Is it better to settle for the present and learn to enjoy mediocrity, or is it better to take the risk of falling and flying far away?
This is a question I’ve been seeing a lot lately. To be honest, I am surprised that so many people feel that reality is burying their Dreams little by little, but at the same Time they do not have enough courage to take a step forward. Every time we talk about the unseen end of the mountain, the end of the sea, there are always countless little hearts eclipsed in various places. It was as if forty planets had passed by in one night, but not a single star could grow roses on it.
People write in, asking for help and advice. But what could I do? My Life is my life, my experience is my experience, and it may not work for you. Besides, I am at peace with such a life, so ordained by fate, while others, I am afraid, would not be able to take one of these days as a cool, dreamless afternoon sleep. We are used to seeing all kinds of sweet sleeping faces, but few people go up to lift the sheets to see the dense nails below. Or, as Eileen Chang once said, to appreciate the crammed lice under this gorgeous fur coat. We all know the answer: sleep in the rain wherever you are. It’s just that everyone stubbornly insists that somewhere in this world there will be a crib under the roof that belongs to them.
Those who write about success will tell you one word: the cost of choice. The long and painful choice between A and B is a waste of precious time. There is no right or wrong choice per se, yet hesitation slowly turns everything to dust. Conventional wisdom has been passed down on paper and verbally with the cold, cold admonition that the heart is higher than the sky and the life is thinner than the paper. Let people dispel all delusions of grandeur and live their little lives honestly. But, but the far side is there, behind the mountain where the sun sets, deep in the horizon where the mast disappears. Legends float around, and some people do go far away, and they don’t die without a grave.
I think that no matter what kind of life we lead, we all have our own reasons and all kinds of compulsions behind it. The problem is simply that we treat life as the apple in our hands, we always show the bright and beautiful side to others, and we always face the side with the wormhole. So the apple in someone else’s hand always looks better, but few people think about the fact that someone else is probably facing a bigger, fatter, stronger worm. In Buddhism, this perspective is called ordinary mind, but unfortunately, few people have this perspective.
It should be acknowledged that it is a hardship, an ordeal. Everyone was young, so everyone’s heart was higher than the sky, but not everyone may have ever flown. Every day in life, you can see many stories of wings flying high, so much so that the reality becomes more intolerable. It is necessary to do a universal probability theory popularization, to tell all those worthy of the newspaper and television examples are all special cases, in each pair of soaring clouds under the wings, there are countless tired white bones, get no sunshine, only oblivion. While keeping your eyes upward, you should understand the iron law of large numbers – the vast majority of people must live a mediocre life, which is the inescapable fate of all.
The only problem is that no one ever praises, to praise a husband who rides his bike every day after work to buy groceries, a mother who reads bedtime stories to her children every night, a son who is willing to stay at every inch of the way and take care of himself at his knees, a daughter who accompanies her Parents on the couch to watch Korean dramas and peel fruits. The media is praising the successful, making lists of wealth, giving the most time and the greatest glory to the least. Let people feel that buying Food and telling stories is all worthless, one must get ahead and clothe one’s life without wasting it. To go to tell the story of adventure, to tell the story of going far away, to tell all the stories about far away shining, before someone has to go to listen.
The question never asked in all these stories is: Who are you? Too many people feel that they should not live the life they are living, but how many are willing to pay the slightest price for the slightest change? Anyone would say, “I want to live my life the way I want to live it. But how much can you pay for what you want? It is not necessary to talk about the distant future, somewhere far away, just that you are willing to do something for your dream in this moment, in this place, regardless of success or failure? Flying is an ability, you have to prove that you can float in the air before you take wing and fly far away.
You need to walk a life path to be able to distinguish what is “desire” and what is “Dreams”. Desire will dissipate in the morning after waking up in the shower, and revive when witnessing skyscrapers and BMW cars. Dreams, on the other hand, still shine in front of you after you take a few steps out and get knocked down, making you grit your teeth with tears but still roll over and get up and keep chasing. Desire makes you feel important, while dreams make you light, so light that you don’t hesitate to take any initiative. Desire makes one suffer between choices and ask God for guidance, while dreams make one take one step, then a second and third step.
If one simply has a desire without a dream, the most logical way is to extinguish it. Instead of satisfying them all, it is better to overcome one of them. Only desire constitutes a multiple choice question, so under any of the options there is a burning fire of your desire that makes you feel twice as tormented. If you think you have a dream in your heart, then do the proof question from the first thought of your heart, to prove that you are willing to take the consequences for it and that you have this ability to turn a dream into reality.
People who have dreams don’t do multiple choice questions, they only do proof questions.
