The cacophony of the voices of my many minds are plainly evident in the body of this blog. Putting a premium on to one's mind, sweeping away the cobwebs of the mind, stoking the inner fires, so on and so forth. There is an unmistakable feeling of familiarity, yet the feeling that I don't even know the stuff that I write about haunts me. Well, that is the basic premise of the concept of nested minds, but to have it proving itself is slightly unnerving! I really am amazed about how things are going, the way my minds seem to be at war with each other. The differences in the quantity and quality of my work is something that has never failed to amaze both my peers and seniors, but what they don't know, but I happen to know is that I myself am equally surprised about my own ways! I might end up finding men in white coats coming to take me away if I ever admit to it (yet that is exactly what I'm doing right now!!!).
Self motivation is by no means easy, and that is the number one reason shrinks and motivational speakers continue to laugh all the way to their respective banks, selling pep talk and motivational tapes!!! I really don't know how much these books, tapes and sessions that come at fancy prices really help people, but it is safe to assume that if all the buyers of such paraphernalia were benefited, there would hardly be an unhappy soul in the world, barring those who haven't had the resources to procure or read of of those books or hear to one of those wonder-tapes!!!!
Fear is one thing that routinely brings people down to the feet and much worse. I find that fear of things that are unfamiliar is one the of the biggest impediments to learning. I feel comfortable innovating new things in fields that I have had good exposure to, but I find myself shrinking away from things which are totally unknown to me. It is an almost paralyzing fear, and the feeling is not one that is something that one can live with. I have taken the first step by taking on one of those fears, by starting to study about some new concept that I have long wanted to learn more about, but have always put it off as it fell into the 'unfamiliar territory'. So, no more getting terrified of new experiences and feelings. I'll update this blog about my new experiences, so stay tuned.
