There are many dimensions to everything in our life.Starting from the basics,to our most complex thoughts and decisions.What are dimensions,you may ask?Dimensions have same meaning everywhere,but different interpretations.Our physical world is 3d-3 dimensional.These days,a raging debate is on whether time should also be considered as a fourth dimension or not.
But,the dimensions we are talking about here are a bit more personal in nature.I am referring to our inner dimensions,the various facets of our thoughts,feelings,actions,personality etc.As I mentioned before in this article,even your most basic actions have multiple dimensions to them.For example,consider the decision of choosing your attire for the day each morning.As you stand in front of your open wardrobe,surveying the clothes in front of your eyes,what are the thoughts that traverse your mind and ultimately shape and fix your decision?Maybe,your personal preferences,your friends's feedbacks,your competitor's wardrobe,what you wore yesterday etc.So,to take a decision which you may consider very trivial,you imbibed your,your friends's,your competitor's,and your peers's psychlogies.If you have been reading avidly till now,you must have gotten the point I am trying to make.
Our personality consists of many dimensions as well.We may behave in a given situation in a specific manner,and in another situation,in a different way.These dimensions shape our image in the minds of the people with whom we interact,and,in most cases,they shape our own image of ourselves too.
Now,why did I say 'in most cases'?Because,in some cases(like mine),the self image,the self esteem is built on our interpretation of our own actions.This does not mean that,while introspecting,you give your mistakes and weaknesses a blind eye and just glorify your plus points.That can be very dangerous,for yourself only,trust me.
Introspection is a process which has been grossly misinterpreted by us.I can staunchly hold this fact because I had a very nasty image of introspection.Whenever somebody told me to introspect,I literally winced,as someone had dealt me a physical blow.It's not my fault,introspection is used as a punishment more than a self realization process.But,introspection is a mode in which there is a world.And that world is completely your own.You can design anything,roam anywhere,and discover yourself in a better way.Try it,atleast once.
Okay,I am ranting.But we needed all the above stuff to go deeper into our discussion.
Please watch out for my next post continuing our discussion
