A real 'Present'...

Don't we do this most of the time? Yesterday we had fight with our parents or partner or with someone very significant and we keep on thinking about that for next few days. This happens with you right? Don't worry. You are not a single person experiencing this. There are many more like you. Rather, everyone is as same as you in this regard. Feeling happy to know this? Well, wait. Story doesn't stop here. I will try to unfold some aspects about this. Almost everyone can agree to the statement that a human mind is clingy. Intrinsically, we are very much comfortable and habituated with clinging to the things, people, events and even objects. We are too much dependent of our surroundings. We get easily attached with the things, people, events in our life and cling to them.

Only 'that voice' is real...

Vanita was being always criticised by her seniors at work. One of them was harsh and one of them was too soft in giving feedback. She never had an issue with accepting feedback but she could not handle the harsh criticism.

She gained insight that human mind is so influenced by external environment that it can easily get encouraged or discouraged by mere comments of people. If its getting encouraged, its good but what if its getting discouraged with every critical comment?  Its totally bad and unhealthy. So why to get influenced by external factors. Isn't it a valuable insight gained by Vanita? Has it ever happened with you? You might have come across people who discourage you, blame y
