The Moments

The Enlightenment, the revolutions, the Modern era, the Jazz Age... like Kazuo Ishiguro writes in his novel The Remains of the Day, enormous changes and turning points as such do not arrive in the public realm of media and acknowledgement as they are—the changes that take place are more so as the conclusions and results of numerous discussions and exchanges of intellectual thoughts that happen in different small corners of the world, where one may not even expect to host the key moments to the growing and developing of grand ideas, and perhaps even to the betterment of humanity.
This makes my every day life and some small movements just that much more exciting.

Have you ever had one of those moments, take a vague example, when you venture to write an email to the staff of an institute requiring questions of what are the possibilities and opportunities that you may entail, either out of an impulse or after nights of thinking and “life” decision-making in the shower (you should try that), and you feel this rush of exhilaration of ambition, happiness, hopes, and basically adrenaline through your body to your mind, and you think: “this is it.” That could be just it—one of the moments, and let me emphasize again, THE moment, that brings you onto the path which leads you to somewhere you may have been dreaming to be, or which actually pushes your own limits which you thought were the most you could do with the underestimated ability and courage that you have, or more so, had, since now you have overcome your underestimation of yourself and successfully “exceeded” yourself. No matter where the path takes you, which may not be the destination where you want to be exactly, but it is certainly on the way there, and many steps away from where you started.
Recently I came across one of Bruce Lee’s inspirational philosophies: “Running water never grows stale. So you just have to keep on flowing.”
I am so blessed to have encountered those opportunities that I took, which are now opening more and more doors to new possibilities. Be the running water, and keep flowing. Like the saying, “The only thing that is constant in the world is change.” Only constant changes will bring you to continuously expand your world and maintain the energy that we all once have. Push and pull to constantly make “the moments” happen. Motivation is not something that is possible of staying by our side at all times, but it is surely something that if we keep flowing, we will come across it and emerge into one great magnificent energy without even knowing.
Roller coasters have ups, downs, and loops. WIthout any one of them, especially the downs, the ups will not be as fun, the loops would not even exist.
