Are there
times when you question what all the efforts you have put into literally everything
you have ever done in your life is for?
It is
especially distressing when all these efforts do not yield the kind of results the
one putting in all the effort expects. Someone told me what her motivation was, she had lost a sense of who she was because it was consuming her, and requested that I publish this to help her heal...
Sometimes people
hide behind their fears and insecurities, they live life seeking approval or trying
to prove a point to others by everything they do. Then at the end, they realise that all that energy
was wasted and it was not worth it afterall.
Fear,
insecurity, those are monsters and those feelings can kill. They can kill your
drive or drive you to your ruin.
Behind
smiles, there could be deep issues of insecurity, hurt, pain, fear.
Let it go, sometimes
you just need to stop, breathe, re-evaluate your motives and decide whether
your motivation is in order. Work on your shortcomings and be the best you can possibly be, then live, just live…
Hmmmm! Short but precise. Hitting the nail on the head. Funny I was thinking about something similar just a few days back.

ReplyDeleteI agree Ene, thanks for reading.
DeleteThe fears choke you until you decide to let go and drown or decide to fight. I sometimes convince myself that whatever the direction the wind takes will guide me to my destination but I know that is cowardly. Those tiny steps like Ene has mentioned are the leaps of faith that eventually motivate us, help us achieve goals, get opportunities and enjoy life even with unending challenges.
ReplyDeleteShall I oblige you to write a sequel Maryanne? Lol
