I have experimented with FB for quite a while. I found that
postings of anger, frustrations, sadness, etc that portray negativity
would usually gain higher response than postings of happiness,
gratefulness, positives, etc. Save for Birthday wishes or Anniversary
wishes. Then again, this is how I look at things. You may have looked at
them from a different perspective.
You see, this is one
of the most important lessons in life. There are no two persons who will
look at things EXACTLY the way we look at them. And this is NORMAL. It
is normal...from the things that I've learned. But I don't think most
people understand this.
Out of all the lessons learned for the past two months, this is the most important one : that it is
ALL IN THE MIND.
I mean, really. What else is there? How I look at things is exactly
what I think of it at that point of time. How you look at things is
exactly what you think of it at that point of time. Else why are brain
dead people considered as being dead or a 'vegetable'? The mind thinks
and these thoughts are manifested in many many many many many many many
many ways depending on so many variables - such as upbringing,
environment, 'knowledge', 'expertise'. And I think that is also how
different I am not only from the person sitting next to me, but also
from others in the neighbourhood, in other States, in other countries.
That is also how different you are, from me.
I have known
for sometime now that I can actually be anywhere I want to be, in my
mind. Because I read books a lot, I can go anywhere in the world. In my
mind. And I said that previously because I have no means of going abroad
like other fortunate people could. Never did I realise that what I
thought was true. I could be anywhere I want to be or anyone I want to
be, in my mind. And that if I practise the mind power techniques I
could, sooner or later, actually be in that place! I have actually
experienced that, not knowing that it was the mind at work.
I've
learned that the mind is the most powerful instrument that I could ever
have. And it is mine. No one can claim that from me. No one can take it
away from me. No one can force me into giving it away. They can torture
me, yes, they can. But they can't force it out of me. Do you think
anyone can take your mind away from you? So that makes me reflect back
to all those years of suffering, heartbreaks, frustrations, sadness,
etc. and how I have managed to come back to life. It's all in my mind.
If I didn't think of them as suffering, heartbreaks, frustrations and
sadness, I wouldn't have to endure them at all. I thought that is life.
But is it?
That's where I'm heading towards now. To make
my life a better life to live just from learning how to master my mind.
It's not easy...but it will be easy, once I master it.
