Meditation - An Art with No Fucks!

Yesterday I found myself, Today I see a changed man in the mirror. One thing I learned from this was that I didn't give a fuck yesterday, I don't give a fuck today and I probably won't give a fuck tomorrow either. It sounds pretty blunt, but not without a proper reason will I be that naïve. At some point in my life, I found that I was pretty distracted by the environment I was in. Even though I learnt crucial lessons, those moments make me realize why it is important to focus. With no delusion, I can say that all I have is myself. Only I can make myself better and it is me who can change the course of my life. Life is based of choices, choices that shape our future. I see it as a paper full of Multiple Choice Questions. But how did I navigate what course I wanted to be on? I think I have a blurry yet a stringent answer to that.

Meditation and self-care. Do I see myself as selfish person? Maybe I do. Was I a selfish person? Probably not. Will I carry on being this kind? Absolutely yes. I found my way through Meditation. An art different from others. An art that's reveling. I was asked once to meditate and just focus on one color - The color white. Some would think that it's easy. But it's not. Within seconds, I could see the White image populated with Pictures, Moments and unforeseen Future events. I had never felt so distracted. So, I repeated this practice till I could make peace with the doubts and issues I had.

During this transition, I would reflect on the situations I have been in. People I have met and decisions I have made. So I broke it down into these 3 sections and started working on these issues.

THE SITUATION - A situation is what we create or what we choose to be a part of. Hypothetically, I see someone doing unjust to another human being. A kind that is accepted by the society. A type we might have always seen around us and that is, "The action of hurting someone". Now it comes to my personal choices, If I want to be a part of it. If I want to see a change in my environment. If I choose to take action and protect what's accepted in the society, I will be classified as a Bad Sport. If I stay silent, I have accepted to choose my environment. It is myself, my decisions that are important. From the type of people I accept in my circle to the amount of food I consume. Through Meditation, I focused on what I want to see and feel. What makes me stand strong on my beliefs.

PEOPLE - In Layman's language, have people who make you feel right and appreciate you. Fuck those who try to de-motivate you and most important of all, are JEALOUS of your honest ass!! Meditation and self reflection has taught me to not be a giver always. A wise decision does not always make you a bigger person. Sometimes, We are the ones who end up looking foolish.

DECISIONS - It's a simple yes or no. Or is it complicated? I would see myself in these complicated situation. The What-if situations really hit me hard. To come out of this, I would just focus on the first part of this passage. YES or NO. We usually have a decision in the first 5 seconds whether we want to proceed with an action or no. There is no over thinking or doubt in these two words. If I think of my personal image all the time, I'd be a poor man. Through meditation, I feel calmer and confident in my decisions.

I believe meditation is a great practice. Not because I practice it, but because it helps reflecting on what's important and what keeps me happy. So what is it going to be worth? I'd say it a win-win when you have a lot to gain and nothing but negativity to loose.

That's it for this Friday. Stay Tuned for more!!
