Take a Moment for Yourself

Life is exactly what you think of it, find your ways to enjoy it.

You stay informed by reading the news, listening to others, and conducting your own research. So why are we, as humanity, still facing the same challenges?

The issue lies in our reluctance to embrace different perspectives. We often compare ourselves to others, placing blame and imposing punishment due to our own ignorance. Bound by societal 'truths', we remain constantly engaged and opinionated, feeding our ever growing inner discontent and further distancing ourselves from reality.

Take a moment to reflect,
beyond superficial distractions.

I've spent much of my life absorbing others' viewpoints, only to realize my very own ignorance on my identity and purpose. By distancing myself from these influences, I've gained clarity, focus, direction, and found my character. I realized that the mainstream and the alternative are one and the same; conflict and chaos. Instead of wasting time on unnecessary division, we should seek out the balance; the equilibrium in life. The answers will come to us when we start to see everything as an interconnected whole, and act upon it as such.

Communication often feels futile because, despite the apparent agreement we have among each other, behavior and actions remain unchanged. This cycle perpetuates the ignorance we live in. We all yearn for a better world, yet we remain grounded in a reality dictated by societal 'truths'. It's time for all of us to wake up — for good this time, to step out of our comfort zones, and actively pursue our dreams. It doesn't matter how you do it, as long as you do it. Only the river knows where you'll end up, and that's perfectly fine.
