Connection - A simple yet powerful word

Never once have I stumbled across this word. It took me a while to realize how strong this word actually was. Connection is what makes everything possible. Be it an internet connection, relationship connection, business or political connection, it is the most important word that makes those happen.

Everything in the world is about connection. A bad internet connection leaves both parties subscribers and customers to suffer. The same applies for relationship. No matter how perfect one side could be, it’s the connection that speaks the most. Two perfect people could suit each other in many different ways but without the connection, the relationship would not work out. In this case, I call the connection as love. In many cases, couples got together being impressed by the one of the parties. These couples would think that they are in love. I make a very bold move by branding this a relationship instead of love. The connection is not pure and could be artificially created in the mental world. For many who are tolerate, it’s the give and take that makes up a relationship and are satisfied without the element of connection.

I’m lucky to have experienced this twice in my life. And since I’ve experienced it, I would not revert back to a relationship without connection. I think that is the problem that I did not understand for years which explains why I have been single. I am not interested in the pride of being in a relationship. I was searching for a connection.

I hope that such connection would occur to me again but I am willing to accept the worse. After all, it does make me cherish the past moments more and I’m more than glad to have experienced it.

The Synergy of Energy and Law of Attraction

I remember the first time I was handed a book by Shao Nian known as the secret by Rhonda Byrne. I didn’t really read it then until I watched the movie with my parents a year later. It was an interesting movie which helps motivate people to reach the goals that they desire in life. The movie shows live examples of people achieving what they dreamt of by jotting down the goals and think of it religiously. To their astonishment, they actually succeeded in reaching their goals and only realized it when they recovered the goals that they jotted down n years back.

The movie depicted that the goals were as easy to achieve by just thinking of it religiously. Does this really happen in real life? One might argue that the model does work because by thinking of your goals religiously you would be more positive that your goals are actually achievable instead of strong pessimism that your goals are beyond the universe.

After giving myself some time to think of it, I don’t think the model works entirely. Since law of attraction theorizes itself as an energy attracting the physical world to come closer to you, there must be an energy from within (mental) that complements the synergy. And this energy that I have identified is called commitment.

A commitment isn’t something that intensifies and relaxes at any given time. Commitment is the continuous act which builds onto its previous committed act which if stopped at any given time would cause a collapse. Commitment is where a person who would give up anything to pursue their belief even if the world is against it. This person is also normally being known as a psycho.

The law of attraction flaws in a way which it does not offer practical actions to welcome success but is a good tool in opening up a person’s motivational gateway. Combine a psycho’s level of commitment energy, it is hard to deny that the person has a high chance of succeeding. I personally think that law of attraction does exist but we don’t realize it. Moments that we think that we could do it but at the same time doubting our abilities would just end up in failure. Negative energies are always stronger than the positive ones.

Realizing that scientists and businessmen have this combination in common, should I take this chance to experience the life of a psycho?

What is the right question?

Being alive for 11978100 minutes, it has finally caught my mind that I had been missing out on numerous key questions. I’m trying hard to answer those questions but looks like it would only be answered in another 47912400 minutes.

What is life about? This question is almost as cliché as Adidas tagline – Nothing is impossible. I’m not interested in this topic as it offers little practical stance and is a weak motivational tool. So what is the question in my mind now? The possibility of nothing is impossible could be a possible question and we shall come to that shortly.

I have been lucky throughout my life and I have always held the thought that I would be blessed until I sleep tight in my coffin. Am I right to assume that I was assigned by God to this space and time to achieve something hence deserving the blessing or is it all down to the hard work I laid down over the years? I have to admit that I’m currently in the biggest dump since birth. It didn’t happen overnight. It was accumulated in these few recent unproductive years. Let’s take option A, if I do believe that all these are part of God’s guide to life to me, should I be worried of my current situation?

Let’s take option B now. Does effort mean reward? I was looking into the dark sky and wandered at the bright shiny stars. Those stars didn’t feel far from me at all, but to know that the light from it travelled over hundred million years to be witnessed by my naked eyes, it felt truly astonishing. I would like to draw parallels of this scenario with the tagline nothing is impossible to provide the base to take on option B. Surely, for something to take a few hundred million years to travel to its destination is definitely near impossible, or at least, impossible for humans. But the fact is it happened. The impossible could be possible. For us humans, we always have similar taglines to push ourselves to the limits. To achieve the impossible, the power of the human soul is called in and often backed by the tagline – there’s a will, there’s a way. We humans would never doubt our souls, but the will. The soul provides us the energy and power to achieve the impossible, and it relies on the will to unlock the soul’s unlimited potential. The result of will is effort and the result of effort is reward.

The sequence is therefore Soul -> Will-> Effort -> Reward

The equation makes sense? It should, but I no longer believe in it. Laying out possibly the most generous amount of trust, passion and love I could ever offer for the past 7 years, I ended up with a never-attainable imagination. Hurt, learning it the hard way, I stopped believing effort. Instead of achieving my reward, it became my own enemy. The cliff that I piled with my effort, made me fall deeper in the sea of depression.

Now, I happened to be at the crossroad where I was before. Should I give effort a chance to redeem itself or should I follow what my lesson taught me?
