B105 The virtuous spiral!

 

The performance of the Indian cricket team today at the gabba, and over the past 3 test matches post the Adelaide fiasco of being shot out for 36 is a a great example of self belief breeding success and success fuelling self-belief and the upward spiral!

More power to the fearless, gritty, talented ones!

B103 The illusion of our beliefs and reality

 Some lines completely change your perspective. "Early Indians " by Tony Joseph a deeply insightful book i am currently reading starts with the following quote from Prof Andrew Franknoi.

"As you read this sentence perhaps sitting in your chair you would consider yourself at rest. But you are really not , because the milkyway galaxy of which you are a part is moving through the space at one million kms per hr.This is without taking into account the effect of earths rotation on its axis(1600 kms/hr), orbiting around the sun(107,000 kms/hr) and suns journey around the milky way (792,000 kms/hr). "

So in the roughly 20 seconds it would have taken you to read the para above you have already moved thousands of kms , while you believe you were at rest.

How illusory our beliefs are ,and how wonderful the world is ...

This certainly changed mine !

B91 Who should we reach out to for advice and guidance?

 We all turn to someone for advice and guidance when we are faced with dilemmas and challenged with difficult choices both in our professional and personal lives.

While trust and the belief that the person will be guided by our welfare plays a huge role in the choice of that individual, one question that sometimes gets missed out is “ Does that person actually practise and live whatever he professes”

There is a big difference between knowing what the right choices are and actually living them.

Remember this and you will for sure make the right choice
