Dear Friends, I have been feeling strange for couple of days . I am not sure how would I be able to put it down in words. The most intricate and enigmatic affair in ones life is his/her emotional state of mind and to express them is even harder task. As I have started this blog to communicate my mind and share it with my friends and also to get their experiences .
I toil hard everyday to get things done in my household, even then there are things every day which are not addressed or neglected. During the day, my mind is occupied with some or the other thing if I am cooking, my mind is with Advaya {my son}, When I am feeding him, my mind is in hurry of something may be doing the dishes. When I doing the dishes, my mind wants to run to TV. This dissociation with the work of mind, takes out the efficiency in me and which is a frustrating thing .Anyways, when I am almost done with all the work that I have designated my self in the span of one day, officially I am done for the day,I have nothing in my list to do and still have time, my mind doesn't want to take rest, it is still running here and there, I am not able to convince him that I have done every thing needed now I can do whatever I like. It does not listen to me at all. and then I sit in front of computer and kill my time watching things I really don't want to. Basically, I am in hurry of something, or I want to finish something which I am not able to do or may be not efficiently doing it. There is something wrong because even when I am sleeping my mind is not at rest .As a result when I get up in the morning I am not fresh ,I am irritated and tired although I have been sleeping for 7-8 hours.
I believe I have lost the sync or may be something else. Its Important to give vent to my feelings. As we don't have much friends here, writing is the easiest ,the most non-bothering and the most refreshing, act for me .So here I am .Hope to hear from you.
Thanks

ReplyDeleteTitle: Work and It's Secret. He mentions one basic principle “Give as much attention to the means as to the ends."
One can learn no of lessons from this principle. Means are the causes and Ends are effect. A desired effect is possible only with the appropriate cause in place.
It is easier said than done. But one can keep referring to this again and again and train one self to enjoy the MEANS ( or current state of work one is in). Once this habit develops, one can concentrate on choosing effective and efficient means. But most important, Love what you do ( reference Blackberry punch line).
Thanks for the comments. Your comment reminds me of a saying from "Bharitya Darshan" Which talks about Sadhya{goal} and the Sadhan {the means}.The appropriateness of Sadhan is the most important thing. I like the way you interpreted the word Means. Its so true that I should love what I do. And there are things which one should practice to make life better.
