Life
is a game of perception, it
is well played by people and sometimes you enter into chakravyuh of illness of mind-set
of people which is very difficult to get out of it.
Do you think, people really matters in our life?
I take it insane, when your worth is
based on how people perceive you and suddenly how you present yourself becomes
very important.
People don’t have any idea, what you have
done and what you have gone through or what you can do, people will judge you
based on your present scenario. I learnt one important life time lesson “Life
is a game with no rules”. But there are cheat sheets. And there are winners and
there are losers, winners are who are fit for survive and who really know how
to live, laugh and lead even get out of the insane of chakravyuh. And it really
is all about how you play the game. Some are born with a natural ability of
understanding life and how to work the “system.” Others fall behind and never
catch up that’s why they fall in the trap of chakravyuh.
You don’t need any brilliant strategy
or talent to become successful in life or you don’t need to be a genius to be a
millionaire, you just need to know how to play the game. The best players in
Monopoly weren’t the ones who started out rich, they were the ones who figured
out the game before you did and who knows how to win over people not win over
the any race, as in present world PEOPLE ARE THE LOTTERY NOT ANY GAME. There’s
something to be said about a man who doesn’t finish college but ends up a
multi-millionaire. Because life isn’t about grades and academia, it’s how you
apply yourself in the real world. And if you are savvy enough, you too could bulls*t
your way to the top.
So what actually make people fall in trap or
how people fall in the trap of MIND GAME-?
Mind game or the trap of insane, how you get out of it
as it has huge effect in your present life even it affects your success life too
, it has power to ruin your entire career as well as dream too. Sometimes you feel, you’re
hopeless, useless, burdensome, even you didn’t do anything wrong, even
everything seems perfect and right in your perspective. You start losing your self-worth
and you lost your faith on yourself that “Nothing will ever go well,
everyone is always better than you, you’ll never be perfect”.
You want to be
liked, but you’re unlovable, and a failure at life.
Doesn’t
it Sound familiar to you (I am talking about those who are facing same
situation)?
Mental
traps serve as the rusty cogs that continue the mechanic cycles of pain and hopelessness. In many
instances, they are so deeply ingrained in the mind, that the victim lives
completely oblivious of their existence, they feel like lost in life even
sometimes they feel like their life is worthless.
Living
in the world of mental traps is like living a lie. Your
perception is tainted with a melancholy negativity that brings forth absurd,
unrealistic, and untruthful thoughts.
But
to overcome this, constant and vigilant mindfulness and introspection must be applied.
To do that however, we must become aware of what these traps are.
1.
Assumptions
This is the biggest trap as here you
assume something is true based on what you think is true, without
proof. Assumptions can be about others and yourself.
Why it ruins/affects your life: You create a lot of
unnecessary emotional and mental pain for yourself.
Especially if you assume the worst. Assumptions lead you to making false
judgement’s about others. This can harm and even destroy
relationships with the people you care about.
How to keep
yourself away from this – Awareness , believe when you see something
authentic and judge that vividly , mental
attachment first then emotional attachment.
2. Beliefs
Believes
can ruin your life in various ways, especially fake believes about sometimes,
which comes in the form of fake judgement .Mental beliefs are very extremist in
nature. The mental terminology therefore is very strong, just as
beliefs are. Like all
mental traps, beliefs are unconsciously held. They can be so deep rooted that
they evade the conscious mind
Why it ruins your life: Beliefs are very blinding by nature. If they’re false they
can affect you profoundly, as they’re so deeply held. Beliefs have a
nasty way of crippling you with fear if you have enough
conviction. Your life, therefore, may be very limited and restricted
resulting in a sad, half-lived existence.
How to keep
yourself away from this – self believe is much important, don’t get into the
trap of others believes, it may confuse your self-existence too.
3. Comparisons
This
is the worst way to get into a trap, this can be between you and others, and
sometimes it is good and sometimes it also bad in different way. Comparisons can also be between
ourselves and our ideals of what should be
like how I was before and what I am now. Dissatisfaction is
what drives comparison and sometimes people compare you to show themselves above
than you and make you feel lower. We all want to be better, more perfect,
and ideal and excel others that’s why we fall in this trap easily and quickly. Comparison
also drives competition. We use other people and our ideals as a
yardstick of success.
Why
it ruins your life: Making comparisons
breeds a lot of jealousy and envy. It
also results in anger, pain and frustration. This puts a strain on relationships
with others, and frequently destroys friendships.
How to keep
yourself away from this – compare your past with present, take any ideal
personality like swami Vivekananda or A.P.J Abdul kalam etc. and follow their
foot print.
4. Desires
Desire leads to take wrong steps most
often ,desire is to want something you don’t have , this comes from comparison
as well as self believes. We do this because we’re discontent,
feeling as though we’re lacking. We don’t have enough.
Why it ruins your
life: The basic principle
of Buddhist thought is that desire equals pain. Often, desire
results in lust, and lust results in idolization and obsession.
The result is often pain. Think about the crimes in the world –
thefts, murders, rapes, adulteries. These all result from desire.
When we desire what we can’t have, the result is pain.
How to keep
yourself away from this – Desire to have good things in your life which
money can’t buy like love and emotions.
5.
Expectations
Expectation
is the mother of all sorrows, it also a bigger part of assumption too -To
expect is to have the preconceived idea that something should happen or will happen. Expectations are usually
created by rigid minds with mental structures that when challenged,
crumble, putting the mind in turmoil. Expectations stem from misguided
certainty, and these are symptoms of security seeking behaviour
Why it ruins your life: Expecting certain behaviours
from other people usually results in disappointment, confusion, frustration and anger. This can cause strain
on relationships. On the other hand, expecting things from yourself can
create many issues. Your expectations become self-fulfilling
prophecies. They manipulate the outcome of a situation by predetermining whether it will be good or bad.
e.g. If you expect to be tired, 99.9% of the time you will be.
This can have an immensely negative impact on your life when your mind is
already biased against you, or something else.
How to keep
yourself away from this – Never expect anything from anyone, yes! You can
expect for good outcome as well as life but give your best sort and rest keep up
to the God.
6. Ideals
This
is the most important things, which confuse our mind, where we should go –
towards perfection or where majority are going. This is the perfect outcome, object, situation or person
generated by the mind. Ideals are a symptom of perfectionism.
Furthermore, they are usually set up as unrealistic goals, which are
almost always impossible to live up to. But sometimes it’s better to be ideal
than be a blind followers.
Why
it ruins your life: Because ideals are hard to achieve, mental and
emotional frustration frequently occurs. Ideals cause you to live under
immense pressure, creating a lot of anxiety.
When disparity is seen between the ideal and reality, dissatisfaction and pain almost always result.
The perfectionist-idealist is often a hard person to please, and an even
harder person to live with. Ideals therefore negatively impact
relationships.
How to keep
yourself away from this – Be an idealistic but as per the present world. I am
a kind of girl for whom it’s a difficult decision to choose which is best, as I
always go with perfection when it comes to work or anything.
About me –
There was a time I was quite immature
that’s why I did many stupid mistakes like I make my life OPEN for all, but now
I am wise still I fall in trap due to my past mistakes , that’s why now I promise to myself that -Never ever repeat the same mistake what I did once , I realize the value
of personal life and what should I say and what I should not , what should I write
in blog and what I should not.
I am not worry for anything but when it
ruin my life identity, its make me hopeless and helpless too.
I am Indian as well as I am from Odisha
(Balasore) , 3 hours distance from Kolkata and 3 hours distance from
Bhubaneswar , it is in boarder of both west bangle and Odisha , still I consider
myself as a odiya as my mother tongue as well as my surname belongs to Odisha and
I proud of that too but I BELONGS TO ALL STATES AND ALL PEOPLE , I LOVE ALL
.This is my actual identity which I got from my parents which no one can take. Rest
of the identity I get from myself like, my professional career ,How I behave to
my personal life etc.
I learnt one lesson
that –
Haters
or Your competitors spread many fake issues and perception in your name as they
know your weakness, fools are those who also accept it gladly.
In my different
stage of my life I faced different sort of issues and perception too,
sometimes it’s all about love issue and sometimes it’s all about my skills and
communication issue, however all have
great effect in my life as well as it also helps me to grow up from inside.
I really don’t care anything until unless
, it hamper my career and dream issue , as both are major in my life and I know
what I sacrificed for that and tolerate for that . It hurts me but I have faith
that one day God will help me to get out of this chakravyuh as I am honest in
my thought and work . I know my work is perfect and what I am doing and going
to do that’s for society , I don’t know about myself and my life and how it is
going to be end but I have a DREAM , LET
IT MAKE IT TRUE. Don’t make it too complicated, but I know people take it
as emotional message, but I believe if you harm someone, the reflection also
hampers you in future. FAITH ON GOD , MAKES
EVERYTHING POSSIBLE.
I have faith on my talent
as well as KARMA. Those who blind with having eyes , I don’t know
about them but those who have eyes and can see everything clearly as well as understand
properly , I know they can easily judge me better . I can’t be too complicated to
make others down, let’s see how far I also can be successful in this trick as I
learnt - Life sometimes makes you a different version as per time and situation.
I know nothing is Last-forever , like the perception and people who hate you now may be they’ll start loving you (My past friends – personal experience) after years , but it has great effect someone’s mental health , as well as it affects their labor as well as career too in that moment, which should n’t be forgive easily , as I think ,AS IT HAS GREAT POWER TO RUIN SOMEONE’S LIFE , MENTAL HEALTH AS WELL AS IT DELAY SOMEONE’S SUCCESS TOO . but I forgive that’s why I am a great idiot.
(LIFE LESSON -If people hate you without any reason
then slap their face, now they have a reason to hate you . what my life taught
me now. )
