Norm, Normal and Normality...

A state of mind where things happen like Creativity, serenity, and survival.

Earth, rotates a little faster or little slower; won't survive for long. Its the only way things are what they are supposed to be in order to 'be'...

I remember the time when I started learning Bike riding I only learnt how to accelerate initially and Brakes never got my attention that much, but soon I realized its the combination of Brakes and Accelerator that would make my ride smooth and easy. All of us who ride bikes know this rule that there has to be the brake pedal pushed down a bit, and just a bit to allow the bike to accelerate in first few moments of the ride and be used again and again when you required to be riding a bit slower than usual.

The same rule for automatic vehicles. The brakes are what moderate our rides smoother.

The same thing goes for our life, be it social or professional. Its important to know the pace required; and the same goes for our communication and interaction with fellow earthians to be on the state of norm.

Being Muslim myself I have learnt that 'Islam' is the word rooted from 'Salm' meaning peace or norm. It was also very interesting to know that the Word that comes exactly in the middle of "The Holy Qur'an" is itself means 'Norm'… no wonder, since the life of a Good Muslim and a Good Human revolves around that.

Its pivotal to understand that Norm is not the absence of Hard or Soft... Its the balance of the both.

For every human being on this earth has been designed and wired completely different, so a Norm of one Person cannot be ideal for the other. Try and imagine an artist whose art is to balance things on each other, you would observe that he doesn't use the same stone in size or weight to balance a chair and a table. Rather he uses as per required by that items itself due to its size and weight.

Living is not a page of stone-chiseled rules, its an Art. That is why its subjective to every one of us. There is an old saying that 'in order to live happy you must find your center'. And that's exactly how you find balance in your life, by locating simply your Centre. Which in turn requires you to move yourself down in, from your flesh and bones to the Soul. I read some place that in order to understand others or the outside, first you need to master your awareness of your own soul which is hidden in you.

reach your center to achieve your norm.

Peace.
