As We Do

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
