Script a New Story for Yourself: 2. Embrace endless possibilities

Embrace endless possibilities to see the future you want

中文版

In many ways, we are the result of our desires, beliefs, and actions. We are also the by-product of our own imagination, manifested in the form of a vision.

Facing difficult situations is simply a matter of life. And the only fair thing about life is that everyone faces hardships sometime in their life, no matter who they are. We need to accept the fact that fairness is a human idea. Life, in and of itself, is not fair. Life doesn’t revolve around being good to you, or even tearing you down. Life just is. So there is little benefit in comparing your lot to that of others and feeling down if you think someone has been treated fairer by life.

But despite the inevitability of some difficulties in our lives, we all have the choice of not giving in to our situation. We simply need to focus on the fact of where we are, be optimistic about where we can be, and adopt an appropriate attitude to move on. What matters most is not giving in when we are faced with hardships, and how we manage to turn things to our benefit. Our aim is to take a step up or to stand still to be more grounded and strong.

In the event of deciding what we want and where we want to be, consider the following steps:

Decide what you want

Determine what you don’t want

Imagine the kinds of experiences or achievements you want

Think on the footprint, memories or legacy you wish to leave behind

Think of the above as a blueprint for how you can live your life, and make it as vivid to your being and thinking as you can. You get out of your life, what you put in. Be mindful that what we want and who we are will change with time. So, it’s always good to keep checking in on yourself to make sure the course you are charting is still right for you.
