Why Worrying: Seek Solutions, Take Action.

Snowballing of Worries.

Worries, if left unaddressed or staved off for long time, begin to snowball and create troubles in our psycho- physical world.

It is very obvious then that your continuous brooding over your worries will drain your energy and that you are sometimes irritable. It is no wonder then that, you will feel discontented with some areas of your personal and professional life. Even you may get pushed to an extreme where you may turn clueless about what you want and why you fail to achieve your goals. Worries generate troubles which may further develop into crisis.

Types Of Troubles.

Broadly speaking, troubles may be categorised in two groups:

Some troubles are inherited, and;

Some others, which are self created due to our indifference towards our priorities.

Troubles create physical, mental and emotional bottlenecks in life resulting in complete blockade to new things in your physical, mental and emotional ecosystem. Once you remove these bottlenecks; you free up your energy and create space for new things to happen and for new dreams to see.

Prepare The List Of Troubles.

What is required then is to identify and mark the impediments, and, eliminate them by adopting suitable specific measures.

First make a list of troubles and bottlenecks on a sheet of paper.

Shortlist those troubles which need to be tackled on urgent basis.

Work out a comprehensive plan of action including necessary sub plans and related steps.

Since no plan is perfect, hence make your plan on trial and error method.

The plan should never be lengthy and messy.

Activate your plan immediately.

Adopting pro active approach towards your impediments is always preferred. Because you take an active role in dealing with something, before it urgently needs to be taken care of.

Any action is better than no action. If you start activating your plan, two things may happen. Either you will get success, or you have a lesson. But because you have started early, you have sufficient time to learn and move on by restructuring your plan.

As you resolve a small portion of a big problem, you have a relaxed feel of a lightened burden. A sense of lightness will prevail and you will feel courage and excitement to handle your next barrier.

After resolving each small part of a big problem, you must write your experiences in your diary. This will act as a guide lamp, that will always inspire and encourage you.

Someone has rightly said,” Running away from a problem only increases the distance from the solution.”

What Is Difference Between knowledge And Wisdom?

Now, for me in my forties, I feel no compunction in admitting that, until recently I was in some kind of mess. Although this mess, if you hear for once, will find quite insignificant. However it proved instrumental for me in knowing the life lessons and life skills. There was constant tug of war going inside me on the issue that – are the knowledge and the wisdom equivalent or different?

My surprise.

Often, I got surprised whenever I discovered that a person whom I rated average or even below ( on the basis of the education level and the unimpressive background he had), was producing results that were unbelievable. Later realization dawned upon me that all this was possible due to presence of’ ‘wisdom element’ in humans. Power of wisdom always supersedes the ‘knowledge element’ in human beings. Gradually I started to understand the underlying meanings of various related phrases and sayings such as – ‘smart work Vs hard work‘ , ‘intelligent guess’ , ‘Save the values and change the rules‘ , etc.

Meaning of wisdom.

Rainy season sets on time in certain month of each year, is an information or knowledge. Getting our roofs repaired before onset of rainy season, is wisdom. So a feel of right application of acquired knowledge at right time is wisdom. Wisdom is the name of ability to discern and judge that which aspects of the acquired knowledge are applicable to your situation.

Wisdom – A true guide.

Wisdom guides you to use a knowledge properly and in right time. It also cautions you against any possible misuse of knowledge.

Here I remember an old Sanskrit story, which I gathered from my son’s 7th class story book. Title of this story was –‘ Vidyayah Buddhiruttama’ , means , wisdom is greater than learning.

In this story there are four disciples studying in a Gurukul (ancient form of educational institution in India). Three of them were expert in their textual knowledge but totally divorced from wisdom. The fourth was opposite. He was wise but lacked textual knowledge. A situation develops where the knowledge rich three disciples infuse life in carcass of a dead lion without judging its repercussions. On the other hand the fourth disciple sensed the possible repercussion (of being killed and eaten by the live lion) of this act , and saves his life by climbing a nearby tree. All three knowledge rich disciples lost their lives by their scholarly but foolish act!

Wisdom at micro level.

One should remain awakened enough to care for wiseful approach through out their journey.

Taking decision to join a particular coaching to assure a seat in medical entrance exam is surely an wise step. But it just one wise step. A series of many such wiseful steps one has to think of during his course of preparation. It is not all about how you work hard, but is about how you manage your resource ,time, and mind to work together for better output.

Hence only when hard work is groomed in to smart work, the success results.
