Download or read book Mindfestation written by CKP SUNIL KUMAR and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-17 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We often have a tendency to passively accept and adopt suggestions, readily embracing diverse perspectives from both familiar sources and the wider world. However, the majority fail to benefit from this approach, resorting to mere rationalization and verbalizing after encountering setbacks. People tend to seek guidance and insights externally, neglecting to explore their own inner selves. As the old adage goes, we often assign greater importance to what is distant rather than what is within reach. Until individuals undergo a process of self-reflection and rejuvenation, they may fail to recognize their own intrinsic power and worth. We have yet to explore or acknowledge the potential within us, failing to engage in introspection and cultivate a meaningful relationship with our own minds. Harnessing the extraordinary capabilities of our minds through mindful practices can significantly transform us into resilient and exceptional individuals, poised to excel and lead with confidence.
