Oh Shut the Hell Up!
I know that is a rude thing to say. But sometimes that is
exactly what you need to tell yourself. More specifically to your brain, to the
part of it that fills up your head with all the things that are not so
important as to take up that much space in there; in your life.
Our mind is a
beautiful and complex creation of nature; oozing with millions of thoughts,
emotions and ideas all the time. It is capable of things that know no boundary
and hence is highly valued. World’s greatest minds have given this world what
not! I have always felt great admiration for it. I believe our brain is divided
into these three parts- strong, neutral and weak. The strong and neutral parts
are good. They are clear on what they want, how to precede, how to take in
things, tackle issues, prioritise and so on. They know usually what’s best for
us and are seldom afraid. They basically help us to be the best we can in every
possible situation of our life. They are like our mentors and so whatever they
create in our head is mostly for our better.
It is the weak part that bothers us the most. Believe me the
good parts will vouch for that. And it happens to be extremely shrewd as well;
it takes over our mind very quickly. It is the part that makes us think about
all the issues that we know are least important and about people that we know
don’t really matter. It makes us think about what others think of us; by others
I am referring to the people who have no value in our life, the kind of people
that instil our minds with negativity and the kind who will always try to pull
us down. It makes us feel gloomy about ourselves and our life by creating a web
of negative thoughts. Thoughts that pull us down, make us fearful and make us
believe that everything in our life has gone wrong, that life has been unfair
to us. This part of our brain makes us weak. And it is this very weakness that
leads us into the realm of depression, setbacks, dejection and
self-underestimation; sometimes sadly into the wretched world of hatred,
betrayal, injustice, war and murder.
This is our very own stress creator. It masters in making us
less worthy of what we are by making us waste our time. Do not let this part
control you. Learn to shut it up! Learn to put it to a rest and then to slowly train
it to become capable of doing worthy thinking. It is surely a very difficult
thing to do. This part of our brain is a big fighter. So we take the lesson of
being a fighter from it to become a better one. That’ll probably be the best
and only worthy lesson it has to offer to you. Think wisely, you are a person
capable of so much more, of doing amazing things for yourself, your family and
the world. So would you just let go of it all by paying heed to those obnoxious
thoughts and there-by becoming your own biggest hindrance to living a life you
truly deserve?
Well, not every thought can be a mark of intelligence but
neither can every thought be worthy of evaluation. And mostly we all know which
thoughts need to be dealt with. So, next time don’t even think twice about
saying “shut up” to them.
Cheers to healthy thinking!
