"If you work hard enough, You will get it" .........................and WHAT IF YOU DO ALL THE WORK AND STILL DON'T? who's fault is it then? Is it yours? Was there a lacking of effort from your side? could you have done something differently? or are you just a failure?
NO! NO! and surprise surprise NO!
As much as it is impossible to believe, it's true there is no one walking on this planet who doesn't work hard for the thing he wants dearly, but if everyone could get the result they deserved, the truth of life in itself would have been something different entirely but alas the truth remains the single solemn sentence LIFE IS NOT FAIR
Unfortunately, the deadliest threat to us humans is we have been since the beginning to time trained to value only the outside validation so much so that there many of us grow up and continue to live the most of our lives without any inner validation, to begin with, in the first place and from here stems the intense self-destroying frustration we tend to feel when faced with a failure because all the work we had done were for us to be successful or rather feel the success around us, and if the success is not there then what are we left in return of all the effort?
But for once, have we paused on our steps and told our minds currently extremely busy in its TED talk presentation on 100 REASONS WHY YOU SUCK, to just first of all SHUT UP and second of all think as to how much strong it is for putting the effort in the first place, thanked ourselves for giving it our best try? Success is not a goal it isn't even something YOU CAN ACHIEVE, it's the other name of external Validation, given to us based on how much we got done not on how much we worked hard. It's not a goal, it's variable therefore tell me something, in the long run, how much of this success of ours would actually matter? IT WILL TOO FADE AWAY
Okay too deep, I know I was thinking the same because up until now everything is seeming to be at the end pointless but I am alive and breathing so there must be a point to all of this right? RIGHT?
Hence I set on my endless journey into realities and imaginations to find that one point that would make my heart feel better and my mind come to peace, the journey was filled with blocks and hardships and there were moments when I felt perhaps I would never reach the answer until all of a sudden with the shuddering of lightning, it struck me: I AM ALIVE AND BREATHING that is the point.
shocking? YES I KNOW
The constant in this abnormal yet simple equation is just life itself if we are lucky enough to live through.
The success makes it neither drastically better nor exceptionally worse, it's just there in it.
Now let me give an alternate reality, where you put your heart and soul into trying to achieve something, and then you don't, you feel sorry at first then you feel proud of yourself for giving the effort and then you move on to the next.
Sounds nice right? I don't know about you but to me, this sounds like a very happy dream but is turning this alternate reality into the actual one really so very hard? Is getting internal validation quite literally impossible?
OK impossible: Nope difficult: Yes
The best thing you could do for yourself: Most DEFINITELY YES
Because see if you have to live through this life no matter what then why not make it a happy one?
