The monkey MIND!
Sunday April 06th 2025 Day 23122
Our MIND could turn out to be our worst enemy!!
Any experience could leave an imprint on the MIND and establish deep rooted beliefs and thinking patterns. Many of these could prevent us from being level headed, could become major limiting factors and keep us away from tapping into our fullest potential.
Take the case of a successful entrepreneur. Having been through the break off of one alliance proposal, does it leave that person with very poor trust levels on every subsequent proposal? Does it limit that person’s ability to move forward and embrace matrimony and live life to the fullest?
Take another situation. A person who has parents and family who are very overbearing and hence this person is not able to determine his own way forward. Has too many expectations from family members and hence the person stops thinking boldly for oneself.
How can people realise and become aware that they still have fullest control over their mental faculties and can determine their own paths forward? How can they take their learnings from past experiences, but still retain the ability to navigate their life forward?
Can they realise that they have to keep their own MIND away from monkeying around with their Life!
The week saw us stepping into the new fiscal year FY 2526. The Trump Tariff antics, with reciprocal tariffs on all countries announced on 02 April, are triggering global trade concerns and impacting the stock markets badly. Recession, uncertainty, inflation, and many other major concerns. Got to keep one’s MIND clear of all these global issues and focus on those aspects that are within one’s control. Be sensible with one’s investments, look for opportunities to help others even in this uncertain situation.
Am gearing up this week for a two-day session at Isha to assist an FPO draft its annual business plan. Also speaking at a Dindigul Engineering College to around 500 students at their Intercollegiate symposium. Sharing some thoughts on Life and Career choices, Entrepreneurship and tapping into their fullest potential. An opportunity to impress upon the FPO directors as well as the student community to tap into their fullest potential.
Like any other “muscle”, the MIND too should be trained and perfected. Should be in our fullest control. Wielding a sharp knife while ensuring that its razor-sharp edge does not inflict any injuries on self or others, use it for what you want it to do and not have unintended consequences. Likewise ensuring that one’s MIND is a powerful ally in your LIFE and not hijacking one’s Life journey
Live Life To The Maximum!
