I had a striking thought, but don’t we all? Hmm.
Well, I had a thought when I watched a movie. In the movie, a janitor was happy being a janitor. They could barely get by, with him, his three kids and wife who had a diner. However, they seemed to be happy, content even despite the constant bombarding of bills or something else.
I was intrigued because, is this the life some people want? How are they content with having little? Even if they are, just what about having little makes you smile? I couldn’t understand it. So, I concluded that the movie industry just did what it did best, which is to sell lies.
It still got me asking though if there were people like that in real life. Content with just having enough. I can’t fathom it, not because I’m greedy or anything but because I have big dreams. In my dreams, “enough” doesn’t even come close. This is why I’m constantly trying to educate and challenge myself. Moving from one field to the other. Yet, it’s already been established that this could lead to misery. Here’s the thing though, I am absolutely happy!
When I am in a new environment that requires me to leave my comfort zone, it gets hard but I get the hang of it. I always get the hang of it and then it becomes easier. I remember how I sat in front of my computer yesterday trying to figure out a problem. Took me 10-15 minutes and during those moments, it was not smiles but a constant hiss and sigh. Yet, I sat my ass down and determined to find the problem because it’s what I like to do. What I want to do. Solve problems.
I found the problem and you can imagine the adrenaline rush that came from that. That high, that level of energy is more powerful than any drug in the world.
However, not everyone thinks this way. Why? Humans are wired differently and one man’s food could be another’s poison. Ones purpose and mine may have the same map but the way we get there could be totally different.
I got to realise that I won’t really be able to understand other people who see life differently. I may get where they are coming from, but I will not fully understand. Why? Because my brain is conditioned different. My will and stamina is different from those around me. Where I end may be where one starts, and where I start may be where another ends.
Life is beautiful chain of reactions. When I got to understand this, I finally let go of all hidden judgements. Especially towards people I felt weren’t giving their all. What we see as Lazy might just be a person fully aware, conscious and present in their life - that is, they have found and accepted their purpose even if it’s just keeping hallways clean.
