Certainty

What is Certain?

Is there anything? even if it is, are we sure that it is certain? or is it an illusion where we find comfort?

We assume. That’s what we do. We try to find the probability of an event. But we can never be certain of anything. Even with certainty, you can’t be a 100% certain of anything due to what we know of quantum theory. So, all we can say is “most probably”. e.g. It is highly probable that the sun will rise tomorrow. Even death may not be a certainty in the future when we may possibly be able to upload our minds into a machine.

The famous Heisenberg's principle defines uncertainty so well that one can't have a counter question. It says “the position and the velocity of an object cannot both be measured exactly, at the same time, even in theory “.

Ask yourself. What % of thoughts in your head a day is based on future events? how many actions do you perform a day keeping future state in mind? Right!!! you have figured some answers to it. Now, let’s think how many of them are futile? Most of these so-called future events are based on level of certainty. If you are highly confident about something, then the probable future you have figured will come to be & so on.

Let’s bring in some numbers to give you perspective.

Experts estimate that a human mind goes through about 70000 thoughts a day. Since we have established that most of them are future influenced, let’s say 60% of your brain energy is used up. If half of 42000 thoughts are assumed to be productive, then that still leaves us with 21000 un-productive thoughts from not-so-happening future. Imagine all that space & energy in your brain to concentrate and used up in your today… now... this very moment.

How do you imagine your life will be?

How good it would feel to be able to live through those tiny moments of happiness life throws at you?

It’s all about recognizing the choices there is for life to offer.  

Would you be a more In-the-moment, live-free person? Would you live a life where quality takes the driving seat instead of quantity?

Or

Would you be the fear-driven, live-for-that-glorious-imaginary-future person? Would you want to be Oh-Shoot-I-missed-that person?

The only thing that is certain is the very moment one is living in. Make it count.

Peace out !!!

Sigh of relief

What is a Sigh Of Relief

If people breathe or heave a sigh of relief, they feel happy that something unpleasant has not happened or is no longer happening. This is what you would find in google if you search of “Sigh of relief “

However, our web friends don’t tell us that even though the unpleasantry act hasn’t happened or no longer happening, it has still done its damage to our health & heart.

We, humans beings are designed to look at the immediate happiness instead of the long-lasting pain incurred through the course of our lives. However, our minds can’t fathom the damage it incurs right before the so-called sigh of relief comes our way. There are too many to count emotions & predictions it goes through right before the actual outcome which takes a toll on our body, mind & soul. Imagine each prediction which results in a different outcome & experiencing all those outcomes and stress even though 99% of those scenarios will never play out.

So, take a second. take a step back. Breathe in that extra oxygen. This prolonged second can help prolong your beautiful life. It can help you think bigger instead of concentrating on the ground level problem. You never know, you might even end up finding a solution.

At the end of it , It is up to us to figure out if that involuntary sigh of relief is worth all that stress we go through

Or

Can we just find a way to avoid it all to begin with..

Peace out ..

Are you free? Have you ever been? What makes you think you are?

Think about it. Every thought in your head is influenced by something or somebody. So where are your own thoughts? They have been pushed so deep in our busy fast-paced life, to an extent that we can question its existence. Time and time again, we have pondered upon the choices we have made in life & will make in future. Some say we are destined. I frankly believe that it is just a cage to bind us in. Make us believe in. Take comfort in it to hide behind our unexpected results through our influenced choices.  Simply speaking our thoughts are someone’s business & money-making opportunities.

How does one get away from these loops of thoughts & create your own?

You can. All you need is some consistent effort to get yourself out of the box. The digital boxes which has become an integral part of life. Most start their day with one. It can be Mobile / TV / Radio et all. Stop that. I mean it. Its not that impossible to do so. This is a 2 -step exercise.

·         1st Step - All I ask is that you spend at least an hour of your day away from your digital influence. Have it just to yourself. Think about yourself. Gather all your thoughts. At first, it would be difficult. But as & on you make it a conscious effort, it will begin to show you the power of your own mind. After few days, you will stop thinking about everything which truly has no value in your life. That is when 2nd step comes in.

 ·         2nd Step – Don’t judge it. Don’t question it. Just gather. Don’t think. Let it run wild. Your mind has the power to transport you to unimaginable places & you just need to sit back & enjoy the ride. Trust yourself, it can never be idle. It will surprise you.

This is where you will begin to have thoughts which are truly yours. You can’t fake it. You can’t lie to yourself. It will be just you & your awesome soul. There is so much power in knowing oneself.

We are creatures of habit. We take 41 times to convert an action to a habit.  You can truly unlock your mind & through that, you would come to know yourself. The true yourself.

For all you know, you might end up exploring an awesome you. Your life as you knew it will be so much better, healthier & most importantly “peaceful”.

Hope you make the right one!!!

Peace out!!!
