PATIENCE AND POWER GO HAND IN HAND

"The greatest power is often simple patience". -E.Joseph Cossman.

Even the most powerful will have to go through situations where they would have to wait, observe and act patiently. And actually, the patience that one builds, feeds into our power, although on the outside it could give an opposite picture. Being powerful does not mean that we are capable enough to achieve just anything using it.

The most powerful run out of steam when they don't exercise patience and restraint.

Many times power is seen as an overt exhibition of our control or hold on people or situations with which we are associated. But for any influence of power to sustain and reap positive results, it has to be coupled with patience, strategy and tact.

THE POWER OF SOLITUDE

"Without great solitude no serious work is possible" - Pablo Picasso.

I found this island in Langkawi a great place, especially because there were very few people around. I could see long stretches of nature in its quiet form with very few humans. I don't get this ambience in a city.

It's in these solitary times that we hit the precious fathomless depths of our thinking and that's when the best of art gets created.

While most of us need a quiet place to focus, some great people have been able to find solitude and concentration while being in the middle of a cacophony. This is super human. The great cricketer Sunil Gavaskar used to mention that he could concentrate for long periods while in the middle of people talking and shouting.

WE NEED TO FIND THEM AND SPEND TIME WITH THEM

Human minds tend to group everything based on appearances and roots of origin for the purposes of primary identification. Many times, beyond the conventional spaces like the family space, the professional space, the social space and so forth, we need to find a space where we can find people who have common goals and interests.

It's but natural that many precious facets of ourselves get wiped out in these conventional spaces that run like conveyor belts, and there would be no way for us to explore into ourselves and find who we are. We need to find that space and that set of people who will understand even our smallest vibrations of passion and potential and we need to spend time with them. In that space we will get to know who we are faster.

GREEN SPACES - AN ARTIST'S PARADISE -1

"To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug" - Heller Keller.

I wish I owned a huge space like this to always sit and write or paint in the midst of nature. But the catch is that we need to step out of these natural entities and frame of mind in the pursuit of filling up our purses

Most part of my two books were written alfresco, especially in green spaces like this, besides while on travel in company transport and public transport vehicles, waiting times in malls, schools, colleges and any other places where something had t be done and I had to wait.

FIXING OUR BOAT

The best way to fix our boat is to figure it out ourselves, in tune with the frequency and rhythm of our lives. While on the shore of the sea of life, the boats of many others will appear in the distance. We can wave to those in them and watch them as they wave back, and get a whimsical pleasure as we get from watching movies.

These could give us ideas to fix and a vicarious satiation of having fixed, but we cannot take their paths. We can even choose to close our eyes to them too, as the vicarious vibrations would be needed only when we yearn for another movie break. And yes, what's life without some of these vibrations of pleasure. But our boat is best when it's in our own hands.
