They say you should demand from yourself. They say you should never
expect too much. I find those two statements contradictory, still, they rule
our existence.
Whenever I think about my life, I have a feeling its outcome
is dependent upon my own mobilisation. How much I am willing to give of myself,
how many sacrifices I can make, how hard I am ready to work. This way of
thinking is treacherous though – whenever things fall apart, you tend to blame
yourself. But then what terrifies me more than self-condemnation is
self-satisfaction. It just seems an ultimately deterring factor standing on my
way to success. Whatever this success might be.
I often wonder how to balance the
ambition, dreams, realism and logic. They seem so contrasting, yet their
presence in our life is unquestionable. We enter different periods, sometimes
driven by wanderlust, sometimes driven by common sense. If one should ever
disappear, what our life would be? Either a survival or a tale topped with
disillusionment.
You get what you give, what goes
around comes around and karma. Idioms, sayings and beliefs teach us, we need
to try our best. Embracing life wisdom is not easy, it’s even more difficult to
put it into practice. But I start to believe that it’s good to constantly
strive for a little bit more, while trying to avoid being too harsh on yourself. On one
end, we have failure, it’s fine. On the other lays success, this one is cool.
Everything in between is life lessons. So formative. Somehow, I think they are the
best of all.
