heard of the age old sayin - barking up the wrong tree?? Probably old, but let me attach some fresh thoughts to it....
one of swami vivekananda's most inspiring and famous quotes is ' Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced'
i look up to swami vivekananda quotes all the time.........yet, can't get that invisible doubting thomas off my back about this quote......got this image of jack and the beanstalk on my head whenever i convince myself about an idea being 'the idea'!!
hence, a branch off funda on this one quote, my own..... let the mind be a farmland, full of ideas, sow ideas, water it, nurture it and then reap it.. if the crop is suitable for the land, then make it a forest land - grow the idea, rather like what the quote said...
then why the farmland?? well, if u ever get a bad hunch about an idea, would be easier to rip it off the roots if its a farm, rather than a forest... kapish??? if you can relate to this in real life decisions and thoughts, well, you've just experienced a glimpse of what it feels like to be 27, single, and undecided on life - my style!
