Upheaval is transient. Walk through it!

By Bamboo In The Wind

Procrastination arrests any sort of action. Commotion prevents clear thinking. Confusion makes it hard to choose the right path. An optical illusion makes us believe what is unreal. A rigid stance misses the point of listening. Stubbornness misses the point of collaboration.

Upheaval is at all levels. Internal and external. Often external ones manifest when we find ourselves unable to deal with internal chaos.

But how does one overcome internal chaos? We are alone in this fight. Others are not bothered. The commotion grows with an increasing feeling of how we are left to our miseries.

The feeling of hopelessness drives us crazy. Fear that we are nearing the end. Imaginary. You need to walk through all this madness. You usually have someone to take you on a ride of comfort and confidence. It's reassuring. But that won't always happen.

There are times when we might be encouraged to walk alone. It might appear rude and careless. But who knows! It might fill you with fear and uncertainty about what traversing the wilderness looks like. Some time into this fearful journey is the beginning of the journey of self-belief.

Upheaval is a temporary state. Recognize it coming. Experience it. Nothing changes as you do!

Begin your move. Before you know it, upheaval drops its guard. It begins to evaporate. Belief emerges. And that is a surprise catch!

Checks and balances!

By Bamboo In The Wind
Defining a good purpose, setting a target goal and getting people working on them is usually not enough! There are too many aspects involved in getting the results we want. For example, there is an aspect of painting the big picture, working on motivation management, productivity tracking, building experimentation labs, and erecting resilient systems that systematize the workflows. Just putting bodies to work and defining milestones rarely achieves the right results. The other aspects that help march towards the milestones in an orderly manner, they are equally important. At the very least, they make objectives widely understandable and results more attainable. The job of a thought leader is to enable progress and enable recovery. Therefore, it is never enough to have just ideas. Those with ideas also have the responsibility to assemble the work environment in such a way as to create situations containing the energy disperses. Energy dispersal from lack of clarity, loss of motivation, ...

The hyacinth at the surface - nectar - just beneath!

By Bamboo In The Wind
The envy of comparison is an unconscious, quietly growing emotion, like water hyacinth spreading unnoticed on a pond's surface. It surrounds the nectar of the water, creating the illusion of poison. The water itself, however, is inherently sweet, with the nectar infused deeply within it. But just cast off the tangled trap of those creeping vines, and the water will reveal its true nature—flowing freely, tirelessly, with a sparkling clarity. Water’s existence, its entire journey, is one of cooperation, of giving endlessly with a pure heart.  Even in the face of numerous obstacles and thorns along its path, water remains undeterred—a divine miracle, no doubt, but one forged through relentless effort. Who notices this journey? Who understands it? Water has no respite—it constantly battles friction and wear. "Why is this thorny life my lot?" It may ask, as feelings of resentment, anger, jealousy, hatred, sorrow, and helplessness arise. Just when it seems trapped, its spirit s...

Adopt beliefs and then adapt them often!

By Bamboo In The Wind
We get fixated in viewing surroundings through a narrow lens of gained experiences. Our beliefs form based on what we make of those experiences. Each experience reinforces to core of thinking we lean for making decisions about our day to day decisions.  On a good day it is not uncommon to witness a formation of a belief! Life events, unexpected outcomes make is revisit the foundations we stand on to make ourselves visible and act. It leads to adaptation of our foundational core that we take for granted. Adaptation of foundational core is vital source of energy and paves a way new experiences that broaden our perspectives. It we feel lost often then it is a sign that foundational core needs adaptation. We must adjust the core enough to get a different view from a different angle For the core to adapt, we must force new experiences. What we know served us well. Until now. We must find a new foundational core to stand on. The one that works for us now. Adopt beliefs that serve our pre...
