A monk goes out on a boat in a small lake to meditate. After a few hours of uninterrupted silence, he suddenly feels the jarring impact of another boat bumping into his.

While he does not open his eyes, he feels the irritation and anger building within him.
"Why would someone do that? Can't they see me here? How dare they disturb my meditation?"

He opens his eyes, ready to shout at the person in the other boat, only to realize that it is empty. It had come untied from the dock and was floating in the middle of the lake.

In that moment, his anger and frustration disappears. After all, you cannot be angry at an empty boat.

The story offers a powerful lesson, which is called the Empty Boat Mindset:
In life, you're going to experience countless collisions. With people. With environments. With chance circumstances outside your control.

Each of these collisions will threaten to derail you. To stoke the fire of anger, stress, and frustration. To knock vou off vour path.

The truth is that the negative emotions that grow inside you are rarely from the collision itself, but from your perception of the negative intent behind the collision.
If you convince yourself that every collision is a deliberate action by a bad actor, negative emotions will control your entire life.

In others words, your interpretation of the collision creates your own poison.
The Empty Boat Mindset is the reminder that most of these collisions you experience in life are with an empty boat. There is no negative intent.

There is no desire to harm. They are simply the random collisions of objects floating along on the lake of life.
Interestingly, when you embrace the Empty Boat Mindset, you reassume control over your own boat.

You're no longer prone to the spiraling emotional effects of chance collisions. You are a seasoned explorer, ready to adapt to whatever the seas throw your way.

BROKEN SUPERSTAR : Part 1
Do we remember the best that later turned mediocre or even the worst? Do we sometimes recall those glory days of ours friends, relatives, career, companies, organisations, etc.

There are shining days, there are days when we are superstars, there are days when we are on the top, celebrated, shine, achieve extra ordinary feats and the success odds are just on our side. These are the glorious days and time and chance seem to happen to us all.

If we are to recall in our lives, we have some moments we were superstars and we still have more moments to shine and be superstars. The greatest worry is for how long do we remain on top, being celebrated, shining and being superstars. We are also scared and worried about how we all handle our glorious or superstar moments.

Maybe you have just won the national award, how do you handle the award? How do you behave after the award? Shall you continue winning those awards or even more and better?

Maybe you have launched a new and top notch innovation, the question is how long shall it remain top-notch? Many a time we tend to be misled, think highly of ourselves, look down upon others, change behaviours, friends & associations etc.

We have seen some former celebrated personalities later being bankrupt, broken, in poverty and in a very low position than they used to be. We have seen some wealthy organisations and individuals later filing for insolvency and bankruptcy. We have seen former wealthy families later turning into poverty usually after the demise of the former wealth creators.

We have seen former strong institutions being later reduced into mediocre and worse ones. We have seen former academic excellent students performing poorly and even failing in academics. We have seen records being set and broken day by day and year by year.

Being a superstar today does not mean you will be a superstar forever, superstars are made and broken all the time. Once being a superstar in any field you can always prolong and maintain your superstar moments for quite long.

Many people have short lived super star moments mainly because they fail to maintain, nurture and grow their glorious moments. There are many reasons why we get our glorious moments to be short lived and what you can do to maintain and prolong the glorious and superstar moments.
