THE NOW: YOU

The hardest thing to do is come up with an intro to any piece. I've been typing and erasing trying to get that perfect intro. But while i was busy fighting myself trying to decide what intro to in the piece I was intending to write, something dawned on me and now we have this post.

Most of us aren't aware of it, but we struggle with intros unnecessarily. Just as I was struggling with mine, someone else might be also trying to figure out how to go about something. It might be beginning your work day at the office, or simply where to start cleaning. Very often, too much time is wasted trying to figure this out. But could there be a way to deal with this? Where does one even start?

There might be no holy grail answer for this, but allow me to try. Often times we forget that we have little to no control when it comes to what life throws at us. We may wish and pray but life decides without consulting us. How ever, we do have control over two thing; the now and ourselves. And I believe these two things are all we need to get by. One has to understand the now, and also understand the self. When you understand the now, you also understand that the now only exists for now and if you miss it it's gone. So there's no time to think besides just doing it now because the now may be all you have. When you understand the now, you understand that you can only control what you do now, and should do what you can do and move on to the next. Sometimes it may also dawn on you that you actually are in the wrong place, and when it does, do not hesitate to go to the right place.

The one that is rather more difficult to grasp is the self. Most of us think we understand ourselves but do not realise we only understand what we wish to be and not what we truly are. This is the reason why so many of us stay in toxic situation which end up destroying us because we do not take time to understand who we  are. We often deny who we are for who we wish to be and thus never realise our full potential. Without knowing the self, we end up falling victim to the pressures of society, and ultimately dig our own graves and then bury ourselves in it. Know yourself no matter how bad you are and only then will you be able to build yourself up. Stop wanting a fully built house, and start realising you have the material and should build it yourself.

In the end of it all, it's all about THE NOW and YOU.
