Evening here at Sisa..hmm a very conducive time to write a blog..NOT! hahaha
Anyways..im afraid i don't have much of an introduction to this day's snips and bits of my mind. I guess I am still a little tired after spending almost half my day at G.S. enrolling. Would you believe that i was so tired that I even didn't try to play PC games? Wow..for me that is really disconcerting. My girlfriend was out to attend a fashion thing in SMX MOA hence I was left alone to do my favorite thing, i.e., watch TV. "Im still normal people.." So there.. i was..surfing what the channels have to offer "trust me on this.. bayantel cable does not have much to offer." and chance upon Kung Fu Panda. Since I was bored and tired to even turn on my PC and play i decided to stick around at HBO and watch Kung Fu Panda. I enjoyed it a lot and surprisingly it turned my brain juice once again.
There is a scene wherein Po was very much afraid and decided to run away because of the coming enemy. The Enemy Tai Long was the complete anti-thesis of Po. Po is fat and a loser, but Tai Long is a perfect martial artist. He was strong, tall, muscular, agile, fit, imposing, confident and pretty much everything that a guy in a billboard wearing nothing but his underwear will look like. I understand the Panda, should you find yourself in front of an enormous wall blocking your way to your goal is it not just natural to feel fear? Who would not be afraid? Is there a person in this world who did not feel any fear in his life? To fear the obstacles that comes along the way? Lemme think about that.......hmm.. NO ONE!! We have experienced fear...we are still experiencing fear..and it is most likely that sometime in the future we will experience fear again.
A lot of people will say.."HA!! ME Afraid?? NEVER!!" idiot..... fear is genetically encoded in each and every fiber of our being. It is secreted by our brain to protect us from danger. And believe me it did its job perfectly. Even an idiot will acknowledge that Pre-historic Earth is not as safe and fluffy than it is today. Earth back then is a green......hell.. if your lucky you make one wrong move and your dead. If your super lucky you make a wrong move and your arms or legs..or both is eaten by a reptile the size of bus. If your unlucky you find your guts spilling all around you as you are eaten bit by bit by a bunch of tiny little dinosaurs feasting your entrails while you are eaten half alive begging them to end your misery...and if your extremely lucky your brain will tell you not to go to an open field, run, hide then maybe...just maybe..you'll get a meal to survive for a day. Now how's THAT for a normal part of your day!? Its like, you wake up in a cave, you say good morning to your wife, you say hello to your friends, you stealthily make your way up to a 45degree angle valley to get to the nearest river, try to catch a fish without loosing your hand, make your way down to the valley again to get the fish to your wife, then you see a friend and say hello to him. The problem is, he can't say "hello" back because you noticed that his guts are all over the grass. You move on, you get to your cave, you say hello to your another friend and he says that his friend was eaten alive as well. Then you'll say.. "Tough luck Man..Oh well! Let's eat!". Then you eat the fish with your wife and you go to sleep. Tomorrow it will be the same again.
Well.. when you live in an Earth like that.. it is perfectly normal that our brain has adapted to fear the unknown. To protect us just as it protected our ancestors.
Can it be that this emotion that has protected us from thousands of years is the one that is holding us back? The answer may be yes... however we should always remember that the answer can truly be found on ourselves. We are always chasing something in life. It can be a career, it can be a girl, it can be a certain food, or an event or something else. But one thing is for sure, there will always be an obstacle. When you find yourself thinking, 'WHAT the Hell Have I done wrong to deserve this!?' then maybe you should look again. Perhaps you were looking for the answer in the wrong place or perhaps in the wrong time..
I kind of like the central idea of Kung Fu Panda. Its moral story can be applied to life. The moral is....'There is no secret ingredient.'
So that's it! Eureka! There is no secret... Ofcourse an ass would say.."Hey just buy this self-help book man! It really works! You know! You just have to read the secrets of the best business men in the world and you'll get rich!".... you know what? That's a lot of BULL.. There is no secret..you just have to believe. To look past the Subcutaneous Fat, to look past the acne ridden holes in your face, and perhaps the layer upon layer of adipose tissue in your mid region and really see......see what is inside you. And don't give me that stupid and pathetic excuse that what's inside you are organs and blood.. No..Im not talking about that.. The REAL you..The Inner You...what who you really are.. your Strengths, your weaknesses, your likes, dislikes, your dreams, your goals, and what you can really do. Just look, don't be afraid of the answer..believe in yourself. Because believe me no chicken soup can help you past what you are dealing right now if YOU.. do not believe in yourself. Things will happen, and things will don't. Its a part of life...Even if Human Beings are weak relative to the marvelous creatures in this world, i know for a certain fact that there is a reason why we are the dominant species here... may be its time for you to find out... that the reason is..
Nothing. Its ourselves. Plain and simple.
And what about fear you say? Common! I thought you already knew the answer!? Fear is a part of life, as death. But without FEAR......there can be no COURAGE. Without DEATH...there can be no LIFE.
