What ticks your Pulse?

Ever seen a ECG? For those of us who don't know about this little machine here's a little intro.

" It is a device used to map the electrical activity of the patient's heart.". It records the pulse in Peaks and falls, the science of following voltage drops. Apart from this scientific Nugget you may already know that your heart rate is a direct measure of your emotions.

The falls are usually result of depressive activities and emotions which you feel, similarly peaks are resultant of happiness and positive emotions...but more than both of them it reacts to a bigger emotion.

FEAR....

You might say that fear directly reduces what is called heart beat, but i request you to go back in time a bit when you felt fear. You must have had trouble in breathing with that giddy feeling in your lungs which made youfeel like your lungs suddenly were made of sponge letting air pass through its pores in a weird uncomforting manner, your body suddenly feeling like a larvae, so delicate and you just felt out of your control.

For the braver of sorts, this stage usually kicks in what is universally called Attitude but also it is called Adrenaline.

That's one emotion your heart rate peaks to and its beyond your control. So when did your adrenaline peaked up the last time? As we grow fear becomes inherent to us, because we simply gain a lot, even though not in a material form but emotionally we become one with our Lives. then intentionally or unintentionally we begin to lose fun in adventurism or simply we don't have enough time.

Adrenaline to most people is jumping off cliffs or diving into a pool of sharks, as that is what is essentially portrayed in TV shows of today which test "fear". Reality is that you would have felt that same rip in your "Pants of bravery" when you went ahead and talked in your "Wittiest" way to the girl you had been eyeing. You also would have felt the same feeling when you let out a fart in a silent zone, thinking and wishing no one to point the sound or smell. Jokes apart the adrenaline rush is actually not your Loyal assistant which comes when you want, there's no control over it unless you know yourself in the truest sense and start loving that fear, but thats another topic for another occasion.

We're here to talk about what pumps that adrenaline in you? is it good? Or is it worthless?

Raghu ram once said that To live your life you can have 2 ways "Lead a safe and secure life" or "rise up to every challenge you get.". That's the only difference that makes you either Love the adrenaline or hate it. You might say that winning or losing due to that rush makes it worth it or not worth it, but that's your way of seeing it. We have politicians who actually get the same rush seeing Porn under the table in the Sessions of our System so i think everyone has their own point of view after all.

It can't be proven good or bad, but biologically it is said to emit positive emotions into our bloodstream so technically it has got a proof but hey its your choice to love it or hate it. So how well do you know yourself on this issue?

Finally what does pump that Blood in your stream? Reckless Adventure? Passion? Your boss?

I think i have told you the 3 extremes there can be on this issue. You can close your eyes and Run like a blind man or paraglide through the Himalayas.

You can become what pays a lot or become what you want to be and love that thing anyhow.

Or you can accept fate and consider yourself stuck in a hard life between a even harder place and a unbreakable rock.

The only think not left to your choice is, to decide.

Your decision might not just change your perception of life, it might inspire someone in need. A student who is stuck between a world half of which says that marks are no basis to measure a man and the other which counts 100% cut-offs.

A husband frustrated of not getting the option to be mad and reckless even after marrying and having children, because his madness might "upset' the Home.

A man from a small village, trying to make big amongst the "city" folks. Knowing very well that he might lack the Verbal attitude that throws people way ahead in the game.

Adrenaline takes your mind off the unnecessary. Adrenaline makes you forget the Pressure. Adrenaline gives you an identity in your own eyes, telling you that you might not need anyone else to define your Life.

It might not be in your control but it will always be your choice to go beyond what is Fear.

Think wisely, where you would want to head the next time you get that itching for a holiday, just make sure you do go. Life happens.
