From the window of my office I can see a factory
shed coming up. A few months back on the very site stood an old dilapidated
house. Last week the owner of the property arranged for a J.C.B to get rid of
the old house. The massive machine just did not leave even a small brick of the
wall or the slab stone of the foundation; it dug up ten feet below to wipe out
the memories of the old dilapidated house. In a matter of two days the old
crumbling house was a history. For any new construction to take place the
demolishing of the old is but necessary. Creation presupposes Destruction.
If I attempt to construct anything new on the base
of the decrepit it is a futile effort, because it neither can appear new nor
does it can hold the retro. If something stable has to be replace there is no
alternative but to dismantle the shaky one. New construction takes place on the
demolishing of the decrepit. There is no option but to destroy the rickety one
to get a stable one in place. To construct myself the way I want in my life,
the kind of person I want to be in my life, I have to dismantle myself first. I
need to sacrifice those things which are really a stumbling block for my new
construction. To construct a new personality, I have to eradicate my old
personality. To accommodate a constructive thought, I have to extinguish my old
unproductive thoughts. To construct a
pleasing personality, I have to destroy my laziness and other lethargic behaviour.
To experience a happy harmonious life I have to let go my Ego, put a stop to
hatred, say no to greed, and keep away from lust.
I would be living in figment if I expect a better
change with the same life style. It is natural to feel the wish for a better
outcome than what is experienced, but the reality is that I have to destroy
self-diminishing life style so that I can construct a new one. When the
self-diminishing life style is vanquished then I am guaranteed with the
expected result in my life. Though many have this zeal to construct a new way
of life, but are not willing to do away with their old ones. It is not possible
to construct anything new without getting the mentality of the destruction.
Destroying all those mediocre thoughts and life
style makes way for the thoughts and life style of the great personage helping
an individual to become a model for others to follow. Human life is a gifted
opportunity to excel it cannot be left on chance for it to shape up. I need to
destroy all those confinement and design afresh for the greatness, ecstasy,
harmony and peace in my life. Destroying fear, fury and frustration makes way
to create calm, compassion, and compose. My priorities are to find and destroy
all the negativity and supersede them with the positivism. Being pessimist and
looking at the dark side of the life has to be destroyed to create optimism and
develop the habit of looking at the bright side of the life.
