Stardate 18: Freedom

Howdy,

As you know that I was going through tough times.

To be precise : I was dwelling with demons who wish certain specific individuals to get Covid-19 and die, who mock an actor who committed suicide, who are so hypocritical and manipulative that they drive any sane individual to the point of chaotic insanity.

I had mentioned about these dark triad people in one of my previous posts so I won’t go into that rabbit hole again.


Allow me to tell you some of my thoughts about freedom and its importance:

Freedom is having total control over your time…

Freedom is breathing…. sleeping… eating… in peace 🙂

People tend to understand the cost of something only when they toil hard for it.
These times of post-modernism has made plebs so lethargic that they take freedom as if everyone is always born with it.

Peace out…

Stardate12: Death and its purpose.

Last year, I faced the death of one person closest to me. It drove me numb for first few hours. I didn’t know how to react. I reached her final resting place, reading Geeta during the journey. I didn’t cry when I first saw her, but when went down to lift her body, I broke into a thousand tears.

It made me rethink the one question I have always had. What happens after death?
Maybe what some call death is the actual liberation from this facade what some call life.
Or maybe death is the act of beginning of change of dress i.e. body and nothing actually happens to the soul. What if it’s a mere re-permutation of the atoms, reconfiguration of the energy of the body to follow the law of conservation? Thus, nothing happens, a dead person simply becomes a part of the Universe.

But, what happens to the living is clearly obvious. They mourn, they weep, they cry and they live. They live with this burden of never being able to talk to the person they lost. They wish they could turn back time and for just one minute, they could bid farewell… But, since the mere mortal are not Time Lords and can’t go all Capaldi to save Clara; they carry on. With a hole in their psyche, a painful memory. But again, what is this pain all about?

Stardate10: Memories

The human body is a tool of expression and body language tells how well we utilize those tools. When we face any situation we have two ways to deal with it: either think of ourselves as a victim or just take charge. Our body language can help with it. It alters our thought process, thus making a significant impact on how we act. The way we think about ourselves, the precise response of our brain to stress, the manner in which we show our dominance, all these can be trained. 
When we sit with open positions — our hands on our waists — our body goes through wonderful positive change. This enhances our vision, giving us a crystal clear idea of what to do and how to do it. When we do our task at hand, we feel positive about ourselves, thus cementing the feel-good vibes in us. 
This, in turn, kickstarts a cycle of positive feedback, thus helping us achieve better. 

There comes a time in a man’s life, when he has a single aim in life. Other goals subside into nothingness, becoming either recreations or distractions. I feel that that time is right now. There was a shy kid who would not speak even when he wanted to ask questions, who would swim in his textbooks and not do anything social. Once I was called up on stage to receive a prize in Quiz competition, I still remember that I didn’t climb up and received it from the area just below the main podium. It was a funny incident, but it made me look into myself. From being that timid, introverted boy, I have grown up to become a man of my destiny.
Today, whenever I enter into power positions, my concentration level increases and my brain goes into a focussed state. This has made my body into a jackhammer of excellence. All this was possible because of the right mindset. I have been training myself in being mindful of the body postures. I ensure that I don’t slouch, keep my spine straight, and keep my mind aware of the present. This has helped me in my social life as well. I am able to connect better not only with others but also with myself.

When someone goes in public and takes the central stage, people are not only looking at her/him, but they are engaging with all their senses. If the person delivers what induces an epiphany, the audience remembers the talk for quite a long time. Speaker’s expression also matters a lot. It’s not just the words, but the way she/he is elucidating the ideas marks an impression. Stage presence helps everyone, the speaker gains a better understanding of the audience, and the audience understands that the speaker is delivering his best. 
 To achieve maximum out of any opportunity life presents, one needs to be prepared. “Hope for the best, prepare for the worst” because who knows what is there in the heart of the future. 

The art of “Fake it till you make it” is a long-lost art which needs to be imbibed in our lives. It doesn’t mean that we are lying to ourselves into feeling better, it entails that we put 100% effort into whatever we are doing. If we try, try, and try again we the right mindset, the spring of success won’t be far behind. We need to be aware of loopholes in our personality, try to fill those gaps with the layers of self-confidence. When an opportunity shows up, one needs to man up. Focus and concentration, full dedication with 100% effort can certainly make us achieve up to our full potential.
Once we do that, we can utilize proper body language to inspire not just others, but also self-motive ourselves. Imagine being that beacon of inspiration, a ray of hope who enlightens everyone around them.
