Empty Your Mind

Empty Your Mind

Take a cup and a jar full of water. Start pouring water into the cup. Keep pouring till it gets completely filled.

Now try to fill the water more. What do you see? Water gets spill out of the cup.

Why so?

Because it is already filled and there is no space to accommodate more…

 

Our mind behaves in the same way. We keep injecting information to our brain and one day we think we can’t take it anymore.

Then we start behaving awkward, we do not pay attention on what others are saying. Basically we block our mind from receiving any new information.

Today’s modern world when any computer gets overloaded, keep logging , then one day it throws Low Disk Space Out Of Memory exception and then we delete old logs, non-required contents , delete stale processes from Task Manager , free up some memory and restart the machine. All set, good to go now.

In the same way, we as a human, shutdown computers and take a break. Some people visit their favorite places, watch favorite games or movies, do party, go to pub and booze.

People take a vacation to clear up some memory and to get rebooted, recharged and rejuvenated. Then Back to work and same story begins to fill up the memory!!

Don’t you think, re-booting the computer is just a temporary solution? We should apply proper Garbage Collection, Which automatically clears up the memory and keep the system running for a longer period of time.

Taking leaves, going on vacations are the things which give a boost, energize us but don’t you think it’s a temporary healing only?

Nowadays, going on vacation also feels like a routine job. Book the flight tickets, reserve the hotel, get the rental car and searching Internet for to-do things nearby.

All look like repeating the same stuffs on each vacation!! Even, in office we keep planning our vacation and on beaches we keep thinking about office and keep spoiling both.

As computer has, so to get the permanent solution we must have to develop a garbage collection system, which would clear up our system, freed up some memory.

There is an algorithm, based on that computer system performs Garbage Collection. We as a human do not have any algorithm.

So, we have to develop one. We have to define the things which unnecessary fills up our mind, eats up most of the space in our mind and kills our precious time. We need to identify the garbage that we are injecting in our mind on daily basis.

Let me help you, Some of them are Hatred, Jealous, Backbiting, Pulling others leg, Hiding information, Dominating others etc.

Do you think, that refraining from above list will help us?

“Do not tell a lie” and “Always speak the truth” both convey the same message. However; first one is negative and the second one is positive. Former is just a statement and the later is a Solution, an Action or at least the steps for what to do next .
Rather prohibiting, we have to inculcate new habits. So, we have to replace the garbage with our positive solutions.

[instead of – we have to ]
Hatred – Love all
Jealous – Admire all
Backbiting – Praise others, see the positive aspect of everyone
Pulling others leg – Mentor others
Hiding information – Share your Knowledge, help others.
Dominating others – Encourage others.

So keep injecting all positive vibes will clean and purify your mind, it will create empty spaces where you can fill it with your new learnings, you can become more creative more enthusiastic.

You can perform your job with more honesty. With Honesty you can become more transparent and approachable. You would get enough quality time to spend with your family and friends and to follow your passion and dreams.

Once Steve Jobs while addressing school graduates at Stanford University, stated, “stay hungry…stay foolish”. Then only you can able to seek learning and accomplishing new things. Your hunger for learning new things will keep you alive, else you are dead.

Empty your mind so that you can learn more, explore more.
Empty your mind so that you can give more, receive more.
Empty your mind so that you become more Honest, more Transparent.
Empty your mind so that your life become more beautiful, more peaceful…

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

To be or not to be, to go all in or to unwind and relax, we question our dreams, running in constant chase of our quests to come true, we are the ones who never sleep. Dreamers we are called, the ones who passionately strive in the endeavours of the best they could ever be, here is a letter to me, a letter to you. In the stride of embracing the best you have ever been, nurture your soul before the onset of the abundance in you that lies unseen.

Too bold, too much for your age, you are doing too much, how often have you heard these notions been used to describe you? As we tirelessly strive to achieve the next goal we have in our mind, we are often told that we are being hard on ourselves, to enjoy life a little. Life in its entirety passes by us in its dynamic flair, and the existence we envisage holds unique individuality to each one of us. The choices one makes for themselves belies them and them only, and t

How To Remain Centered And Calm In Face Of Difficulty

My life is a mess and I have nothing to be grateful about! I witness myself say this phrase from time to time, where life plonks us into the desperation of ebb and flow of wilderness and things not going in our favour.

It is easy to say we are grateful and in complete balance when things are going well and life feels like the warm embrace of the sun shining on a Sunday morning. But the real test lies in remaining grateful and centred when life feels like spinning out of control.

While it is easier said than done, here are some reminders that might help you get through the days that feel like a burden –

1) This too shall pass, no moment in time that feels permanent loses its impermanence. We often lose hope when things don’t go our way and during these sad days, we should remember, that t

15 Most Liberating Thoughts For Someone Who Needs It

Our life unfolds in a succession of revelations of who we are. It is when we sit down and repeat the same sentence in our head over and over again, in every action we perform, every activity we indulge ourselves in, does it indulges into our existence as a habit.

The key to having a sense of liberation is allowing life to flow through, not forcing anything and more essentially not resisting change. I believe that our life improves in the direct proportionality of how often we are exposed to situations where are forced to challenge our age-old beliefs and counterfeited perceptions and seek the greater version of ourselves. When we get too comfortable in the comfort zones we build for ourselves, we do not grow into the people we are meant to be. Sadly most people embrace change only when metamorphosis is the less painful and only possible option.

My Rendezvous With Life

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

What are the five love languages?

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
