When We Get Near That 'BREAKING POINT'

When We Get Near That 'BREAKING POINT'

That 'BREAKING POINT' does not need any introduction to all of us, I guess.  At some point in our lives, either we were approaching 'BREAKING POINT' or we could have breached it, and as an aftermath, barely surviving.  But let's tap counsellors around, they would all tell us in unison that we could avert that 'BREAKING POINT', we could nip that in the bud, so to speak.  This 'BREAKING POINT' can't be compared to a lone wolf lurking from the woods in the darkest nights but rather, a 'BREAKING POINT' can be likened to an approaching locomotive train with it's light bright enough and it's horn blowing up a thousand decibels even miles away from each railroad crossing.   But as each situation is unique, we gotta figure out how to detect, discover and distinguish the rough patches ahead so we could pull the brakes, even if sudden.

Or rather, a more convenient analogy is this pencil lead.  Even before that lead reaches its 'BREAKING POINT', you would feel it when the lead is approaching that 'BREAKING POINT'.  At some point, that lead becomes kinda fragile, brittle and indeed breakable.  And if you were constrained to grab your handy sharpener over and over again, indeed that 'BREAKING POINT' is coming in, just around the corner.

📌 What then is the doctor's emergency OTC [over the counter] prescription to proactively handle this 'BREAKING POINT' ?  Hop-on that motto to GET BACK on TRACK.  Obviously, this is easier said than done.  On the other hand, this is no rocket science.  It's grappling back all your senses, regrouping and ideally, reboot and reset, akin to that troublesome laptop which is causing us stress when it hangs.

The thing is, the best bellwether is nothing else, no one else, but our very own selves.  When our usual happy face keeps frowning, let us not ignore those bellwether signs of something ominous potentially coming, to our detriment obviously.  But if you have waited long enough, there's no need to shoot your foot but do remember that you don't have much wiggle room left for you.  If there's anything obvious and imperative, you gotta 'RIGHT THE SHIP' now, pronto.  

Let's grab a quote from this poster: 'JUST TAKE THAT FIRST STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, AND YOU'LL BE BACK ON TRACK BEFORE YOU KNOW IT'.  Do note that your elbow room for your fallouts gets narrower and as you allow a score for every score you make, that makes your made points as 'moot points' because your positive results get cancelled, get negated, get offset.  Whatever gains you secured, it evaporates in thin air.

No less than Jack Johnson, the respected American singer-songwriter said: 'DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS'.  So you got derailed ?  Get back, find the rails, get back on track.  What could get you back on track ?  Get a 'good bounce', that ounce of energy to pull you back on the main track.  A token effort will hardly improve your chances.  For lack of a better term, you gotta 'kick your ass, kick your butt'.

Throw in this Covid Pandemic, now you have that recipe to fail because almost everyone of us were caught off-guarded by this pandemic.  And while this mass hysteria grips everyone of us, this is no time to lose control of the steering wheel, else our car can spin and turn 'turtle' now that we're in full throttle.  If things may be getting too far out of hand, shake it up just before you contemplate of pulling the trigger. Dude, WE CAN MAKE THINGS HAPPEN ! Just gotta make that move now, with urgency.⏳
