Did Not See That Coming
Quite oddly as I reignite my blog ambition I wonder if it is out of pure boredom or maybe after some nice and long quiet time (COVID-19 induced isolation) have I decided to come back to the pen and paper. It was during one of my recent chats that I actually discovered that the only inhibitors to people’s general success by any definition of it, is lack of action. I tell you I am a master at writing down lists trying to categorize and break it all down into tiny little tasks, which should be on some hand be easily doable. That said I really never come down to do most of the stuff well not consciously, I guess the overthinking comes into play trying to be a perfectionist of sort.
Wait a min I did write an article about this? Maybe, but am not going to go back and take a peek (good for continuity though). Am writing mainly cause a thought entered my head during my quiet time well particularly as I was trying to meditate and later on invoked by a chat I was having. Basically, its quite easy to see the lives of others through the our seemingly microscopic vision, but when it come to our own life, we really need a mirror or maybe an entirely out of body experience. We fail to do the things we set out to do and this just me thinking (well writing) out loud because we fear self-judgement, yes self-judgement; yep the kind we pass around daily to be it our keen or peers or fellow human. Deep down we realise that we pass such a high moral standard against others heckling at their existence setting such high bars that when it comes down to it we ourselves cant achieve and this self-judgement or just the dread of it pass us into inaction or paralysis (and this isn’t of no analysis)
So am wondering to myself course I once went through a spell or stress over not being able to have achieved high bar standards and the self-judgement was weigh on me when I realised its actually not a bad thing at all, in fact, this is the whole source of our continual nature to self-improve. And instead of dreading it we should embrace it so that we become better versions of ourselves. We should leave others be who they want to be (well in that meditative state) I also realised at some point trying to push your ideals on to people will lead you down a whole lot more stressful and unhappy life. We can let people know in essence they are in some sort of error but the best way is to show people by actions it is the kindest form of rebuke and if they so choose to continue down a certain path sometimes you were not meant to change them.
While we do plan a lot for our future we should not be too dismayed or stressed that things didn’t go our way I mean COVID-19 such a devastating virus that is actually being fought not by coming together but actually staying away from each other and life in general. I think and with no disrespect to many that have lost loved ones it’s a way for the world to actually pause a bit and have a fresh perspective on things surely life will be changed after this, plan disrupted goals not met but really it's just all ok. The most important thing is to be alive and just appreciate that. Of all the precautions humanity has taken a virus that no one saw coming [or did they] should not spell the end to it all, I mean like come on.
EDIT my blog title and contents dont relate, will try fix it. Laaaaater!
