They say there are trains that only run once in a lifetime, but how can we seize every opportunity if we are encouraged to go down every season?Many people strive for solid training, search and find a good job in the field. they love more, however, they focus their attention on what they lack, feeling a constant dissatisfaction, based on the idea that they might find something better.
They live in the eternal dilemma of fighting to live the life they want, but they forget that people rarely find the adequate means to achieve their goals. It is the eternal cry of “It is not for me”, “It was not what I dreamed of”. “They carry a huge load of mental frustration.
- The philosopher José Ortega y Gasset warned in his book “The massive rebellion? The danger of specialization.
- Highly trained men and women in a given field.
- But unable to obtain a global vision of the world that helps them face reality in the that they live.
- Not the reality they want.
How many times have several opportunities arisen and we are paralyzed by the fear of having to give up something good?The truth is that sometimes we have to stick to one point, firmly subject ourselves to the only concrete opportunity we have and avoid others. Often, when opportunities run out, the best option arises: to live life as it presents itself.
A question appears on the horizon in the line we draw: what is the difference between accepting and resigning?Basically, they are terms as incompatible as oil and water, but we try to mix them, acceptance is the first step towards change. We need to locate the point where we are on our vital map, whether we like to be there or not.
Acceptance is also the first step towards adaptation if there is no possibility of change, we must integrate this circumstance into our history, which we reject so much, for example for a person who has had an accident and has lost a leg, acceptance is a great step forward to adapt to the changes they will face in their lives. Integrating this tragic event into your personal history is a big challenge.
However, resignation has a component of frustration and disqualification that goes far beyond acceptance. Frustration is important because it often generates stagnation or insistence, much more sporadic than before, in attempts to use the same means and manners to achieve a goal.
In this sense, there are often thousands of opportunities to get out of a bad situation, but no alternative seems perfect, on many occasions we can try to create it, but in many other cases we only choose one of the options when we reach the limit of suffering, even if none of them are ideal. Of course, for the person who has lost his leg, the ideal alternative would be to recover it, but unfortunately this is not possible.
When all ideal opportunities are exhausted, the best option arises: a change of attitude that involves reassessing an option that is certainly not perfect, so each alternative regains its dignity and gives us dignity if it can take us out of a situation of pain. routine and resignation.
If we are exhausted and without daily motivation, there are no possible paths. Every step is done here and now, slowly and enjoying every moment of your day. This effort often brings a reward; A prize, which requires motivation to find in everyday life a trace of what one wants.
Maybe not sucking so high and accepting a simpler life will make us happier. The conditions imposed by reality may not be compatible with everything we imagine, but that doesn’t stop us from “being well. “
I know a lot of people who are working on something they’ve never imagined before and who are happy. They appreciate your situation, accept temporary changes, and ignore abusive comments about your alleged “failure. “Jokes that often come from people without ambitions and with the only desire to judge what others do.
Those people who made lemonade a lemonade are responsible people, who have taken their lives into their own hands without trying to gallop, simply enjoying the small pleasures of life.
The one who works hard is not an automaton, but the one who works spending a lot of energy cursing his situation.
The line between the struggle for a dignified life and the eternal criticism of what has lived is sometimes very tenuous, however beautiful, it is no less important: it separates people who are tired of wanting to obtain casual pleasure NOW. whatever it is. There is no work, housing or unworthy relationships per se. There are attitudes and actions that make them unworthy. In the pursuit of the ideal, the so-called conventional always becomes an obsession.
Fortunately, some have already learned how important it is to take some time in their day to have a quiet coffee, live the present, build a future, the ideal opportunities are over and they have chosen among the possible options. what they wanted was no longer, they chose to live and not survive.
