is life really a set of confusions?

this life is intrigued and so dynamic, you got to take it slow

In the modern world, we’re living in a pandemic and intrigued living pattern and that has taken root and started consuming the human race. That pandemic is the paranoia that we’re all victims of circumstances and that we subscribe to everyday thoughts beyond our awareness.

This thought system is the reason why we’re living in a system of uncertainty, and why we’re living in fear, feeling trapped in a system where we have limited resources to sustain our unlimited needs. That’s why a farmer feels, to have a bumper harvest, he has to spend days under the scorching sunshine or harsh rains and colds and is the same reason why a businessperson feels he/she has to wake up earlier and sleep later with no day offs or leave. In the case of employees, it’s why many employees spend a lifetime working for someone just to make ends meet.
At the same time, the system has set a deadpan for people to get trapped in, it will set up the idea of retirement benefits, health service, good working environment, and many others just to make you feel valued because it wants you to work for it. It does not want you to realize your dreams or follow your heart; that will mean it will have to hire other people and train them.
If you have not realized it, life is like a journey, and just as you could follow a map wrongly and get lost in the woods, we should admit that you may not always make the right decision, and therefore, getting lost in life is rather easy.
However, if you are in a position where you can’t back off and start again, you will feel trapped. A successful person is one who can successfully set an equilibrium between his needs and resources. Creating this equilibrium starts with attaining internal satisfaction, something we so seldom look for.

Unfortunately, by default, everyone would choose external rewards, money, or wealth over internal rewards. The reason for this is that we often concern ourselves gaining external value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, the subjective truth, and the voice inside you. That, friend, is what you should live for.
We give the wrong meaning to life. What I think life is all about is happiness. Everyone wants to be happy, everything you do or think about every day, no matter how big or seemingly helpless, you do it in pursuit of seeking happiness. That’s why you strive every day working with that abusive boss, that job that sucks just to get a paycheck, just so you can buy things that make you alive. Happiness is the reward that motivates us to do all the complex things that we do every day. Even when you gossip about people or call them names, it’s because you want to be at the control of their lives, be powerful and that in a good way makes you happy at the long run. It’s an ego thing and everyone has it.
But what really brings that happiness, that pleasure of being alive. In most cases, you realize it’s the craving to achieve a certain goal, and finally, when you have achieved it, that release of the craving makes you feel so ecstatic. Everyone has a goal to succeed in future, have a successful life, have a beautiful family, a nice home, own his dream car, time with family and friends, and of cause live long and healthy. Again the possession of a good character makes one feel appreciated and complete, and nothing teaches character better than generosity. That’s why you will feel an excitement anytime you help someone, say feed a street kid, even when you know that no one will appreciate you for that. Everyone wants all of those things because combined they bring happiness and desire to be alive. But then we make this one mistake of thinking that money is the only thing that can present you to those.

So every day we wake up going through life just to work for money instead of money working for us. We spend our entire life working on someone else life, only to get wages that we supposedly think that it’s what we need, in return for the wages, we give all our time, freedom, happiness and all those things that bring the real meaning of life. We rationalize all that had times at work, abusive bosses, muddle conditions and all the unethical things we do in the name of a job, all in pursuit of bringing the wrong thing home, “money”.

It’s not money that you need, its freedom and control over your life, ironically, we give all those to a few people in exchange for money. And then we spend the same money trying to buy them, some of which can’t be bought with money. It’s so crazy and fable how we complicate our own lives trying to make them simple.
I think what really matters at the end of the day is not just living, but filling alive did you mattered? did you love? and did you lived the life you were made for?

my best coach advised me to always follow my heart, and take action.

so #keep moving
