CONNECTING THE DOTS..

Moving forward is the essence of living. There is no place for stagnant mindset in this fast changing world. Same is true for our actions. We need to level up ourselves to keep up with the trend that is always very dynamic. These actions, however small they may seem, have deep impacts in the long run. We all have known about the existence of multiple dimensions. They all are similar but the smallest of the choices make them different. Thus we have been well taught about the importance of actions by space thriller movies like Interstellar.

In our daily life we come across many stimuli and situations. For the stimulus we react as per our subconscious mind. The situations are important because our conscious mind has to decide the future action. In such cases there are many possible choices but we choose one as per our knowledge, intuition, suggestion etc. At that very moment the problem is solved and we are liberated. But the impact of our choice is seen much later on in time. Every possible solution has its own long term implications. Choices made keeping in mind the long term implications are always the best choices. But in reality we can often predict the long term path of our action. Thus we almost every time have blind solutions based on our intuition. Well, many may argue that intuition is the guiding light of the angels but we can know that only when that particular decision turns out to be something heavenly.

Everyone who is reading this blog has had reached a certain position in life. If they look back and concentrate on their past actions and find that one particular choice which had played the largest role is moulding them as they are today. We call them turning points of life. These turning points are nothing but problem solution situations. The solution if results into something good in the long term we keep them as examples. But if they turned out to be negative in long run, we regret. Past cannot be changed. It is also true that in future we will have to face many such life changing problems and find a feasible solution. We will never be sure of the long term implications. But what we can do is take a well informed decision. Even if that turns out to be bad in the long run, we should have the courage to decide. Courage to take action and courage to take responsibility if it goes south are important life skills. These skills can never be taught. They are embedded in the personality and moulded by life itself.

Everything in our life has been because of our choices. The humans have become the supreme creatures on this planet because they have been gifted with higher intellect which enable them to innovate and take informed decisions to change their life. We all have done it. We are alive because we are doing it this very moment. Connecting the dots by looking back reveals to us the larger picture which we often neglect while going on with our daily lives.  Looking back makes us humble because we get to face the reality. The stars who loose themselves in the stardom can look back on to their struggling days. In those days they will find their turning point moments. This very realisation that hard work pays its rewards will be enough for anyone to remain grounded and keep their head down. However busy our lives may seem, we must look back and find our moment. The moment that defines who we are. Being able to connect the dots is a super power because we get transformed into our higher self as well as gain wisdom for life from life itself..

IMPROVISING..

Improvise simply means to act in the flow. ACT being the center of this thought. We achieve the greater success in life not by avoiding the hurdles but by struggling through them and improvising at each and every point. Yes it is important to have a plan but we all know life is uncertain. It rarely goes according to our thoughts. Things often fall in the right places. In such a scenario, improvising becomes crucial. But there are limits to it too. Those limits can only be known with experience.

Our life becomes meaningful only when we fix an aim. This gives direction to our efforts. Without aim we can only flow with life. In such case improvising becomes impossible. Life is uncertain and it is never a one door/ direction phenomenon. It is filled with opportunities of growth and success. These opportunities are disguised and hence a mind which can improvise each scenario can recognise it and act on it. Without such a mindset we will struggle and make the journey hard.

Allow me to use a famous line from the movie series named harry porter. It goes as "There are always two choices, one is easy and the other is right" . Improvising in a situation never means to leave the morality and gulp the chance available. Life has a bad habit of testing peoples characters. The ones who truly shine are the ones who have chosen the right. Such wisdom to choose the right comes from experience.

In every situation the first thing that needs to be done is analysing the situation with a calm mind. This will let us screen out the opportunities. After this, an impartial analysis should be done. This will make us avoid getting into traps and doing the thing that is right. Finally the most important thing is to act. Without this final step we cannot move ahead. Thus improvising is easy to hear but in reality it involves many crucial elements. When we look back on our lives we can easily make out the linkages. These linkages are based on our decisions which are related to our skills of improvising. Practising slow living can really help with this. As per every skill, improvising can also improve with practise and experience. Thus keep living and keep improvising..
