There are times when life can put you in a loop - a process of repetitive actions that occurs on a day to day basis. It can get so repetitive that sometimes you feel like it's something you can't get away from, that you're constantly stuck; like a current that constantly washes you over to the same flow of direction it takes you, and that no matter how hard you try to fight it - it's futile. Even though you tried so hard and how many times, it always feels like you're back to square one.
So, we just let the current take us wherever it pleases; but it's usually a constant whirlpool of never-ending works in school or in the office, even inside the house. We go through different levels in life but usually with the same never-ending process of repetition in the things we do. We eat, sleep, try to strive for education, a degree, a job - then survive and repeat. We never even wonder why - why we do these things we do?
We often don't question these loops that occur in our lives because it happened so many times that we feel like this is the norm; and that, this is what we were specifically made and born to do. We are born into a society we should work for and please because it has been instilled in us since the day we are brought into this world. That this is how we should act. That we are born with the idea in our minds that success in life is to acquire abundance in money - but it's not. We have a bigger purpose than just study and work all the time in the whole span of our lives.
I believe we are more than just the education we acquire, the degree we achieve and the job we worked hard for. We are equipped to make a change not just in our lives, but with the people we meet along the way. That if we try hard enough to fight the current that washes us away towards something we should be, then maybe we can no longer be in the never-ending whirlpool of life that makes us feel stuck and gets us nowhere. Instead, we should strive to be ripples that create and affect change wherever we may be in this current because - that's how we are supposed to be.
That is how we are made to be.
Whenever you're feeling like you're always stuck in that loop, find something that could start a fire inside you and inspire you to make that change, to take that risk. Whether it be an inspirational book, a video or a quote you just read, your friend, your family. Just about anything that could create that ripple in your life - find that catalyst. Then, you just won't see small ripples in your life, but waves after waves of great change that you caused, that you ignited.
