Aspirations N Inspirations
Aspirations N Inspirations.
If you have that couple of elements constantly bubbling around in your head, you are on the right track. You live for a reason, not merely because of a mistake committed by two souls at the backseat of a car or after a night's deep of martinis. You need these two suckers to get you to a point where a reason to live is found and not allow misery or hollowness to devour the very essence of your existence.
Aspiration, a much needed element to keep you on your feet. You need that extra something or someone who is up there to show their faces and light the path. I know, that sounds pretty cliche and rather idealistic. However, life is designed to work in the most peculiar of ways. It dishes out shit and you my friend are expected to either shield yourself from it or clean up after the mess. The mess, its not merely a materially unpleasant sight, it happens to also include the baggage of emotional and mental mess, distress. Therefore, we need that bit of prowess to drive our turbines or else we would eventually submit to the calls of the Angels of death. Aspirations give a macro view of life and at the same time, zooms in on a particular path that you find appealing. So you see, its not entirely technical this world. It is also about fulfilling your wants. The key to doing so is to focus NOT on a direct path to your wants, but on a path that leads you there. Leads, so that it could accomodate neccessary enrichments that facilitates the mental, emotional and physical enhancements and improvements. This damn well explains why Gandhi. Nelson Mandela, Che Guevarra, Fidel Castro, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Albert Einstein, Frank Gehry, Marie Curie, Thierry Henry (the list goes on) are revered by people around the world. Its a healthy obsession, that displays the desire to be something else, or someone else, and THAT is bloody well healthy.
Inspiration, the other half of the above element, also a much needed factor to live. Without inspiration there is no motivation. Without motivation, you live in a dormant quarter devoid of progress and disillusioned by your contentment or none at all. Again, this brings you a mile closer to the submission of yourself to Death. The essence of inspiration is to keep you alive. Inspires you to reach for your aspirations and not give up half way there. That seems to be really common amongst us, homo sapiens. Its sad really. But it happens, and we should stop letting it happen.
"Stones taught me to fly
Love,it taught me to lie
Life, it taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball."
