MAINTAINING FOCUS
Importance of Focus
When we think of word focus , the immediate image which flashes into mind is of a table – Lamp. In Table Lamp houses a Bulb. A bulb , without the Table Lamp Cap spreads out light in all directions. What does the lamp shed does ? It actually manages the light. It gathers all the light going astray and directs it to the object , say the book. This increases the availability of light for reading.
Similary , it applies to our thoughts too. What happens from Morning to Night , from getting up to retiring, just try to visualize. We get up with a beautiful , fertile mind , with a happy mood in the morning. We plan our daily schedule. We decide to implement certain tasks . Then we take breakfast & leave for work. Slowly , the day starts coming up and pressures start to build up. Phone calls start coming , Wife or husband asks 100questions , Car window not opening, traffic jammed , Boss expecting you to be in time , Rains disturbing the whole schedule , 100s & 1000s of such things come up one by one.
AND …..
I forget what I had decided. I lose the sight of my tasks , intentions , goals. What happens here is :the thoughts start to flow astray , my actions , without direction. I tend to dwell upon certain thoughts which do not contribute to my plan. I completely lose myself in useless action. What to do ?
I just sit quiet , irrespective of whatever situation , for 10-15 minutes , with my cellphone switched off . I close my eyes , close the room door . I avoid making any plans , any decision making , if not wholly , but for these 15 minutes. These 15 minutes , I am nobody’s father , wife , husband. Let me be free ….. , free ….. , free.
Doing this exercise thrice a day , will take up your valuable time ? Not at all. You will come to know , when you do this for a week. The immediate consequence you observe is a tremendous energetic feeling , to take up task in hand.
Again you will be back to your work with a lot of FOCUSSED mind.

About Being Judgemental
Every day , every Hour , Every 5-10 minutes , we come in contact with various people , our own family members , friends , business contacts , friends , relatives , known , unknown , competitors , rivals , in-laws , the list is truly end-less.
What happens when one human being get connected to the other. Let me talk about me – myself. When I meet anybody – I immediately relate his face , his voice , his outlook , appearance to some images stored in my mind-memory. I try to find out which of my experience matches or near matches to his voice / looks , way of talking etc etc. Once I get a best possible match , I label him : This fellow is like this , that , and what happens further is that I DECIDE my actions , I plan my behaviour accordingly.
And this whole thing happens in what time ? In some seconds.
But , there is a bad news . Whatever I have thought about him can be entirely untrue , it can all go against my perceptions. So , what should I do , rather what I do ?- I have first decided to become non judgemental about anybody. How to do this. I do not ask him about his native place , where he belongs , as far as possible I even try not to know his surname , his caste etc. This stops my mind from further enquirying about the data stored in my memory bank & keeps my mind free from decision making.
In a fraction of a second , we make millions of decisions. Let the mind stop from it for some time!
LET US BE NOT JUDGEMENTAL!

Life Flows !
Truly ! As we are living our day-to-day lives , we are faced with various situations. Every human being has a different reaction to a similar kind of situation. But it's absolutely obvious , isn't it so ?
Since we are Human Beings , it's absolutely okay to be human. To be human , is to have differences in opinion. So , when we are confronted with situations , where the opposite person does not agree to my opinion , don't try to overrule , instead , just accpet in your heart , that it's perfectly alright for him or her to have a difference of opinion.
Life is very fluid. It goes on , and on and on. Rather ...... it flows on & on & on
We can't change the happenings , but if i let myself soak into the situation , better are the chances of me , not to be drawn into my miseries , isn't it ?
