I remember in a post long ago i would say that this blog was like my pensieve (Harry Potter reference). A place where I can lay rest to all my thought's. Well....not all of my thoughts. Otherwise well be having an article about spongebob squarepants riding a sea unicorn fighting thanos at a poke centre........damn that is a movie concept.
Personally I have never been a fan of motivation videos. They'll be just someone yelling at you "Life is this! You can! Go! Run! Do this! Work! Work! Work!" So at one point you'll be like "Slow down Rihanna! Stop telling me what to do! I won't listen! I'm going to go take a swim in self pity and then watch some Grey's anatomy"
So you cant exactly call this motivation. You can say this just as how I feel.
Now when when we are asked to introduce ourselves we would say stuff like "I'm a fun loving....optimistic...never give up guy" blah blah. But are we really that? I personally feel that its the situations which one faces which determine who you are.
OPTIMISM-
Everyone loves to admit that they are positive thinkers. That is the best mentality of life. I feel that when we are in a happy situation or when everything is normal we are bound to think happy. But then a time comes when all hell has broken loose, the world has been crashed down on him and he is brought down to his knees. There is nothing but silence (or maybe a small violin noise playing in the background)
In that moment if that person wipes his tears and gives a stupid smile and a terrible joke like "Now I know how it feels to be an England football fan" That is someone who can say they are optimistic. To have a positive in the most saddest of times.
To find a way when it looks like all the routes are blocked
Now I suppose that this is where I'm supposed to say that pessimistic people are the people who are sad in the most happiest situations. That maybe true. But somehow I feel there is more to it. Maybe there is a reason to him hating life dispite all of life showing all it's Teletubbie happiness on him. Give him a chance. Ask him what happened before branding him off as a miserable person. ( We just are in a hurry to do that aren't we?)
Passions:-
Now people in Asia have the common factor about how people are forced to work on a profession ahead of their passion. A very common debate and a cliche movie topic here bcos many passions are made to die here. Which I feel is a dreadful waste. Can be pressure from society or parents.
It's how we face all those obstacles and yet continue our passion for a certain art shows how much dedication we have towards it.
Now does have to necessarily have to the arts over academics fight. This can also apply for academics also. Probably one of the best examples is how a medical student had to undergo the varies hurdles thrown by government and society to become a doctor! What else? Exams! Exams! Neet..next....they just making more exams with the remaining numbers in the alphabet! They'll be using numbers soon! N13T exam....
The IT inflation etc etc
I have an intense respect for all the people who have been able to convert their passions to professions. To cross that imaginary (and highly profitable) line. Dispite all the hurdles.
Now I think this is the moment where I feel that we should think....dumb
Become cavemen
No thoughts
Think like an 8 year old
Smart enough...to be stupid
I mean..have you noticed when you grow up we have all this thoughts "can I? What will they think? It's too late! It's dumb anyway? How can people in my profession do that? Why is that peacock looking at me? And when will avengers 4 come out?"
Some people will be like "I'm too old to be able to do it"
Me: ".....dude your 28! Grow down! Relax"
I mean...throw it all out of the window and clear your mind (by whatever means work for you). Just think
"do I want to? Yes.
How do i do it? Like that?
What will be the problems? How do I face it? Like that? Cool
Then let's go for it"
*Loading gun and putting flip flops on*
To make it more simpler. Let's just say it's like a video game. As you go through each level the dangers will get harder. But we will be stronger and then finally we will finish the game and get what we want.
This may sound easy but I know. Self councilling yourself is a pain in the ass. Halfway through thinking this you'll be like "Am I talking to myself?"
Usually for guys the common scenario
Guy: "My hot girlfriend told me this and I'm ready to follow my dreams"
Best friend: "what the fuck bro?! I would have told you this some 8 times!!"
Relationships:-
If life is a video game without a reset button then being in a relationship is like a videogame which blows up in your face.
When I talk about relationships I'm not just talking about romantic relationships. I'm talking about friends or family.
Just like how I said obstacles determine what person you are or how much you are passionate to something. It also determines how much you like a person.
The more you tend to get closer to a person the more hurdles are bound to grow up. They might go to different places. They might get more busy, you'll find about certain indifferences or even worse...*gasp* they might grow up!
This will definately turn up whether we like it or not. And there is always a way to work it out. And if we really like this person we will find a way and we can still be the same and close as ever regardless of what hurdles we come across.
Bring close to a person when you can meet up easily is one thing. But still being there for a person dispite the distance and all the differences. Now that takes skill.
Maybe telling this is so easy but this way harder Now you know how they say that emotion clouds ones judgement. Well....relationships are nothing but emotions. It's a bloody thunderstorm up in here. So maybe that's why people prefer to abandon ship that rather sail through this storm.
*Me holding a set of cards*
"Follow your dreams nomatter what.....nope....too stalkerish"
*Throwing card*
"Life is a race......naa. too much cardio"
*Throwing card*
"Hard work is my relegion.....too fascist"
*Throwing card*
Oh hey! Usually when we give all this kind of speeches they finish it with a powerful line but everything is just waay too cliche.
Bcos I hear all you guys asking me "what is your point?"
I have said a lot of things...life is like a video game...think caveman....smart enough to be stupid. But what am I trying to say?
The truth is...even I don't know. I'm just telling what I feel. I'm sure we will all figure it out in the way which suits us best. I know ;). So I guess I'll finish this with the line echoed my millions of people all over
...... "Im just saying"
