True Calling
In a year long, there are sure to be months of goodness, months of so-so and then the months of ‘suey-ness’ for everyone. Just like shares market, the outlook is so uncertain. Nobody knows what going to happen next. It shot up for a moment, and then the next thing it plunged down.
Even for someone who’s being perceived a happy go lucky, optimist all year rounder will also face downtimes. Are they truly happy inside as tally as it shown on the face? Maybe.
Many many years ago, someone suggested paying a visit to psychiatrist if you found yourself often encounter breaking down moments, can’t help but crying at situations. It seems no big deal, who hasn’t cried before? Guys, perhaps less frequent or they just never show.
Crying is just another method of releasing all the sorrow, anger or tensions one kept inside their heart. And when the moment is intolerable, they shed tears, scream, go drinking or even do silly things; to be able to lose in time momentarily.
But recently to my discovery, I realize that an anemic person can easily fall into depression. And that explain why one has such a split of personality occasionally.
No matter what, life still carries on. When you sit down and think about your life, think about this: the question is not what or why, but how are you going to live?
If you ask me, it’s a sure thing I’d reply, “having a happy and fulfilling life.” A fulfilling life is passion driven and a big part of that life derives from the thing that you do. It doesn’t matter what the thing is. What matters is the passion that you have behind it and that you put into it. The same applies for the rest of your life.
One cannot compare to another person, because we are all individuals. Someone can have a big dream and is working toward it, getting rich for instance. A person who works so hard, day and night to succeed having a bigger setup, to get more money for the family, to afford a better lifestyle; these are good, but also comes at sacrifices. So, if one chooses to live in the other way around, no dreaming to become rich (day-dreaming excluded, haha), but as long as satisfactorily, there’s actually no wrong to it. You see, different people just have different needs and wants.
It all comes down to “How are you going to live?”
When was the last time you woke up in the morning and were really excited about the thing that you’re about to do? If the thing that you do is diminishing your ability to live an abundant life rather than adding to it, it is time to make a change.
Sometimes change can be particularly painful; it’s a natural reaction to resist. But sometimes the most painful lessons are the ones that have the most benefit in the long run.
Think about it. Times change, and people change. If a path feels like a struggle, is part of the struggle because it’s not the right path for you? Then, it is time to develop an exit plan and finding something else that has more meaning for you.
Stay true to yourself.
