Time to Wake up

Mind can be said to have 2 layers. The Conscious Mind, where we do active thinking and decision making and the Sub-conscious mind, which is like a deep ocean. Our instincts are buried in the trenches and control our waking life. All your decisions are affected by this sub-conscious mind, which in itself is in a deep slumber, yet defines every bit of what who we are.

Imagine being alone in a huge luxury cruise ship, which sails on its own in the vast ocean. You feel just like a lone passenger, unable to do anything, but free to enjoy the luxuries of this ship. You don’t have a say on the direction, but you are free to indulge. After all, who doesn’t enjoy luxuries. But these perks are not free, these comes at the cost of your Potential.

Those who awaken, realise, that they are not a passenger. They are indeed the Captain of this ship. The ships bows to their command. They control the direction, the speed, and reach their destinations of choice. They discover the power to tame their sub-conscious, and thus write their own Destiny.

Yes, Destiny- it means the destinations you go to in your life!

So, What are you?

Captain or a Passenger?
