A Closed Christmas Card

Emotions are usually irrelevant in our day to day gambles, our shots towards ‘greatness’. Yet we feel that we’re always sucked into the situation, allowing emotions to get the better of us, making us make shitty decisions, forgetting who we are, why we are here. Life is not fair. It’s not. Some of us seem to be able to control emotions like their limbs. And so many of us lost the motor capability to control it anymore. We let ourselves run wild.

It’s oh so important that we always take a step back, remove ourselves from the situation, and analyse the situation from the 3rd person perspective. It’s crucial. I have learnt from Tony Robbins, Adam Khoo themselves, to ‘remove’ ourselves from the situation. For example, a lot of people would tear when they talk about something which makes them sad, like the passing of their certain someone. Yes. Because they can still feel it. They can still feel the morning dew which wets their feet on the morning of the funeral. We were created with a very powerful mind and heart, sometimes it’s difficult to comprehend its greatness.

The power of believe. The imagination. Most of us ( including me )tend to use this tool to perform another tiring and draining task – called worrying. It’s non-beneficial, distorts our analysed data, and distracts us from our main goal. But we still worry day in day out. Because our minds need creative space to grow. As simple of that. And talking about believe, do you know you are more likely to do something if you have SEEN/HEARD/MADE BELIEVE that somebody else has done it before. For example, you’ll most likely score an A in a tough subject, because you know that somebody before you have done it before. Cos within our minds, we already broke one barrier – we already convinced the mind that hey, it’s NOT impossible.

Yup. Like I said, humans are the most powerful species on earth, and yet, we are weak. We let desire and irrational thinking and illogical what nots ruin our lifes. We can’t seem to be able to master one tool which will make life great for ourselves – our minds.

Of course this world is not fair. Those that are able to live comfortably are not those who are the smartest, yet it’s those who know how to USE those who are smartest, who are able to hit it big. But this is life. You have dice in your hands. Whether you skip your turn or not, the game continues.

Over lunch with fatty bombom and yixin, we had some weird yet challenging topics which challenged the brightest amongst us. And yes – it wasn’t about the latest tech gadgets nor some smart webby which has millions of users yet still can’t sustain on its own due to a lack of a proper revenue model. It was instead about prostitutes, human emotions and our other half.

The external factors will always be against us. Those who managed to control their actions and find the best solutions will survive. When shit happens, how do you react. I'm new to the emotions game. I started by stripping all of it away, being a robot. I can say that it's been beneficial and progressing well. Without the emotions to drag us down, we meet goals quicker, we clear shit faster, we execute tasks easier. What we 'feel' not like doing, when we 'feel' that life is so tough, those are just things we come up with. Those fucking excuses wont get you no where. They'll pull you down like anchors and you'll live to regret them.
