A Gift and a Curse

 A Gift and a Curse

🎐We all cherish gifts and we all loathe curses but here's the catch, some things in life can be both a gift and a curse.  Take it or leave it, that's the stark reality.  How many times have we gave out all we can squeeze out from our own self, wanting to accomplish so bad that you'll really do anything even it means hurting yourself in the long run.  These are the very hallmarks of success stories in sports, boxing and basketball being the most common arena where we stumble across those sports heroes whose contagious discipline we always wanted to replicate in us.

So, I guess this is the last debate that can ever happen, debating whether our mind is both a gift and a curse because it really is.  That is our command center, our control tower and in our moments of turmoil, our mind is our very war room.  Even beyond the nerves which go straight to dictate both our behavioral and even our involuntary acts, we may be aware of just 5% of our cognitive activity and yet that doesn't undervalue the essential need for us to tighten our hold on our minds simply because of its very peculiarity that it can be either our 'greatest ally or our worst enemy' because most of our successes and even fumbling acts are all traceable to our mind.

This explains why we always end up full circle either lucid and coherent or the next moment be as confused and lost.  And the game changer or game wrecker could be a judgment call that bordered on being coherent till it tilted to become that incomprehensible and incoherent.  

How do we get out of this quandary ?  Let's go back to basics by always listing all the options we have at hand, comparing them 'apples to apples' and give yourself a deadline for that decision point.  When things are kinda iffy, sleep on it and when you wake up, voila, grapple with the variables and decide on it

Bottomline is, if you need to fix things. go and fix it because all that matters is that you gotta turn your life around.

Some lives are in limbo, some get stalled, some are in a 'state of stupor'.  Either way, you don't deserve that downward trajectory of your life.  You gotta do what it takes, even if it all boils down to taking a "U Turn", admitting your fault and rectifying it, in no mean terms.
