We go about trying to figure out new ways newer means to solve our lives troubles.. whilst the answers are there right in front of us and for so long. In the humdrum of our busy lives and the unyielding wont of complicating things we simply overlook what's been right there .. right there in front of us.. as if waiting patiently..standing cross legged with back resting against the wall.. with knowledge that we'll come around once we have had our little adventures.
And I find this thought so peaceful. That it has been right there. Positive thinking didn't give up on me because I had begun to fear the worst. It didn't stop working for me. It waited. And now that lives problems are getting murkier.. when people are changing along with my priorities.. it's the simple thinking and the clichés that are sticking with me.. holding out for me.. giving me peace and comfort and the ability to move forward!
In line comes the KISS formula... which comes as a breath of fresh air because every once in a while we have to be reminded .. reminded to KIS,S!
I so want to write more.. nothing makes me feel happier than coming here to my hideout in the blogosphere and let the thoughts roll out...am busy these days but would try best to keep comin!
Love, Neha
Th cliches never worked for me. I have hated "positive thinking" as in past and as I do now. The conclusion I have come to is if thoughts like "Positive Thinking" come to you from your own life's experience then they are imbibed deep and practical. But if you pick these clichéd thought from hearsay or pop literature chances are you would fail them and they would fail you. In short experience is greater than knowledge.
ReplyDeletebtw what is KISS formula
:) u're right..and of course my coming back to the cliches or to put it better, acknowledging them NOW is more about learning from past experiences than about following some popular notion just because everyone else is. THAT, i'd never do. And you are absolutely right in saying that experience is greater than knowledge..its also more personal. I always knew that things like thinking positive are helpful.. but now i know that we'd better think positive-- not that we're gonna change wat is to happen, cz what has to happen will happen anyway...by no means i tell myself that all my worries are gonna vanish magically if i think positive.. it is more like crossing the bridge when one comes to it. Worrying is a catalyst when the time is right but if one worries all the time.. it is more of a chronic illness or habit which positive thinking should take care of .. for the present.
ReplyDeleteI have gone back to the cliches only because they are cryptic.. only when you've come around can you decipher what rests beneath.
KISS formula.. a friend reminded it to me.. its one of those smart things :P its an acronym for "Keep It Simple, Stupid"..kinda like a wake up call!
