The Frame of Your Life

I have learnt to live with the belief that all the things that each of us do in life are never in vain. Everything we have done in the past eventually led us to where we are now in the present. When we choose to accept or deny something in our lives, we are forming a frame on how we are living it.

We get a college degree because we trust that it will somehow lead to a higher paying job thus increasing our standard of living. Choosing to help someone may fall into the frame of wanting to serve the people for the betterment of the community. We invest our money in hope that it will fund the things that we have always wanted to do. We may defy social conventions because we feel that the world should be free and not be bounded down. Fundamentally, all of us hope that everything that we do in the present will mould each of our future closer to where we feel is desirable.

So, in order to find out what you want to do in life, take a snapshot of the life you ultimately desire and start doing the things that bring you closer to it now. 

Stop doing work that do not feature in your life. Have the faith to follow our gut instincts instead of listening to the naysayers telling you what to do and what not to do.

"You cannot connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in the future because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even if it leads you off the well-worn path." - Steve Jobs

How You See Yourself Ultimately Decides The Kind of Life You Will Live

Image
Until the moment when we finally find our souls, we are always being influenced by the environment we are in from a very young age. Our thoughts and beliefs are pretty much entirely shaped by our family and society.  However, what the world often says and what the world later does are often against each other. One day, when we feel that we are completely abandoned by the world, we will slowly come to a realisation and enlightenment. That is when our inner selves will grow to be stronger, we learn to ignore the naysayers, we form new perspectives on Life and gain alternative strategies on how to traverse this world we live in. It is at this moment that your inner soul is no longer as ignorant as it used to be; all sorts of Joker , big or small, will be born.  Joker (2019 film) From the Big Bang, to the formation of our solar system, to the existence of Mother Earth, to the creation of various lifeforms, to the evolution of Homo Sapiens, to the birth of your very self.

Start From The Things Where You Can Do Best, To Make The World A Better Place

To be able to make a contribution to mankind or the society can also be a kind of blessing. Take a step back and look at the Life most of us are going through thus far. In order to minimize inconvenience in our lives and the lives of others, most of us practice self-restraint. That is how the majority of us try to do in order to get us to where we are at various stages of Life. In the face of growing old and moving toward the livelihood of being an old man, the majority of us, at least, can perhaps attempt to shift away from our current standpoint or way of thinking of restraining ourselves towards something that speaks "do-what-you-love-to-do" as the focal point in living. One of the practical way of doing this is to transform that "who-am-I-doing-it-for" or "this-is-for-the-good-of-the-community" that forms the basis of our survival in today's context by adding in the element of "doing-what you-love-to-do". I deeply believe that

Courageous People Will Make Themselves Look Normal. 5 Signs Of "Courage" Based on Alfred Adler's Psychology Theory

Image
Those who lack courage, will resort to all means possible to look 'special'; those who possess courage, will blend themselves in as being 'normal'. Courage is the feeling in which you experience strength and you are of worth, as well as the belief that you can take on Life's problems. Life's going will never be all rosy and smooth-sailing, it may sometimes be due to work, interpersonal relationships, love relationships, or parent-child relationships; or it may also be due to a series of obstacles you faced along the way. Whenever we encounter difficulties, all of us are given two choices: one is to face it head on, and another is to run away from it. The latter of which is termed is Superiority Complex and Inferiority Complex. Let's take a look the 5 signs of "Courage" as advocated through Alfred Adler's school of thoughts.  The feeling that you are capable and worthy of achievements The crux of the problem is that avoiding problems
