Patterns and Imperfections

Patterns exist everywhere in nature, as do imperfections. You can find patterns in music beats, water ripples, the glare of sun rays, tree trunks, flower petals, human fingerprints, and the moon. These are also reflected in human behaviour. For instance, how a person reacts to a situation or responds to the outcome of an event is closely based on the adaptation of patterns in their natural behaviour. This synchronisation is fixed from within. The key ingredients of any pattern are familiarity, repetition, exclusivity, and discipline. Any motivational book on success will also recommend these four ingredients in some form or another.

When you are in sync with the energies of nature, you tend to develop clearer and more exclusive patterns. This is the same reason most of us are stuck in a loop of our problems and fail to understand growth or moving forward in life. You repeat the same thoughts, habits, and actions, falling into the vicious cycle of the same imperfect pattern. Growth smiles when you break your imperfect patterns and adapt to better ones. For instance, you may have recently started waking up early in the morning, thereby breaking your old pattern of staying up late at night. Similarly, now you don't respond aggressively to a triggering situation but handle it better with calmness and ease. Almost every minor change you make in your personal life is breaking an imperfect pattern and moving you toward the refined energies of the universe.

The concepts of discipline and excellence are deeply rooted in these adaptations. Synchronisation with them will enhance your abilities and skills. The more refined patterns you develop, the closer you move toward the top percentile group of the human hierarchy.

You may have noticed one common trait in the top 1% of every group, organisation, or institution, be it law, medicine, sports, or politics. The difference between the top 1% and the remaining 99% is the adaptation of patterns and imperfections. Although absolute perfection is as sweet a dream as success, human aspiration tends to lead toward becoming better.

The scale in life is not as steep as it seems. You just have to keep hustling, identifying your imperfections, and breaking the patterns while you are still human.
