Embracing Fate: Finding Joy Amidst Life's Challenges
Written on
Chapter 1: The Beauty of Life's Journey
In this vast world, countless remarkable individuals exist. However, the brilliance of a person or an experience can often be obscured by life's hardships. The fluctuations of existence can be daunting. One moment, our carefully laid plans seem secure and we feel a sense of happiness—albeit a fleeting one, as complete joy is often elusive.
I try to focus on uplifting thoughts: the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the sweet kisses shared with a loved one, the sound of laughter, the innocent smiles of babies, the serene sight of falling snow, raindrops glistening, delightful dreams, and the savory taste of crispy bacon.
In moments of solitude, I reflect on how pain intertwines with destiny. No one wishes for suffering; I believe I speak for many when I say that in a rational state, we don't aspire for failure or anguish. Pain can stem from various sources, yet the most profound hurt often comes from investing our all only to feel hollow in the end.
Recently, I watched a film about a relatively young man who tirelessly pursued success, only to pass away just as he began to savor the fruits of his labor. Such is the irony of fate, and it is based on a true story.
We have been conditioned to follow a monotonous routine: wake up, brush our teeth, shower, have breakfast, attend school or work, come home, eat dinner, watch TV, study, and then sleep, only to repeat it all. This leaves little room for joy or leisure. In our relentless pursuit of financial stability, we often neglect the simple pleasures, like attending a comedy show to laugh heartily.
Speaking of laughter, I never judge anyone for expressing joy. Each person's laughter is distinctive. I recall a time at the cinema with a friend whose laughter resonated above all else. I didn't even notice the stares from others; I was just delighted that he was genuinely enjoying himself. His laughter was contagious, overshadowing even the film's sound.
However, we become experts at this structured existence, engrossed in our daily lives that even small bursts of joy feel unfamiliar. I have not missed a day of work in over four years, only taking time off when absolutely necessary. While it's commendable not to fall ill, it highlights how our lives often revolve around work and seriousness.
We labor diligently to meet our responsibilities, often taking on unfulfilling jobs to provide for ourselves and our loved ones. We endure long hours and weekends, praying we remain alert enough to drive home safely. If something unfortunate were to occur, those duties would still need to be fulfilled in our absence—after all, we are not irreplaceable.
After years of toil, you finally realize what you want to do to make a difference. Yet, one decision can drastically alter your path. Just as you begin to step away from the mundane, fate intervenes.
Some might contest that it isn’t fate at all. However, I firmly believe that regardless of the choices we make or the paths we envision, fate plays a crucial role in shaping our outcomes—perhaps what many refer to as a higher power. Have you ever noticed that despite striving for a particular goal multiple times, it continues to elude you? The most desired goals often seem to slip away, which is the pain I mentioned earlier.
Your pain is uniquely yours, and only you can navigate through it. Don’t let anyone suggest you could have done things differently. You acted as fate intended, and the results reflect that.
I’m not suggesting that you’ll become a billionaire by simply staying in bed, assuming that what’s meant to be will happen without effort. Please, be wise!
I’m also not implying that you’ll achieve eternal life by avoiding risks. Let’s be practical here!
I encourage you to recognize your efforts each day as you tackle your responsibilities without complaint.
I urge you not to berate yourself when progress seems slower than expected.
Take a day off to indulge in self-care without feeling guilty—you deserve that break!
Don’t wait until retirement to treat yourself; life is unpredictable, and it’s essential to enjoy your earnings while you can.
Dream, no matter your age. Remember, you are worthy of love; love yourself fiercely—this is something fate cannot dictate.
Thank you for your attention and support.
I welcome all feedback.
Always keep in mind: things will improve. 😊
