This is another of the adages commonly heard in my childhood from my elders and which took me a long time to process, but now I have a hypothesis, a product of experience and acquired knowledge.
Living life often means accepting that we find ourselves in a labyrinth, where we believe there is only one way out.
We become enslaved to the idea that this is the way things should be and we believe that every suffering has a purpose.
But what happens when we stop to reflect on this belief?
The purpose becomes intense as we watch the hands of the clock tick relentlessly, chasing the hours and accepting that this situation is what we have to live with.
Sometimes we excuse ourselves for doubting, for thinking that there might be another way out.
We feel trapped in that thought, unable to turn around and realise that if we value ourselves and rise above what people will say, we will surely find our way out of the walls of this endless labyrinth.
The key lies in not being redundant in that which has nothing more to offer.
It is time to challenge imposed limitations and explore new possibilities.
It is necessary to question ingrained beliefs and free ourselves from the mental chains that bind us to a single vision of life.
When we dare to challenge the norms and believe in our own worth, we discover that the labyrinth in which we find ourselves is not as impenetrable as it seemed.
The walls that once imprisoned us become windows to new opportunities and wider horizons.
We need not be afraid to look for our own way out, even if it seems challenging or unfamiliar.
In doing so, we realise that we are capable of transcending imposed expectations and finding our own path to freedom and fulfilment.
