Student of Redefinition

Posted on October 31, 2008May 2, 2025 by Shazia Javed

In his free e-book entitled “The Place called Zero”, Jonathan mentions Shafin saying, “You know, it’s amazing how a lot of wonderful things can happen when you are at zero.”

He also mentions him explaining that “Zero is where you have nothing more to loose. It’s the edge. People go to the edge to either fall and die or to learn to fly …”

Shafin’s amazingly true in saying something I am a living manifestation of. In his words, I am a student of redefinition – “A student of redefinition is someone who constantly redefines himself, his surroundings, the world he lives in, his reality … for the better. Someone who knows that he was sent to this training ground called earth not just to survive and replicate, but to create.”

And, see, here I am creating my own reality!

This bracelet with lovely sapphires is a small effort in this regard. I bought it on the 31st of October on my way back to home from work, with an intention of wearing it as long as I can and/or the need be, as a constant reminder of following three resolutions:

– Maintain your seraphic grace
– Be the magic that make things happen
– Never give up on your own self

These are very interesting and beautiful resolutions I have ever made. But, I will not talk about them right now.

I’ll write about my resolutions, progress on redefinition, effectiveness of resolution bracelet, and many other interesting graceful things in future. As Shafin would say, “Now make the world a little better today.” – it is time to sign off and do something constructive.

Meanwhile, think beautiful, stay beautiful!
