One of the biggest weaknesses of my SIP project, has been that I have lacked clarity in my ideas and thoughts.
I have come to realise, through SIP, that when embarking on any task, my thought processes need to be absolutely clear. They need to be so clear that I can effortlessly explain them to another person. Ideally the end result of the task/ final product, should also be clear in my mind, however the most important thing is that there is a clear path.
When the clarity is there, the focus is there. When the focus is there, then the commitment can be strengthened and the process of achieving a goal can be more efficient.
However how can our thoughts be made clearer?
The answer, as with some of my other blog posts, lies in meditation. Stillness of the mind, deep interrogation and introspection. It requires an understanding of the motivation behind the task, a clear definition of the goal, and a method/ process of achieving that goal.
As I have mentioned, my biggest weakness has been my clarity of thought. However, as the SIP process as progressed I believed that my clarity of thought has improved, which has enabled me to work more efficiently. This has occurred through my daily practise of meditation, planning, and contact with other karyakartas and the members of the SIP team to guide me along the way.
