Wonderful!!! Fences in your mind By Sharad k Shinde-Patil "Last night thinking of you a tear rolled out. I asked the tear; why are you out? The tear replied: There is someone more beautiful in your eyes so no place for me." I was walking down the busy street as the cell phone beeped and the above message came. No name but just the message and the number was unfamiliar. My mind went into a tizzy and for the life of me I couldn't understand as to who the sender was. Why would anyone send an me a message like this? It sure reminded me of the movie "Jogger's Park". The game had begun and with it came the reality of life. Sometimes it's the sense of defeat and hopelessness at others it's the thrill & excitement. It's been a good reminder for me of those occasions when I've been dealing with my own mental fences...those created by self-doubt, uncertainty and fear. Can you relate? When have you fenced yourself mentally in recent days or weeks? How did you close yourself within the comforts of your own imaginations? Perhaps your mental fence is procrastination, a deadening habit that keeps you stuck. Maybe yours, like mine, is related to self-doubt, and the on-going internal noise it produces that keeps you immobilized. Perhaps ours is the belief that we don't deserve success, so we sabotage ourselves to avoid having to find out how successful we could be. There are a million variations of the theme, but the result is still the same: we stay stuck. When one window to happiness closes another few open up but it's sad that we keep looking back at the closed window and refuse to see all the new open ones. Here is the bridge that needs to be crossed and hopefully it's not bombed or sabotaged. Isn't that exactly what we start thinking and somewhere that's exactly what we land up doing? The fear, the insecurity, the age, the ego and all other ill thoughts start coming forward. Who, what, where, why, when & how are the various doubts and destructive forces that come tumbling into play. This is the time to look on the brighter side as the same who, what, where, why, when & how are the simple questions to elementary answers of the fickle mind. First the fences in the mind need to be removed and one needs to open up to a brighter and beautiful thought process. Then as you look yonder you will always see the bridge that need to be crossed and yes, it's not bombed nor sabotaged. Take a walk on this side of your mind and suddenly you see the lovely river flowing by and the greenery in its finest. One of the key questions is: "How do I limit myself and how can I stop?" Those limitations are never external. They always live inside us. The antidote to being trapped by our mental fences however is to create a compelling enough vision, break the fences and to move forward. You are as important as you think you are and no one should be allowed to put you down although in this world of today that's exactly what everyone is trying to do. It's time to stand up, break the fences in your mind and cross all the bridges that will come your way. Life is a continuous educational program and each moment is a good lesson learnt. When times are tough all need to get stronger. Have a wonderful day!
