I just want to be successful. I just want to make enough money to be comfortable. I need to make my parents and friends proud. Good grades, good college, good job, good family. Death. We often think these things throughout our whole lives, regardless of how much time has passed. One desire becomes old and a new need is born in its place. We have all of these thoughts in our heads of how life ought to be, or how I should be. These things cause us to become fiends for the admiration and approval from all who we know, and even those who we don’t. Admiration from everyone other than ourselves.
$UCCESS $UCE$S SUCE$$! We have become in love with the idea of being a successful individual in this world. I was personally convinced that I had to go to law school and become a lawyer, or a politician, in order to be worth something in this world. I thought that I had to go through this life struggling to achieve other peoples’ dreams, and succeed in the eyes of everyone else except my own.
A lot of things are hard for me, but becoming successful in the eyes of others is too easy. It’s too easy for me to get the grades, get into law school, become a lawyer, make a lot of money, beat myself into an illusion of happiness, gain the respect of those around me, and die. I’m constantly afraid that I will choose the easy road that will lead me to “the good life,” all the while steering me in a direction that is contrary to what I really want. What I really need. Even if I end up letting those closest to me down, I’ll become successful in my own way. If not, I’ll just die haha. And knowing that that is the worst that can happen helps me to do the things that I want to do right NOW, and attain all of the success that I seek within myself.
I want become powerful, rich and a good citizen as the society wants me to be. As the consequence, I would work more than what an average person can work. I wanna live my life as if everyday is the last. There is no promise about tomorrow and hence I wanna use this important day, today, and this moment, to do something valuable. I believe that all men are created for a reason and to choose between the good and the evil, the right and the wrong. I don’t wanna be extraordinarily talented or live the genius’s life. But, I wanna appreciate and learn how they maintained their genius.Part of the reason is that, we are all born genius, or as special robots that have the greatest thinking machine which is the brain.However, we do not know how to maintain this genius of the brain as the genius people do.
I hate it when people try to live their lives only to accumulate money. Most of them do not like their job. They count down the last minute of the end of their office hour or whatever because they are slave for their job. I don’t care if I work as a shoe shine, a bar tender or a doctor. All of them are as important and as satisfactory as any job as long as I enjoy what I am doing. Nobody is gonna die with his money and if in case this happens, the money would be food for the warms inside, not even compete to be a fertilizer for the soil. I was poor and I am proud to pass through those challenges in my life for many reasons. When you are poor, you will not surrender to the cold,or to the hot weather, you will neither submit to hunger and thirst. Moreover, you will never and ever try to stop working to change your life. As a result, nothing can stop you to be whatever you want to be. Your hands, your brain, soul and your body will be strong and firm. I still want to be rich, powerful and good citizen. But, only enjoying what I am doing and finding the truth in my heart of what is Musbah is created for.
Wow Musbah, what you said about being poor was really powerful. I know that you’re going to become successful in whatever way you want to, and that your heart will always choose the right direction for you in life. Thanks for reading a leaving a comment man, I wish you luck in all that you do, and I hope to see you on this website more often my friend.
Success, or what popular culture has deemed it to be, will continue to lead impressionable minds astray. I think maybe not on purpose, but when people go through life with blinders on, it can be hard to see alley way, shortcuts, and side streets you know? Its like going down a road with no exits. People choose the road not because they want to I think, but more so because they don’t see a choice. Being pressured by tv, parents, friends etc. What I say is forget the road to success. I’ll put it like this… If you want to drive from California to New York, but in the complete dark, do you really need to know what the whole stretch of the journey will look like? No. You can get there by only seeing 50 feet or so at a time by what comes to you at that moment. So I say we should all take life the same way, 50 feet at a time, because as long as we know the destination, and keep our goal in mind, we will reach our destination in due time. Hope this makes sense. – LightTheDark.
