Source of Creativity..

Creativity is an amazing quality. It is not easy to find it around. Most creative people are really passionate about creating something new. Their mind will be hungry and and will be craving for something new every minute. Though I really get sudden shocks of inspiration by looking at creative inventions around I never been found being really 'passionate' towards creativity. But this fact does not decline the bigger fact that I have traces of creativity in me (yes, consider it as bragging). with few exceptions my creative drive was not from the passion towards it but from a remotely related word - Laziness. One might deny it. But there are instances in my life where Shear laziness had made my mind to think (Luckly, was not lazy towards thinking) of doing the same thing in different ways..

So it wont be wrong to say..

"Creativity will certainly be there where there is intense Passion,
But it can also survive and thrive where there is utter Laziness

Problem Vs Challenge - The fight is on..

The topic of looking at a situation as a problem or as a challenge has inspired me so much that I could think about few new lines on the same. May be this was fueled my the situation I find myself in. This is ..
A sitation where I need to climb a steep mountain,
A situation where my past experience is literally of no use,
A situation my weaknesses are left completely exposed,
A situation where I find myself alone..

But unfortunately I still continue to view this situation as a problem and not as a challenge, at least for now..
But I can really see that the difference in the two 'me' who are fighting each other..
The present Me (Unfortunately) Vs the future Me (surely)..



"When one continuously tries to escape it, the other keeps the attack on;
One can only see the large mountain to climb, the other imagine how it will be to be there on the peak;
One is always full of fear, the other is brimming with energy;
And at the end when the one 'sees it off', the other claims Victory"

New Life..

Often i have stumbled upon two very distinct kind of people.
where one views every obstrucle, stop, set back as a 'problem' and approaches it with an aim to get rid of it, an approach where means never matter. More often then not such an experience is a painful one.
But there is other set people who dont know what is a 'Problem' as they call each such occasion as a 'Challenge' and I cant explain how profound the difference is..


"In Life if we start replacing the word 'Problem' with the word 'Challenge'
Sooner than later Life will be a completely new and highly fulfilling experience.."

Philosophy..

About 5-6 years back my life was nothing but about survival, just like the animals in the jungle or the street side begger. I had to pass my exams, score good marks. secure a good job and so on..
Once I got all these that I wanted and craving for my survival instinct faded and mind started to become restless as it got more and more rest. There there started a strong inclination towards philosophy, philosophy of our existance, the way we live. This interest of mine made me stumble upto wording and speeches of one Mr.J Krishnamurti. I was so engrossed in his thoughts and thinking pattern to such an extent that all of what I did and what I saw became minutely insignificant. There was a huge change in the way I saw the same things. His teaching was too profound and yet so very simple. I read his books to such an extent that no other books could pull my interest beyond its index page. But after 2-3 years of reading what our JK says I can only say following line..

"Often Philosophy is the simplest of logic that is impossible to follow.."
