Stuck

Have you ever been in a situation whereby you feel like the world is coming to an end?

Now is perhaps the time where probably 99% of the world’s population is having the same feeling.
Job is unstable.
Government funding is ending.
Commitments are still commitments.
The virus is violently attacking.
You are stuck.

Human brains love to play tricks. It is normal to be worried when the numbers are unstable. This is true in all areas. It is true in the stock markets. It is true in the financial reports. It is true in the health reports. It is true in utilities supply. It is also true in the COVID-19 cases. Everything in this world is connected, whether or not we acknowledge it.

This is not the time to be worried. Perhaps it is easier said than done.

If 1% of the world’s population can do it, why not you? Why do you have to be amongst the 99%, and not the 1%? Why do you have to be the norm when you know you are special? Why do you limit yourself when your mind can be broad?

Everything we believe is everything that is true to us. It does not matter what everyone else thinks of us.
If your mind is strong, you will be able to influence the people around you.
If your mind is weak, you will be influenced by the people around you.
Ask yourself, who do you want to be?
The INFLUENCER, or be influenced?

There is no right or wrong in any decision.
There is no true or false in any statement.

This is not just an opinion, it is a fact. What you see as true today may be false tomorrow. It is all about the situation at that point of time. If everything were to remain unchanged for a hundred years, this world would be a super boring place. Would you still like to live in it? Or would you want to create some colours to brighten up the grey?

Even great scientists like Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein who are considered the masters of equations go through the same process of life as us. They do make mistakes, not because they are wrong but because the technology back then only permitted them to go so far. If they were still alive today, they would have corrected their own equations with technology backing up their claims.

If great people can have setbacks, what makes us think that we are right all the time? Nobody is ever right or wrong all the time. People always learn from other people or through experience. Schools are created for this purpose, to educate the young to become a better generation. What our ancestors have gone through, we can have the shortcut.

However, never forget that time changes too. As the world grows, strategies can alter. If you are still contained in your old way of thinking, you will be left behind. Are you willing to be that 99% being left behind? Or are you ready to become that 1% of leaders to make the world better?

There are many ways to make your dreams come true. There is always the experience everything yourself way. This is the most conservative way. Your parents have thought you to be slow and steady and so you follow. Your parents told you that certain ways are too risky and you halt. You may not realize it but your parents have already instilled into you their values of life. You have been following instructions for way too long and you have forgotten that you are responsible for your own life. What will happen if one day your parents are no longer around to guide you?

You have already been brought up. You are an adult. You have to make decisions on your own. You can listen to the opinions of your parents, but you do not have to follow their ways. Challenge yourself to path your own way. You may be at a loss right now but you still have your parents to cherish. Never ever wait until one fine day, when you are left alone.

Life is short. If you feel stuck today, seek for answers and you will create your own path.

 

But there was a difference between being stuck and choosing to stay. Between being found and finding yourself.
