Virtual Boundaries

From believing in an edgy world, we have discovered our geoid shaped planet.

While searching for the limits, we have unveiled an ever expanding universe.

Boundaries are not the part of natural creation but that of human’s.

And to cross those boundaries is consequent upon our will.

Indeed, nature has bestowed us with no boundaries – physical or virtual. No wonder, it has provided us with big and small hurdles to test the tenacity of our will but no hurdle is obstinate enough to be called a boundary. When we wish to achieve something, we calculate the extent to which we can go to achieve that thing, the amount of risk that we are ready to take and the volume of stakes that we can put and thus, we set our boundaries.

Life is the biggest gamble and it is up to us to decide the amount with which we would play – some of us play big and some play small and the risk and rewards are likewise. If we set up the boundaries of our time and efforts in our acts of achieving, the boundaries of our rewards would automatically be set. Some of us are determined to achieve and commit to achieve despite everything – we call them unrealistic until they succeed, and then we call them lucky. On the other hand, most of us seek the prop of so called ‘reality’ and compromise with our dreams – we wish to achieve but when it comes to striving we are often lazy.

Reality is that tool with which we set boundaries between our present world and a world, which we call unrealistic or impossible. However, it is always impossible unless it is done. A century back, space trips and cyber world were unrealistic but they flourish today because of some of those who mingled reality and unreality – for whom there were no boundaries.  

There are no boundaries for boundaries are not in the nature of universe and we are a part of this universe. So, break away from your artificial boundaries and become a drunkard lover, who can even go to hell to make love with his beloved.

Reality is just a refuge for those, who are tired of their dreams. Whether you want to live like a refugee or die like a successful lover – the choice is yours!  

The Only Obstacle

The pupil raised another question to his teacher, “What are obstacles that lay in our way to success?” The teacher had a wise smile and took the class to school terrace. He asked the pupil to climb the fences and look down. The pupil was dead scared, “I will fall and die,” he said. “You won’t. Now climb” But the pupil did not move. After repeated persuasion, he mustered up some courage, climbed for a fleeting moment and jumped back to the terrace floor.

“You see,” said the teacher “you and your fears are your only obstacles. Once, you overcome them by having faith in you, you will be unstoppable”

When you are afraid to do something, you tend to find myriad excuses so that you do not have to perform – you call them obstacles. Even a small reason will work as good as a big one if you are afraid and wish to avoid it. At that time, you will not find solutions but problems & hurdles and you will have more of both. If you waste your energy in constructing backup plans before starting your journey, you will end up living your life in your backups. It is good to be prudent but your prudence must not interfere with your goals.

Who and what can stop you? Nobody and nothing but you yourselves!

You are afraid to take the plunge – a leap of faith. But then, what is not risky – being born as a helpless and completely dependent infant is risky! Sharing the air, you breathe in with a large population is risky! Driving is risky and so is eating the food produced by an unknown farmer! Life is in itself a risk – a gamble, a coincidence! Despite this, you live and keep your faith.

To achieve something, to succeed, you must trust your abilities like an infant trusts his mother. Failure must not be an option – you may lose some levels but the game must end with your triumph. You are unstoppable only your will to achieve has to overcome your fear of failure. There is no mundane obstacle as great as the one that lie within – an inertia that prevents you from leaving your comfort zone, to take risk and to kick start the journey.

You may lose once, twice or thrice but each one of us is a born winner. Hence, victory is your property and the ultimate claim on it will be yours if and only if you remove the only obstacle...

Success & the Power of Mind

Once a pupil asked his teacher about the secret of success and the teacher asked him to meet at the river bank after the class. At the river bank, the teacher and the pupil chit chatted and decided to take a dip in the river. As they approached the middle of the river, the teacher pushed the pupil’s head under the water. The pupil wrestled to pull up but couldn’t – he wrestled harder and failed again but he kept trying and finally succeeded. “Were you trying to kill me?” asked the bewildered pupil. “What was only thing you wanted and you fought for while you were underwater?” asked the teacher. “I wanted to get out and breathe,” replied the pupil. “This is the secret of success,” said the teacher “wanting and striving for something as you were striving to breathe underwater”

Success has as many definitions and formulas as many mouths. Its components are numerous – hard work, luck, attitude, perseverance, etc. Let sum them up, the only component is the power of our mind.

As inside, so outside! One’s world is the perception of one’s own senses and more than that an interpretation of one’s own brain. Our eyes provide a pretty distorted image with a gap in it caused by the blind spot to our brain. The pixels are blurred and the onus is on our brain to interpret it. Don’t believe me! Well have a few shots of alcohol down your throat and check the efficiency of your eyes.

Yes, a very potent power lies inside the brain box and not on the readings in our palm. The faculty of our mind has enormous potential. When we do not succeed, it is because our entire energy controlled by our mind was not concentrated in the achievement of our goal. In other words, we had other things in mind, especially the fear of failure. If we concentrate our energy in fearing to fail, we will fail for we have not concentrated our energy in achieving – no amount of hard work can avoid it. When we concentrate fully and leave no options for ourselves but to succeed and succeed, the universal energy connects with the energy directed by our brain and it seems that universe is conspiring to make us achieve our goal.

So, next time if you wish to achieve and succeed, keep success as the only end and not one of the options. Concentrate the power of your mind in achieving and devote all your energy for that – Success is waiting for you!
