Go For It!

Do you consider yourself to be really fortunate since everything you do in life seems to fit perfectly? Or, when anything goes wrong, do you usually second-guess every choice you make in life? When faced with a cross roads, do you choose to halt or continue forward? Or do you just ignore the obstacles and go about things in your own manner, aimlessly? 

Isn't life full of difficult questions? The less difficult paths in life don't require as much effort and are less convoluted. However, don't you think that some simple tasks also get somewhat boring when they are done too frequently? Shouldn't we all be advancing together with the world? How do we stay up with the rapid advancement of the world? If we just forced everyone to fit into the mold—a mold with restrictive systems—wouldn't that make us all happy to fit in?

Even in highly developed nations, the majority of the populace finds it difficult to blend in. Paradoxically, the majority of people in several developing and impoverished nations are working harder to improve their current condition in life. Wouldn't it be fantastic if, in order to flourish in the ever changing world, we designed our own system that best suited our goals? Alternatively, would we choose to give in to the limiting mechanisms and then wallow in self-pity, blaming the restrictive system? Wouldn't it be wonderful to see the systems we designed for ourselves encouraging others to follow suit in order to keep up with the times?

I ask myself far too many of these logical questions all the time. Surprisingly, they all began when I became a three-year-old and felt liberated from all the constraints in my life. Since then, I have made every effort to design a life that fulfills me and calms me, despite the obstacles I encountered in my surroundings, so that I can grow, improve, and be freed from anything that would prevent me from becoming a better version of myself. 

We can all be successful in different ways. Everybody has a purpose in life. But when people put too much attention on the journeys of others rather than their own, they wind up holding themselves back and find it difficult to advance in their own lives. It is our birthright to equally thrive in the world, and we can all motivate one another to improve so that we can all prosper in the rapidly evolving and changing global landscape.
