The world we live in has collective
unconscious networks. Carl Gustav Jung proposed that everyone has a 5% of their
consciousness common with every other being on the sphere. Several intertwined
associations, dependence, interdependence and counter-dependence. There is
always too much that holds people together, sometimes even in a pathological
manner. Colors can blend into a mosaic, or end up as a dark muddled blob,
depending on how they are merged. Twine rightfully braided forms a beautiful
pattern whereas left by itself becomes a messy inseparable coil of knots. Connections
need to be precise. That is when messages are transmitted dead-on and
relationships are nurtured.
Seldom are we sure about what we feel for most
people and why it is so. The deepest connects (obviously) originate from the
core. And the core is small as a spec. Like the epicenter of the earthquake
that generates ripples that devastate, or the center of this magnanimous sphere
that gives us life. The core offers paramount fortitude. Appearance, physical
attractiveness, likes, interests; all form surface elements. Respect, trust,
freedom of expression and empathy are the core binding essentials of
relationships. If ties that bind are weak, the bond can never be durable.
Barrage of flurries
It’s a busy life. And it’s not an easy
life. Personal frustrations and let downs drain energies. The nagging
deadlines, flustering traffic, nosy neighbors, egoistic friends, over-involved
parents, increasing costs and dwindling savings; survival seems like an ordeal. Midst this, taking the time to care for another, nurturing associations,
building on connects, targeting the core... sounds a bit unrealistic and
fantasy like. Make a pattern among the ripples of the storm. And stick to it.
The world will not change for you. But you can make the right amends for
yourself.
Love thyself
The most important of all beings is YOU. Generosity
is desirable, but not self-beating. In a
selfish world, one needs to be greedily selfless. Serving others but serving
yourself too. Think about it: Who loves you enough? Who cares plentiful? Nourishes
you amply and heals when you hurt? Have you made right choices for yourself? Spare
some energies for this special person called: YOU. Label it on a time table as
‘my time’. Write out your ideas and thoughts on who you are, where you want to
be, and how do you want to connect with the world. List down your fears, debate
their existence and find ways to fight them. Do a reality check on your
perspective of life. Ask yourself:
- Who am I?
- What do I want?
- Why do I want this?
- Where will I get with this?
- Which is the best way to do this?
- How will it make me grow as a person?
- How will I connect better with everyone?
Don’t be a phony
No one likes phonies. And yet, everyone at
some point gets sucked into the plethora of fake expressions and counterfeit
jargon to please the world. There’s no need to forge emotions; if you do you’re
going to get a sham back. Genuine relationships are limited but their richness
and essence is far superior to the multitude of superfluous friendships and
acquaintances. Know this before it’s too late.
Grow within
The emotional quotient is an inner
awareness that connects one with the conscience (though many often fail to
realize the existence of it!) The conscience wants nurturance, concern and
attention. A will to raise the self above the self .To grow. Not with age and
years but in awareness of what ones needs indeed are. When you bare yourself,
you allow people to touch you…
