Array ( [sid] => 136022 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => my breakthrough on the struggle of life 7/10/2007 [time] => 2007-07-17 07:12:09 [hometext] => [bodytext] => first i shall tell you that i have been struggling with life for the past ten years
i have always wanted to find a way to be happy all the time
i have always trusted that i shall find the answer someday
the following is the best answer that i have found so far
i will update you with more poems if i find better methods in the future
i try to find some easy way to solve all my problems, but i think its probably not possible
if you are struggling with life, first list five things you want the most from your life
then write down what kind of steps you think you need to take to reach them, you should probably start with the most important
now write a deadline for each step and a final deadline for each goal
make the best estimate, of course it is not possible to find out when you'll find your lover!
here comes the part where if you achieve it, you will have entered into the top 0.1% population of the world
DO IT
yeah that's right, i don't care if you are disabled or depressed, do all of it step by step
here you will face extreme fears, panic attacks, possible verbal and physical abuse from other people, your brain keep telling you you will fail, your brain telling you you are insane, your brain telling you that you are ugly, he/she will never talk to you, you loosing focus, anyway you will be bombarded with resistance, but here is the part where you have to ask yourself this question: what are you all about? what are you all about living in this world? Remeber even if someone physically tortures you, DO NOT STOP, DO NOT GIVE UP, take it and CONTINUE ON, because its all a trick of the mind to stop you and you'll just be back to your old self in no time!!! because this is the moment where you are about to see just what you are all about living on this earth for such a fleeting moment.
Now proceed on to achieving exactly what you wanted to achieve for all these years and look into your fear and say:

i am sick and tired of my fears running my life
i will stand up today to all my fears and stop running away
so what if i look stupid or dumb?
so what if i fail a thousand times?
so what if i do not make it in the end?
so what if everyone in the world laughs at me?
so what if i make mistake after mistake?
so what if i show my most vulnerable side?
all this and infinetly more can be sacrificed for the unending pursuit of my happiness.(rather than lamenting that you could've been a contender 30 years from now)

i know some of you may think this is dumb, but i think its working for me, because now i really do try to achieve my goals and i will take each step to do it no matter how much i dislike it.

get up right now! and just do it! its hard, i know its so hard, its crazy hard, and it may possibly scar you for life, but remember, there have, will and only be one force that can overcome all this: you you you.


are you going to go back to your comfort zone again? or are you going to choose growth?
