Survival: a dilemma

Once you attain adulthood, you tend to easily become accustomed to stress and drama in your life.

You understand that your life can be as simple or as difficult as you want to make it.

It’s your choices after all which makes you who you are currently and what will you become in future

We go through life and we realize that life is not predictable it is an intricate art of finding balance between reality and emotions.

At one point you exactly know what you want and then once you pass through it you realize oh no that was a big mistake! Why did I choose that in first place?

While writing this I’m incessantly probing myself: what is it that I really need for my survival?

First things first to talk about survival you need to let your basics covered that is food clothes and shelter!

Money is everything that you need, let’s get this straight, it’s very important to understand the value of money and the time you invest on making it, these to me are survival tools, and health goes hand in hand with it, without it, one is handicapped.

After one surpasses that layer, then comes the actual part which is where I am right now or most of us are, it’s about questioning our existence, where do we stand? Who we are? What do we really want?

What is so amazing about this life is that everything is available in abundance, it’s just the matter of how we perceive it, and what kind of words do we utter and what are our actions.

Let’s list down what i feel, what we all essentially require for our survival:

-Love

-companionship

-Hope

-creative energy

-Gumption

-Confidence

-passion

-motivation

-care/support

If you reread all of these attributes you will realize that what we genuinely need is the idea of survival, we are all by nature story tellers, if you sit around with your elders you will get to hear a lot about their survival stories, and the gist of them all, most of the time, is the way they fought through all those circumstances.

Why am I writing about it today?

I don’t wish to be just born into this world pay my bills and die, I yearn for more, there has to be something remarkable beyond the rat race, food, sex and job.

We are bestowed with the most magnificent power which is our intellect; we have been born to explore the different dimensions of this ginormous universe, and to further comprehend and utilize the power that lie within us.

If I only keep myself within the limits of the survival race I won’t be able to experience the infinite possibilities that life has for me, but sometimes, I lack the courage to do it all or I get pressured and I know it’s not just me out here who experience this solely ..

To get out of this rut, one has to push oneself in certain uncomfortable circumstances; otherwise life will strategically place you in such position where you have to take the plunge no matter what the odds are.

Often times there will be few people who will push and motivate you and dig out those innermost talents hidden in you which are actually your true calling.

When you genuinely follow your inner calling, survival does not become a dilemma for you, it becomes a play or a game which you enjoy thoroughly like a child.
