Well, it's time I wrote something for the folks to read.
I was thinking about the human mind and its amazing abilities. But, where there's a boon always appears a bane. The human mind is so evolved and it has so many emotions too. Acceptance, prejudice, confusion and ego may well be the most commonly encountered range of emotions and feelings that we encounter in daily life.
The mind's greatest drawback is the ego. It's like a wound, always prone to get worse or ready to be opened and fresh as it were in the beginning. In short, the ego is very touchy. How do we overcome it?
It's very simple yet challenging. Herein lies the paradox. Simple to understand, yet difficult to practice. Consider our human mind to be a huge pot brimming with thoughts, both good and bad. How do we separate the good from the bad? Well, the mind must be emptied of all thoughts totally.
Start afresh with an empty pot ready to be filled with good thoughts. If something good is done and people appreciate you for it, don't go to cloud 9. Instead, just relax, take the compliment and put it in your energy pot. Oh! Guess I totally forgot, why I call it, 'The Energy Pot'. Well, folks, we derive our strength from the mind, whether to create or annihilate. This pot, which is a mixture of all thoughts forms a concoction which can be used as a drug to mask your weaknesses temporarily or as an energy drink to give you strength to face life's challenges. Thus, the name.
Coming back to the emptying of thoughts, I suggested that because it definitely helps a person to start afresh. Soon after this, comes the filling up of the pot, which must be done very precariously, else the objective of the whole idea is lost. Every compliment must be another thing in your pot. Never throw away any bad remarks or things which might have bogged you down.
Let them be at the corner of the mind, reminding you about the flaws which might have hurt you or caused your downfall. Once the pot is full,(which never happens to be frank as there is always room for more) keep it close to your reach. Every time you attempt something new, derive energy from the good thoughts inside the pot. You shall always be successful, as the mind would be full of positive energy flowing through it. Strife teaches everybody a valuable only if we are able to see it's true purpose.
Another small lesson, which life has taught me has been passed on to whoever reads this.
Trust me, it works!!!
