A mind without fear
In Motivational, Official Blog, Workplace
The true freedom lies when the mind is without fear. If a mind is without fear the barriers in the way won’t matter. The true inspiration of heart lies with the mind free from any compulsion. People should not get tired of working or become lazy to ignore their duties. Discipline is an essential element of freedom, without which it leads to chaos and disorders.
Our mind is a funny thing. On the one hand, it’s awesome. But on the other, it can pulverize us more quickly and ruthlessly than anything else.
Our mind is inherently scared. That’s its job, to be cautious—to keep us alive, to have us cross roads safely and not get eaten by a lion. But left unchecked, it can become paralyzed with fear and meaner than a cornered crocodile.
The mind’s tendency to want to control is so strong and so habitual that we often don’t realize when it tries to push our inner wisdom and natural sense of ease and love aside.
The bad news is there is no book or course that will change the nature of our mind. The good news is that we don’t have to change it. The problem isn’t our mind but how we use it. Your mind wants facts. It likes making calculations, running the odds.
I thought there were rules more important than the deep desire not to do something. Rules like be a good friend, be a good student, go to lots of parties. Your mind doesn’t realize that saying “no†isn’t a big deal or even a medium deal. Or that your intuition is where wisdom lies.
The need for Logical Thinking and Reasoning
The reasoning is thinking enlightened by logic. It can be defined more broadly so that it becomes equivalent to problem-solving or critical thinking, but it becomes a special kind of thinking worth separate discussion only when the logical component is stressed. Thus intuitive, imaginative, and trial-and-error thinking is eliminated, no matter how excellent the outcome of such activities may be. Reasoning or logical thinking is a much-wanted quality if we are to achieve something worthwhile overcoming the narrowness of our thoughts. Superstitious beliefs and dead habits are detrimental to progress. These pull down the creativity and enthusiasm which are necessary for a breakthrough invention or discovery.
Logic is a social invention, but it too has a long history of progressive refinement and transmission from one generation to the next, along with such cultural acquisitions as language and clothing. Hence, the reasoning that occurs today can be considered an adaptive natural function operating with cultural products that have been developed to fit the minds that use them
Freedom from Bondage of Prejudice
One needs to free himself from the prejudices which are like deserts that can dry up any stream of clear thoughts. Achieving something extraordinary or unusual requires broadening the narrowness of the mind. Rational thinking should guide the thoughts, and not age-old superstitions. Old and baseless beliefs should be scrutinized with the help of logic and rational thinking. Acquiring a scientific temper helps in getting rid of many superstitious beliefs. Many of these beliefs are unscientific and these divide the humanity instead of uniting them. It takes a lot of courage and initiative to stand up against the prejudices in society and to work for the upliftment of those affected by it. Despite these odds, being free also means bringing freedom to others. There are ample examples of those, including that of Mahatma Gandhi in South Africa and India, that unless a life free from all evils exists, people cannot enjoy their freedom. To enable others to have freedom, one needs to be fearless, truthful, and broad-minded. The faith in self can help you to get rid of those thoughts. Break your barriers.
‘Embrace the struggle and let it make you stronger, it won’t last forever’
Stop Being Judgmental
An open-hearted person frees himself from the narrow confines of ascribing motives to other’s action. We ourselves are responsible for creating our own destiny. Making others responsible for our shortcomings and failures means we are still under the influence of being controlled by others. Real freedom means being able to understand that no one can put us down, and it is up to us to make the best of the situation and life. No need to judge anybody. Be curious, not judgmental. Judging someone doesn’t define who they are. It defines who you are. You can’t judge someone’s story by the chapter you walk in. Every single soul in on the planet has a story. Don’t judge before you truly know their story. The truth might surprise you. It is unethical to judge someone’s choices without understanding their reasons.
‘The strongest person is not those who show their strength in front of the world, but those who fight and win battles those others do not know anything about.’
Freedom symbolizes the ultimate in the evolution of human thought free from any oppression or duress. It is a state of mind where one is free from any pressure to speak what he believes, his thoughts. Freedom is the most enchanting feeling in the world.
Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore wrote the poem “Where the mind is without fear and the held is held high’’ in the 20th century. It’s a prayer to the almighty for granting freedom to humanity from obsession.
Optimism is a mental attitude reflecting a belief or hope that the outcome of some specific endeavor or outcomes in general, will be positive, favorable, and desirable. It is the feeling of being hopeful. A positive mind full of hope can change the course of time. All you have to do is believe in yourself.
Harness the power of positive mental states. Positive vibes are like the sails of the sailboat. They propel you towards your goals. They are the fuel to your efforts. It acts the way a phoenix rise from the ashes. No matter how hard the challenge is, no matter how broken you are, no matter how bad the competition is.. Be optimistic!!.
If you believe in yourself you will be unstoppable. I personally feel the best way to gain self-confidence is to do what you are afraid to do. Don’t think you are inferior. Don’t compare yourself with anyone. Everyone has their own individual qualities. There is no comparison between the sun and the moon, they both shine when it’s their time. A strong positive self-image is the best possible preparation for being successful. Be who you are. Never ever doubt your worth!!
“A tiger doesn’t lose sleep over the opinion of the sheep.†So be the tiger. Have a confidence that you can do everything on your own. Be independent!! Don’t bother what others think of you. If you believe what you are doing is right, then just keep going. Embrace yourself.
Optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive good things will happen to you. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try one more time. Trust me every difficulty you face is an opportunity. It just depends how you react to it. Consider how you could leverage your strengths and apply lessons from past successes and experience.
The word logic is derived from a Greek word “Logos†meaning study reason or discourse. Thinking logically means having justification for every possible reason for every step or decision you will make. Logical decision making is done the basis of facts with suitable reasoning rather than emotions. It is the process of making strategies with logic and executing them on the based plan. It is a process of being smart and thinking creatively. You should justify your thoughts with logic and enlighten your team. You should justify the strategies, actions, and decisions based on the facts you gather. The logic can help you to get a better understanding of any problem or situation. The logic is the science and art of correct thinking. The reasoning is thinking, speaking about something in rational and logical ways. It involves thinking and a thorough analysis of the problem. Logical thinking focuses on the improvement in the analytical skills. Analytical skill helps to do a thorough analysis of any problem or situation.
You must never lose touch with your inner stillness. To be sound and logical Eckhart Tolle said “When you lose touch with your inner stillness, you lose touch within yourself you lose in the world. Your innermost sense of self, of who you are is inseparable from stillness. I am that is deeper than your name and form.â€
Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they are yours. Pushing past your limits means taking on newer, progressively harder challenges. If you’re not challenging yourself to do bigger and better things on a regular basis, you’re only working within the confines of what you already can do. That’s a sure-fire way to stay exactly where you are and make little to no progress. Just that little bit of support encouraging you to keep going in the face of resistance can mean so much. Having someone on your side can counter-balance the negative thinking you might have. They can tell you to do more and push you into doing things outside of your comfort zone.
The more complex story reinforces that ‘’everyone on a team can be a leader’’. The most successful teams create chain reactions of leadership. Adaptation triggers long chains of further adaptations that ultimately solve seemingly impossible problems. Everyone has their different ways of doing this, whether it’s through rewards, allowing more freedom within job roles or getting stuck into the job alongside your employees. Each approach works differently for everyone, but each type of leader has taken time to figure out their style.
Courage is a fickle thing, but incredibly important in a great leader. A leader needs to be able to stand alone, and stand up for what they believe in. Having the courage to do what you believe will work is sometimes one of the hardest things to do. With courage also come determination and patience – the ability to hold firm and not succumb to negativity or the pressure to crumble, and the patience to keep going along a difficult road until they reach the end with their head held high, no matter what the outcome. You should be dedicated in what you believe. A leader is supposed to motivate his followers in a positive direction with a healthy mindset. Always remember that Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it’s the courage to continue pushing that counts. Courage is not having the strength to go on it is going on when you don’t have the strength. Courage is very important factor in leadership. It’s the will to stand against the tide, when the wind is against you and you have to sail in the opposite direction. A leader inspires his people to do the same. Always remember that fear is a reaction and courage is a decision. A great leader knows it and execute when needed. It is always easy to stand in a crowd but it takes courage to stand alone. If you overcome that stage the crowd will follow you eventually.
