You will definitely make mistakes..
But keep clapping! (In this case, marching)
And keep trying to do it better! :D
Look around and enjoy the scenery
Continue marching. Strive to march even in your sleep. And look around. There are so many things to see.. to hear.. to feel.. waiting for you to enjoy them. And as you march, you see newer and better things. And the rhythm of the marching helps you enjoy them better. Enjoy them. And strive to march better! Remember the boy with the teaspoon learning :)
A good thaniavardhanam makes sense only when you understand the thaalam. And when you do, its simply amazing :D
When things are not the way you want them to be..
Just grin. :D It is very simple to do. You just will your mind to curve your lips upwards.. further up. Great! It makes you feel much better :D
Keep grinning. March with a grin! Be happy. Don’t stop. And don’t even think of walking. :D
One thing at a time.
Your task list should remember everything else for you. So forget about everything else, focus on the task at hand. Set a time when it is due and try to finish it by then. Deadlines are another way to structure your mind and force it to march.
Ideally, all you should care about is the task in hand (and ofcourse make sure everything else is on the task list). Once you achieve this, time will take care of itself. Everything else will take care of itself. Its all about focus! Structured focus! :)
Focus!
It is really stupid if you cant find time to do 20 minutes of breathing everyday! Stop walking and start marching!!! Keep marching and maintain the structure till it becomes a part of you.
On October 12th 2008, someone learned that
“Structure is essential. Your mind likes freedom, but it works but better if that freedom is bound by a structure. Just like music. Just like Shakespearean sonnets.
That structure is provided by regularity. It sets a rhythm on which you can ride. Without the rhythm, what you do is meaningless. Make sure you maintain that rhythm. A simple way to enforce this rhythm is to do a good thing regularly. Every day without fail. Learnings. Kriya. Readings. Whatever it might me.”
When in doubt,
Confirm. Then reconfirm. And then confirm once again to be sure. Never trust the word of a single person. Always check and make sure. And then check again.
The number of things you do dont matter...
What matters is the the number of things you do well. Pay attention to details. If you feel you cannot do something whole-heartedly, dont do it! But once you are in, you HAVE to do it well. Else it doesnt count.
Be very careful..
When you recommend people. Especially when your recommendation counts.
