Identifying The Essence of Your Existence

If we care to step back from our daily worries and think deeply for just a moment, it is easy to conclude that we exist in this world to live out a certain purpose. To any other living organisms, protecting and ensuring the survival of their species are their only instincts. However, out of all living organisms on this Earth, we, as humans, seem to take Life most seriously.

Throughout history, we have evolved and have become so sophisticated that worrying for our own basic physiological needs has simply been reduced to a small footnote in our lives. We have explored ideas and along the way, spawned so many activities (Sports, Politics, Hollywood glamour, etc.) that are seemingly unrelated to simply protecting survival. This is essentially tied to one thing: To live life happily with a sense of satisfaction.

 We have reached an age where we are able to make many choices in Life. However, we are, by nature, denied the information we would need to make the best choices with ultimate wisdom of certainty even with the most advanced of technology today. The condition of mankind is then to have to plot our own course in the dark without adequate reasons and insights. This is akin to driving a vehicle blindfolded and we are bound to make a lot of mistakes in our lives, no matter how big or small. This inadvertently leads to some form of anxiety. 


Anxiety had been, still is and will always be a basic feature of human lives throughout history. We are constantly making choices everyday, and are made mostly to simplify our lives and making it as convenient as we possibly can make it to be. However, we should make an effort to ensure we do not make today's world of consumerism as a cause for our unhappiness and insecurities. I mean, would that not defeat the purpose of living a happy and satisfied life?

 We must be aware that nobody in this world really cares about who you are or what you have chosen to do. The ultimate responsibility is to ourselves and not to the social world. We must come to terms that the agony that comes with the freedom of choice is never an anomaly. This is perhaps one of the most predictable and perennial things of being alive.

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
