Everything is so easy if u have made up your mind to do it... Most of the times what stops us from doing something, is our mind. Like in movies we have "the bold me" and "the coward me." The 'Bold me' is my positive side, it tells me to go for it, to do it, it motivates me, shows me what i really want. Whereas the 'Coward me' brings me down, tells me what all i'll face if i fail, it always flashes the question " wat if"... There r times wen the good me wins and there r times wen the bad me wins!!
One such incident happened in Rishikesh.
This happened wen i was abt to try the cliff jump... I was standing at the cliff thinking...
The Bold me-- woo hoo!! im goin to try the cliff jump.
The Coward me-- Look at the water. Its deep green. How deep would it be...
Abt 80-90 feet... Man!! if i had to touch the river bed, how deep would i have to go.
(i started imagining... n i was so scared)
The Bold me-- But u have the life jacket. There r so many people doing this, nothing will happen.
The Coward me-- Ha ha... as if people dont get injured... You cud be one of then.
The Bold me-- But u have to try it, that is y u have come here...
I looked down one last tym, Said to myself "dont think abt it," and Jumped...
yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
My mind was totally blank wen i was in mid air... it was just dark!!!
Then i hit the water...splash.... I went in a feet or so, n came up... coz of the life jacket... then swam to the boat...
yes, i did it... My mind won!!! N im so proud of myself for that!!

ReplyDeleteYou have very well described the "bold me" and "coward me". I just wanted to add one more thing to this. Generally, as far as my experience goes, the final decision for doing "such activity" (rather any activity) depends on the first thought regarding it. Everything is about the initiative. If we try to go with the flow of events, then we tend to do anything and probably sometimes even better than we expect from ourselves.
