EXpress URself.......................!!!

Well Frnz, I just want to clarify one thing before I start that “I am not a preacher”. My way of writing sounds like as if I am an incarnated form of God and I am here to spread “Gyan”.

Well, don’t get me wrong.

Preaching is not my cup of tea or rather I will say I don’t want to foray into this new business. J

The clock is ticking 1:38 am. I have just finished watching “Coach Carter”, a true story of a basketball coach, an inspirational leader who strongly believes in an all-round personality development of bunch of undisciplined players.

Sorry, I am digressing myself slightly from what I am intending to write.

Let’s begin……………………………………………...........................................................

What I will discuss now will not be something new for you but, I am sure most of you might not have given it a due thought.

For last couple of weeks, I had been sharing one idea with my roommates. The idea of “Expressing oneself freely”.

Don’t you think you will feel freer if you will vent out what is there in your heart/mind??

Let’s say “your mentor has given you a piece of work which doesn’t excite you, then what will you do? Are you left with no option? Now let’s try this, go to him/her and say I don’t feel like doing this work. I will be happier to do some other piece of work. Do you think your mentor will impress upon you this task?? Most probable answer is “yes” but on contrary, he will explain you the advantages of the assigned work, which will open up the new dimensions for you and will help you understand the relevance of that work (which might not have occurred to you in your dreams also). Suppose if he says ok, my frnd, leave it, you choose and do whatever seems to excite you. Then you will direct your full energy in accomplishing this newly given task and probable outcome will be more satisfactory and heart pleasing for you as well as your mentor.”

The gist of this long and boring story is that “expressing oneself freely” is a win-win situation for everyone involved. From our perspective, it adds value to us, propels us to give our best and above all, makes us a better individual.

Let’s take one more example and I promise this story won’t be that much tiresome. ;)

“We are just frnz”, “Aisa kuch nhi hai yaar”, “Tum log bhi naa” etc are some stereotype statements which I keep on hearing from most of my frnz. Thinking for hours whether to write A/B/C in the msg (what he/she will feel if i will write A, no no B, oh no C), waiting whole night for mobile screen to blink (thinking that his/her reply thru msg is about to come) are regular attributes of this breed of people. Common, open your heart and reveal your true feelings. Let them flow. Don’t restrict. What will happen in the worst scenario ----he/she will leave you?? Your so called 200 years old friendship will come into danger?? No, dear. If he/she doesn’t understand your feelings what is the advantage of dragging that so called lifelong friendship? On the contrary, in dragging that relationship, you are missing those wonderful moments u could have shared with other friends.

Luckily I have tried out both the things and it has work reasonably good in my case. Also, there had been several instances in the past which has made me believe more strongly on “Expressing oneself freely”.

Frnz, I am sure everyone of you might be having several instances wherein you might have restricted yourself and repented later on. Lets move ahead and express freely.
