clarity in calmness

A night when there exists two moons, a night where there exist two skies. All the happenings can be dissected and separated into the specific description of a scent, the sharpness of the objects around you, the feint noises of far away rustles. This picture of calmness can be classified as such by the lack of interruption, the smoothness and detail of the descriptions and the consistency of the feelings.

A calm person's presence can be felt and sensed by the way they act, walk, look and their demeanor. These type of people can be also found when people can clearly foresee the different outcomes of a situation, and hence have control over their reactions.

In life, working class people are used to working in stressful environments, having deadlines, meetings and changing plans. People get their jobs with a mandate to perform. This performance which they keep up to do their work or even do more than their work can be stressful. Stress is a good thing in a situation which requires results, as the stress makes you mind and body more reactive to working.

I believe however that this sharpness of the mind and body can also be achieved when a person is calm. As i said above, when a person is calm, they tend to take notice of more detail around them and process this information with better accuracy since they are working to the capabilities of their bodies. It is understood that not everyone has the same capabilities, yet, we can all be calm. We find that there are people who seem to work better under pressure and this may be true, however this make for an excuse for the person to carry out their work at the very last minute since that's when the pressure would be.

When i have a lot of things on my mind happening at the same time, i feel it difficult to focus on a single thing and carry it out properly as i always start thinking about the other stuff. This is when i feel like i cannot do enough and handle everything at once time. I used to do art in school, and found that i could be at it for many hours concentrating, and at the same time it brought my thoughts in line. That is only a single way of many we can use to find some type of calmness.

As a calm person, i feel we can gain control of situation and work more efficiently. A calm person listens, calculates before they act. We should strive for this.
