              ‘’ One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.’’

                                                                                -OLD PROVERB

 

Perspective determines our attitude and altitude in life.

Of course your talent,commitment,and circumstance too play a huge role,but we hear of so many cases of non achiever’s talent,and non success even though favourably circumstanced that one begins to think that these are necessary but not sufficient conditions.RESILIENCE,especially in face of adversity is the only attribute that stands as a sufficient condtion.But that may be linked to perspective as well.Let us see how perspective links with perception which in turn determines by and large how we lead our lives.

MIND 👉 PERCEPTION {Experiences,Socialization,Culture,Education  

etc. interacting with environment} 👉OUR WORLD VIEW

Mental conditioning (Pavlov) compels learned reaction patterns.Self deception is possible thus.So is the truth of experiments like placebo effect-we literally create the world we believe in, at times.Over time,this becomes so ingrained in us that it becomes part of the ,what Freud called,subconscious and appears to us as self evident truth.No wonder people don’t change.Disturbance ,ironically,is more of mind than emotion.That leads to predetermined ,rote reactions,or convulted ones,divorced from reality.Dangers of half knowledge are more legion than those of ignorance.

That is where techniques such as MINDFULNESS become important.To me the concept of STITHPRAGYA ,however is the ultimate.[Look my earlier blog:WHY MINDFULNESS FAILS? for a detailed discussion].

So,harness the power of your mind.Command it and not be led by it.Salvation begins thus.
