“Your mind is like this water, my
friend. When it is agitated, it becomes difficult to see. But, if you allow it
to settle, the answer becomes clear” ~ Oogway to Shifu
in Kung Fu Panda
Are we clear?
I mean are we clear of the clutter in our heads?
How can I not be preoccupied, not be lazy, not be tired
and ultimately not be happy … with a mind like below
Inhibiting Initiative
For many there is this noise between their
ears that is eating up all their creative space. They frequently complain that
they are too exhausted to do anything at all.
Observe if you are continuously justifying,
reasoning, rationalizing, reconfirming (your point of view), planning, scheming
and not the least judging. These internal dialogues waste our precious thought
space.
Observe that sometimes external (work or otherwise)
trauma/pressure can change these dialogue-threads’ noise. A trauma (say a
personal accident) can temporarily kill all the conversation threads, but none
for too long.
Stalling Decisions
Noise and too much chatter do not allow for
decisions; without a stand - vacillation between places causes another tempest
within the mind’s ocean.
