A Prosperous and Meaningful Life
Living a life of meaning brings great satisfaction and joy to the heart. By the time you understand the true depth and expanse of life, you become capable of looking at it from different perspectives.
A new life begins with novel thought processes which manifest themselves into actions and eventually creations which bring joy to the heart. We interact with different elements and entities of the world we live in. We understand the world through our own different perspectives and outlooks. Our understanding of the world acts as a guiding force on how to go about with our business. If we could grasp the idea of 'anekantvad' it would be easy to understand and thereby conclude that there could be many right ways to look at a particular thing even though they apparently seem contradictory or paradoxical. Looking at things from different angles and perspectives certainly helps us understand our world in better manner. It allows to deepen our knowledge and gives us confidence to deal with the overwhelming complexity and expanse of the universe and life in general. This way we move a step closer to the truth every time we take the approach of anekantwad.
There are many things unknown to us, humans in this world. In fact, there are many things which we do not know about our own inner world. The inner world of mind and spirit is as deep and expansive, if not more, as the vast outer universe we perceive through our senses. The depth of mind and soul cannot be gauged without a great amount of introspection or contemplation. In fact, knowing in totality, the soul, or the world within is believed to be the last frontier of human achievement.
An Open Mind
A certain openness and clear thinking is needed on our part as we go out into the world and try to learn something new. It helps allow positive changes in our lives and enables us to entertain thoughts which may not align with our beliefs or preconceptions. By doing so, the possibility of change increases manifold.
Changes can happen in our beliefs and even our entire outlook towards life and its end goal. It is necessary to let those changes take place. We shouldn't fear the consequences of altering our beliefs which could take place as a result of self-transformation in our inner world. All this can lead us to seeing things in a better way, from a different perspective which could also be true. The overall process and transformation resulting from it eventually brings peace and joy to the heart and soul.
Seed Of Thought
Our desire to create something new acts as the seed which then flourishes into the metaphorical full-fledged tree of fulfilling and satisfying creations; the things we build or create could be anything from works of art, projects, assignments, campaigns, businesses or even our life as a whole. Taking that first step in order to sow the seeds of positivity is important. The next step should be to nurture that tender sapling of ideas into a strong tree of countless branches spreading and expanding in different directions. When a process like this begins, it fills you with the life energy and enthusiasm and gives a sense of hope for the future. A beautiful life of unlimited joy and creativity unfolds as you take efforts to keep your ideas alive and well-nourished.
Nurturing With Passion and Persistence
Every thought we think or hold on to has the potential to manifest itself into reality. In order to manifest them into reality one must nurture such thoughts and ideas with great care and positivity. The persistence and passion we have inside us acts like the oxygen required for our plans, ideas and goals to attain fruition. The duo of passion and persistence when put to use works wonders to achieve great results.
Power of Good Habits
Getting into the habit of repetitively working on positive ideas and thoughts important to gain success in life. When you work on strengthening your good habits consistently, it helps you turn mere ideas into manifestations or concrete things such as actions and creations. In fact, you could incorporate them in your daily routine to see the results; eventually, the activity of habitually thinking positive thoughts can turn into an ongoing process which becomes deep seated into our subconscious mind. Also, the discipline with which we conduct ourselves plays a crucial role in bringing our dreams to life; it offers a strong foundation upon which we can build a great life. However, that seed of thought, that first step is required to start the process of building things. Take that first step into your dream life of success, fulfillment and self-realization!
