Living With a Clear Consciousness

How often do your action, reactions and emotions surprise you?

If not often, there are two possibilities. The first is you're an enlightened one who spend decades in meditation, tracing the counters of your own thinking.

The second?

You're not as introspective as you think.

"Of course I got angry when that bus driver smirked at me. That was natural, who wouldn't?"

Well...

A lot of people wouldn't. Including you, had circumstances been slightly different. So why did you react this way to this situation, when other times you wouldn't?

Your consciousness is opaque to you. That's because the vast majority of your mental experience happens outside your awareness. You carry lessons from your childhood that you've long since forgotten, even as they control your actions.

That's why travel broadens your mind. You see how other cultures act and it shines a light onto your programming. Onto things you took for granted - things you assumed were common sense.

It's an excellent start.

But you are more than just your culture.

So much more.

Importance of Taking Risk in Life

Is life devoid of risk? Surely not! Our lives are full of risks of all shapes and sizes. When we go on road we risk getting hit by a vehicle; when we take an examination we risk failing; and when we start a business we risk losing the capital. In fact life is full of risks. Should we completely stop taking any risk? It's like asking should we stop living. Stop giving too much thought to risks.

It's part of the human nature to avoid taking a risk. However, if you dream big then you must be ready to take chances. The human history is full of examples when people took huge risks and got incredible success. If you want to achieve great success then you must be taking big risks too. There is no big gain without big risks. The richest people in the world are mostly businessmen. They take huge risks in starting their ventures. Statistically most businesses fail. However, when a business venture becomes a success it generates a huge amount of money for its owners. Most of us have to fight against the odds and risk big things in order to gain any success.

Not only average people, but even fairly successful ones have to take risks to achieve a bigger success. The world famous animation filmmaker Walt Disney had to put all his money in his dream project Disney World. He also took huge amounts of loan to build the tourist attraction based in Florida in the US. The risk paid him off well and today more than 5 crore people visit Disney World annually, making it one of the world's most popular tourist destinations. He was lucky that he achieved success with the venture. It could have gone the other way and he could have lost all he had earned in his life.

The film industry is full of examples of filmmakers putting all money in a venture and losing big time. The legendary filmmaker Guru Dutt was broke after his film Kaagaz Ke Phool bombed at the box office, while another famous director Raj Kapoor suffered heavy losses when his dream project Mera Naam Joker was a commercial failure. Both were successful filmmakers of their era but lost money in those ventures. However what made them winners was that they kept taking further risks and both made lots of money in their next ventures, Chaudhvin Ka Chand and Bobby respectively.

Several times you have to take risk to get a bigger success even if you are quite comfortable in your life. Rajkumar Hirani was a successful advertisement film maker, running his own advertising studio before 2003. However he wanted to make his mark in the Hindi film industry and took the risk by refusing to take new advertisement projects to focus on his film venture. He kept writing script of a new film while his advertisement film career was going down as a result. It was a risk because he could not have found any producer for his film and there was no guarantee that the film would become a success at the box office, ensuring further work for him. Still, Hirani took the gamble. He looked for a film producer once the script was ready. Luckily he got a producer and his film became a critical and commercial success on its release. The title of the film was Munnabhai M. B. B. S.

How To Have Healthy Relationships

Most of the times we are surrounded by family, relatives and friends. If our relationship with them is not nice we have a recipe for unhappiness. Strained relationships can cause stress. If you are facing stress then you will not be able to focus on your goals. Sorting out differences with relatives and friends is important for making sure that we have no distractions on our path to success.

Our relationships with our spouses can define our happiness in life. In a country like India where divorce is still a taboo, finding a good life partner is very important. Once you get married to a person you are under pressure to maintain a good relationship with the person even if you dislike him or her.

Ego clashes are often reasons behind strained relationships. The reality is that it's not easy to keep your ego in check. If you want to be happy and satisfied in life then you should make some efforts to sort out your relationships with your spouse, family, relatives and friends. You can also learn to give proper personal space to people so that they are comfortable living with you.

You need to communicate frequently with people to avoid any kind of misunderstanding. Bitching about people should be avoided at all costs. It's a better strategy to just talk to the people if you have any issues with them, instead of gossiping behind their back.

There should be regular interaction for a healthy relationship. Many times we are short of time and neglect a relationship. Many relationships become emotional desert land after lack of communication for a long period of time. It's often seen that many relationships go sour simply because people don't interact much. Misunderstanding is also caused by lack of communications.

Many times people tell half-truths to others in an attempt to show themselves in a better light. It can damage a relationship. If you love bitching about a person in absence of him then you are inviting a trouble in the relationship. It will only damage your reputation. Backbiting and gossiping will erode trust of people in you. Don't talk negatively about a person, especially when he is not present there.

Honesty is the best policy in relationships. If you are used to telling lies to people then you will soon find it tough to tell more lies. You will end up finding yourself in a trouble as your lies will be exposed one day and you will lose face.

If you love a person you should not let ego come between you and the person. There is no space for ego in any good relationship. Many times there is a misunderstanding between you and a person, and you don't want to take the first step to clear the misunderstanding due to your ego. It will ultimately hurt and weaken your relationships.

If you have a serious issue with views of a person then you may agree to disagree to save the relationship. If you are not able to adjust to disagreements then it many cause a rift in the relationship. It's better if you just adjust a bit or avoid the topic. We humans are not alike. We all have our own preferences, like and dislikes. So, don't expect everyone to be like us. We should learn to respect our differences.

Many times we judge people and let others know what we feel about that person. It's not fair. To have good relationships with people don't be judgmental. You must accept people the way they are. After all you also want people to accept you the way you are.

No one is perfect. We all have merits and demerits. We should focus on good things in a person. We should ignore demerits, unless they're serious. I don't mean that we should accept a killer or a looter. All I mean is that we should forget and forgive small mistakes and drawbacks of people. We all humans are imperfect animals. We have bad habits like gossiping, passing judgement and backbiting. If we see others displaying these characteristics we should forgive them as these habits come natural to most people.

Many times relationships are damaged if you become too possessive. Learn to give a personal space to your friend, spouse or relatives. They are also humans and they deserve personal space the way we need it. Being possessive can be harmful for a relationship.
