The Time Factor March 26, 2009

Used to hearing “You’re too old for that or you’re too young to be doing that?” I think in one’s life when you wanted to strive for your own personal dreams, you either hear one of those lines I just mentioned. I know most of the times I procrastinate in wanting to achieve some goals, be it in short or long term. Maybe too much fear clouded my mind that I just diminish the thought of moving forward with whatever silly ideas I had. At least that’s what they told me to believe.
In any rightful mind now, it’s crazy to be awake at 3am and could not care less to sleep even though the body indicates so. The words keep repeating in my head, as if it’s chanting out for help. I am bothered because I find there’s truth in those words. It’s like Father Time appearing in my most silent nights showing me that he will not stop for anyone and somehow in that reflection I saw myself aging. But at the same time, I wanted to deny this truth because I do not want the time factor to be the cause of me not doing anything at all. Because of the word ‘old’, all the things that you wanted to do practically have to be put into halt and shall not even be considered. To be young is to be daring and not to be taken aback with the line “You’re young to be doing that, let your senior(anyone older than you) do it for you.”
It’s funny how words as simple as that can affect me tremendously. I acknowledged that time is running short for me to start some dreams but I do not want my dreams remains as it is simply because I’m too old to achieve anything at this rate. If some dreams worth fighting for, then the age should not be the obstacle to stop me. At least not to give up without trying.
And what she said it’s true; there’s must be some timeline. Without it is just like a seed you planted without water.
Apparently Babe, those are the common sentences one will hear. I myself also experience that. All I can say is we have to take the bold step and ignore what people say. Achieving what we would like to achieve can only be done by ourselves. Those stopping us to do so are merely afraid or jealous coz they cannot do it. There is no one who can help us except our own self to achieve or do whatever we want.
Our worst enemies are “Procrastination” and “Will Power”. Why I said Will Power is because we have it but it’s not strong enough to make us to take the first step. Fear of unknown is much greater than Fear of not being able to achieve our dreams. I guess that’s just being human. :S
Yes. You are right. Like me. After being brainwashed than I’m being reluctant to make the change. No one knows for sure if I have took that very step, what changes or rather what will happen to me. To make it sound nice, I’m being a good daughter, obeying parents. Hahaha… Who knows the real story behind it.
Sorry for the typo error here and there. Brain is working extra hard that it seems overloaded. Therefore, mistakes here and there.
So wat’s ur dream,ronnie??
Hi, Mel here! I just started my very first blog post: http://ngelly.wordpress.com/
Finally, right? Warning: My blog contents some mature language cos I was very pissed and fed up at the point of writing. Sorry if I offended anyone.
And Shay, it’s never too late to try anything.
My dreams would be many. I will keep it before its time to be revealed. Till then, I hope you will be patient with me Bubu..
Thanks Mel, for the encouragement. We cannot deny life’s achievements are what most of us seeking for. I’m upset with myself for procrastinating on things that need to be attended in a much earlier time. Now that time is gone, I know I must make use of my time now. I’m just worried I will fall back to my old manner. I guess I just need to tell myself that.
Nothing in life comes fine-print-free. Part of growing is accepting the cost of all decisions in life.
“What is our greatest fear? Our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. That our shining light wills others to shine as equally bright.”
You can do it if you will it…..
