Impersonalized power

Physical power and mental power. Mental power controls and holds power over the physical being but I am not here to elaborate on that. You will find it on google, youtube, and many websites. But original content is rare nowadays as the exposure is the same and the medium through which we express is also the same. Yes, it is social media. But here I have collected the original write-ups, tips, personal experiences, writing prompts, and obvious ideas to which we are unintentionally oblivious, which you will not find elsewhere. 

Knowledge is power. There is no doubt about that. You don't need to have a hold over the language, have a precise hold over the people, the content matters not the explicit choice of words. Knowledge is impersonal, and so is this blog. This idea was inspired when I was attending a normalized online class. When a random thought struck me...if the guru themself is selfish how will they share their knowledge? A selfish guru is as good as a selfless businessman, they simply cant prosper. Knowledge has no value, or rather no power if not shared. We all have much power within ourselves to let it all go to waste. So here are some people ready to express themselves :) Some of them are very lengthy but the content is undoubtedly spectacular, so don't just read it, feel it :)

Having a conscious control over your words and actions, and using them to your advantage can put you a step ahead of others. And so I'd like to share some psychological tricks that have helped me a great deal.

Wanna make a lasting first impression?

Compliment someone's eyes when you first meet them; by doing so you're forcing the other person to look at your eyes for a brief moment, making them notice you, when before it could've just been a polite gesture.

Wanna convince someone? Nod your head while maintaining eye contact. They are more likely to accept what you're saying is true.

Wanna persuade someone to do you a favour? Use their name in the middle of the request. It makes them feel acknowledged and they are less likely to disagree.

 

Works every time!

Writing prompt 

“Don't look back”

   “What if I’m looking for you?”

“In this eternity of the creation of which we constitute a minute segment, how can you not expect me to look back and accept that your biological, emotional, spiritual, mental as well as physical existence is not a part of this certain and only cosmos?”

How can you expect me not to wrap my head around the idea that from infinite probabilities, possibilities, and ways in which today could be different - you and I were chosen by destiny to be together?"

"If so, you have given me the chance to wonder about our truth. Am I, really, looking for you? Had I been waiting upon, searching for, and missing your presence my entire life? Or were you there all along, waiting, finding and presenting yourself to me when the right chance arose?"

   "If I indeed choose not to look back, will you be gone? Will you leave me, making me accept the fact that we came in this world alone and we shall depart from it solitarily and unescorted? But what if I choose not to obey you? What if I rebelliously look back, look into your eyes and tell you that I wish to live and leave differently?

   Will you help me change my fate - our fate, by doing something so radically different, so unconventional that even the creators of the Universe, the so-called 'Gods' bow down to us because we bend the reality made by them solely by the power of our faith and our belief in each other?

Tell me, tell me fast, do you wish to accompany me on this journey - do you wish to live the so very drastically different life I just told you about,

Do you want me to look back or… or do you want to accept the mundane fact and reality of the way your life shall be structured and forget everything about me, move on and face the regret of making me not look back, for the rest of your life?"

-Khushi Varma

People in general feel demotivated at certain times in their lives. Well, me too. I concentrate on the 'hope' part. I believe one day I will be free of the problem I now face. That day I will look upon the whole journey and I shall feel it was all worth it. Sometimes certain mishaps need to happen for a better near future.I am certain that you have realized this at some time in your life. Face them bravely, cuz honestly we have no other choice, do we? Hope will pull you along even when you don't want to. So, hope.

 I always felt lethargic to study but the key is to start with a page...then another and soon you find yourself done with the entire chapter! Motivate yourself just to do a page.... our mind gets tricked with the whole thing. It is the same about every task, just start with a small bit and you will never even realize when you reached halfway!

"When do you feel the most yourself"

28. June. 2021

I am truly left in a state of fascination when I reflect upon the pan-dimensional Universe. Of so huge a macrocosm, we are aimless specks of DNA designed to think, to learn, to be.

What is it that makes us, as an entire species significant enough to subsist?

Is it that we train our minds to accept a routine - a so called level of 'normalcy' through every passing day until we fall and become one with the very soil that once gave wings to our quiddity?Or is it that we intelligent formed a link, a continuation - an earth wide chain of knowledge which as a result of a millions of people before us has led to the formation of an ever expanding field of scientific thought and theory?Is it that we were born once, given one life, one family and one opportunity to breathe before losing our consciousness forever or is it how immortal the cycle of re-birth is?There are so many questions that ultimately lead to discovering the working of the Universe, to understand and learn about things that make me forget of my life as a person - be it the day to day trivial happenings or the constant ruminator I have for a mind.

When I think of the greater good, a sea of knowledge so vast that my getting lost in it is rather inconsequential is precisely the moment when I feel the most "myself".

Reading fiction is more enjoyable than watching movies

When one fiction, such as novel or a short story becomes famous, it's content will be immediately used to make a blockbuster or 3D cartoon. So there are a lot of people who love watching movies than reading fiction. But with me reading it brings me a lot of new experience. When you read a novel, you let your imagination work. For instance, when we read a ghost novel, we often imagine about the dark night, bolts and even ghosts. It makes the story more interesting because you are living in your own feeling. It is just like you are living the life of the character in the book you are reading. Last but not the least, reading books and help you write better. I believe that there are still a lot of people who cannot write a coherent essay, a good paragraph to show others what they are really thinking. You can read books more in order to improve your writing skills because it will help you to have better structures, suitable words in different situations to express your feelings and also think more clearly

Life is lived to the fullest from the day we start tackling our problems on our own. That can also be the obstacle of fearlessly walking the first time as a child. But as we grow older the problems become tougher. But these problems in life are sometimes because of our faults whereas some are about the pressure which society imposes upon us. When a child wants to pursue his dream job, many a times he is pressurised by society about being exactly competent at the field which he hates. And that is due to some rules of the society that we are obligated to follow. Hence slowly as a child, we start believing that others are right and we are wrong. This basically messes up with our mental health making us shy, unhappy and low esteemed. Therefore freeing up from those narrow-minded thoughts is never one’s cup of tea. To set free from this entangled net which we all are stuck in I have some of my views that can help.

There is no need to get influenced by the people who don’t accept our opinions or our ways of living life. They simply obligate us to follow their way because either they were pressurised or were comfortable with a simple job with satisfied salary instead of establishing one’s own business or trying some new things in the field of art. You can only live the life to the fullest when you become who you actually are. Because if you don’t sit in the driving seat of your life then someone else will and drive you through such a place where you never wanted to go.

 In life we tend to get more entangled in this net when we are afraid of being criticised. WE just have to remember that criticism will always be a factor in life because an individual can never be always praised or liked. A friend once told me that if people dislike one person then there is also a possibility that some people can like that person too. Hence by not letting that back bitching ruining and disturbing our life we can create wonders with our own capabilities. This ‘fear of criticism’ acts like that black shadow of an umbrella which sucks in all our qualities and expertise towards our interest. And simply leave us with no option other than following paths led by the judgemental people.

The moment you seal over the thoughts what others think and think over what is your perspective over yourself, then that moment changes everything. When you take this decision you have full control over yourselves as it becomes your own responsibility if you fail or succeed. When no one else interferes, criticizes you or pressurizes you with your decision you finally start learning and enjoying the essence of life. In this, you learn, fail, and try and when followed repeatedly you finally rise like a phoenix by making everyone’s jaw drop. You never blame others and nor give credit because the path which you chose is wholly your identity and your own creation.

 Having a fear of speaking in public?

Start talking to yourself by looking at the mirror. This will develop your speaking skills in a way that you are speaking to an audience.

Having trouble talking to someone about your problem or something that you worry about?

Start talking to yourself in such a way that you are having a conversation with someone. This will help you to come out with your problem in a gentle and easy voice and will also help you form possible questions the person in front of you may ask and you might have all answers ready for those questions...

Worked out with me!
