A life on a blue planet

Due to some issues I have I’ve been going through some random lifehack stuff concerning motivators and demotivators and thinking through them and me, my goals, my needs and desires, things that give me pleasure and things that are just a necessity.  But whatever there is in the world and whatever there is one aims for one thing is constant and that is that life is a challenge comprising of many small challenges and its not the fruits, but completing the challenges that gives us the pleasure of living, though we should also appreciate their fruits, not just throw them in a museum of accomplishments. And still, every single bit in life gives something worthy if you know where to seek it and how to appreciate it and then use it to push forward. I have lots of things, but there is one small bit of psychological junk that just hampers me every step of the way – I always want to compare to others and I quite often seek someone’s appreciation, though the latter is something I’ve almost cleared. Some people are truly meant to be like all other, letting go of their uniqueness for the sake of society and unwritten rules, handed to them by their parents and those before them. But there are the few that are outside these social clusters, somewhere out in the vastness of space, still able to communicate with the rest, but just with some and with lower speeds. Still these few play quite an important role of creators, inventors and scientists, but I will tackle this question sometime later.

Back to the subject of challenges, each and everyone of us has them, more or less, on one or another level and when one is solved another seems to emerge. We sometimes tend to focus on how hard it is and how we feel that there’s no getting out, but still every difficulty has an exit, quite a few at that and finding them and using them helps us actually grow. And as for the focus, there is something else in the challenges and life itself and unlike many believe it is not love. It also has its part to play, but it’s not the key to it all. What I am talking about is Life itself, life as something pure, pretty, with a lot of wealth, something that needs to be felt through every cell of your body, because both of them were made for that.

So I (re-)found out (with the help of Cheeteach – my faithful buddy) that somehow this phrase “Life is a challenge” is my motivational phrase. Life is a test of the self, not for anyone, but for oneself, for us to become what we want to be or rather what we feel we are inside. Life is just the thing to bring it out and show it to the world, to prove to ourselves that what we feel is what we truly are, not just some pile of meat, bones and body liquids that just has a task of procreating and perhaps discovering science.

Life has many variations, many colors. We can’t possibly hope to see and appreciate them all, but we can appreciate what we see and even broaden our spectrum to see and feel more, but its only up to us how to assimilate this information and feel happy/sad because of it.

I think I will revive this attempt of blogging and even try to write about philosophical questions in stories rather than dry texts, and I will see where this goes. After all I am a person with quite an imagination and can create stories in the blink of an eye if I have the push from somewhere and I’ve got lots to tell to people, to the world.

Still, tomorrow is a day for another pleasure-full challenge. I will be going on a mountain walk as well as photo trip and I need to start preparing.
