Doubts, insecurities, questions about own
ability, fear of the world opinion,
societal gossip and dogmas, constantly seeking approval for our actions and
soon we cannot distinguish right from wrong, have lost the ability to take action on our own
and a muddled self emerges in the midst of an even more muddled world. It is a
very familiar scenario that creates a doubt in our mind, so we should remind
ourselves that Start by doing what is necessary. Then what is breaking through barriers, freeing oneself from
discouragement and fear are real everyday challenges, but once overcome it
shows us how to enjoy a permanent sense
of freedom and liberation, and to excel to the heights of our fullest
potential. These days parents don’t
hesitate to spend money on the education of their children. But do they bestow
enough attention on what kind of thoughts and feelings children entertain
during the schooling, what kind of habits they cultivate? Habits are initially
like the flimsy fibres of spider’s web. But as time advances they become as
strong as fetters of steel and hold us within their grip. Just a basic trust in
goodness and a decision to become good are not adequate to make us good or to
be free from all kinds of error. An individual will have gathered the habits,
by the time she/ he is between twenty and thirty years of age, which are
related to intellectual development and professional advancement. It is said
the habits regarding personal hygiene, speech and pronunciation, gesture,
emotional expressions, gait etc are formed even before a person becomes twenty
years old. Having said these habitual ways of people, we feel sometimes that we
always for amusement and feel excited about the fancy parties, longing for
being modernity, as an undercover rebel, lost within ourselves with all those
teen age like drama, are just matter of time and space we try to mesmerize and
keep it as memories later on. Could we young realize how soon we will become
mere walking bundles of habits, we would give more heed to our conduct while in
the plastic stage. We are spinning our own fates, good or evil, it never to be
undone. We seem to think that education is just acquiring the skills of reading
and writing, but if we ponder over the way in which a child learns everything
by imitation. Anything that we learn becomes our wealth, a wealth that cannot
be taken away from us. Whether we learn it in a building called school or in
the school life. To learn something new is a timeless pleasure and a valuable
treasure. And not things that we learn are taught to us, but many things that
we realize we have taught ourselves. So when our parents ask what are we
supposed to do after high school…. We should say I want to be me, who wish to
witness around and do things what is necessary, then what is possible and suddenly I might feel
like I am doing the Impossible.
