Parrots and Freedom(Twist yourself to break the bars)

We are living in a world where everyone wants freedom. We think freedom is Going out without anyone getting bothered, Dating, Eating, Drinking, speaking, buying whatever we want, and many other things

This is materialistic freedom that gives you a temporary " a-bird-out-of-a-cage-feeling" but in actuality, you are caged, CAGED BY YOUR OWN THOUGHTS... A PERPETUAL LOOP YOU GET STUCK IN.

Attaining freedom is like trading your present peace of mind(materialistic/temporary) to achieve future peace of mind(spiritual/permanent). Being at peace is freedom. Acceptance of a situation and fighting for it is freedom. Focusing on selective and important things rather than unnecessary things is freedom

A Parrot taught me freedom

I had a parrot named gifty. I bought it for some bucks with a beautiful green-colored big cage and kept it for days and taught it to speak. It learned to say "hi" when someone entered the room and say "bye" when someone left. I used to provide it with good quality food, care, and love. I loved it very much. But one day, beyond that love and care, Gifty broke the bars. He twisted himself in ways that he got out of the bars. It got some cuts on its body but it came out and flew in the sky, squawking "BYE" "BYE "BYE".

I was astonished watching him. The way he adopted to get free, Even if I would have tried to stop it, It still would have flown anytime. This taught me a lesson, Freedom gives you cuts and wounds. But these wounds don't matter when you have a big sky in front of you to fly. 

The first step to freedom is - Break the chains of your own thoughts. You, yourself are your jailer and you yourself are the gate opener. When you are free from your own thoughts, No one in this world, absolutely no one could ever chain you.....

Either be the master of your thoughts or become the slave of your thoughts... Once you are a slave, You will never be free no matter how much you go out, drink, date, wear brands ... You will always be a slave. 

CHOICE IS YOURS...

Arts of a manager

 It's been a month since my journey in management started. There are new things unfolding themselves. Till now I have observed 2 things that seem very important to becoming a good manager  1. The art of observation: When it comes to getting out productivity from the team, You first have to understand the work nature of each member on the team. You have to think like each and every one of them and try to be a different person to everyone. Every day you put your feet in the shoes of each one of them. You have to become a multi-personality person at the same time  Thus constant observation is necessary. Until you reach the root of their behavior in different situations, Getting the work done by them is pretty difficult. I am still working on it as it is a very long chapter  2. Prioritization Your team is totally dependent on you when it comes to information. Whatever you communicate will be worked upon by them. At the end of the day, The output depends upon the inform...

EXPLORE YOURSELF

Life is full of wrong and right turns. You have to pass through these turns to get to the right path.  Sometimes na, it happens .... it happens that before getting to the right path, we take some wrong turns.
