Strength

That kind of strength that comes from your guts.

What is life about? what is life about. This question has chased me my whole life. We seem to have a goal in mind at all times, but it’s just when you get to feel satisfied when the real question comes, and just then, you can hear that silent whisper inside your head over and over. Is it enough? Yes it is. Are you mediocre? No. Nope. It has cost you. You’ve made it. Enjoy. Live the life you have worked too hard for. Finally, you’re comfortable. Enjoy it. But is just right after these thoughts when The Question vibrates in you… What is life about?

All of what you’ve done seems to be so right. So cool. So enviable. However, it doesn’t make you feel infinite. Why would you settle if you know you could be happier? Because it involves leaving all what you’ve got behind. To ignore all those external pressure sources. To go against the current and fly up high facing gravity. To explore the yet unknown.

Because it’s scary. So scary it will make you think a hundred times about every singles step you take. It will make you doubt about yourself, and about your capabilities, about your ability to overcome stuff. The kind of stuff that won’t make you more famous, or successful or more wealthy. I am talking about good stuff. Joy. Infiniteness. Pleasure. Life. That’s it! Life!

Hold on right there…….. what was life about?

I’m just a 22 years old kid, but sometimes I feel like there is so much more going on in my head. I find it harder to find someone who would be interested in hearing what I have to say, to express, to show the map of my thinking… And this is why when I find someone who gets me, I treasure these people. They do agree with me that life is about Love and Fear. All of our choices, actions and doubts are guided by these two feelings; it is just that it’s in you if you would let Fear overcome Love.

Most of the time it is easier to let fear make choices for you. Why bother even trying to think about suffering Fear? I am talking about fearing the Fear. Love challenges you to face your deepest fears. This is why whenever you try to push yourself out of your current comfort zone, three answers come along for you to choose: to give up, to give in, or to give it all you’ve got. I think you already know what my advice is, but I still need to experience it myself.

When the itch doesn’t seem to stop, but it get stronger and stronger, there is no other possible solution. Fly. Go.

I am scared, but excited to face the fears. Love.
