Life is a Tragedy, but You Can Play It Like a Strategy (Strategy #1)

#1 Strategy: DON’T DO ANYTHING MEANINGFUL AT THE EXPENSE OF THE OTHER ONES.

Throughout my entire life, I have got to know many things and gained a lot of experiences. One of which is that life is not easy. Whether whoever you are, you cannot escape from the tragedy of your life.

Some people wish they were rich so that their life would be better.

Some people wish they were beautiful (even though they are not ugly, given the fact that people are unique) so that they would become more popular or even get loved by someone they want to have in their lives.

Thinking about it, it’s so ridiculous to me, though.

As I grow up, I know I want more for myself. I want to grow up to be a person that I want to become, and if I can’t, I am afraid that I might stuck to the same old me.

But, who cares?

While no one cares, I believe that most of us still beat ourselves up because we are not living up to what we could become. To what we want to be, but do nothing to be in that position.

I am still young, but sometimes, I honestly feel that everything is gone already. I can’t be someone I could be anymore.

Yeah, I know it’s stupid, but I can’t help it.

It’s embedded in human’s minds if you think deeply.

Today, in this very post, I don’t know how many of you in the world would be able to see this, or even click to read this article, but I hope that this one would inspire you a bit if not much.

One thing I want to share now is that for everyone who reads along, is that life is suffering for all of us. I hope you don’t wish for anything else that could make you happy. I hope if you wish to become a better person, and to develop yourself to become someone you could be, but don’t beat yourself up for that.

It’s not worth it.

I believe that if you want something, go for it, but along the way I want you to know that you will face many difficulties and predicament. That’s why you need to take your time, and enjoy the essence of your life, rather than focus too much on the abstract thing called ‘goal’.

Say, you are in college. You are in a competition for good grades and stuff because it’s your goal to be the top so that it’s convenient for the future.

If you have this goal, I wish you luck. I wish you will be able to achieve it, but please don’t forget that you have a family, friends, and a lot of things you need to be good at as well.

Take a few moments to reflect on what you do.

If you reach your goal, will that be enough for you?

Do you need anything else?

Don’t do something at the expense of other important things.

Keep track of all of them so that if you achieve your goal, you will have someone to be happy for you, or at least you won’t regret it.

That’s it for today.

If you find something valuable here, please share.
