You Only Live Once

    Every time one wakes up in the morning, a new story is unfolded. It's like a full HD movie that starts the minute one opens their eyes to the minute they come back and close them again for the credits part to display. 

    The beauty of being humans I must say is the fact that every single one of us has a story to tell every day, every week and every month. It's just the way life works. We get to share those with the ones we care the most about or we simply let the world enjoy watching the movie we have to show. It's fascinating when you think of it because there's so much to tell about this specifically. When it comes down to what personal movie you get to record in your memory when you first wake up in the morning, you get to set the theme first, how cool is that? There was this article I read a few years back in a book that sadly I couldn't get myself to finish because I felt like I needed to start implementing what's being written on those pages and not read them like novels. This is how it goes, as extracts from "The Wish" by Angela Donovan:

"Everything we see around us in the world begins with a thought, an idea, a sudden inspiration. The sudden inspirational thought that just pops into our minds when we least expect it - like inviting an old friend on an adventurous holiday, giving guidance and support to your teenage son through his exams, sorting out what to do for a friend in need or deciding how best to renovate the dreaded back bedroom - gives us the perfect opportunity to make life into something truly exciting."

This simply implies that a single spark is all that's needed. Approaching the end of that particular chapter the author gives a clever concept that really gets you to think of all the times you decided to label your day as that typical "Not by best day" type of day.

"So what does this say about wish-making? The power of belief transcends all barriers, When we really believe something is possible, our wish cuts through all the 'buts' and 'what ifs'. It cuts through our early conditioning, through the harsh inner critic, and brings us back to a place of wonderment and the true magic of 'being'. We return to our full potential, to all that is ours by right while we live on this earth."

    Reading those extracts over and over again, one can come to learn that it's all a matter of thought and persistence. You make what you want to live and you insist on reaching that no matter what. The question is why bother? Well simply because the success of that movie you're making highly depends on that.

    Moving on, over the past few weeks so much mind-twisting scenes have been witnessed and experienced. The toughest of them all is meeting people that literally hate the guts of reading and proudly confess on that. There's nothing wrong with not liking to read at all, it's just the way people are. I'm a reader, and it really gets to me whenever people falsely dismiss books. Yet again, it's a personal preference, but there should always be that one thing you've done to maybe work on changing that? That's how things start, you say you hate something really bad but then maybe you should take up the challenge and hold a book yourself and maybe read it. This is the case  because that's how you can judge really. Unless you've experience reading, you could come to like it or you simply say no. But there's nothing wrong in trying, what's wrong is the fact that you're going solid with your mentality because of some incident back in the days and judging an entire library based on that, that's not how we should progress as people, we should come to learn about our faults and why are they our faults at the beginning, then we decide to work on them...for the sake of bettering ourselves. That's how we develop as humans. 

    Consider mushrooms, I simply detest them. Their smell, their taste and the sight of them, I simply can't. Now that's something that gets me to think really, I used to eat mushrooms before and they were not an issue, so what made them an issue all of a sudden? When I formulated the thought of hating mushrooms I taught myself how to not like them, that's when I decided to go through the experience and see what the truth was. I put that thought aside and decided to taste them, then I knew that the way they tasted and smelled made me uncomfortable eating them. I could blindly eat them and not know they were there, but then I'd sense something unfamiliar going on. It's just the way it is, but at least I did try to fix that fault and worked on figuring out where the problem was. That's the point, people should not recognise their faults and keep them to that, they should always work on bettering themselves, for their own sake. Again what for? Well simply because Y.O.L.O.
