Many might not know about the "Johari Window". Google it. I was just going through it again recently, trying to identify my blind spots. They say when you seek answers, miraculously they alive come in some form or the other. One of my blind spots pointed out by a friend is that I take life seriously, but I guess things change, and they should. Change is inevitable and we must all agree, change happens everyday. So is change for good or for bad? 80% of the human beings don't realize change is for good. Don't worry, if you have realized it, you are not in the 80%.
So why did I take life seriously? To be honest. No clue. I guess there are some experiences with life and relationships that we try to push them to the limits, they break apart and they make us serious. Some things don't work out for us, and we keep playing the same record over and over again in the mind that makes us do things at times that do not work in our favour. Simplicity is complex enough by itself, but the issue really is that we end up thinking too much about making it simple, that it gets complicated. Like for example, some simple daily decisions which might help us lead a simple life. Like, listening to your favourite songs which brighten up your mood. Daily discipline has been an improbable topic for me. I wonder how some people have the patience to sit and do things and everyday - see?, This is how I complicate it. Why think about it? Do it mate! The reason I might not do it, is because I don't believe it'll work for me. Actions create habits, and trust me, we don't have any hiccups in liking our habits. We do them day in and out and enjoy doing them, be it good or bad. Rather I would say, we don't have a choice but to follow those habits diligently. Wrong? Then why are we bad at breaking our habits apart? Mood? Mental strength? Probably taking life seriously was a habit with me, so have I realized it now? What am I going to do about it? To be honest, I had to think about it, think deeply as to why I do it, some of them have promised me to help me out with it, I guess they will, cause I have given in to work on it. Is it going to be easy? I don't want it to be easy, I want it to be simple. Is there a difference there? Would definitely like to thank my friend for making me realize it, probably those interesting conversations did the magic. "Listen to your favourite song in the morning everyday, and your day would be great", I did it this morning, the day went great. "Faith is belief in the unseen", and I am banking on my faith.

Never did I knew, you are born with a pen! Wonderful way to let fumes out and live in peace.
Nice composure!
Hmmm.. true what you have written.. thinking is different and converting those thoughts.. thinking a lot makes life complicated and actions, wrong or right make it simpler.. i guess we all should leave our baggage and live in the moment..
loved the simplicity of thoughts.. well connected and connecting.. :)
Thanks Manoj! :)
Deepthi - leaving the baggage behind. So true. it has to be simple from now on. :)
