your half-hearted
efforts reap stupendous results with all praise by your peers and bosses – that
is the irony or rather funny part of life…We all have to live with it…
Just observing the people’s life around,
you, you will see that it is all happening without one’s expectation and
control…job losses, business failures, stock mart downturn , relationship
failures, health standard declining…everything beyond one’s control.
But, once you sit and start to
meditate on HIS form – whosoever you pray or whatever religion or sect you
follow, immerse yourself in all unison – the peace and the calm that follows
will give you eternal happiness and your zeal would be uplifted to do new and
creative things – The adrenaline rush would turn you to be a go-getter and you
will always feel “Someone” or “Some Power” or a “Guardian Angel” guiding you and steering your life for a
better purpose.
“Life is like this and would function in its own trails and travels and you have to adjust yourself with time…” – this noble advice about living life has ever been a staunch day to day philosophy and sooner or later many of you will fall in line with this idiom of wisdom…till then …Live Free…
