"Not everything is possible. Of course I am not always right.." -- Sachin 'The Little Master' Tendulkar
Happy Birthday to Sachin Tendulkar. This is all I am worthy of saying to this legend. This is not another tribute to Sachin but something that may help you get such tributes for the rest of your life and even after that. And I am right.
Possible is something that you
think can happen, impossible is something that you
think, can't. So, it's a matter of what you
think. Nobody
thought in Cricket, a 16 year old lad could hammer the shit out of the best pacemen of their times. Nobody
thought humans could fly. Nobody
thought a feeble old man with a piece of cloth around his body, a wooden stick in hand and harry potter glasses (of course HP didn't exist then) could end a 200 years old empire and become the father of a nation. It was all IMPOSSIBLE. But it did happen, didn't it? I would say we're somewhere wrong with our definition of impossible. Of course impossible exists but just like light and darkness do. Unless you light something up, it's dark. So, it's impossible that not everything is possible.
We all have watched movies which have made us cry, laugh, angry, sad, etc. But in our hindsight we all know that it's just a movie. SRK didn't really die in Kal Ho Na Ho nor did Sanjay Dutt get into a medical school (oh, he's getting into a very, very different place in real :D).They were all just movies which we enjoyed and moved on with our lives with no attachments to them. Likewise, the whole world is a movie which runs in your mind. You're constantly writing the script in your mind and your brain, the director, is doing its job and projecting the movie to you using your senses. What you see, what you hear, smell, feel or taste is just a projection which may or may not be true. We've all had incidences when we've missed seeing, hearing or feeling something even though it was right there. We have all daydreamed about things that don't exist and we've realised their non-existence only when we've come back to our senses. Thus, your mind controls your and your environment's existence. You believe something to be true when your mind says it is, you believe it to be POSSIBLE when your mind says it is.
Now, this is not what usually happens with all people. Or as we like to call them,
extraordinary people. So, what do extraordinary people have that we don't? It's a belief that one can achieve what they want no matter how impossible it seems. A belief that no goal is higher than the will to achieve it. A belief that if one person can do something then even we can because after all we're made out of the same elements of the universe. And if you aim to achieve something that nobody else has, then you have a rare opportunity to inspire a whole new generation by doing what nobody else has done before. This is what legends believe, this is what legends are made of. This is what YOU are made of. Is there any instance where you have pursued something with all your heart and sweat and with no fear or doubts about failure, and have not achieved your goal? There won't be. But if you haven't pursued something in this way it's time you do. I know many of us believe it's easier said than done but believe me, it's much easier done than said. So, how do we do it?
I am not going to tell you something that you don't already know. It's something that you've known since a long time but hardly followed.
So here it goes: start believing that you have what you want, or you can reach where you want to reach. Believe it like a fanatic. Believe it so much that just a thought of your goal inspires you to new degrees and you get an adrenaline rush. And here is how you can strengthen your belief. Once something gets in your subconscious mind, your subconscious starts to give you signals in form of hunches, dreams, sixth-sense as we call it. You need to trust those signals and follow them. Your subconscious has all the knowledge of the universe since the time you are conceived by your parents. We need to access the subconscious and tell it what we want and trust me, it'll get it to you. To reach your subconscious, you need to be relaxed or in technical terms, your mind needs to be in alpha state in which the frequency of your brain waves is 8-12 Hz. Normally, the frequency when we're actively awake, i.e. in the beta state, is 14-30 Hz. There are various relaxation techniques you can find on Internet or you can buy books too.
Once your goal has reached your subconscious, you will just have to follow your instincts and achieve your goal. To know in more detail about your subconscious mind, you can get a book, "Spring of Inspiration" by Dr. Jitendra Adhia.
Maybe, after reading this technique, you will first laugh at it, then think about believing it, then one day if and when you have everything going against you and you don't know why, you will believe it. Once you start believing and following it, you will live it. And once you start living it, you will start living. So, don't leave it for the worst moments, follow it from your best moments so that the worsts don't arrive at all.
So, to sum up, there's nothing you can't get that you want. There's a legend inside us. We too can be a Sachin, or a Mahatma or even Christ. Or maybe we already are?
