Do good, for the well of your being
Fear of losing sibling, brothers and sisters while they provide unconditional support. State of mind changes with age especially after every 10 years. We have to face many uncertainties in life. Sense of loneliness and nothingness are source of worry.
Replace your fear of uncertainty for future with belief that whatever will happen will be better than past. I'll be better version of myself.
Otherwise, we'll become liability for everyone around us.
In some cases, brothers, sisters, spouses, parents, kids, circle of influence; are root cause of problem.
Future is constructed on the foundation of our current thoughts (seeds).
Most people say, I'm cutting my life. Life is cutting them eventually.
Fact is that future is not in our control, but this is also fact that we can plan our future.
Yes, I'm 60 now. Yes, I can die in next 10 years. It's not in my control. But if I'll be alive. It's in my control.
The present defines the future. The future builds on the foundation of what we are doing right now.
Our future is in our control 99.999999%. 0.0000001% is not in our control.
Insurance companies know this formula.
You can ask the possibility of your life from insurance company. They will tell you on the basis of data, they have.
99.999999% of life is in our control but the condition is we have to get rid of 0.0000001% fear of uncertainty.
Joy, wonders, curiosity, and fear shame

What is joy, wonder, and curiosity? According to structure, how the brain is activated. How, we are able to solve problems? Let's talk about shame. Shame as an emotion activates the emotional center of our left brain, which wants to know, am I safe? Shame is a very difficult feeling to experience. It doesn't feel safe. It makes us feel disconnected.
We cannot feel empathy, and we feel like we are bad inside. This prevents us from accessing the right side of the brain, which is compassionate creative, a parallel processor and crucially the left side of the brain where our ego is not able to access the circuity of the right side of the brain. The right side of the brain, however, is able to access everything in the entire brain.
This means that if we want to access the abilities of the right side of the brain, we have to consciously activate it.
This can feel really scary because it means that the left side of the brain doesn't feel in control, and when it doesn't feel in control, it panics. It's deeply uncomfortable.
Let's talk why joy, curiosity, and wonder are essential ingredients for cultivation right brain thinking.
When we get new information, our emotional brain reaches a crossroads. Do we activate fear, or do we activate curiosity. So, curiosity looks like asking questions. It is about seeing the world in a new way. It's about finding out little bits of information. It's also about play and playing, bringing more joy and wonder into your life and this can be extremely difficult in a culture that actively shames us for asking questions, for relaxing, for doing things that seem frivolous or serving no purpose or even being too emotional. But it is important to know that that egoic left side of the brain that wants to be rational, that's a linear processor, is responding to the fear center of the brain. Its decisions are fear based and limited.
So, it can take an immense amount of courage to choose joy or curiosity. But remember, when we liberate ourselves, we liberate other people to do the same, and that is power.
