0 Whatever It Takes

-9.6.2021- I am establishing a habit as a writer. It's getting easier and easier to just sit down and write in the morning. I am happy and feel more powerful since I claim my responsibility and not leave it to the fate anymore. I used to think that whatever happened in my life was not my choice. It couldn't happen differently. All possibilities were just imagination. Now I realize that whatever I believe, it becomes my reality. The past is the past, nothing I can do about it. I don't regret it. I learn from it to get better in the future. Now I'm establishing several positive habits; writing, meditation, exercise, eating healthy, reading. I'm always choosing and changing at the same time. Whatever I choose, it changes the trajectory of my life. I'm free to do anything as long as my mind believe it. Now, while I'm writing this, I can just stop and go on, I can sit on stand up, I can take off my shirt or wear jacket, I have unlimited options. The limit is inside my mind. For some people, writing is not at all their choice because they don't think about it. What I can think, I can do. Thinking is the start of creation. If I think I can run 100km every day, indeed I can start to do it. I can just do it. It becomes reality merely depends on my choice, depend on the decision I make. I can decide to start writing 10 pages every day. It's not impossible at all as long as my mind said so. My body will follow sooner or later. I can practice then fail, practice again, fail again, until I can do it successfully. This is the process of creation. If I have strong reason to do something, nothing can stop me from doing it. What pazzling is that some people want to be rich and end up being poor, some people want to have great body shape and do nothing to realize it, some people want to learn a new language and spend their time doing something else. If they do whatever it takes, they will make it. I one want to earn 10M per month, he will do differently from the one who only want to earn 2M per month. It's a mental game. One can only hit a target he aim at. If I don't aim at writing 10 pages a day, there is nothing in this world can take me there. But if I have the target, and I aim at it, then I will do it. Nothing can stop me, not even failures. I will do it whatever it takes. Maybe it takes hours and hours in the beginning. Bit by bit it becomes easier and easier when I get used to it. A man can get used to anything. What stop people from pursuing their goals is mental weakness. When they fail they say, "It's my fate" and give up sooner or later, mostly sooner. They don't have right attitude because they don't have right believe from the start. If they believe they have the power to do it, they can do it. It's just the matter of time and method. People want to be wealthy, healthy and happy. They don't do whatever it takes to have them. Instead, they waste their time complaining about everything, gossiping about others, fighting on social media, consuming junk information and news, spending their whole life to work for others and to access useless entertainment on the internet. What they should do is to make a grand plan of their lives. Take the first step to start the long journey. Their lives will be different and they will feel power. Life becomes simpler. People's mind is occupied by fear. They fear everything, even to something doesn't exist at all. Fear comes from ignorance. Therefore ignorance is the most evil enemy. People are ignorance to a lot of things. There is no way they know everything. They should realize their own ignorance in order to be able to handle it properly. If I want wealth, I need to learn about it and decrease my ignorance about it. More I learn, more I know how to deal with it. So knowledge is the true good and power. If I know something very well, I'll be confidence and no more fear and doubt. I can get what I want as long as I know how to get it. If I know how not to stop, I can keep going. So when fear comes, I need to pay attention to it and break it with knowledge. It will take hours for me to continue this writing to ten pages, let’s try. I will do my best. I'll do it whatever it takes. I know I can make it because I can imagine it. Imagination and reality is not that different. It mingles each other and very similar in nature. Once Zhuang zi dreamt himself to be a butterfly and when he woke up he wondered whether his reality was a dream and his dream was reality. Whether he was actually a butterfly dreaming became human or a human dreaming became butterfly. The dream and reality are not different in the brain. Therefore people live in their own created world. If they are knowledgeable, they live literally in wider world. If they only know their on small village and never step on another places, their world is just that small village. My parents cannot use smartphone and computer so they don't have the world of Facebook, instagram, YouTube, Google and so on. People live on their own created world. It's scary for them to step out from their created world. They won't do that. It won't be pleasurable. It's suffering to face the fear and unknown. For me I never fly alone, I never go to another country, I never drive a car. Doing those things need courage and determination. While for others they are just natural and nothing special, unworthy to mention them in a conversation just as easy as drinking a glass of water in the kitchen, they can do it anytime with no feeling at all. This is mental game I need to get used to it. At least I have to face my fear and live broader life and feel free. Fear is the invisible jail I created by myself unintentionally. No one else can give me the freedom from my own jail but myself. I think it's worth the effort to live free life and becomes more powerful. I'll be able to drive soon. I will learn bravely and I'll do what it takes to be good at it. Long ago I couldn't swim. I thought I wouldn't be able to swim forever. But after so many attempts I made it. I enjoyed swimming very much from that day on. I can see now that driving is the same thing. I will enjoy it very much when I get the skill. I'll get more power and feel more confidence. Now, I am aiming at writing 10 pages every day. It's not 10 pages yet, but it's getting closer and closer. I won't give up. I know how to improve gradually, bit by bit, step by step. The process is important. One must learn to crawl before he can walk and then run. I just need to write a little bit longer every morning. Sooner or later I will be able to write 10 pages every day. The day will come before I even realize it.
