In recent times i came to understand how strange human beings behave. I gave a thought as to how this all happens and what makes them behave indifferently. When you observe a person he might be very normal at one time but his behaviour might suddenly change the very next moment, this is simple because mind is never inactive even if the body is inactive the mind keeps functioning. This is why there is a very apt proverb which says "IDLE MIND IS DEVILS WORKSHOP". Have we ever wondered why they say that? The reason being that is when a person has no work to do he sits idle and keeps thinking about something or the other, while doing so his mind thinks of all the negative things that has happened to him or at times it even forecasts an unreal situation and makes the person what are the possible negative things that can happen to him and how the people around him will react to that particular situation, this in turn makes the person get a negative image of the people around him. In such a case what the person actually does it in order to check if his perception is correct he deliberately creates the situation and checks how the people around him behave, if they behave the exact way his mind has forecasted he develops a preconceived notion about the other persons attitude or behaviour for example: Before an employee appears for his appraisal meeting, his mind will never think of any of the positive things he has done during the past year he thinks only about the negative things he has done and he will be so sure that his manager will think the same. These kinds of negative vibrations makes us to lose half of our confidence. If you have seen the film 3 idiots you will know that there is a very famous dialogue "ALL IS WELL" i at times feel it is so true. There is one thing that happens to me very often, my office is located in the interior of SIPCOT IT Park to go to the main road i need to catch an auto, since my office is located interior i hardly get any auto as a result of which i need to walk minimum for 15 to 20 Min's to reach the nearest auto spot. At times i tel my mind that today i will get auto at the office entrance and to my surprise i will get it at the entrance and on the contradiction if i believe that today i will not get auto i surely will not get auto how much ever i walk. This example might be a bit silly but take a minute to think how many of us have under gone such similar situations. That is when i came to understand that the entire control of our mind is with us. People might say while at anger i am not aware of how i behave, i would say this is complete lie. The anger they exhibit is nothing but preconceived behaviour. After a fight when you sit and think why all this happened you will be just blank. All your mind gets is a sense of satisfaction that it was able to achieve what it had forcasted. When we allow the mind to control us we become slaves to our minds which is not a good sign on the other hands when we try to control our mind we make wonders. These are just a gist of what i have read but i felt so true when i continued reading a book on Developmental Psychology. The author Elizabeth B. Hurlock have mentioned every stage of mind development and how human beings react at that particular stage. We say that each individual and their nature of behaviour is different that is so true as the surround in which a child grows and the surrounding in which we live influences and contributes a lot to our nature and behaviour. Try controlling your mind and see what wonders you can make.
