It’s about what you do ‘Now’

Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

Follow me on YouTube

Our brains are coded to dwell too much on our past and future. Time is the most impacting dimension that defines our life. It is up to us to either become a slave of it or hold its strings and dictate terms.

There is no denying the fact that the past teaches us many things and gives us precious memories ( that eventually make us humans). But it is highly elusive, it plays tricks with us when we commit the mistake of identifying with it. We destroy our future by connecting it with our negative past. Even this destroys our present

Yes, it’s difficult to get rid of negative things of the past but there is always a way to do that and I always try to deduce methods to do that. The magic lies in the present. You certainly have something to get fully engrossed in the ‘ Now’. You can take inspiration from the past and use that to your advantage.

What you should ignore , avoid or forget of the past

  • Embarassing moments
  • Fear generating moments
  • Failures that could have been avoided (including silly mistakes)
  • Regrets
  • Accidents
  • Emotional moments especially the  loss of someone

What you should embrace of the past

  • Success but don’t make it infuse arrogance, in fact learn from it and use it as driving force in the present
  • Failures to learn from mistakes
  • Good memories of your loved ones
  • knowledge you acquired
  • Anything that can boost your productivity in the present

Well, apart from this, try to get fully engrossed in the present. The best way to do that is by doing something which you love most. When you are totally lost in the ‘Now’ in doing something which you enjoy then you hardly think about your past or future. You totally forget about  time and make your present as productive as possible.

A Small Spark

A tiny glow in the dark,Shivering with the cold wind.Tormented, scared to surrender ! A struggling ray in the dark Dented and stabbed to limp , Trembles by holding his heart ! A tiny will in the dark,Waging a war with his broken sword, Tries to vanish an army of dark! A fading spark in the dark, Ignites the hopes […]

A Small Spark

Like a Sunflower

At Night
In daylight

I recently planted sunflower seeds and it grew very fast. I guess within one and a half months the plant gave flowers. But what I noticed throughout its growth was that the bud took many days to fully bloom.

Once it bloomed the flower continued to bloom for many days without withering. It shows that nature has its ways of educating us. You just have to obey it and listen to its whisper.

While your hardwork takes time to fully bloom ( success )but once it blooms it stays and heals all the pain you have gone through .

Like a sunflower ,
You shined in the darkness
To bring joy to the world around.
Like a sunflower,
You fought with the turmoil
That bruised you within
And your feet on the ground .
Even the time cannot bend you,
As you push it under your feet.
Your life ignites with your will,
And not with any illusory evil..

The Journeys Alone

singhpiyush60893 Comments
Pabbar Valley Himachal Pradesh

From the cosmos to the womb,
You were alone.
From the womb to this world,
You came alone.

Yes, you were under their shadow,
The ones who made you walk.
Yes, they were the gateway,
The parents who made you Rock.

Once again your destiny crossed,
From parents to the love you met.
The love of her who gave you more,
The gifts of life , the kids you grow.

But the time refused to obey,
And took the love by stripping away.
Once more you walk alone,
Leaving everything behind you once owned.

Once again

From the known to the unknown,
You walk alone.
From your last breath to the light of  souls,
You walk alone….

First post of 2025

One of my finest moments of 2024. Read here for that

https://theperceptionssquare.com/2024/08/19/alpathar-lake/

We all have our superstitions about the first day of the year and the most famous of them is that we end up doing the same things again and again throughout the year which we do on the first day.

So it is mandatory for me to write today . I hardly posted last year and I don’t think my superstitions work. Anyways, the beginning of the year always lifts up the spirit and  it’s better to write now. A few more minutes passes  and this post will also end up in the draft.

Lately, if you are reading my blog these days, you will know I have started opening up about my imperfections. I become anxious pretty quickly and every now and then I get a reason to procrastinate.

I know if you overthink,you will end up doing nothing. I know you should do things just for the sake of doing them without thinking much. Well 30s is a kind of age when you know you aren’t doing right(or probably doing nothing) but still you don’t change your course. It is like you have become a robot who refuses  to budge outside his code. Maybe that’s a midlife crisis or maybe something else.

Resolutions to improve

Anyways, one more year to look forward to. I will try to improve and will not set up big goals (as they make me anxious). Small goals will do. Some of them could be

  • Exercise more
  • Read more
  • Write and blog more
  • Think less
  • Travel more

Apart from this , I will try to fight my biggest enemy- procrastination ( who is already cursing me for writing this post)

Thank you for reading, I hope you are not bored. I will try to improve my writing too….

Goodbye 2024

Life seeping through the cosmos,
Riding on an illusion called as time.
Memories stay forever,
Whether we die or stay alive ..

Another milestone till we die,
Another year we pass through .
Once more we start from day one,
Once more our spirits run high….

Happy New Year to all. May this year brings lots of joy to all of us

Kuari Pass Trek (Lord Curzon Trail)

singhpiyush6089Leave a comment

When nothing in life makes sense, when you feel lost in the polluted urban jungle which you call home, then you have to go back to your roots, the wilderness from where your species evolved. That place, those mountains from where you truly belong. After another difficult year , I decided to go for another […]

Morning Muse

Trail to Thajiwas Glacier Sonmarg

As my Eyes Open to

The morning Glory,

I witness the presence

Of a shining dream,

Maybe the dreams of

My closed eyes,

Nudged and pushed

My soul to the open eyes.

A Dream comes alive

Through the light of the heavens,

The light which turns the white

Of snow and ice,

Into jewels of peace and calm

For my tormented soul.

And the Green shimmered

Of life and Hope….

After contemplating it for few seconds you will get to know that your desire or aspiration is your description. Your success or failure in pursuit of your desire becomes your […]

Who are You ?

Unconventional Mindset

How are you creative?

Dal Lake Srinagar

Creativity is something which comes from an unconventional Mindset. From the beginning our minds are coded with rules , regulations and customs of the society.

If we learn a skill , we are hard wired to do it in a specific way. Therefore it’s difficult to innovate but those who dare to do so , more often than not become a sensation and people follow that afterwards. These people are highly creative but sometimes in order to become more creative people spoil the basic part.

So , creativity is quite difficult to follow. And for me too it came with difficulty. Whether in music or in sports I wasn’t able to do much because I didn’t dare to venture into unknown territories. I guess overthinking is the biggest enemy of creativity. When you overthink you mostly venture into negative mindset territory and come back to your usual path.

You can fail a few times if you venture into new territories but you should always have a strong faith to keep going. The world we see it now is purely because of few people who dared to venture into unknown territories. Their creativity built our modern world.

So break all the shackles that are stopping you and become who you are by being creative. You may fail a few times but you won’t have regrets that you didn’t try.

Merry Christmas to all
