I take a deep breath and look around. Lush greenary all around me. Lush blue water gushing beside the small garden around me. A bird flies down beside me and this doesn't scare me at all. It rests down on my hand. I look down to see the eagle staring intently at me. I take a step forward. I feel majestic.
Wow!

Recently I had this beautiful conversation with my friend Anamika, and she led me to this discovery. It was such a revelation, such a thrilling discovery that I am continously playing with it, experimenting. Thought of sharing with everybody.
The thought is... Have Confidence in your ideas, thoughts. In a deep conversation, when a person is listening to somebody, he/she (They) tend not to listen completely, and one of the reasons is they are afraid. They are afraid that the other person's thoughts/ideas are so strong, that it will replace their own thoughts, ideas. So in a bid to battle it out, they tend not to listen completely. They spend half of the time clinging to own thoughts, attaching emotionally to it, defending their ideas and eventually missing out on the opposite person'sviews/ opinions/ thoughts and ideas. This results in arguments, conflicts and heartburns, bitter experiences.
Have you experienced it?
It is possible to listen completely? Is it possible to be with other person's thought completely, with out losing out on your ideas?
Yes. And that is what Anamika taught me the other day.
She said, if you are confident about your thought, if you believe in your thought, 100%, then stop clinging to it while listening to others. If your ideas/thoughts/opinions are stronger than the others' thoughts, then it will CERTAINLY stay with you. Start paying attention to the thought/idea. Be with it, completely absorb it. Analyse it, question it and then check if its really good?
When you do this, you'll realise that you are paying complete attention to the person, being with the thought and completely listening.
Believe me, It is such a pleasure to be in that state! Believe it only after experiencing it! :D
Then I thought, What if the other thoughts are stronger than mine? Then accept it. Let your weak thoughts go away. Between ego and strength, I know I will eventually choose strength. Why? Becuase I want to be with stronger thoughts, I want to be strong!
Is this not Humility? Wow!
Confidence lies in humility in accepting the truth! Another realisation for me! Hahahahha
To be honest, I also think this confidence on your thoughts is like TRUE LOVE. If your love is truly your's, if your thoughts are really strong, it will come to you, they'll stay with you, .
Is confidence also love? Is it loving your thoughts?
Is this another realisation? LOL
Think about it and let me know your thoughts. If they are stronger, let them replace my thoughts! :)
