                                                          Time’s Influence

One of the most consistent elements in our lives. its abundancy could be a double edged sword, and its deficiency could leave us feeling robbed, in the movie ‘collateral beauty’ Time itself was one of the three abstractions that our lives revolved around, after all time is basically the road to everything. However, time is almost exclusively regarded as the wounds healer. Well that’s not the angle I am currently writing about, you see time is a blessing but sometimes that blessing comes in disguise, time’s way of healing isn’t a methodological one and that’s not surprising as all wounds are different. But if I had to try and describe it I would say that time literally opens up every wound we have got until it can’t be wider cleans it all up from within then closes them all but here’s the thing time has no anesthetic in its book so it hurts pretty badly and time turns from our aid to something we hate we rush and probably avoid, at least that’s how we see it but even our running is a part of its healing process, we run to avoid pain but what we are really running away from isn’t the pain or the healing it’s what comes after. Starting over again that’s the dreadful event that we try to postpone as much as we can, some people when they start to think they stop running, and once they do they allow time to heal them, starting over for them is less dreadful than spending their lives running in a circle with no exit point, others they run until their feet collapse beneath them and time is now their only choice but they are now with no energy to start over with which means more recovery time than what they had in the first place. Time catches up with all of us. It isn’t the enemy as much as we want to see it this way, the true enemy here is ourselves. Yes starting over is hard and nobody said that it was easy, but even babies fall when they try to walk the trick is always getting back up. There is no shame in falling but choosing not to get up that path only leads to regret, and unlike time regret isn’t as forgiving.

Day 1: Self Discovery Challenge

Day 1: what do I want to achieve in my life and how can I make it happen?  Achievement, that’s a big word most of it is full of failure and setbacks, take Edison for an example he failed 99 times till he succeeded it took him 99 times of failure to achieve his goal. So what do I want to achieve in my life, well let’s just say that on my 99th time I want to not give up and do that 100 time so that I can achieve what I want if I ever was meant to achieve it. We mustn’t forget that it’s about the journey not just the destination, yes, sometimes you don’t get to arrive to that place you wanted to reach and after mourning for that the lessons we learned become much more valuable to us than that view we most coveted. Well okay, how can I rise on my 99th time? It takes a lot to achieve something at first, you are full of energy and enthusiasm, then after the first bump in the road you say it’s fine every hero needs a few pebbles to make it worth his while and in the back of your...

Day 4: self discovery challenge

Day 4: I am proud of myself because… That is a question that I would consider very personal to me and I might not be as deliberate as I always am but I am going to give it a try. Proud a word that has been increasing in its wealth and also in its capacity, one of the hardest things is to be proud of Yourself. You can be proud of your nationality, your team, your friend, your family members or all of them at once, but once that question is propelled towards you, you begin to think and travel through moments of your life; which of those I am proud myself for doing for saying or maybe for not doing or not saying; being proud doesn’t necessarily have to be related with actions, sometimes it could appear in personal psychological triumphs maybe getting over a hard time in your life or facing yourself with its bad habits or unacceptable properties, we are all flawed in the most different of ways, but it’s how we deal with ourselves that defines how proud we are at least to me it is. ...

Day 3: what is my ultimate career goal? A career goal, it is basically how I would like my life to be shaped career wise or at least that is what I think, but for a 20 year old women and for people in general not to be a racist such words put an immense amount of pressure on us. It is easy when you are 6 years old and your siblings ask you what do you want to be, you either choose a doctor like your mother or an engineer like your father simply because you have only been exposed to these specific positions or career choices and even their titles are way too generic; For example what type of a doctor do you want to be?. However, you can’t ask a 6 year old that they will just stare at you so you wait until they are older say 16, 17, 18 you start asking expecting a direct detailed answer with a plan on how this person is going to achieve it, but isn’t that a bit unfair; for starters why should anyone have to decide what they want to do for the rest of their lives only when they di...
