Desire

ITS  funny sometimes how life can be a total bitch at your face, or how sometimes it can actually unfold the answers right before your very eyes. Either way, you are on your way to learn a very good lesson about life. It's like how the artist, Ed Sheeran describes us living our every day under this upper hand. Its as if that very hand is waiting at the side of our beds every morning when we wake up, deciding whether we are heading straight for the washroom to clean up all of the nights' toil or dragging our feet towards the breakfast table. Its as if that same hand is waiting outside our front doors to actually tell us whether we are taking the bus to college or are we going to be late for that important meeting at work. Its as if that very hand waits for us at the parking lot after a long days' labor, deciding if the next stop is the nearest bar or if we are supposed to call it a night.

ITS  scary, to sit and think of the twist and turns of events that unravel at sight. It would have seemed so foolish and inept at that very moment, but somehow makes perfect sense when the dust settles and chatterings subside. Just the other day, I recalled an event that took place about a year ago. It was when my mom and sister were on their way home from Ukraine where they were supposed to take the 7.30pm flight. They were too caught up with the packing and the goodbyes, and missed the flight. Naturally, tantrums were thrown with a mix of Indian handsignals flying out in thin air with fingers pointed to push the blame on the other, not forgetting inflamed faces with striking words, you know, just to keep the ball rolling. As soon as they were done lashing at each other, it finally came to their senses to check on the earliest time for the next flight back to Malaysia. And what do you know, it was only a couple of hours later. The climax of all this mess was when the news aired that the plane they were supposed to be in, had major technical problems which led to a disastorous crash that night.

JUST  like a game of puzzles. The newly bought box looking perfectly wrapped, great as a hand gift. And on the outside its stated that it comes with instructions to help you through the fix, and not suited for children below the age of 3. Little did you know that once you open it, the bits and pieces are practically every where and almost every one of them look alike! You convince yourself you can still solve it using the included instructions and the fact that you can definitely beat a 3 year old kid. Apply that in our daily lives. We see a situation that hits us like a box of puzzles. Well let's be honest with ourselves, we will first, panic like a chicken with its head cut off, and only later when we have pulled ourselves together, will we see the situation that hit us like a box of puzzles.

EVERYTHING  would seem distorted and somehow confusing. You will need some time to gain composure and actually stategise your actions before beginning to do anything. And as you get involved, you get in the game of solving it. As you move along, you start to realise that you seem to be getting yourself into a deeper state of confusion. The more you try fixing the problem and putting the pieces where they should be, doubts arise as to whether you are fixing it the right way. Here is the difference between a game of puzzles and a real life situation - instructions included. Now, you find yourself struggling to find an answer. Its bad enough that you are already in a sticky situation, but to work your way without any guide, that's the straw that broke the camel's back.

WHAT  is really beautiful of this whole predicament is that, the end result will always be what you want it to be. Just like when you have put all the pieces together, its no more a puzzle! It turns out to be a perfect picture, a depict of what you chose in the first place, when you were at the store buying the right box that resonated well with your conciousness. If you chose an image of a woman breastfeeding her child, that is the image you are going to see when you have solved the puzzle. If you chose an image of 2 beasts fighting over a carrion of an animal, that is what you're going to get.

SIMILARLY,  if you want a particular situation to end up with a fight, because that is the only way to solve a problem, in your books, then a fight will have to break out to stop the problem from persisting. If you feel that you are supposed to be in a position to walk away and allow everyone around you to throw taunts and jeers, because that is the way you feel will solve the problem, hence when you do exactly that, the problem will be solved. But, if you truly have faith in standing up for what you believe in, which by making sense of the whole situation and reasoning out without any major conflict, is the only way to solve the problem, then without any doubt the solution is to have a decent and mature conversation getting around the issue.

IT  may seem like perjury to be regurgitating the Law of Attraction from the best seller book, The Secret, but you will be a fool to have not realised it has happened and still is happening, even while you are reading this. And it will continue to manifest as long as our mind is able to create an image in our likeness and our body can feel what pleasures us the most. What's the logic out of this is that, what we think once, that made us feel good or strong in either a good or bad way, will eventually lead us to continue thinking or having that very same image, to acquire that same feeling again. We eventually get addicted to that feeling, so we have a continuous repeatition of that thinking, to feed that addiction of ours. This will eventually lead us to acting it out to finally witness that very feeling in reality. And when that happens, it makes the addiction a concrete history of our thoughts, and that my friend, is how far ones' mind can take you.

IF  you have something lingering in your mind, something that your heart has been desiring for a long time, keep having that thought. You never know, it might just be lurking in a corner, nearer to you than you envisage.

"Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives.” - Robert Collier
