Words has Eyes!!

I had a friend in college, whose first name is same as mine. I always use to make fun of his glasses like you better watch out while walking/doing, you have too many blind spots, ..etc

And when I'm with friends we all make fun of his eye sight, since he is short sighted, he can't see things very far. But irrespective of his shortage, he is a very good cricket player, I would say he is the best bowler in our college.

It was that age, we never really cared much. Later after 15 years, when I took my 5 year old son to hospital to check his Vision, I literally cried when I learnt my 5 year old has to wear glasses to have a proper 20:20 vision.

I know for sure my son's vision impact is due to some genetic reasons or vitamin deficiency or some unknown things. But somedays I think its bcos of my attitude towards my friend, which has taught me a lesson?

Never realized at young age, how words are so powerful. Even now unknowingly I use words which can sometimes becomes real. So learning to better use proper words and also not to tease anyone or hurt anyone with even words bcos words are so powerful and it has eyes!!

You are what you do repeatedly

How to change a pattern. I have a habbit of liking the number 7 or 3, so whatever I do, I try to associate with number 7 or 3.

Like adding 3 spoons of sugar in my coffee, running 7 miles per hour on my thread mill before cool down, drinking water in multiples of 3 sips.. I  know its weird, but I assume there are few people like me who can't get rid of patterns. Infact everyone and everything has patterns.

You can notice artists have a pattern or a signature mark in all their work. Authors, Directors, Chefs, almost every professionals follow a pattern. As the saying goes Universe follows a pattern.

Now some patterns are easy to follow, but some are not. Its really impossible to start any new occassions like job, travel..etc on 3rd or 7th day of a month or parking your car always on a 3rd floor or 3rd spot or even book a room on a 3rd floor.

When I came across these words "You are what you do repeatedly" I could easily relate my doings with who I'm now.

Once I pay attention to what I do consciously I could change my patterns, though change happens in small circles, the Magic sentence "You are what you do repeatedly" helps one to make a change.
