You are a writer when you write.
You are a poet, when you poet.
You are a Traveller, when you travel.
You are a Joker, when you joke.
You are a singer, when you sing
You are a professor, when you profess
You are a creator, when you create
You are an artist, when you art
You are a seeker, when you seek
You are a thinker, when you think
You are a sound, when you listen and
You are a wise man, when you realize this!
Just do it - to be it.
It is a simple fact, but can have an enormous impact in life, in everything you do. I would explain a little bit more. But if you have read my previous article, you would understand that it is same as, saying " what you see is not what it is but who you are"
Being Happy
Let's get into details, of the benefits of knowing the fact. I can give you few examples. The other day I went to a daily boring task with my kids. While they were at it, I wanted to be happy. Then I realized, If I wanted to be happy, I am not "Happy". I'm just "want to be happy". And knowing this fact, just made me "Wise". And I simply became "the happy" You can try the trick, but more importantly remember the principle. It is not what is but who you are.
Being a writer
Today, when I started to write, I realized that I wanted to be a writer. I have dreamed of it over and over again. A professional writer. And I realized, the mistake now. It would never make me a writer. Wanting to be a writer would never make me a writer. I am writing just now. See,? I just wrote another sentence. I am already a writer. It makes the task more enjoyable and happier. There is a magical writer, in this consciousness, exact second of this.
That is just to illustrate the fact that, wanting something is going to bring you sadness while, realizing what you are engaged in right now is, what brings happiness.
Deep dive "Just do it - to be it."
How can we put it in more practice?
Let's say you are doing a daunting task, that you do not really want to do. You do not want to write that letter. Open that email or go to that meeting.
Let's imagine that scenario. The meeting is coming up. At 10 o'clock and you are anxious that you have to do a presentation. You are being an introvert, do not like it at all. So, essentially what you are right now is 'Anxious'. And when you realize the fact that you are anxious, you will instead become wise. And anxious will have no place to stay in consciousness. And you even can drink a cup of coffee, to be a cup of coffee instead.
There is an error when I put this thought into words. Did you notice it?
I never said, there is,
You- > anticipate
You-> anxious
You-> wise
You-> a cup of coffee
What you see is not what it is, but who you are.
It is more like,
-> Anticipate
-> Anxious
-> Wise
-> A cup of coffee
As ultimately 'You' are all these things(and not). This is one way to understand truths of nature. Now you will get some ideas about the little scarecrow story, previously I have written.
Essentially, all this is just some practical advice to be more mindful and practice mindfulness with wisdom. Hope you liked it. Connect with the blog for more.
A mountain
Looking at a little mountain
Feeling the breeze
I realize happiness in not somewhere else
It has to be here Now
And I became a mountain.
