Day in, day out we look at ourselves and say that we are going to change. But as each day goes on, we end up saying the same thing again. That we are going to finally change. The change could be anything, our food habits, education plan, career goals or even that we are going to better ourselves. Alas, that change never comes. It’s like Green Eggs and Ham, We get tempted to try something new, but we see ourselves running away, till we finally reach the point of no return. Every day, we tell ourselves that a change will come, but that’s the thing, the change never comes because we fear to change ourselves. Most would say that we do not have the will to adjust whatever is bothering us in life. And the ugly truth is that we do not have the courage to change what we do not like about ourselves. It’s like we’re being pointed at two different directions. One route leads us on a road of hardship and determination, that will get us to where we all want to be in life. Whereas, another route leads us to our desired destination with multiple shortcuts that gives us a feeling of euphoria for a short while. Yet, in the end, the majority of us pick the path that is never shown. It’s the path that we have taken the whole time. At any time we could change lanes and earn or cheat ourselves to a better life. But we never do. We are stubborn and feel contempt in wherever we are going in life. Maybe that is why we never make that change until we feel like that is the only option that we have left.
I would say that this is the fear that keeps showing it’s ugly face at any moment in our lives. It’s like we are a chained animal, we have a pinpoint route to take. But the shackles is what keeps us still. As if, we are progressing through life on a conveyor belt and for no unseen reason, it is our belt that suddenly stops as everyone in our lives no matter the age continues to progress. And as we keep playing catch up, there’s a roadblock that is continuously giving us the hardest hits in life. Funny thing is that some would say the hits are what finally got them on the right track. With each hit, you get motivated to better yourself and change your outlook on life. Since that is the only option that you have. You could either keep feeling like you are a failure and try to do something about it, or you could continue to wallow in the funk that is called your life and hope that you find the golden ticket as if that is how things work out in this twisted thing called life.
