When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. it works not because it settles the question for you, but because in that brief moment when the coin is in the air, you suddenly know what you are hoping for.
The split second decision has changed many people and companies.
How many of us make decisions by tossing the coin? No one is going to judge you, neither any one will call you frivolous because most of us do take risks and make decisions with that gutt instinct . But then how many live to agree that the decision was made in that moment?
People say "Opportunity knocks very quietly" or "Opportunity does not come twice" or "Other name for opportunity is hard work" i can go on writing these lines by which we have termed split second decision into opportunity. We get these opportunites on daily basis, how many live in the moment to realise these opportunities which can change our decisions and way of life?
Our mind wants to rule, be the master, power driven and obviously we, over time become slaves. Its strange when one watches people, you can actually see strength of mind over soul. Listless eyes, head bowed down , lost in thoughts or now days checking messages on phone , no smile , no interaction with fellow beings and we all head to work. Looks more like robotic movements to me. Its sad we are also making our children our split images. There was a time when children used to be out playing, full of life but now a days they are glued to their computer, tv, play station name it all technology savvy children but no interaction with the world.
The fun of interacting with fellow beings, sharing ideas, smiling and greeting used to be our way of life, what changed all this. Now a days the coin is not tossed but information is gathered via google to assimilate all options and then come to a decision. What happened to the risk takers? I am glad atleast in certain sports we have still got the coin toss to decide the beginning of the game.
I am old school, my decision making is not via google but by talking to people. After i have gathered all information, i pull out my lucky coin , always stays in my wallet, and most of my life decision were made tossing it. Strangely in that brief moment when the coin is up in the air my foggy mind becomes clear and i know what i want and even more strangely some how the coin and me are connected and the winning toss happens. I will say 8 out of 10 times we have thought the same in the split second and the 2 times i have let go of the choice in front of me has been good for me in long run. We all live our choices and bear the consequences of our choices.
Meditation comes in many forms, its always that split second where our soul surfaces and we can see multi dimensions. It's the meditative mind which can let go, its the soul which shows us the way and it takes courage to be who we need to be. Our patterns and mindset become fixed with time. The creation of man, TIME has all in its grip. Change can happen any where, any time. Yet we choose to believe differently.
My famous line while tossing the coin is " Heads i win, tails you loose"
Its all about perspective and in the end what matters is that you followed your heart.
Let the game of life begin...
