The patten of ones mind is as individual as ones finger prints. at times, when trying to bring ones point across to another, we fail no matter what. It may seem as if although we talk the same language, we hear different words. Often this will lead to an ever turning argument in which no one will be able to get their point across.
lets take as an example a get together of few couples. lets say that they have known each other for some years and get together every so often. As they were sharing experiences, one of them decides to share with his friend an experience he had with his partner while they were over seas. As the story telling progressed, the other half jumped in and tried to steer the story in a different direction, she felt the details were too personal.
They both experienced the event which had unfolded in its own way however they each have seen the event form a different angel. one sees the event as funny and the other find it personal and does not feel she can share it with their friends.
The above is only a light example of a different point of view. The question I am asking you here to ask yourself is not whether or not you know that your patten of thoughts is different, my question to you today is YOUR MIND, IS IT A GOOD FRIEND OF YOURS?
when you are alone with your thoughts does your mind encourage you, or does it put you down?
do you tell yourself that you can't do things? do you judge yourself too harshly? do you allow other people judgment stop you form doing what you want?
For as long as your action and thoughts do not involve hurting other people you should never stop trying!
make a plane of what you want to be and how to get there, don't look for easy ways out, yes success requires hard work, no one gets no where without working hard towards their dreams, it's the only way to get there!
in the Bhagavad Gita as it is, 6.5, it is said:
"One must deliver himself with the help of his mind, and not degrade himself. The mind is the friend of the conditioned soul, and his enemy as well."
Somewhere somehow ones mind gets on a road, the mind will stay on that road for it has no reason to get off it. The mind might know, in it's subconscious that it is on the wrong road or on an unhealthy road, but for as long as the owner does not drive it, the mind will steer itself according to its old habits. In such a case the mind can be an enemy. how ever if ones learn to drive ones mind, one can steer it in the right direction and reach new level of self discovery, according to ones own individual ability.
as a parent and an educator you can help the child get on the road which will lead the child to places which deliver happiness and self fulfilment or in other words success. and lets not forget that success should only be measured according to ones own talents and ability.
This is where my book comes in. it is a gentle way of showing the child through adventure the different direction in which one can steer the mind. and I would like to remind the positive encouragement is far more productive than a dominating encouragement. a dominating encouragement can lead the mind onto an unhealthy road.
I welcome you to comment and ask questions, for I will be delighted to learn form you experience just as I would be delighted to share mine.
