It’s Not That Simple
It’s not that simple. What? Well… it’s everything you lay eyes on. Any task, any decision, any process. Recent times make lives complicated, not simple.
‘If it’s not hard, it’s not worth doing… but if it’s too hard for our will (if our will isn’t strong enough) we feel entrapped by ourselves. A cycle impossible to escape alone.’
There isn’t a decision that won’t be tough. The one you’ll regret immediately after and ultimately may live to regret it.
The risk-reward game is now a popularisation of the youth and is played upon by the old-timers who lived through it all.
They speak from experience and a genuine right place, but their dispersion of good faith often places within a field of derogatory reinforcement.
We don’t feel that we can trust each other nor the advice of someone who lived their life and now feels they can comment on others.
It’s a vicious cycle. And where does it end?
I don’t know the answer to that question. I think it ends at different places for people dependent on circumstance.
I want to do a lot of things.
I rarely write down my ideas. But for good reason — a lot of times if they are useless, they will dissipate and not return.
The final goal is known, and the process is slowly defining itself.
The process. That’s not simple.
The final goal. That’s not simple.
So what is simple?
Is the answer really ‘nothing’?
But wait… so many people have it ‘easy’, they don’t work nor incline to contribute, and they live a lavish life.
There are two responses to that:
1) You’re a generation behind, in comparison terms, you are the father or mother who will provide that lifestyle for your offspring.
2) Who cares?
It’s clear that we don’t live in an equal world. We should all appreciate that for its value.
I don’t think about my ambitions as money-making motivations — more I see them as opportunities to meet more people.
Connect. Converse. Congregate.
If I had one aim, it would be the meet as many people as one person can in their life.
People equal opportunities. Opportunities create wealth. A wealth of currency, knowledge and appreciation.
Time is the defining factor, of course. Dedication can override time but only to a certain degree.
I like action. I advocate for others to do well and be themselves.
I prefer action over words which is big talk for someone who documents their life every day.
Speaking to older men about their careers is like talking to a child about what they had for lunch at school.
They read their achievements like they were so simple to achieve.
But of course, I hear the results, and I don’t know the process.
See the word ‘process’ repeats itself throughout my rhetoric.
The process isn’t simple. It will never be.
It’s prone to change, and I think if we expect too much — we run the risk of dying of regret.
It’s not that simple.
