Highs and lows

BLOG #10

Life is an interesting game. Play with all your might.

We often feel low and high. Some refer to it as mood swings, some as craziness. That's absolutely normal for a human being. But, noticeable is that the frequency of our lows is very very higher than the highs. Moreover, this gap is being widened more and more in us. Nevertheless, all seems to be in it's right place, we experience a wave of blankness. The controversy that develops here is how the hell does this happen and where does this come from. There can be several reasons. The answer lies within.

=> I closed my eyes and found that it is the lack of satisfaction that gives birth to such state of lull. We have kept our heart on lease and instead use a hell lot of brain in all that we do, so the gleam of gratification is absent. I don't ask you to alter this situation and keep aside your brain. Rather smartness would be to treat the heart as coach, but ultimately let brain be the player.

=> At times, you get so dominated by the circumstances around that lead you to your darker side. My take on this would be why letting yourself feel the harsh tides. This will only increase your resistivity towards tough situations and will make you more and more immune to such situations later.

=> Now how about being disappointed from a near and dear one. First of all, delete these crap words from your dictionary such as bff (best friends forever), close one, foe etcetera. A person is just a person, what he actually is! Your perception of him/her creates contours. You have an image of the person, and have created standards for their do's and don'ts. You expect a behaviour from their image in your mind and then you want it to be exactly that way. When these behaviours match, you feel love and whenever these contradict, your get annoyed and sad. The basic funda is omitting these static images, the chunk of illusions out of your head and replacing it with dynamic acceptance of their responses to different situations.  Instead of living in those illusions and getting disheartened each time a piece of it tumbles down, if you'll just absorb the truth as it is, about anyone, things will be at peace. So will be your heart. Accept any good from a person as a gift and discard everything else along garbage. Though I knew this technique long before , I could only learn to implement it over time. Easier said than done. But, you'll definitely feel the change if you try this with wholesome efforts.

Coming to the highs, when you feel low less often, you'll automatically feel heavenly. Do whatever elates you. Be with whoever brings out the best in you. Ding dong. All your worries are lost and turned into gaiety.
