Away or A Way?

 

It is difficult to name a blank bland shape, since we are aware of neither its source nor its purpose, and we know it not beyond its surrounding walls; water is shapeless after all, yet, we all seek it in its natural state for many different purposes. It is quite impossible to look through the events of your life and put a label to all of what you are going through, and especially what you are feeling in reaction to them. We all just push through the rigid walls, seeking an escape, paying no mind to how it came about or what put it forth in the state in which it comes.

However you stand, the weight of the world would usually find its way to get a place on your shoulders and almost break your bones under its weight.

That is to prove it true that we usually don’t have a choice as to what comes and what goes in our lives; we get dealt the cards without choice, and get forced to play out of volition, needing acute sharpness and swift calculations. Regardless of what you want and how much you plan and envision, life will always happen (as we say it). Eventualities could come up when you least expect them to, and as such, shock you greatly off balance and cause you to battle with steadying the wheels of your life affairs. We all get dealt our fair share of life problems; don’t assume anyone has a perfect hitch-free life. However it seems to you that is so, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to live without the hustles and bustles of life. That is why it is called life in the first place; there’s a “mix” of highs and lows.

There will also come the times when it would feel as though you cannot handle that which you have been dealt with anymore, you seek a break from the troubles but you can’t seem to find an exit door, you feel frustrated at the continuous tossing and twirling of yours at the same spot and can’t seem to find a route that leads “somewhere” instead of “nowhere”; that is when it gets the toughest and you are sinking into your own bottomless pit, with the weight life has thrown at you “almost” crushing your bones.

You need to shoot it off from the base, rather than shove aside the overgrown branches that are currently obstructing your way. This is something many of us do not know, especially when the situation gets overwhelmingly frustrating; we seek relief from whatever means possible, even if it would only come temporarily and cause us greater havoc in the near or distant future, we would still rather settle for the immediate relief. It is an impulsive “go to” response to unwanted stimuli, yes, but, it is essential that we sit down and back to evaluate our actions and inactions in all situations that permit us at least that much.

You need to find the “root” of the problem and shoot it off from there, as that would ensure the prevention of any recurrence, and as such, you are saved from battling the very same heavy storm twice in one lifetime. This is in opposition to our “normal” way of dealing with problems by breaking the branches, leaving it the chance to grow and disturb us again, so that we have to worry endlessly at a later time yet again, before we will eventually find our way about getting rid of those annoying branches. Now, we can all decide which is better, right? 

Identify “what” the source and cause of the problem is, and then, identify “what” can be done to turn around the narrative from the very “base”, which would eventually cause the tree to fall in entirety; nothing stands without its roots, as the foundation of any building decides how strong it would stand and for how long.

Finally, you can, at this point, look at what you’ve got and smile with some calm and beautiful contentment.

Isn’t that the essence of a peaceful happy life? To find the calm amidst a storm and be genuinely grateful and proud for that find; isn’t that the awesome destination we all seek? To look back at our battles and smile at the memory of how positive we have stood in the face of tribulations? To be glad for the choice of flight or fight that we made during those turbulent moments?

When you realize the real source of your issue of concern, you’ve gotten the most important instrument you need for its “destruction”. And what’s more? You are not even going to be breaking it from where it’s easiest and most disturbing, you are going to be breaking the very grounds on which it grows, shattering the roots in pieces and putting off the flames in entirety.

Should you walk away or walk a way?

Let’s have those answers live on a different slide… but for now; find the roots and determine to break the chains from the very source. Okay?
