Cultivating Mind To Its True Capacity-Judge Yourself

As always said the first step towards starting a task is to analyse ones know how in the field and his tools .Simply jumping into a business may not always be a cheerful expereince .So don't always jump into staritng things without proper homework because that may lead to disappointment.
The other view can also be to be ready to enjoy your first experience and enjoy its fruits.

With a positive and creative attitude when we plan our day or a task we have multiple questions in our mind .If there is no doubt ,apparently half of the work is done but if there any doubts and you have a target to achieve then there is a lot of work required.

Let us take the example of a student who thinks of gaining merits in the examination .The first thing that can disturb him is whether this is possible by his intellectual abilities.

So he should first judge his abilities. The cliff top can not be reached in a day.If he is a person of below average academic proficiency, he should not plan to get perfect grades just because he thought of this one night. I don't believe that he can not get perfect grades but he has to work beyond his capacity. And this "capacity" is not one day's task. So with the existing proficiency he may not attain what he wants just because it was creative and positive.

Let me elaborate with another example .You are a housewife and one fine day your creative juices start flowing and you plan to build a wall hanging .You try with all your might , get the right material ,get the design and you have visualized where the hanging would look good .But it doesn't come out well. And it may also happen a neighbour of yours has passed by a similar thought and she is able to do it very well.

If you are human you will certainly start comparing.

As the days pass you may be wearing down your mind with the thoughts of being incapable. Then you must ask yourself few questions.

Do you have some experience of woodwork architecture?

Did you take some advice from any of the carpenters?

Have you revised school geometry and mensuration?

These questions are not valid for a person who is abreast with the art one wants to pursue and experiment.

Certainly if your answer is "NO" or ‘partially YES" then you should reward yourself and consider your first creation as masterpiece. Why not? It is a thing which is created with so much of aspirations and hope and above all it meant to decorate your house which will generate a positive energy when ever you will give it a glance.

Slowly and steadily if you build few more artifacts ,take help of carpenters if you are not able to get the idea of dimensions and exact way of piecing and joining ,you will certainly develop an edge and you will improve .

One thing I would like to emphasise over here is "stop comparisons".There is one eternal truth that God has made all people different with different situations and different potentials.

In no case one should compare oneself with other .The motive of doing things should never be to get an extra praise as compared to others.The thought of this kind is insane in itself as it will render you useless some or the other day .You are not following "positive creativity".

Cultivating your Mind To Its True Capacity

"Where the mind is without fear....." were the lines of a poem written by Shri Rabindra Nath Tagore reminds me of trained behaviour of mind where success doesn't look impossible. A change in attitude can bring happiness to your life and you can start seeing things from a different dimension.In this leaf and the articles to come I would like to share my thoughts about how in this materialistic world we can still remain spiritual, untouched by the agonies and miseries and achieve our goals also.

Mostly people fail not because they are not capable enough but because they have not tried to their full capacity. Through my articles I will try to throw some light on the aspects of ones nature that can help a person to do a full introspection of themselves and start afresh to do any task with a positive attitude.

I don't believe that one fine day somebody thinks of something and that should be achieved the same day. I also don't believe that whatever one feels one should get, should be in his or her hand anyways.Sometimes it is good not to achieve certain things. Had it been achieved it would have imbalanced the laws of nature and would have done no good to anybody. So let us first give a thought to what all we should try to achieve in life.

A student wants success in examinations, a businessman wants unending profits, a lover wants the beloved, a parent wants loving kids and so on .The list is unending. If we see around ourselves everybody wants something or the other. What would have happened if these "wants" were not there? No body would have loved this life .The Almighty doesn't want his creations to loose interest in life. He wants them to live life to the fullest. And all this happens because everybody on this earth is wanting/looking for/searching/aspiring/believing something in their rights and capacity.

Eventually the God also wants something from his creations and the whole world revolves around this "super want".

And we can very well make out that God is quiet successful. He is achieving everything all the time.

May be you would have realized that why God is so successful.

So the first lesson is you should always want what is "positively creative" and doesn't harm any soul. God always maintains the equilibrium of nature. He has created the cycles of nature in a way so as to maintain the balance.

Some may argue that why the calamities happen and why do people die out of no reason but if we look back it is the human who tries to imbalance the laws of nature and utilizes the resources only for his self interest. The day all this is stopped the nature will only help the mankind in all its kindest ways.
