STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP ON THE NAME OF PRODUCTIVITY.
What natural process of growth look like?

A Tree.
It was once a seed, then planted and became a big beautiful tree.
It used all the resources available to nourish itself.
Rooted in its own belief, the tree was not in a hurry to grow 10x and bear fruit right from the seed.
It kept itself aloof from the social conditioning.
But in the modern world, we are provoked to be more productive.
Many weird tips are given under the name of “exhilarating the growth”
Drink a ton of coffee
Sleep in the ice-tub
Wake up at 4 am
and what not?
Growth is a natural process, don’t put your brain on steroids of social conditioning.
Growth is evolution, not revolution.
Evolution comes with change, not disruptions.
Moreover, growth happens quietly.
A quiet mind learns better
A quiet mind observes better
A quiet mind acts better

Roots
Build a solid foundation.
A seasoned artist does not wake up one fine day a think about, “what to paint?”
He has a genre and knows he is going to paint nudes or surrealistic pieces.
This happens because he has a solid foundation.
A deeply rooted system of belief.
A clear message in his mind about what he is going to communicate.
Said so, not having a belief system is also a system.
But don’t be a musician trying to be an engineer.
The beauty of a rooted system is that it has evolved on its own, with occasional nutrients from the compost like — books, cinema and art.
The rooted system comes from a need to absorb the influences and wisdom that facilitate its growth.
Meditation.
It allows it to grow deeper rather than lateral.
Branch
Based on your knowledge, branch out.
Let the inner intuitions and the wisdom seek out to reach for the sky.
You will automatically compartmentalise the aspects of your life.
The dimensions of your being and existence.
When I reflect on this I realise that; a branch of me is spiritual, another is creative and there are few which are entrepreneurial.
These are interchangeable and inseparable aspects of my life.
They collide, overlap and promote vertical growth.
These branches and roots together make a tree and set the premise for leaves to grow on them.
Realisation.
Synthesis
This is the point where people start to see you.
You see “The light”.
The sun of inner nothingness shares profound wisdom.
The genuine growth of the roots reflects in your being.
You become more playful with the winds of uncertainty.
You become receptive to the influx of energy which sprouts in you to create.
Enlightenment.
Fruits
Enjoy the fruits!
Share them, there is nothing more fulfilling.
The fruits you share have seeds.
Seeds are potential Trees.
Just like you.
Pause for a while and reflect on how far you have come.
Take breaks and be aware of your own vastness.
Life goes on.
Flow.
