Make Malaysia GREAT:
Beware of Artificial
Boundaries!*
In our previous messages, we have stressed the
need for action and shared a belief system that can help make things happen. In
this advertisement, we would like to show you why so many fail to get things
done and achieve their potential. What and who is the enemy to action?
1. What is an Artificial
Boundary?
Artificial Boundary is an automatic response that happens at the mind level. It gives us what
seemingly sounds like a good reason NOT
TO TAKE ACTION. Simply put, when you want to go for a jog, your mind may
suggest that it might rain soon. The mind is capable of automatically creating
limitless artificial boundaries no matter who or where we are - age, gender,
origins, educational background, socio-economic status, political leanings,
ethnicity, religious affiliations, government policies, culture, traditions,
and history. Anything and everything that the mind can grab or use for inaction
– automatically!
2. Why are Artificial
Boundaries dangerous?
It is a default setting – in a split second,
it strikes us. Many are completely
unaware of this mechanism that governs our day-to-day living, habitually. So we
grow old not doing, not achieving. As we get older, we feel uneasy in our
hearts – something is wrong somewhere but we cannot pinpoint what, where, why
and how. Deep within, we wonder if we have short-changed our lives. The less
conscious become bitter old men and women – angry with the world. Artificial
Boundary strikes them again and again in a spiral of inaction.
3. How to avoid
Artificial Boundaries?
Consciousness. Firstly, be mindful and
recognise its presence in our daily lives. Be constantly aware when it happens
and act against it – by taking action.
Better still be vigilant and stop it before
it strikes us by learning to separate between real boundaries and artificial
ones. How to stop it before it strikes
us? That is the topic to discuss in our next advertisement during Wesak.
At zubedy, our programs and activities draw
strength from our shared values and traditions. We believe that at heart, all
Malaysians want good things for themselves and for their brother and sister
Malaysians, simply because our nation cannot prosper as a whole if some of us
are left behind.
You and I, must be aware and avoid Artificial
Boundaries and Make Malaysia GREAT.
Let us add value,
Have a Meaningful Vaisakhi.
