Move and the Right Life Path Will Appear

October 10, 2017

Move and the right life path will appear. It may not happen today, or tomorrow, but every step you take firmly clears the mind and makes opportunities emerge. It also doesn’t matter how many times you have gotten lost, because down every wrong path you have found yourself. And this is, without a doubt the most valuable lesson.

Life is movement, and if we don’t accept this from the very beginning, we will be relegated to the ostracism of those who don’t understand that changes bring opportunities. Also, it’s not enough to simply wait for happiness to come knocking on its own. Every accomplishment is reached through struggle. All success occurs after a hard dedication of someone who invests their time, someone who understands sacrifice. The kind of person who refuses to accept the word surrender.

“Just take the first step and the rest of the journey will appear as you walk forward.”
-Martin Luther King-

Now, there’s something that sometimes fails in this formula. We have been taught since childhood the idea that we should be able to fight for our dreams. We strive to cultivate ourselves through studies, we feed our hopes and expect to one day become that specialized, precise machine. One capable of creating a better world where our efforts and worth will be taken into account. However, this doesn’t always occur. Just as the journalist specializing in human rights, Nicholas Kristof, once explained, we have reached a point in our modern society where all opportunities seem to have come to an end. Or, more concretely, “equal opportunities” have come to an end. It may seem fatalistic, there’s no doubt, but many people will agree that at times it’s not enough to fight to the point of exhaustion in order to reach success. We are faced with a formula that starts failing and which maybe requires another approach. We have to start down another type of road. We invite you to discover it below.

The life path of inequality and personal chaos

Michael Spence won the nobel prize of economy in 2001. Just as he explains through various articles, we have reached a point where there is a general rule of thumb that almost never fails. The greater wealth or degree of modernity a country has, the greater the social inequality. Economic evolution doesn’t go hand-in-hand with humanitarian evolution, nor does it evolve along with personal rights. And these rights are what dignify us as a species. It’s as if we have gone back to the mentality of the Middle Ages, where the elite were at the top. Below, there was the middle class, in serious danger of extinction.

“If you light a lamp for someone else, you’ll be lighting your own way.”
–Buddhist proverb-

This isn’t the time to delve into political issues, but we are facing a reality that has a clear impact on our psychological health. The personal chaos that this context can lead us to is immense, that’s why it’s vital that we maintain our inner compass in order to learn how to survive in an ever-changing environment. At times it is relentless and very insensitive to the needs of the individuals.

It’s very possible that for a long time we have channeled our vital strategy in an wrong way. We seek our path in the external world. We have worn away the soles of our shoes and exhausted our hearts in search of opportunities among various paths, streams and winding roads that have lead us nowhere. Maybe it’s the time to direct our gaze somewhere else: within.

Up next, we will explain what this new proposal consists of.

Inner movement and creation

Like Carl Gustav Jung said, if we look outwards, we dream. But, if we turn our gaze inwards, we wake up. Well, then it is time to wake up. Regardless of your age, whether you are a teenager or if you’ve already experienced sixty winters. The truth is that there are still an infinite number of springs. And, you must fully enjoy them by initiating an inner revolution.

We have spent half a life conjugating the verb “seek“. We seek a job, a mate, seek new opportunities and that longed happiness with which we may feel alive. It’s time to use another verb: “create in order to allow ourselves to be found“. Let’s take a look at the steps we must follow.

Keys to finding your own life path

Something that personal growth specialists propose is that we should first understand what we’re facing. Acknowledging our enemy instead of offering resistance can help us have a more realistic view of things.

Inner connection. Currently, there’s an aspect that is evermore gathering a greater amount of relevance: intuitions. He who is capable of listening, trusting and understanding their own intuitions will have a real connection to his needs. Furthermore, he will obtain that vital and unconscious lesson which forms part of our personality.

Dealing with contradiction. If there’s something we have to face every day, it’s contradiction. If I have so much to offer, why is nobody taking me into account? Why am I being rejected? Is it maybe that I’m not good enough for the world? The danger behind this type of vital contradictions is that they undermine our self-esteem. Let’s leave aside this continuous stand off in order to become aware of our strengths, aptitudes and skills. Let’s reinforce them.

In a world of people who are all alike, dare to be different. Up until now, you have found your path by moving in the same direction as everyone else. There are much too many people doing the same thing, society and the education received has been in charge of giving the world similar people who think the same way. Thus, what if we try to be different?

Delve into your abilities in order to explore them and offer new things to this demanding society. Instead of seeking, dare to create, innovate, give shape to a path that emerges directly from your own heart in order to seduce others. At the end of the day, success isn’t found in power. Success is found in doing that which makes you happy while you serve as inspiration for others.
