Why are we afraid to face the truth?
Every day we worry about tomorrow's problem. Every moment we try to think of excuses because we are answerable to our family, friends and loved ones. People need an explanation for every "why?" you face in your life.
So, what do we do? We can't escape our problems and worst, we can't escape people either. In such circumstances, we do the best possible thing and that is , we lie. however, believe me, it's not an easy task. People are smarter these days and you can't fool them . so, what we do then is , we innovate. We innovate ideas which look genuine.
So, when your boyfriend tells you that he wanted to become an interpreneur, then certainly he is out of job or struggling to get one. Again, while you are preparing for your exams and your friend suddenly visits you and complains about how tough is the subject, then be sure that he/she has completed the course or is about to do it soon.
Apart from telling lies to others, we lie to ourselves also. We are so timid that we can't face ourselves either. We tend to believe that everything will be all right. We tend to see things in a different angle, just to avoid the stress. My facebook account suggest me to be friends with a lot of girls. I tend to believe those suggestions as requests and i feel good. So, i avoid reality and that's what we all do.
Problems are like ants, the moment you think life to be sweet, they show up. We can't go up in space to escape problems because space shuttles are meant for exploring, not escaping. We can't go down either because the only things that can go down is water and drilling machine. The biggest mistake we make is to ignore them. Once we start ignoring problems, they pile up. Have you ever piled up paper bundles? We pile one over the other and after attaining a certain height, they fall heavily on us. It's same with problems. There is a certain limit and even if the height attained is small, they create major problems .
We all want to become professionals but certainly not professional liers. What we are today is because of what we created it yesterday. So, if you are not satisfied with your present, then do not make the mistake of brooding over your problems. Every moment of today will define our tomorrow.
Face today's adversities with courage. It actually introduces you to yourself and once we discover ourself, then there's no looking back. We have two dilemmas in life: we want our dreams and desires to be fulfilled and the other is to live like others. If we follow the later , we remain as an audience who claps for the person on stage who is a star because he believed in himself. And every time we clap, the heart aches because we had once desired to be there.
We are afraid because we have limitations. We are afraid to get exposed. We definitely feel secured within the periphery of our home. However, it's when we move out and explore, that we know our actual worth. It's true that we will face hardship, we will encounter obstacles, but it's also important that we hang on. Those are bad times but the beauty of time is that they pass and once it happens and you emerge out of it, you are someone different and even if you don't became that star in the stage, you definitely have a new respect for yourself.
The most satisfying thing is that you followed your dream, something you believed fiercely. so, wake up and get out of your comfort zone. It's time to act professionally.
