Valid and Essential thoughts, to be solved by in-depth self-discovery.
To truly "dream" which I prefer to call "Fulfilling a purpose" is a pillar of existence.
This term is as powerful as the blood in our veins because it gives people a reason to live. But then is only truly uncovered by a complex journey embarked on by in-depth self-discovery.
No time spent on self-discovery is a waste. I would live a life of self-discovery with zero accomplishment rather than live a life of accomplishment with a weak, poor, or incomplete self-discovery.
Why? I only believe in things that I know the utmost reality. Reality on the other hand is cruel against the ignorant. A great question to ask and answer as a person seeking self-discovery is -
1. What do I want the most?
2. What do I fear the most?
As a child and teenager, I aspired for accomplishment and glory based on the benefit of a life of ease and well-being. It is important to understand the condition of life is a great factor affecting our desires. Those who experience difficulties do not always think the same way as those who think in ease and well-being. It is important to develop a mentality of comparing both.
On becoming a teenager, having all the basic needs of a child and teenager, I was also fortunate to gain admission into the university on a single attempt. Heard so many stories of people having to wait and try harder.
In reality, I had colleagues who were much more dedicated and better than me in education, having to wait an extra year/years before being admitted into the university. I was only an average student who barely read. This reality humbled me, which has taught me to live on an ideology of what I call
"Reason and Justice" 🤌🏼.
Most people hardly challenge what favors them, or they just claim a weak reason to be ahead of others. I consider these types of people to be of small minds bound to an unknown fate.
Reason and Justice in the sense that, putting myself in the shoes of those who worked hard and still failed. Then again in the university, I met people who had waited so long before finally getting admission, another wave of reality. I accepted that the situation wasn't something I worked hard to achieve. Then my perspective changed from glory and accomplishment to simple success earned through hard work and perseverance.
I saw the university moment as a gift then decided to prove myself in discipline and dedication adopting the attitude of hard work and perseverance to be a person who truly earned something. Thereafter life changed, I was overwhelmed with failure no matter how hard I tried, at this point I struggled to be average.
But then the lessons I got from these hard times and the difficulty struggling for just basic success were the most essential in life and cannot be compared to the lessons in any school, my mentality was re-shaped. I witnessed and discovered how the strong could become weak, and the weak could be strong not by effort but by chance.
I also experienced failure after great efforts, a failure that breaks an individual to pieces. At that moment I had to rethink myself and about life in general and come to a conclusion. I realized accomplishment, glory, and success in this world do not always come from a just cause and failure doesn't define an individual's true worth. I also realized how passionate I was and how much I hated failure. Failure at that moment became ignorance, a weak or poor mentality.
My greatest fear was initially failure in any form. Being a very passionate individual, pursuing a path of reason and justice, I experienced failures repeatedly learning much more about life, accomplishments, and failures.
I barely graduated due to these struggles but graduated still with the joy I could claim whatever I had was upon hard work and perseverance.
I became much more gentle in dealing with life. I adopted a life of restraint after seeing how failure hunts those upon a proper just cause which helped a lot.
At that moment, my greatest need was just to succeed to survive. And I feared what I didn't know about which could be harmful.
Now, After submitting to a life of total restraint and knowledge-seeking for proper self-discovery knowing there is so much hidden about life, my situation got worse. Life turned against me in every form and way.
This period was determined to make me give up this path, this was my own time of the Great Depression but I fought my way through to learn so much more, this time I navigated through life and death, Sanity and Insanity but I comforted myself knowing I would live in ease knowing I wrestled with life in truth, reason, and justice also knowing the deepest secrets of life, living by true knowledge and certainty, becoming aware than the average human.
Hardly would anyone go this far in search of self-discovery, most skip the hard part, live and embark on a life of dreams without facing their fears, they can only hope life is gentle and be open to failures, but as for me it is important to know the true reality of anything I relate with, so life does not teach me what I should have found out or failed to understand.
Having learned a little from life, I detest the methods of life in teaching lessons in the sense that life's lessons come with grief and sadness, not every grief or sadness allows room for lessons.
I adopted the practice of finding life before it finds me and wrestling with it to claim some form of authority.
I believe after a similar journey wrestling with life in truth, One develops the courage to dream or fulfill a purpose and accomplish great aims. These dreams are also much deeper, for example, many may claim to live a life, build, or achieve something. The real truth I discovered is most dreams and purposes of people are not even totally theirs, they have been hijacked by either their family, society, government, peers. Then again people do not mind living for any cause as long as they benefit from it.
For me, answering the question, What do I live for?
I live to be amongst those who have truly succeeded in Life and Death. [Eternal Success]
I think my dream is helping people. At the end of the day I feel good or better knowing I helped someone or did something to make someone happy or smile. It might be as small as a compliment,a kind gesture , or even recommending songs or books or pages .
Being on my bed at night reflecting on my day just shows me no matter how good or bad my day might have been my best moments are in those little times I showed kindness or helped someone. It puts a smile on my face and makes the next day better cause there’s always someone to help,always someone who needs that word of encouragement or compliment .
