We all consume … by
reading a book…listening to the radio…browsing the
internet…watching the TV…texting with friends…writing on the wall…sharing a
link…forwarding useless emails…etc.,
Some of this may be required by the nature of your job/personal
circumstance (say 20%) , most of them (80%) consume our all important time
adding zero value.
Say for example, you just returned from the office and
switched on the TV news channel…there is a debate going on (again useless one!)
with the so called intellectual panel speaking all at once resulting in a cacophony…While
the news anchor would say “India wants to know”…I don’t know if we know
anything at all from these TV debates…
Or take for that matter, the soap operas (sponsored duly by
Soap company promising Fairness!) …there is a unusual blaring background
indicating an upcoming difficult situation (Tamil cinema calls it a “Knot”)…When
I watch for another 5 minutes, the difficult situation is that the “bahu”
cooked a different side dish instead of the one referred by mother-in-law! So much
for the creativity in Indian television…
I wont even rant here about the internet…facebook…and the
social networks…given the time we spend and the value we get
So you may ask , what else to do?...the simple answer is to
Create!
Write a page about any topic !
Reproduce a cartoon image using pencil and paper!
Learn to play a nursery rhyme on the Online keyboard!
Sing a song and record your voice !
Try a new dish in the Kitchen !
Sign-up as a Volunteer for an event !
Build a wooden desk for your kid , yourself !
Teach in your neighborhood school !
Learn to play a sport you had never indulged before !
Capture a moment using your Camera !
..And the list is endless !
Create something… I insist the word something !
In a short frame of time , you will hit the sweet spot of
creation …you will be amazed to see your creative juice of the Brain at work. You
get consumed in the creation instead of being consumed by consuming ….
When you create something , you will feel energized after!
When you create something , you will feel motivated after!
When you create something ,you will start understanding
yourself!
When you create something ,you will hit your passion sooner
than later !
When you create something, you would have find your Purpose!
Create something everyday !
