Welcome to Self Transcendence

“Hello Everyone!!!”…
It looks like an output of you first java program…doesn’t it? And it is giving me the same satisfaction too!!! Seeing my first blog published is no less satisfying that seeing your first java program work…!!! If you are from a non-computer/non-programming background and don’t understand what I mean here…don’t bother…just read on… ;)

To start with, first I would like to thank a zillion to my friend dipti (find her writings at dipsrandommusings) who has inspired me to start my own blog.

What follows is a brief introduction to me and my blog… My first assignment in school was not much different than this…I still remember my first grade teacher asking me to write 5 sentence composition on “Myself”…Am sure you must have been through similar exercises too…And since then we learn to introduce ourselves on all our “first days” in school, college, university classes and offices. Interestingly though, this definition of yourself keeps changing with age and times…Introductions are all about how we perceive ourselves and how we want others to perceive us…Some definitions of yourself that you want others to know and others which you feel are better kept to self than announced…How we identify ourselves is also not very simple…Who you are and what you want in life are two questions that one should keep asking himself/herself all the time. I firmly believe that these two factors help you to lead a successful and satisfying life...

Who you are?
I know how to identify myself when I am in office, at a party, when I am with colleagues and when I am with friends or relatives. Who I am at my innermost level of conscience is what I am trying to find through my blog. I would try to write my thoughts down and try to understand me through various things I use to define myself. In day-to-day life and in your routine, there go so many things that are left unthought-of, thought of but not identified, identified but not expressed. So many things about yourself that you may want to know…discover. I am trying to voice them here…You are welcome to join me in this process and then in turn discover yourself too…

What you want?
Unless one is clear about what they want, life is directionless. What I want and how I can accomplish what I want….Some needs that need to be addressed…Some needs that need to be discovered while you are discovering yourself…The most common need is the strive for improvement…Improvement in whatever they do is what most of us would like to have…Ability to earn more money, earn money faster, work faster, run faster, talk better, listen more, read more, dance better, sing better, cook better, have a better house…and it goes on and on…everybody needs some improvement…This I call is “Self Transcendence”. Though self transcendence is something people usually refer to in theological and spiritual sense only…many people like me have extended this thought to think of it as the process of self discovery and betterment.

So welcome to Self Transcendence...
