At times it is better to step back. The best way to settle the muddied water is to do nothing. Just step back and let it settle. When it does settle down the view becomes clear.
A cluttered mind is the same as the muddy waters. To solve the problem of a cluttered mind, you do NOTHING – you step aside and let it be. With time, the disturbances will settle down on their own and you will get a clear and calm mind. The process of calming the mind is effortless. It happens on its own.
However, what you do need to do is step back. Stepping back helps you look at things from a different perspective. Always remember, measuring your success is as important as the action you are taking. Stepping back allows reflecting if both are in sync or not.
Avoid rushing through, for haste makes waste. Nothing ever in life is linear. Life moves back and forth, up and down. In such cases stepping back helps to analyze and realize the mistakes you are making. It is time to introspect and understand what exactly are you trying to achieve and if you are on the right track or not.
Taking time out is never wasted. Rather it helps you to understand what is it that you are doing right, where are you going wrong, what is working and what is not. You get a clear picture of which way you are heading to. It also makes it very clear whether you really want to head that way or not.
Taking a step back for reflection actually helps you take two steps forward. Always remember, an arrow is always released from the stretched bow. Stepping back is actually stepping forward, in a better way for a better life. Stepping back is understanding the big picture and transforming yourself.
