My Mind is Fighting a Lost Battle Against Time
My mind runs here, there, everywhere trying to win the race against time.It retreats to the past, leaps into the future, only to lose in the present.
My present moment is rolling but my mind is ahead or behind it.The poor mind is losing in both cases and you know who’s winning?
Time!
The unsung battle
Never could I realize my unconscious mind started competing with the invincible Time.
Time proposes friendship, offers to unite, invites the mind to end animosity.
But the audacious mind soaked in ego wishes to rule over the boundless.
Unlike mind, Time never calls it a fight, flowing at a divine pace, faithful to everyone.But that transparency deceives my mind.
No wonder, my mind one powerful unit. It flaunts, but in self-admiration, forgets everyone and everything is a slave to Time.
Interestingly, both have their best friend... I’m sure you want to meet them.
Meet my mind's bestie
Intoxication, my mind’s best friend. It possesses every quality.It makes my mind dance in good times, a pain-reliever in bad.
But my exuberant mind cannot identify Intoxication’s cruel intentions.
Besides having monetary demands, Intoxication seizes independence. It takes my mind for a drive to future, reverses gear, accelerates to the past. And when the psychological drama is over, throws it to the unpleasant reality soon.
Illusionary happiness convinces the unconscious mind to depend on Intoxication mesmerizing by its bittersweetness.
Time watches everything silently and loves the juvenile games!
My mind doesn’t realize flowing with Time creates an awareness that solves most of the riddles.
Mind (riding on ego) wins moments when it has materialistic possessions including power, but Time is smiling on the Death corner to ruin the party.Time never reacts on course, it's best friend does the talking!
Unveiling Time's best friend
None other than Karma.Brutally honest, one powerful unit.Time prefers silence, but Karma is violent.
They share beautiful chemistry.Questions on time, Karma takes the responsibility of answers.Time defines the best part... the answers of Karma.
The style of Karma’s answering is different, more of a beating.
Poor mind, unable to face the wrath not only lost but also accepted.
Yes... my mind realized it was fighting a lost battle.
Finally, it pleaded to Time ...
I lost to you, proud; Karma taught me loud.Creepy thoughts are dominant, laugh when Ego I say I’m confident.I want to age with you; I want to walk with you.Help or it’s my end, please help my friend.
It was difficult to convince Time who thought it could be a mind’s ploy.
But Time filled with self-respect accepted it with open arms.
It responded ...
In the quest of running, you forgot how to walk.I’m winning, either win with me or lose against me. I’m flowing, either flow with me or drown.
And then evolved a conscious realization ...
Happiness is nowhere but in the awareness of the present moment.
My mind made a new friend ... my body, which accompanies it everywhere, unlike earlier.
Now, my mental body and physical body walk together along with time. Do you know how are they connected? Through the awareness of my breaths!
Final Words
Negativity spares none.I face moments when the outer world is all over me....
Do I always need to justify my actions to people?
Success and failure are brothers from different mothers. You try hard but the end result is not always in your favor. It is the time when people start judging you and even ask for justifications for your downfall or failure.
Straight out, you need to appreciate the fact that your actions were inspired by none other than you. You did what you felt was right. People who can accept and understand it will agree to it. They will always back your decision.
On the other hand, those who disagree; your hundreds of justifications will be in vain. Trust me, it is impossible to clarify your actions to everybody.
People perceive what they want to as per their convenience and understanding. Moreover, why do you need to give justifications for your committed actions? A decision taken can have both the conditions possible. Either it will be right or it will be wrong. Be brave enough to take the responsibility of any condition. Why are you giving justifications to others and authorizing them to take a call on your decision?
Also, the definition of right and wrong vary from person to person. Subsequently, neither it is possible nor it is your responsibility to make everyone happy.
You don’t owe any justifications to anyone except to your time. Obliging others with your justifications is a big question on your self-belief and self-importance. Therefore, it is entirely your responsibility to take a stand for your actions.
Always be loyal to your time as you cannot predict how much you have. Do things what the time demands and not what the people demand. It is the justification for your time, not people, which eases your life journey.
What is an Ideal Condition and can we attain it?
An ideology about something, which is matchless and errorless is an Ideal condition. It is the perfect situation, which one seeks to attain. A search of the ideal condition has been going on since ages but nobody has the perfect answer to it.
It is the perception of a situation, which we desire. It is in the abstract form which we wish to realize practically. Most of us desire an ideal condition. Similarly, the definition of an ideal condition for every individual is different. Moreover, it's definition keeps on changing.
Almost every individual craves for an ideal condition out of every situation but does everyone reach there? The matter of fact is that it is virtually impossible to reach there every time. The quest for perfection is fine, but to believe that everything will be perfect itself is a contradiction.
What happens is, when a situation is concluded, most of us feel that it could have been better. Subsequently, the reach to the ideal condition remains distant from us.
Moreover, many times, on the verge of actualizing our current ideal condition, we start craving for something else simultaneously. As a result, the feel of attainment is denied. Eventually, an ideal condition still remains the desired condition.
One interesting observation which can be concluded is that there is only one ideal condition, 'CHANGE' because it is the change, which is bound to happen. It also adds to the reason why our desire for an ideal condition keeps on changing.
Let us keep on trying. Let us keep on grinning while bearing the hard knocks. Let us never allow the desire for an ideal condition distress us and kill our now. Let us enjoy the never-ending journey to the ideal condition.
Why is it important to stay aware in the present moment?
The past is gone; The future is unpredictable. What you have and what you can control right now is your present. It is imperative to feel it to enjoy it.
As they say, time and tide wait for none; likewise, you should appreciate the present moment rather than making a hue and cry of your past or worrying about the future.
On the contrary, what you do is either you ponder upon your past, or you are busy making plans for future. As a result, you neglect to feel the essence of the present moment.You need to realize that 'now' is the moment to cherish. These small moments in the present moment can only make your life happy. Awareness in the present moment makes every moment memorable in a way where you don't need memories to cherish later.
When you enjoy the present, the future is bound to be good. One foot in the past and one foot in the future is just like keeping your feet in two boats and trying to make a balance to stay safe. This way, you will not only hurt yourself but also will lose the precious moments of now.
STOP HERE. Take deep breaths. Enjoy the NOW. Don't run away from it. Don't allow your thinking to take control over your feelings. Things will happen. You are neither early nor late. Respect the 'TIME ZONE.' Just flow with each passing moment. Relax and enjoy the present moment. Learn the art of Meditation to stimulate your feelings, which will keep you away from overthinking.
Life is beautiful. Start cherishing every moment now.
