Life

Life. There are so many ways to define this, you could either take it in a positive perspective or a negative perspective. But, maybe, my point is that our experiences shape how we see life as a whole. I can go on a whole level of a tangent but I guess I'd just leave this little statement here 1)because i'm in my free period and was just pondering life since i have nothing much to do as mocks are over and 2)because I can't really apply my definition of life to someone else's because were all living in our own ways.

Some people might be going through rough times at the moment, but I'd just like to say that you've already come this far and you've most definitely thought that at a past point in your life you were never going to make it this far because of another obstacle you had to face. But no, you're wrong, you got here and you're still going. You are growing because of these obstacles you have faced and are going to face. You have got this! I was watching an inspirational YouTube video and one of the things that sprung out on me was when she said "you are your biggest and longest commitment, so don't dwell on the past and don't waste a minute of the day doing so". People use to ask me, "Maicca, what's you're biggest fear?" and other than answering spiders, I would say: failure. However, after watching that inspirational video, the woman moved me to no longer fear failure, because failure is one of the things that is going to help you become a much stronger and ultimately a better person. It's what is going to make you no longer fail as we should learn from our mistakes, but also make sure the mistakes don't happen again. If/when they do, just ask yourself: "What am I doing wrong?". They say that the truth hurts, but if you keep lying to yourself that you don't need improvements or hiding from what your failures are, the truth is that you will never be able to grow. John Locke's "Tabula Rasa" explains how we are like a clean sheet of paper and that our experiences shape what we become, so through the build up of our schemas (the package of information we aquire through experiences), we will be able to reflect and understand how we can improve as an individual.

Wowza!, told you I can go on a whole level of a tangent.
I still feel like there is a lot going through my mind about this topic and that there are many more things I'd like to say about it. I feel like its quite a sensitive topic that people often don't want to express as it might be out of their comfort zone, but It's also something to make people aware and kept on their feet to think about. #selfgrowth

see you in the next post
