If we really come to think about it, the hurdle of life isn't an option that we can choose to skip, but suffering is. The mind is like the processor of the computer. If you give it the wrong input information, the processing will be wrong and the result will always be an unfavorable one.
Lets say if I change the input information - A hurdle into a challenge, a problem into a test, and the feeling of distress or despair into an opportunity to slow down and think over. That would mean taking life for a ride and not making it a serious business. (Doesn't the word 'serious' in the hospital slang anyway means someone who's nearly dying?)
The key - The understanding of the factual information has to be changed from the time it gets inside the processor of the mind as 'input information', and hence when the real translation happens, the interpretation of the hurdle is automatically understood as challenge.

But if we choose to continue to think in the way that we've been thinking...
We may just end up getting what we've always been getting!!
PROBLEMS!

Non-preachy, crisp & simple.
ReplyDelete"We can't skip hurdles, but sufferings" only if we want to. Well said. It's the way we want to lead our lives that defines us as an individual.
"If we choose to continue to think..... ". This statement is so very valid for so many of us in every phase of our lives. A small but an effective learning for the entire: The Way We Think.
I still remember commenting in one of your early posts that you're late into blogging. Now, I will rephrase myself: You're getting late in compiling all of these thoughts into an insightful book!
We're waiting!
Thanks Subhajit for appreciating. Blogging has become a way of life, I don't know what I was doing when I wasn't writing. Im glad some people do find it insightful, I don't intend to preach anyone else but me. Its easier to refer to these thoughts to avoid getting into similar fiascos.
ReplyDeleteAuthoring a book is far fetched, you're very generous. But I ll linger on your kind words for a long time to come. Who knows I might just happen to thrive on it and write one :)
