Adventure is true living

Are you seeking security or adventure?

Humankind’s biggest strength is its hunger for adventure. Humanity as a whole has progressed so much and became so dominant because of this hunger.

There is no meaning of life without adventure, without some risks and without  exploring all the possibilities. Yes security sometimes gives you peace but progress most often  goes to adventurous souls.

Yes, adventure sometimes hits you, fails you and you don’t get the desired outcome.  But if you want more in life or finally want security in life then you have to walk on an adventurous path.

I seek a lot of thrill when it comes to travel and mostly I trek or hike in the mountains to explore amazing places which you don’t get in your daily life. It’s like food for your soul which is very essential to rejuvenate and to contemplate life in a more positive way.

Nature heals even the most tormented minds but for that you have to follow an adventurous path.

Wisdom only increases

What do you think gets better with age?

To err is human and to learn from it is human too.

When you face failure you introspect , you try to know what went wrong and after knowing the cause you try not to make the same mistake again.

Similarly, if you face success then you try to repeat the same procedure or routine again and again.

As you grow old ,your experience of failures , success, loss and defeat makes you wiser than before. You embrace contentment and calmness becomes your strongest suit.

Life on our planet grew up to this level because it made mistakes, evolved from it and finally  produced wiser beings like us. I just hope it only gets better.

Workouts

What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?

In order to lead a comfortable life one should give workouts the highest priority because there is no comfort without having a healthy body.

I always try to take out time for proper exercise. It is good not only for the body but it also infuses positive thinking in your daily life. A healthy mind increases efficiency in your life and encourages you to take difficulties as a learning curve.

So exercise daily and if you are in the mountains then you are in for the treat. A small hike in the meadows can rejuvenate your heart and soul. It can heal all your wounds and can give you the true meaning of comfort…..

Future – A product of ‘Now’

What are you most excited about for the future?

Buran ghati

A Future is nothing without the Present.

Our minds are coded and programmed by society in a way that we always hope for a bright future, without doing anything substantial in the present.

In fact there is no future if we don’t sow its seeds in the “Now”. It’s like growing a plant by sowing a seed ,watering and taking care of it every single day. Then hoping for the outcome.

Hope resides in the coming ‘Now’ . If you have done your part in the present then you can expect everything bright to follow. I am always excited to face the fruit of my hardwork though I don’t hope much as I haven’t always got the desired result.

Contentment is my only solace where I take a deep breath and say to myself, ” maybe one day”.

Expectations hurt

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

Alpathar lake

You work hard for something and you don’t get desired results.

You love someone wholeheartedly and you  don’t get the same love.

You help someone in need and when you ask for help , you never get.

Heartbreaks , pain , disappointment, frustration all are born out of expectations, one of the biggest reasons you are not able to live your life happily.

Let it go , all the expectations are mere seeds to unsettle you. You can have all the peace, happiness, satisfaction if you just think you have given everything you can , maybe you don’t get the same vibrations but your smiling face is happy enough to not feel the pain life can give you.

You are in harmony with the universe and you will adapt to whatever direction it will try to mould you.

Nature’s Song

singhpiyush60892 Comments

What is your favorite genre of music?

Naini Lake

Sweet rustling of the leaves,

With the wind blowing from the mountains.

Birds chirping or singing ,

With the bass of

A dying trunk or twig.

Together with the symphony

Of a burbling river stream,

Produces the perfect song.

The life of memories

singhpiyush6089Leave a comment

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

Gulmarg summers

Memories are immortal. Memories are our best gift. We have limited time in our material form but our memories continue to live in the hearts of the people we come across.

Sometimes these memories make you great but the greatest memories are those which bring tears in the eyes of the people.

So, we can’t guarantee how long we can live but we can surely make great memories by sharing love, compassion, kindness and generosity. This will surely ensure our existence for a long time , maybe till the end of time.

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.

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

Our Identity

singhpiyush6089Leave a comment

Who are the biggest influences in your life?

Contemplating at Kuari pass

We are born as nothing. Then we embrace everything from our society and finally become a reflection of them. But what really stops us in becoming a bad version of our society?

Our Parents

They nurtured us, made us a better version of them and tried to give all the happiness of the world. But sometimes we lose our way, become arrogant or sometimes distressed.

In those moments if we are under their shadow or try to remember them, then their words come alive like a source of strength etched in our memories. And once again we stand up, correct ourselves and become what we truly are, a better version of them, our true identity .

This is the biggest positive influence on many of us . So whenever you feel you are lost just try to remember them or be in their company, it will surely help.
