I was afraid of pain, challenges, and loss for most of my life. Today (I wrote this text on the 31st of October, 2022), I am not scared of it anymore.
The romance with frigid temperatures gave me a tremendous lesson. It taught that the fear of something is the worst thing people can experience, not the pain itself. Everything starts and ends in one’s mind. Most people are scared of the cold. When they feel cold, when their fingertips or ears start to hurt, they immediately seek a rescue, that is, a warm place. They are afraid that they will be ill. In most cases, they are right. Their organisms do not get used to cold. If their mind tells them they will be ill, they will be. It is not magic. It is the mind’s power. Our minds can destroy us or make us demigods. I chose the latter option. Exposing my body to cold and not fearing it helped in my life. I am not scared of challenges anymore. Contrary. I seek opportunities in my life.
Moreover, something like loss does not exist for me.
Even if I try doing something and the results are wrong (many would name it a “loss”), I know it would be only testing something and learning new things. It would be a process of trying to understand the surrounding reality. That’s why I decided to publish one post daily after more than a month of working as a Financial Manager. I believe in myself. Thus, I want to prove to myself that it is possible to have a successful professional job on the one hand and realize one’s soul, mind, and heart in passion on the other hand. What if I am wrong? What if I “lose?” I will get up, expose my body to pain by taking a cold shower or walking in frigid temperatures, and seek new challenges. Why? Because life without them is dull. After all, sooner or later, we all will die.
