How's Your IMPRINTS IN LIFE? No sirrrrs, lest I get doubted, we DON'T intend to swing over our prying eyes within WHAT's personal and private in your life. If there's a huge misconception with regard IMPRINTS IN LIFE, it is that misconception that we should be unique enough and even a standout at that. NO sirrr, NOT at all. If there are role models you can look up to in life, you DON'T need to reinvent the wheel. That role model could be one of your forefathers OR even historical OR national figures WHO have etched their mark either in history OR right within your life. BUT there's a catch here. We hope that 'someone' you're looking up to has the gravita and weight in terms of his/her positivities WHICH we hope will positively rub off on you as wellπππ
This is WHEN things get murkier WHEN those IMPRINTS IN LIFE get associated with either culture, religion OR even politics. This explains WHY in the realm of geopolitics, the endless global conflicts turned from bad to worst because of that indemic influence tracing back to culture, religion OR even politics. THAT regional conflict between the U.S. and Iran is only the latest major friction WHERE the 'ugly head of the monster' showed up WHEN suddenly, we witnessed the theocractic state of Iran being pitted against a wall of islamic nations, name it, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Bahrain et al. And this is ironically regrettable because WHO ever thought that a huge divide will surface across muslim countriesπππ
Enough of geopolitics, though, as we DON'T intend to crossover towards that domain now dominated by the tons of geopolitics experts we have around. Instead, can we make things like KISS [Keep It Simple, S___]? Let's step back into our personal lives down to our private closets and innermost sanctotum and do ask ourselves HOW'S YOUR IMPRINTS IN LIFE? Are you someone WHO's been fence-sitting? Someone WHO wants to thread the middle-of-the road, fearing to fray the nerves of sensitive folks? OR are you someone WHO's contented and self-assured that you have now those IMPRINTS IN LIFE that can endure the coming years [even after you bid your 'final adieu']???
Sadly, I have met countless folks WHO I know inside-out and WHO felt that they have already the IMPRINTS in their own lives. Seriously? Obviously, I should be the last one to question them on that aspect BUT deep inside, I was kind of commiserating because, as I've known them up close, I really felt that they had 'enough gas in their tank', if they beat their chest and manifest their bragging rights that they now have those IMPRINTS IN LIFE, then, with humility, I will reach out to them and kind of push them into a corner and subtly ask them if they have enough gas in their tank [because I strongly feel they do have] and if they respond in the affirmative, I'd like to challenge them to MOVE THEIR GOAL POSTS, that's the least they can do for themselvesπππ
Our takeaway: I admit I always consistently remain vociferous that we owe it to ourselves to scale up, to move our own pre-set goal posts if suddenly things look so shiny and dandy, you're kind of picking up low hanging fruits. Because that's a disservice we can do to ourselves. BTW, we're to each his own. We CAN'T impose those IMPRINTS of Bill Gates [oh no, NOT the Epstein Files, ouch] or even the Pope. Having said that, we owe it to ourselves to have our IMPRINTS IN LIFEπππ
