Is TRYING Really TRYING?
We have to admit this. Human beings are born curious, a trait that we somehow lose as the burdens of responsibility weigh heavily on our shoulders. TRYING new things is paramount to being successful. So, WHEN was the last time you did something for the first time? And after going through it, the outcome was messy. So you wanted to fix it. And that is life. Fixing WHAT we completed. Tweaking WHAT we did. And even fine-tuning something even if it worked well. So, the big ASK is, Is TRYING Really TRYING? Honestly, in the past, WHENEVER I heard TRYING, I blurted "THAT'S NOT ENOUGH" but I'm ok to do this 180-degree turn to correct the misconception that TRYING IS TRYING [because it is NOT]πππ
Truth is, there is always that feeling of accomplishment [and we can add DELIGHT] WHEN we try something new. So, is this your usual routine? Waking up, getting ready, grabbing a cup of coffee and bagel at the local cafe, work and then buy takeaways for your dinner. This sounds boring because most of us do this practically almost everyday. Honestly, I'll be the first one to admit that performing repetitive routine literally saps the life out of our existence [and yes, sometimes, it DOESN'T look healthy]. WHAT do we do then? WHY DON'T we consider to TRY something newπ§π§π§
C'mon, I'm sure we NEVER run out of excuses to remain 'mediocre' in life. Oooops, before I get bashed, I am NOT implying that everyone wants to be mediocre [because surely NO one wants to be one]. BUT in real life though, WHEN we want to remain stuck in our comfort zone, that is by default embracing mediocrity. So, WHAT can swing us over to initiate NEW things? HOW about re-emphasizing our strengths? Do you have a role model? WHAT qualities enamored you to them? I am making a wild guess here that their zeal and passion for TRYING new things is one of them. They must be unapologetic and willing to throw out everything to experience something NEWπ₯π₯π₯
Now, if only we will seek MORE in life, then there might be emptiness that is filled WHEN you try NEW things. The only way they can do this is by trying something NEW, which will likely boost their confidence and belief in themselves. WHAT matters as well is our appreciation of other people's experiences. Besides your immediate circle, aside from WHAT is narrated within your environment, I did stumble across people whose myopic idea of something NEW seem to enlarge their ignorance❎❎❎
Our takeaway: Let's simplify this web of complexity. As we learn a new language, OR even as simple as tasting a new food, we are opening ourselves to understand other cultures and people. We end up gaining insights into the WHYs and HOWs and appreciate them as humans. As they say, experience is the best teacher BUT admittedly, it can only happen WHEN we try NEW things. So, is TRYING REALLY TRYING? Me thinks it is as simple as lifting your finger to TRY something NEW in lifeπππ
