Some of you may have heard the saying: “Unchallenged life is a life not worth living” or, may be it is: “If you are not learning, you are dying,” for the most part, I struggle with these statements, as I feel, at times, I just wants to be idled, left alone—hence, not challenge and not learning. However, the truth is, life never gives us momentarily idle or leaves us alone, something or someone is always pulling/pushing us one direction or the other’s. Therefore, I think, rather than let the day-to-day details push us around; we must build our capacities for solidarity yet be inimitable in our own individuality. Yes, I am serious!
As most of you know, I am a checklister and a QDMer, you all know how much I love to put tasks in your Outlook’s and I just love it when a task is done timely. But as much as I love working off a calendar full of checklist, I make it a very special time for me to step away from the task-based, project-based, and calendar based day-to-day details of each day and build my capacity for solidarity yet be inimitable in my individuality—yes, know that I exist in this world which are surrounded with others yet, I am my own-individual-self and every decision I make impacted all.
I am not saying that building capacity for solidarity yet be inimitable in our individuality comes in the same form for everyone; but we must allow our soul, mind, and body to recharge momentarily each day with whatever it is that makes us meditative. For me, it is the first thing every morning when I wake up, it is the best time for me to be reflective, but the funny thing is, I even make that a calendar entry in my outlook—so much for staying off checklist momentarily.
