Understanding human mind is not an easy task. Today, the entire world is facing the crisis of Pandemic. Unexpected losses have shattered millions around and patience is being tested big time. In this difficult time, we have to come together and support each-other. Together we will overcome this crisis.
In most of my articles, I had been pressing upon the importance of ‘Human Mind’ and how the mind-webs can lead to the destruction of self and others.
As per my knowledge, I repeat as per my limited knowledge; mind is like the flowing water, that, given a chance it will fall down. It never elevates by itself, it can not be controlled unless you build up a dam, it can be wild like a flash-flood and create a havoc. If nurtured and trained with care it can be the reason to create vegetation for millions around.
Human mind needs to be trained and controlled. One step at a time. In my last article Change is Constant :- I have described the process of change and how you can manifest the goodness of life within you!
Depression: The Silent Killer
The disease that is creeping into most of the human population, is like a weed (“a plant in the wrong place”) Weed is something that grows or reproduces aggressively. (source wikipedia) It needs to be controlled regularly on a daily basis. The moment you take it for granted, without your knowledge it will sweep you apart!
Anything can trigger and/or lead to Depression.
2020 : A negatively powerful time; that is testing patience of every individual
- Millions are without job
- Pandemic has killed many and created a huge gap
- Uncertainty is looming around
- Financial losses have resulted in many taking adverse steps in life
- Unemployment is on the rise, bank loans, EMI’s and other liabilities questions the very existence of an individual and many more…..
“You have been criticizing yourself for years, and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.” – Louise L. Hay
Human Mind is the most unpredictable and volatile gift of God, if and only if, it is not mindfully controlled. You can read about the power of Human Mind in my article Delusion and Illusion
Day-dreaming can never help you achieve anything. You need to be out of your comfort zone. You need to push yourself to find your real potential. You need to start believing in yourself and STOP comparing with others. We loose, when we don’t have faith in our own-self.
The point over here is crystal clear – everything that needs to be achieved in this world needs efforts, hard-work and dedication. To have a healthy mind you need to work on your mental-health. You need to allow others to work with you, you need to allow and trust your loved ones and you need to be vocal
