THE ART OF RESPONDING !

"For every action, there is an Equal and Opposite Reaction." is the law of motion of an object with Masses, Accelerations and Forces. But for the E-MOTION (the movement of affect and feelings) that every living being endures, there cannot be an equal and opposite reaction for every action. Reactions can be heightened or reduced.

Yet, Every Action can still be Answered...... through A RESPONSE.

Psychology and Behavioral Sciences say that the CHEMICALS IN OUR BRAIN REACT, FOR WHICH WE HAVE TO RESPOND to the situation and not re-act to it.

Again, How can one respond? The groundwork of responding is AWARENESS i.e being aware that one is provoked at the moment (internally or externally).Tracking the awareness of where it leads the thoughts to. This is also the key to prevent overthinking.

Response is about INFORMATION. An Exceptional response will have Exceptional information in it. The information that is significant to sort out the issue. To find out that one needs to be conscious of the current thoughts and the latent ones. To catch out the latent thoughts one needs to be Open and have a judgement free view.

THE SENSE OF CONSEQUENCES. The spectacular skill of Anticipating and Estimating the consequences of one's behavior is at hand in every one's mind but provisional factors cloud and prevents one from analyzing certain notions and views. With this sense one can ponder on the impact of the response.

Now, How can one process all these during the heat of the moment? will be a valid and sensible question .The Most Astounding organ of all the time THE BRAIN, is capable of all the processes that is previously mentioned. It all takes a milli second just to call up the mind to get the consciousness to Pause for a moment to Process. Rest of the processes grows with experience and practice.

BRAIN is the Supreme Authority in the body that is accessible at any time but giving access to it lies in our hands, The access is failed at times when the power is given to External Components and it eventually overpowers the internal authority.

THE ONE THING THAT CONSTITUTES A MASTERMIND IS THE ART OF RESPONDING, chiefly during compelling and crucial circumstances where one's insights and comprehensiveness about the World and the Self is TRULY TESTED (this is a deeper point than it sounds ).

Every action can be equally and oppositely Reacted or Responded. YOU ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE.
