Imagine having a precise map of the universe and a transport vehicle with infinite firepower and fuel, where would you go? Fortunately, we all have such a map and vehicle but ironically we all make two common mistakes which cause the widespread suffering around the world. The first mistake many make is that they do not assess where they are on the map before starting their journey and the second mistake is that they don’t assess if the destination they are heading towards is really the place for them. When we do not know where we are and where we need to go in life; and we are still compulsively moving as required by the designed system, then one day we would find ourselves in some of the other places; which may or may not be the place of our dreams depending on the luck.
Few common dialogues that most of us would have spoken in our lifetime at-least once are like, “Do you know who I am?” or “You have absolutely no idea who I am!” I believe deep down we all know what we are capable of is far more than what meets the eye of the general population, we have the ultimate tools and talent to make anything happen, and although most of us are always busy doing things that we believe to be an important task, but it is evident after seeing the latest trend that many of us are not living the life that we desired.
I always wondered why many people postpone the most important task of their personal growth in exchange for something as petite as watching repeated and obviously manipulated news. You always find the answer to what you look for, I found the answers which included, “It’s the system which has been established to keep people trapped in their struggle, people are uneducated, people are educated but not wise, people are too busy etc.” Although these reasons may be partially true it is not the complete picture. A true positive, solution-oriented picture would appear only when we begin with asking the right question, which for me was, “What could be done to bring about a massive positive progress in our world.”
The first answer I came up with was AWARENESS! If we find out WHERE WE ARE and WHERE WE NEED TO GO to arrive at our ideal defined self, then life would be a much more fulfilling experience. Then the next question would probably be; what aspect of life do we need to be aware of? Awareness should begin with understanding our own behavior, why do we behave the way we do? Why are some of the poorest people in terms of finances are sometimes seen the happiest of all? Many of us often claim that we love nature and would love to spend a majority of our lives in the mountains but still we end up living in a harsh concrete jungle for most of our lives? Why are we so powerless in making the life that we desire, even after being the most powerful species? Why taking a vacation even for a week for things that we love becomes such a big deal? How the majority of us ingrained the concept that ‘FUN is the tiny part of our life with a sole purpose of making us, productive workers!’ Why some of the richest group of people feel so unsatisfied and unhappy? Why are we doing things that are consistently taking us in the direction of self-destruction? Why are the majority of us still so unhappy and uncomfortable, even after being in the most advanced times of our history?
I studied everything I could to find the answers to these questions and many more. Most importantly, I looked for a solution that could make this world a better place. I read great books, studied various scientific studies and experiments; I listened to the best of talks made by the brilliant people in their field of mastery until one day when I proudly felt that I had found my path towards not only growth but also contribution. My path is to simplify the best of theories and make it available to as many people as I can so this knowledge would raise mass awareness, which would lead to great choices by the mass, manifesting the best version of all of us.
Knowing the intimate working of the tiniest unit of any organism could easily give you a good idea how the whole organism work, similarly connecting intimately with your own self would give you a great idea about everyone else. If you like the idea then I would encourage you to grow, I would be discussing various phenomenon related to human behavior during the next series of blogs purely as per my interest with reference to the scientific evidence and experiments. I wish you all the happiness and I thank you for your time!
