Do you know the feeling of having
a sudden shock for missing your purpose?
It’s like one day, you wake up in
the morning, brush your teeth, get dress, stare at the mirror, look at your
reflection for a moment and suddenly get stung with this question which is
actually been dangling in your mind for a while.
Ask yourself: What’s your life’s
vision?
Walking down the hallway, taking a
glance at some people, having a glimpse about things you want to do in the
future, thinking about how today will turn out to be… Did you ever think about
those all at once? For me, all of those things happen at the same time, every
morning during my walk to campus and class.
It
seems like I’m trying so hard to get everything settled without knowing where I
am, for sure. I feel so far away from reaching my best. I keep asking myself
about what is wrong with me, will I be able to fight my laziness if I keep
doing the same pattern, what is my point of doing all those daily activities,
have I done my best—which of course, I have not at all—am I going to be the
change that I want to be in this world and so on…
Then, I just got stung again with
this question that shattered most of my thoughts above.
“Unless I ask the right question
to myself, how can I find the right answer?”
Think about this: Why are you
doing what you do everyday?
Ask yourself, whether this
bustling world—which is made by laborious people—has made you not aware of
essential things in life.
No, wait. This is the former
question that you have to know the answer, first.
“Do you really know and understand
what are the essential things in life?” In your
life, to be exact.
Thenceforth, ask yourself again:
Have I realized what is the essence of everything that I do or I’ve done? Am I
not losing the essence of this life?
Don’t forget to make sure of it.
There’s
a simple conclusion related to the things that we do everyday without oppugning
much.
We automatically do what we think we have to do.
We
feel that we must do it, since it’s like a conformity in the society. We have
this mechanic urge to achieve what the world tends to admire or amaze about, or
simply, we are afraid to be different. We are shaped by this society which
seems so assiduous. ‘Assiduous’ as we may say, but ironically, we’re also like
a walking zombie. Don’t you ever feel like walking in void?
Well,
let’s end this colloquy—wait, or is this a soliloquy?
I
hope this bunch of words can be a straight-out reflection for those who read
it.
Well,
maybe what is written here is not that obvious, since each of us needs to find
our own clarity. I purposely leave all the questions unanswered and no longer
recital, so that those who read this can elaborate the questions and answers by
their own.
Make
your life meaningful.
Lead
an awesome life! J
