War, Work and Worry Molecule

It is my summer break. And as it happens with others it happens with me too- losing track of time and day, going for dinners or inviting friends on weekdays.  

I love what I do. I love teaching, I love what I gain in the process- helping students out the best I can. I enjoy how I am evolving in my own self because everything is a two way game. The only strain is the countdown of going back to work and to get accustomed to a clock routine and lack free time to dwell and introspect and time to write.  A stress that most people on holiday go through I am sure.

Taking a right turn here to another idea- not a newspaper person however fb has enough information to let us know the happenings of the world. Read that there had been a terrorist attack in Pathankot Air base in India and many soldiers lost their lives. Stress of a soldier- can one even comprehend?.

A stress comparison? 

One could laugh if one was to even try to compare the pressures that a soldier goes through on the line of fire over anxieties that a person goes through when holidays end. Infact there is a real possibility that some people who do death defying jobs are less stressed than the ones who are too accustomed to comforts- it is all about that threshold.

What makes us restless or anxious?

Not the nature of job I am sure. It is the nature of one’s mind. It is the lack of alignment of our heart with what we do. A soldier who consciously chose that career would be brave enough to know that death can happen in his work. If not then he must live a dreadful life of worry most of the time. An educator who sees her work as a joyful inspiration to herself would certainly look forward to it. If not then she certainly cannot do that job well enough. This would apply to all professions.  

The “worry molecule” stays the same for anyone and everyone.  One can worry over a cake not baked properly or not worry about losing all money in a business. One may worry about painting the house wit that right colour that one wants or not worry about a cancer scare- it is always your call.

When one is aligned consciously with cosmos – in body, mind and spirit and when one knows oneself in the larger picture of things then one stops worrying. One acts with full heart and one does what one needs to do. Worry is a byproduct of lack of alignment of your mind with what you do.

It is all in the mind is a cliché but the only one ultimate truth. We hear it, we read it but we never ever dwell on it enough!
