Concentration

Am sure such things happen to others as well.. But today it happened so many times that I HAD to vent out!
It has been a while since I updated myself with English pop.. Was hunting online for latest songs and hit upon a song I liked..played it and got back to work..Maybe it was half hour or so I went back to the website playing and saw that it had already played 5-6 songs further and I hadnt realized the playlist advancing. (By mistake, I had heard 5-6 bad songs as well)

Played the first song again from the beginning of the playlist.. Maybe 20 mins later realize that I never enjoyed the song coz I didnt remember hearing it. Played again from the beginning of the playlist, got back to work and half hour later, same story.. Didnt remember any of the songs playing.. Seemed like I 'heard' something in the ear but never 'listened' to the song. Before long, I think it repeated about 5 times in a row.

Now that is what I call concentration! Very recently I heard a lecture about 'FLOW' and a state of enjoyment when a person is really liking what he is doing. It is his/her passion and is involved in it. It is said that he is in a state of FLOW. It could be a person playing a piano, work, climbing, sports, research or anything for that matter.. That is another topic for another day.

Anyway, I am always amazed about the brain and its capacity to isolate things. We should use it positively to put the past behind, plan for the future and worry about just the present. Live life to the fullest.. Hats off to the creator..
