Life’s Biggest Lessons are Rather Funny  ☘

* It is rather funny that we think that *

* we climb to the very top without dedication, *

motivation, determination, practice and experience. 

* It is like when we go for our dreams, we say we want to *

be an author & write books. We keep saying it until it slowly

fades away. Then life passes by and we still say that we want to

write that book but later when there is more time. Later when

this hurdle in my current work is over. Later when the kids

grow old. Everything later. Then the events & turns of life

happen & all of the sudden you are at a place so far off from

your original dream that it seems impossible to even write a

single word yet a single sentence. The reason for this is that you

are stuck in your original version of your dream as a writer and

you subconsciously neglect how life has treated you and how you

took on the heavy stuff by either burying it or putting it in a drawer

far back in your mind. Either or. As we naturally grow & evolve,

so do our dreams. You shape your dreams in one instance but we

tend to forget 

to adjust the dream of ours & the conditions of that dream 

are not corresponding to the circumstances of your 

life. Conditions & circumstances.

And the other part is that we tend to start 

* at the end result and not the beginning. We think *

that we could pull off writing that book in no time without *

taking the time to find your own voice and figure out how and

when to use it. Also, we need to dig deep into our creative selves

and minds which is a lifelong project. And as society does not

praise inner growth, it is inevitably impossible to reach that

stage because the key to a successfully completed project is

* when the focus shifts from outer recognition to inward *

recognition. And when it does occur, it transforms you into

everything & everyone around you. The shift takes up a

smaller fraction of your life. Thus, the transformation

happens very quickly. However, the process of getting

there is a whole other story. It takes forever to get there

& you have to be very careful about who you let into your

mind and what. And it is all about rising above life events,

life circumstances and life challenges. Every time. Every

* single time. Never to forget. Always to remember. *

* Never to remember. Always to forget. *

* Never to neglect. *

*

*

*

It is always about the process and *

* not the end result. When one has figured that

key out, he or she is dangerously close to reaching his

or

her life dreams. When you stop having your attention on

outward matters such as Facebook & Instagram then your

mind might in most

cases trick you into believing that you should be and do things

to get the public recognition and attention from social media.

But we tend to forget that we are human beings and one of the

greatest and most significant lessons of life is to find out who *

we are and what we are meant to be in this world. & to figure

out what is our main purpose to add a little flare and spark

to our lives. We all have a main purpose. We are all

born geniuses but we tragically enough seem

to lose it along the way in our

life journeys.
