This is not
a motivation blog, yet no rejuvenation is completed without constantly
challenging life. Holding such perspective may be against the current,
particularly if you are living in a welfare-state country, where the direction
of mainstream might drag you towards ‘’easy life’’. You have been looked after
so well by the ‘’big government, big daddy’’, but I do believe such ‘’babysitting
system’’ could be the hindering to personal rejuvenation, also the personal
transformation.
But taking
risk also means frustration, rejection, etc., are they part of the
rejuvenation? I think it’s YES. After standing the test of adversity, you will
be born again!
So if
something sounds ‘’impossible’’, that means this is something you need to do.
Challenge the impossible, that’s the only way towards rejuvenation!
Some of
these amazing stories may be helpful: The unique design of Sydney Opera House
has become one of masterpieces representing mankind creativity and imagination;
however, back then, this entry submitted by the 38 year old Danish architect
Jorn Utzon was just one of the rejected entries. If it’s not because another
judge Eero Saarinen looking through all those rejected submissions, we will not
be able to appreciate such beautiful architecture. In my eyes, Sydney Opera
House is the best example of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s saying: ‘’Architecture
is the frozen music; music is the flowing architecture.’’
Sometimes
the ‘’unique thing’’ will be much easier to be rejected, authority has the ‘’standard’’
in mind, public also has the ‘’stereotype’’ in mind, in a word, ‘’most of
people’’ are blind. Yes, this could be a drowning process to go through; it
seems that every step that you move forward only gets you closer to the
failure.
However, it’s
just at this moment that you would have to hold on a little longer. Don’t try
to fit in any standard which seems to be helpful to ‘’make you successful’’. I
believe one thing for sure – only those things flowing from your heart, just
like vine growing out of soil, could be something really unique. Why? Because ‘’being
unique’’ also means ‘’being real’’, while if you choose to ‘’be real’’, then
you would have to suffer, for a while.
So, take a
risk, discover something unique, never
bend down, never give up,
be a new born baby every day!
