"There are two ways of spreading light : to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it" - Edith Wharton.
In this complex world, driven by multitude of choices, dynamic decisions, competitive ways and conflicting ideals, it is easy to be led astray. Those moments, we seek to reduce the dissonance and gain control of ourselves to progress.
There are interesting ways in which great individuals achieve this. Some techniques are introspection , mentoring, discourse, prayer. Essentially, we all reach out to our basic value systems and assess what we truly cherish. In order to do so, we define or articulate some fundamental, yet abstract terms such as success, happiness, life etc.
Now, this is a task oriented article for my dear readers :
1. List out all the abstract terms which occurs to you. A personal journal and a pen is most handy.
2. Define each of these terms in your own words or expressions.
3. This is an optional step : share your ideals with your close friends and family and learn from each other. I may be one them :-)
You will be amazed by the revelation of your thoughts and ideas and also of your peers.
Hope this exercise connects you - with self and the world.
Awaiting inspiration from great minds..........
