Out of all people in the world,
it had to be Robin Williams a comedian. Lot has been already written about
depression being the silent killer. Lot of analysis has also been made as to
how comedians are most susceptible to depression. Correctly appearances can be deceptive.
People have one face for the physical world; one for virtual and third is the
real one. Nowadays its very important to
have balance of mind to deal the situations in life. Modern life with its complicated
ways is at its best to as questions each and every minute. So just as we spend
time to maintain body, its very imperative to keep mind trained to adapt to
various situations of life. Its easy said than done.
Without sounding sermonizing or
without a need to repeat clichés, i have a concrete plan. Let me know if it
helps
1. Define
your horizon: List down top 10 ten things you want in next 12 months. You will
find that the list will have at least 4-5 things which you may like to edit and
delete. Assess the list in at least 3 different times and mood. Say when you
are partying hard, when something happens which you don’t like and most
importantly say between 4 to 6 am in
the morning fresh after decent rest at some scenic location. The common
points in the list will be final. Now don’t worry about moving targets. That’s
very important. Else there won’t be contentment. Eg last week I was at
Panchgani, at a friend’s house. There i had a temptation to add an item of
owning similar place. So let this list be
tight no additions or deletions once you lock it.
