We
need to be careful of patterns in our life. They draw us into comfort zones;
into easy choices. Yes, it begins with our response to certain situations in
life. But most of our apparent responses are mere repetitive reactions
basically born of our fears and insecurities. They are just escape mechanisms. Under
their spell we start screeching with the searing passion of parakeets on their
favorite tree.
A pattern thus consolidated over a
period of time becomes the mainstream of our life in which all the
tributaries—our assortment of attributes, talent and skills—flow into and lose
their significance. Believe me, it’s disservice to life. It’s falling into a
hypnotic claustrophobia with a foolish smugness and taking it to be the proof
of our realistic, logical hold on life. It’s heretical to one’s true self and
real, almost infinite potential.
Under the influence of a powerful
pattern in life, we feel there is stabilization, but in reality it’s our
acceptance and surrender to one pattern, one push. It has popular appeal and
cherished theme. As a wide-eyed, shy and introvert boy, lanced by an entire
array of pre-teen fantasies, the solidly patterned person stops evolving
towards maturity, wisdom and creativity.
The masterful masquerade of mediocrity.
The paying propositions by the pauperizing king of misers, the hypnotic
pattern. No wonder, life becomes one-dimensional under the rule of populist
potentate.
So we need to routinely analyze the
predominant patterns of our individual life. Test them. Critically evaluate
them. Dissect them. Once we do that, we open ourselves to multifold choices and
opportunities on a broader plain of existence.
Most of the time, a pattern well
analyzed and remedied accordingly leads us to a still more superior pattern.
That’s inevitable. It’s as per the cosmic law of evolution. So start asking
yourself about the major patterns in your life. Study your patterns of
thoughts, reactions, fears, insecurities, anxieties, comfort zones, greed, lust
and relationships.
