Change.
It can be a tough concept.
Sometimes it’s needed—craved, even.
Other times it’s resented and feels like the world is caving in. Truly the worst part of life.
Regardless of your feelings toward change, it happens. It’s unavoidable.
The Door
One door closes, and another appears, either already open or still waiting.
What are you supposed to do?
If the door is open, is it the right one to enter, or do you wait for another?
Do you build your own door?
What if you have a plethora of doors, but none of them open?
It’s complicated because there is no single answer. At least, not one specific answer.
The Temptation
Like many of you, I don’t like puzzles that are too vague. I like puzzles with pieces that, through a step-by-step process, eventually find their place—even if it takes longer than expected.
But this isn’t one of those puzzles.
It’s tempting to stop. To give up. To succumb to the pressure and the noise.
To settle into mediocrity.
To live in monotony.
To only do what you have to.
I’ve struggled many times to adapt quickly to my surroundings and the changes that come with them. At the end of the day, it’s up to you to either change your approach or change your environment.
No one will do it for you.
Why Not
Why not try?
Why not do what you can with the time and tools you’ve been given?
“How you gonna knock somebody in the world for actually trying to do something? Trying? Since when has it become not cool to try?” — A$AP Rocky
What good has ever come from giving up?
Rethinking Failure
Do I have nothing to gain from my current situation?
Am I stuck?
Have I failed?
Or can I still learn where I am?
“[Failure] doesn’t exist—it’s a figment of your imagination. The point is, the story continues. So if you fail on Monday, the only way it’s a failure is if you decide not to progress from it. If I fail today, I’m going to learn something. I’ll try again on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. The worst possible thing you could do is stop—to not learn.” — Kobe Bryant
Even when you feel like you’re in the darkest cave, when the light at the end of the tunnel turns out to be your own reflection, and there’s still a long way to go.
Find something.
Find anything.
Find the things that will prepare you for whatever is waiting around the corner.
