Success is an overrated term, its all Energy.
“imagine this, amid all the chaos and pitfalls, we still function and move on; follow a certain order which is essentially why we thrive on this great planet, Mother Earth!”
Try thinking why our species is grayed out with the mind, none is black nor white, none is purely good nor evil. We all are affixed on a sweet spot by ourselves with the support of our own conscious level of Justification and Righteousness. When we pay attention and not rather botically or subconciously (subsiding consciousness) live our daily lives, we can see the big picture where it is clear that everything is manifestation of Energy with Time.
Those are the two main units (X and Y) by which we can put ourselves in form of a mathematical equation. Once we understand this, the next wise thing to do is move forward. Forward, very consciously. See, consciousness is the ultimate tool to fix our mathematical equation as per our wish. Its a fundamental requirement like ‘Peace in World’ or ‘Peace of mind’. So, when we consciously approach our daily lives to fix this equation, we can get the maximum benefit out of it. How to do that?
Answer: Draw the Equation, X + Y.
X is Time and Y is Energy. X doesn’t listen to you. It keeps moving forward. Time, as an independent entity is out of your control. You can only mange, not pause/play the 24 hours you got per day. But think it from this perspective — Age. Age is a differnt thing. With conscious increase in production of Energy (the Y co-ordinate) and wise consumption, one can decrease the Aging process (let’s call Age as the X co-ordinate here on).
So, back to the Good/Evil, shades of gray thing; and relating our X and Y with it. To understand this, lets dive in a comparison example.
Take the Sun; our immediate, ultimate single-source of most of the Energy on this planet, is a ball of fire. Look how critically we are placed as part of Earth. Not so far away (no use of incoming energy) and not so close (be burned away). That’s a perfect grayed out scenario. Now, compare this with one of burning desires of humans. Say, sexual energy. It is the same thing too. If you hold on to it too close, it will burn all your Energy and leave you not even with ashes. At the same time, if you do not use it wise, it will be of no use to you in any format. One may wisely work to find his/her passion and channelise all the sexual energy towards it.
There are many other forms of energy sources inside our body and mind (body and mind — two very important tools). Few examples are, Food, Sex (we already discussed this), Acquiring wealth in the form of assets and currency notes, Alcoholism, any form of Fear, Rule and control obsession, Optimism, Pessimism, Idealism, etc., Look at the pattern, all of these are either to do with your body or mind, desires of body or mind, that’s all we got, so they can’t be more. But the truth is, they can be made more and be proved very useful for our self-upbringing — only when we learn to use them wise — by directing your energy flow towards something you are passionate about and exponentially increasing your skills on it. This diverted energy could be of immense support and help. Take time to read through successful people, most of them have a pattern — a turning point in their lives where they diverted their other forms of energy, to the thing for which they are famous now.
When opportunity comes and your preparation level doesn’t match it, it is wasted. Likewise, when you are best prepared without any opportunities coming at you, its again the same. Do NOT let that happen to you. The meeting point of Opportunity and Preparation forms ‘Synergy’. It happens only when you are prepared at the right time for an opportunity. Keep learning, keep pace with time. Time is the Super class investment of all. One wise man said, “You are that thing on which you spend most of your time.” It is very true. That You Are. Which is why time is precious. As with all precious things, Time also is limited. In fact, it is the most precious because the entirety of your life time is all yours! Life-time is limited for you to act. Use it wise.
This understanding and implementaion could bring exponential growth to humans as species. As animals, our goal may be pre-programmed to survival and reproduction. But as humans, we can program it to whatever we please. Happy Living!
