CONVERT SCARS INTO STARS 

Article by : Swami Sukhabodhananda - "Manase Relax Please"

Each one of us are a victim of our past. And unless we free ourselves from the past, we can never be free from the present. Therefore, we will never be free in creating a compelling future, which all executives want to create in the workshop. He says, most of us have scars and it is our responsibility to convert them into stars.

In the workshop called LIFE, Corporate Harmony and Creativity at Work, I make the participants to go through understanding, through meditation and through very wise dimensions of thinking. I help them convert scars into stars.

There is a dissatisfaction of the past, which gives us a distaste in the present, which in turn gives us distrust in the future: If this happens, we are going to be miserable in spite of being successful. ' Why there has been a dissatisfaction of the past?' At the end of an enquiry that we are growing individual and as growing individual, we go through failures. We go through ups and downs, which are the seasons of living, he says. Since we are growing individuals, like a growing child falls down and gets up or like a boy learning cycling, falls down and gets up, so to as, individuals, we in the corporate world, are bound to make mistakes in life. If we don't have healthy attitude towards mistakes. If we don't learn from our mistake, then we will be a victim of our mistakes. When we are a victim of our mistakes, instead of being a victor of our mistakes, we are a victim of our mistakes that gives us the dissatisfaction of the past.

Now, with this dissatisfaction of the past, we start living in the present and what happens is, since we have not healed the past by learning, we only complain about our failures. Hence, there is a distaste to the present. When there is a distaste to the present; 'the distaste to the present is like eating a delicious sweet with .the wrapper on'. Most of us are eating sweets in life, but with a wrapper on. This wrapper is like the dissatisfaction of the past, which leads to distaste to the present. What happens when you, as an executive want to create a compelling future, there is a distrust to the future because you are the extension of the past, marching the present and projecting yourself into the future. This is the state of being in misery. You can convert scar into star. When you understand that you are a growing individual, and as a growing individual you are bound to make mistakes, but you have the wisdom that you are learning from the mistake or are not repeating the mistake. If you can learn, the magic of healing from the past happens.

Secondly, if you start meditating, you tiring in a higher Source of energy and that higher source of energy makes you learn from the experience in a very profound way. Mediation is the key to tap you to higher chakras. By understanding, through meditation you heal your Scar and then the scar becomes a star.

People who have gone through failures have depth in life. Whereas, people have never gone through failures, they may be happy, but there is no depth in them. You should be like ocean which has depth and also has the beauty of waves. Therefore, by understanding, through meditation heal your past, which will make you to be in the present. When you can enjoy the present, you are free to create a compelling future. When you are creating a compelling future, you will find the joy of creating a future and there are no more victims of bitterness. This is the secret to become a better individual and not the bitter individual.
