This was my state of mind a month back. This is how I expressed it.Mind is a mysterious thing. Everything happens undercover. Battles are won and battles are lost. At a stage when you have to make choice between attainable and unattainable, moral and benefit, following and leading; one reaches a state of Cognitive dissonance. You are pulled in all directions by conflicting thoughts. This is when you start discovering yourself. This is when you start developing and exploring - exploration of oneself versus the options that we have.In this process, our mind is searching for some consonance. This is when you start weighing your options versus your desires and reach a decision. For some its time to say, ‘Life is cool’, ‘Take a chill pill’ or ‘take things as they come’. For some this becomes a motivational drive. Motivational drive to reduce the dissonance by either denying the facts/ truth, justifying or blaming.In fact, every minute in our life we are at constant Cognitive dissonance. This is what keeps us moving ahead in life.Keep thinking !
