Turning Point?
Realizations. Realizations. Oh btw, I miss writing long, deep and abstract essays….
I’ve spent the last 2 nights having dinner with Khailee, a guy who always seem to re-energize me with his thoughts. Listening to him is like listening to a motivational guru plus the crazy metaphors and analogies. Through self realization, i found out that for the past 2 weeks I did not make any significant contribution on our current project.
After the dinner, I was dropped off at a LRT station and thought to myself “You know what, it will take me 45 minutes but I’m walking home instead. I need to digest my thoughts.”
Then I noticed it was drizzling. “It’s drizzling, should I take the bus to go home?? …… Hell no! Small amount of water droplets do not bother me. I still wanna walk home.”
After 5 minutes of walk, the rain got heavier. “I better take a taxi now or else I will be wet all over! … But wait, there’s no reason to stop walking. I must go on.”
Actually I love walking under the rain. It brings peace in my mind. As I walked, I reminded myself – If I do not get any realization by the time I reach home, I must well just be a useless cow.”
I watched my movements, step by step and suddenly I recalled back a priceless lesson given by Philllipe Stark on our mindset. The journey of life is all about the angle of our views.
If you only look directly down your path, you are basically trapped in your own world living in an imaginary world not knowing what’s happening around you.
If you raise up the angle higher, you could see more but still, you wouldn’t know what will lie directly ahead of you.
If you look directly straight ahead, you could see much better, but you are just looking at things which most typical people are looking at too.
This is the perfect vision, as you could see what’s beyond, yet able to examine what you will be coming across at the same time.
I f you always look up, then you are basically deluded as the most important thing in life is not at the sky (God) but what’s in front of you.
I only watched the video by Phillipe Stark once, but it already left me with a memorable impression.
The heavy rain did nothing to affect my pace. My mind was purely focused on myself and soon I discovered my weaknesses.
- Mental block created by negative thoughts which often paralyze my mind. This mental block actually has created a huge array of problems for myself.
The moment I stepped home, I immediately declare …
Tonight, I want to do the craziest thing ever in my life. If I could do it, nothing worse can happen to me tomorrow.”
I did it.
I am the negative thought, the negative thought is me.
