Have you been a spectator? I had been one and I believed the same for you as well; to each and every thing and everyone..I had been a spectator to innumerable people I knew and whom I didn't; to programs I viewed on the television and to LIVE cricket matches and to plays at Prithvi Theatre and NCPA. I had even been a spectator to corruption and to hostility of countless people..From now to the oldest of my memories, I had been a spectator to others MORE THAN to MYSELF.
And with every passing day, I intended and tried to move INWARDS. And I felt deeply revered to ludicrously pathetic at my LIFE'S LIVE performance. We LOVED being a spectator to a performance where people gave their 100% to what they did and we relished the outcome. I expected the same from myself. Sometimes, I felt so irritated at my raucous mind that I deliberately tried to assume myself drifting into irrelevance than to continue being my own spectator.
And then, the Sun rose. And the mind was afresh. And, a new thought. To rise above. Above oneself. From simply being you to being a spectator of yourself and then being what you were to what you can be OR moving away from just performing to the strategy to first visualize how you would want yourself to perform. To give yourself space and time to prepare and perform. And perform for just one person..Yourself...
It is really important to view yourself from the OUTSIDE; It lets you look at yourself from a different perspective..You assume to be another person with same mindset as yours and you watch yourself performing...And you really want to please the other person because first, its yours own virtual image and second, you would really want to enjoy your own performance. And that is what drives to perform with max energy.
I really want to enjoy my performance each day and it usually is a mix of full and partial achievement of my goals. But, I realize that I may lack in a few areas and I know that I need to fill those gaps. My Other person needs to enjoy me performing..I wanna keep him happy. My spectators must enjoy my performance. :-)
