Do not let yourself stop before you go
A few months ago, I began a mind game with
myself, and it's called Define what you're scared of. Every day I take ten
minutes and think about what I'm afraid except of Scorpius, and I add some
fears to that list. At first they were typical human fears - loss of vision,
hearing and memory. I am not afraid of my own death because I'll be dead anyway
and it will definitely be worse for those who stay behind me.
My fear lies in panic thinking that one day
I will forget who I am, what I have been doing so far, who are the people who
made my life special. I thinking what if I can no longer plug headphones into
my ears and boost my Paradise City feeling like I'm sixteen and thinking what
if I do not remember one what I have been experiencing while waiting for those
movie moments that I thought were only possible in the heads of creative
scriptwriters. What if one day my
tattoos remain just a symbol of a time !?
These are all assumptions that if one day,
and yet at times we forget to ask ourselves what we fear - today? What are you
afraid now, this Sunday afternoon while mentally preparing yourself for the new
work week digesting Sunday lunch in the warmth of your own home? Nothing? Who
are you lying ... !?
Are you afraid to start practicing
tomorrow, because you know it will be painful after ten squats? Are you afraid
to start writing graduate studies because you know the college days are over?
Are you afraid to give up because you expect an uncertain period that is worse
than chronic dissatisfaction with your current job? Are you afraid that
everything will turn out just as you imagine?
Two years I have been writing and designing
articles for my blog, to present it to a few months ago. I have a feeling that
September was one hundred years ago, not just six months ago. The critical
question in my mind was whether I would find enough will to start something from scratch while I did not know where it was
going to take me!
And I think this question is a common
denominator of all of us who are afraid of success and are waiting for the
right moment to do something. Perfect moments just do not exist and we learned
this by listening to many gurus of quality living. There is a moment in which
we take responsibility so that we can ask what we will, if all goes to hell and
perish?
In the constant thinking of whether the
fear of success is worse than failing, we are struggling with the limits we set
ourselves instead of moving them constantly. For that reason, I went back to
the unknown again, I went back to testing and moving my own limits. Life no
longer has a general test, and every mental attempt at the start is condemned
to failure because when we think that we "try" we are only
opening up a great space for failure and
a sentence that we will say, and it reads: I knew that everything would go to hell
!
But do not be fooled by the fact that we
are only setting boundaries for ourselves, but the society is setting them up
with a preemptive and condescending look "what do you need that in life".
If I ever listened to the look I felt on my skin I would probably be sitting
with my granddaughter in front of the TV and watching Sunday at 2. There's
nothing bad about it or hanging out with your grandmother, but there is bad in
wasting your time, and such a hanging
out is a waste of time . Not every encounter with each person should be
motivating, inspiring, or productive, but it must not consist of a single point
in silence as Stankovic asks questions to the guest of the show.
And speaking of silence, I found myself in
the shopping center for a cup of coffee. Next to me a woman who is feeding a
child and her partner next to her who is playing mobile games. They sat at the
table before my arrival, and they sat while I was leaving. Everyone looking at
their own cell phone, she occasionally looks at the kid. Stillness. Maybe this
is just one of the bad days I caught them, but I was wondering to myself what
if that day was just a bad life sequence when we set the boundaries - in
education, in decisions, in the child's upbringing, in choosing a partner !?
Is it possible to feel tremendous every
other day by looking forward to what will happen the next day, positive tremor
when we are optimistically enrolling a new course, dancing classes ...?
Bad days can not be avoided because it
teaches us what it means to have good but the step in choosing stagnation
instead of progress is centimeter by centimeter closer to a bad life, which as
there is no general trial has no reprieve either.
So before all that goes to the hell and
falls, do not let it not even begin.
If you fail, you will fail in style of
attempts.
