When Things Get Slow, Get Unyielding Perseverance
I could do a standard article very easily about motivation
and how to get motivated, but it would sound like total tripe. I am going to do
an article on when existence and life become like a traffic jam and too slow
for patience. I am going to do an article on pushing to the front when things
become jammed. I am going to do an article on situations in life that require
that patience that moves a "giant iron ball" with strength, grits and
more. For in existence and life, there are some goals worth not yielding on,
and your genuine aspirations are one of them. When I think of techniques of
coping, unyielding resolve and perseverance come to mind. Especially as I think
of when life gets "too slow for comfort" at times or "a traffic
jam happens" at an important point in progress.
Today, at times in this day, I understand and feel (in that
order) I am at the point where unyielding resolve and perseverance are needed,
especially when everything seems to be standing still and going nowhere except
for "business as usual".
Listen, let me bring this down a bit. We cannot always have
forward movement in life that flows "right". Sometimes, we all have
those down times where the flow seems to stop, that is when we must become
unyielding and powerful. For within those down times are the best opportunities
for development really when thought about seriously and taken as such
seriously.
Existence is in that vein as good as we let it be. What I
mean by that statement is: We can either perceive the down times as times to
quit or times to develop in genuinely better ways. Me, I prefer not to quit,
but to develop in genuinely better ways. That is the crux point of what this
article is about also: Unyielding perseverance is what genuine progress comes
down to slow and hard or fast and easy. It is not how we are in ease and speedy
development that defines our power, but it is how we are when it is slow and
hard that defines us, really. If everything is going smooth, fast and good, it
is almost always easy to deal. But what defines us is how we use the down times
or times of inconvenience that shows our power or weakness.
I was thinking of a scene from the Bruce Lee movie
"Enter The Dragon" where Bruce Lee sat down to meditate instead of
try to force the issue and fight his way out. Sometimes, traffic jams in life
and stoppages are just like that, we must be all right with it and develop the
power to win over them. Know that the real loss is giving up genuinely, and
that there are more ways to do it. For if it is conceivable rationally in
consciousness, it is possible. What do you think the first and only genuine law
of invention is? In my opinion it is this: Whatever the mind can conceive and
genuinely believe it can achieve. After all flying machines and light bulbs
were considered impossible against the same principle until they were invented,
right? The possible can be conceived, believed and achieved if there is the
resolve and perseverance to genuinely do it.
