“I’m okay just being okay”
This very thought used to be my safe thought, words that I could retreat to when the battlefield is too much. I used to soften up to this idea of living an ordinary life with a partner and kids, working nine to five till the day I retire. Don’t get me wrong, that can be a beautiful life to live, to be able to wake up every morning to a loving partner, getting up to have breakfast with your own kids as you share shitty jokes and discussing the days plan. I completely understand why that’s a great life, with having a family to share vacations and memories with.
However, I believe in something more for me. Not in some obnoxious “I’m the best in the world, look how great I am” kind of way. More in the sense that I’m a butterfly effect from something spectacular. That if I play the right moves, I could potentially leave a somewhat better world behind this long game of chess.
Recently I discussed the concept of selfishness behind every “selfless” act, how no matter how selfless you believe you are, there’s always a selfish element. This brilliant person brought to my attention the selflessness of a bee, and how incredibly selfless they are in terms of protection over the queen bee. How they selflessly sacrifice their own life for the greater good.
So after this, I thought of this situation in a metaphorical sense for myself. What if I could somehow sacrifice my passion towards the help of many others like me? These thoughts, these ideas, are merely a puddle on a rainy day. I’m going to try my hardest to expand upon these ideas bubbling up inside me because I honestly believe I can help those who need it on a greater scale.
Very efficiently written information. It will be beneficial to anyone who utilizes it, including myself. Keep doing what you are doing – looking forward to more posts.
