Some more thoughts

about me.
Today I was observing the solution to the modified binary search problem. I thought that I was thinking why a binary search won't work, but I was not at all thinking how to modify the binary search. I saw it. Great to see that solution. So, I think my dont focus my energies on how to obtain a solution, but rather focus on some arbitrary things.
Another thing is my overwhelming at the sight of complexity. It just bogs me down. I fail to take control over such situations. I fail to acknowledge that to tackle complexity, the two necessary things are - abstraction and divide&conquer. With them, I can tackle anything.

Three keys to achievement

They are belief, action and timeliness.
This link puts beautifully what belief is. I have never seen such a beautiful definition anywhere.

Belief combines your thoughts and feelings, which go out before you, drawing those things to you that reinforce your essential beliefs.

The author goes on to say how the goals are affected by our beliefs. Again beautiful words, that I have never heard before:

Having set yourself a goal to achieve, you can just "believe" your goal into existence. If you totally and absolutely believe that whatever is needed to achieve that goal will manifest itself, then your goal will be achieved. The trick is in how well you "believe" - this requires absolute and utter conviction, absolutely no shadow of doubt, not the tiniest "if". It requires you to "know" the goal is true is sure as if you are seeing it now. It needs not just your thoughts but also your feelings aligned in "believing" that the goal already exists for you.

Believing is necessary, but action is even more necessary to make the belief a tangible reality. Ah, how fragile is reality - we can make it easily and we can break it too easily.

There are still some things..

that I am not consciously realizing...which I think I should have realized long before, if I concentrated on it. They are:

• Lack of fire in the .
• Setting non-SMART goals for each day
• Lack of courage
• Lack of planning
• Lack of emotional intelligence
• Lack of composure and calmness (mentally)

I was reading an article today in the morning, it says that the source of all illnesses is mind. With a proper frameset of mind, miracles can happen, with lack of proper mindset disasters will happen. It says that stress results not because of being busy all day or getting tired, stress results because of presence of contrasting beliefs in the mind pulling us in opposite directions. The article also cites a clean example - if you think that you will have to wake up for long hours and sleep early, there is stress. If you think that you will have to keep studying to get through in an interview and dont do that, there is stress. In that way, when we do something and we believe we should not be doing it, there is stress.

If I look back, there is just this in my life ever since I started doing that and became conscious about it. I always do something and later regret for not doing it. This IS what I keep doing all day long. No wonder, I get heart pains now. There is a lot of stress now in me. I need to free myself of it. There is a need to look at things differently. There is a need to be happy. There is a need to think positively.

There is also a need to have a proper goal. There is a need, before having a proper goal, to have fire in the belly. What is the sole purpose in life? What is the most important thing that you want to achieve before you die? You need to think about it.

There is absolutely no discipline in life, because of which things dont get done.There, there is some dissonance between the expected state of things and the actual state of things. Stress. Somtimes it is because of fear. Sometimes it is because of pessimism. Sometimes it is because of habits. Sometimes it is because of lack of discipline and sometimes it is because of over expectations. Whatever it is, there is dissonance and hence there is stress. So consciously, you have to get things done. Remember this.
