Its been long since I shared my thoughts and I was running
behind my weight loss currently. Whenever I get a new thought or a spark, I create
a meme and share it across. But this time it was different. It was a new insight
and little bit more to explain which I cannot do in a meme. Hence this post.
Our company’s website is almost ready and we have partnered
with many ventures for new projects. Now we have a very senior person, very
friendly whom you can go in for an advice over a quick chat. He is a consultant
and always gives you the exact facts without sugar and spices. He is a sort of
a mentor to me. I went in to meet him to discuss about this new venture and
wanted to get his views on them. Rather, we talked more on Life and its
insight. It was real awakening for me and I wanted to share this with all.
As a fiction writer, I always paint everything green and
present. Because I don’t want to end up being in the memory of someone who made
them feel sad. I really treasure and care for memories. Even in an interview
when asked about what makes you write, I replied, the basic criteria to write
is the craving to experience what you love. You write that and you feel that
again and again. You make people experience what you feel right now. Everything
is basically a recollection of your experiences that you want to experience
again.
But Is it worthwhile? If I cling on to what made me happy in
the past, will I be able to create or look for happiness today? Memories sets
you back creating a cloud that stops you from thinking ahead.
Human being is made of X and Y Chromosomes. All the
characteristics of mom (100%) and dad (another 100%) adds in and creates a tiny
cell that would be (100% consolidation of the 200% received from mom and dad).
So to think again, all the memories of parents, along with the mother’s
ancestors and the father’s ancestors are consolidated and now a new life is
born with almost all the characteristics.
Genetic memory itself is made in such a way that life is
created similar to the one in the generations before. That is why perhaps the
saying, History usually repeats itself
, has come into picture. Why does history repeat itself? Because it does not
know what else to do. When this situation comes , you do this. That’s how we
are programmed. So if I come across a situation my great granny would have been
in, I would be probably reacting like her in the same way.
Now then here comes a concept of ignorance. When you do what
you are instructed to do by birth through genes, who are you and what is your
significance here? It’s a big question. If I do everything my dad does and
react the same way, then everyone would tell me I am the perfect daddy’s little
girl. But what about my children? Is it not wrong for me to not act as the
perfect mother one can rely on for all their issues?
Even if I am correct in all the ways, it was all given to me
by my dad and not through my own findings about me. And my dad would have got
it from his ancestors and they, from their forefathers and so on. The way to
actually know what I am capable of is to lose all memories I have got inherent
and think and analyze every situation I am in. Even though I may end up wrong, I
learn and I make sure I don’t repeat it. Also when I log the mistake details to
my children I should never end up giving the situation as a case study to them.
If this is the case, do this. It will never work that way. Rather, explain what
situation you were actually in, what made you take the decision, what was the
outcome, what best solution you could have done, what worst solution you had
avoided and so on.
When all these information are added, it will not reprogram
your kids but will make them think about all these when they are in a
situation. So they will start analyzing and come up with a solution better than
yours too that suits their time and period better.
Other important concept here is to know about the Two
important sides of Life. It is not Good and Bad as most of them perceives. It
is Happiness and Remorse. When you do something you really like, you are happy
and when you do something you detest, you are sad. That’s the major two
emotional aspects that determine your mood for the day and ultimately your
attitude towards life.
This happiness and remorse need not be searched anywhere. It
lies within you. You need to explore yourself to find it. Take our body for an
instance. When you are too hungry you feel weak and drained out of energy. Once
you take a morsel of food and you start chewing on it and gulp it down you feel
energy blooming. After a few mouthfuls, you are ok now.
This energy is created within you. The need to have food
immediately is given as a signal to you by your brain. You oblige and take in
food. The food here is just the tool to get energy. The actual creation of
energy is within you. You are capable of everything. You can create anything
provided you get to know what you need rather than how to react at this point
of time.
This can be achieved by going to a state of ‘No Mind.’ Just
sit calm for atleast 5 minutes a day without thinking about anything. You will
slowly go into a trance and start thinking deep about everything. Slowly wipe
down the memories of what you should do and what you should not do and try to
do everything your way.
And once you know what your mind is capable of, you will get
to know your likes and dislikes better. You may have liked your career so far because
your family’s profession is this. Maybe now you will get to know what you
actually prefer and start working towards it. When you really start doing what
you love the most you will be happy and when you feel you are struck down with
what you hate, you will be sad.
When you leave all the things that make you sad and do all
happy happy things you will make others happy too. Make sure you add that
happiness to other’s life too and life will really be Blissful.
Ultimately that is what life is all about. I like to end
this with a recent quote that I loved very much. “You only die once. You live
every day. Make sure its meaningful.”
