Mind is like a parachute, it flies when open!

We all have our own ways of dealing with things whether good or bad. There are those who are completely happy at good times, totally shattered at bad times. There are those whom remain the same in all times without expressions. But one thing that is common is we all express emotions in some or the other way. I have off late realized my way of expressing my emotions is to write. I wrote when I was happy, I wrote when I was in worst times, now I have learnt to express no emotions in any times, I am still writing. So I am just writing down the random thoughts and observations of mine.


We all often ask questions to others. During work we ask our seniors or juniors for suggestions, ‘you think it’s possible? It’s not that difficult, is it?’ Or even the time when we just decide to go out for dinner, we ask others “where shall we go?” but if we have ever thought deeply about it, these may not be the questions that we want to ask others but our own selves. By asking other, we are evaluating and analyzing the same in our minds.


Without knowing what the other person thinks, we still feel we have all the rights to throw tantrums, to shout and to fight with them. We also say what we have to, without thinking how they may interpret what we are saying. Unconscious mind does what it feels and all this happens when the conscious mind is switched off or sleeping. I felt it was good to be honest and express what you feel. But now I realized it’s good not to be honest than to lose the precious gift of friends and family that we have from god.


I laugh and I see people smiling around. I cry and the world seems gloomy. I hated people, other hated me. I try to be a good human being and I saw the people around were similar. Finally I realized the change is not in the world but in me. The world was my own reflection.


I have often heard people saying “Envy” is a bad quality. But I feel we envy people because they have what we don’t have or rather what we ever wanted to be. Can’t envy be taken in a positive sense to learn how they achieved what they are and is what we want to be? Wondering wondering!


My parents and my close friends always said “Go ahead, you can do it”. I at times succeeded and at times failed to prove them right. When others trust you more than you trust your own self, there are only two outcomes- we either succeed or we fail. There is no mid-way to that. We feel more confident or we fear that we may let them down. All that is to be thought is even if we fail; those who trust us would know we would learn from the failure and succeed the next time so “Go Ahead”!


You think I have given a great start to the week? Well the answer to my question which my mind says is “yes”. Have liberated my mind from the thoughts and it is often said “Mind is like a parachute, it flies when open”. My mind is ready to fly, what about yours? Smiles Smiles!
