What We Look For
December 23rd 2007 03:59
Hey,
Firstly, I'm really sorry for the length in between these types of blogs. Many things have occurred and it has been a little overwhelming to find a significant amount of time in writing these blogs. At the same time, I've been having strange periods of writer's block. Usually, I like to do song writing as well however that has been hampered lately due to not having a clear and creative mind. Perhaps it's linked to current circumstances. Nothing terribly bad ladies and gentlemen, just extroadinarily occupied!!
In some ways, it leads into the article that I'm composing today. What do we look for? Obviously a fair few things come to mind quickly. Maybe financial reward through earning a very successful job. Perhaps it could be obtained by chance? A strong and loving family? A group of people who you can always turn to and they will put their heart and soul into helping you overcome your difficulties. A dream career? Many people strive for it.
For example, look at Australian Idol or any music talent show for that matter. While there are numerous people who are simply attempting to earn 15 seconds of fame (if they are lucky), others place everything on the line, their job, finance, relationships and even their self-identity. What if they don't make it? Who will they be as a person if they fail? Unfortunately talent shows like Australian Idol have the potential to damage a person on the inside immensely. At least if they do make it, it would be the greatest possible thing that could happen to them.
Other people may decide that what they are looking for in life is love. Where that love comes from could be irrelevant to them. For others, it would be important that love came from somebody that they would want to spend the rest of their time with. True qualities of compassion, generosity, caring, listening and supporting are starting to be diminished from relationships, especially in the younger ages as is it now becoming much more determined on whether people like each other by their physical appearance.
I'm not saying it is a bad thing necessarily. After all, it would be wonderful if the person we could fall in love with was beautiful. Here's a hypothesis though. What if a person you knew, liked you however was lacking in the physical appearance deapartment however posesses the most amazing personality that could ever be assembled. Would you decide to go for that person? Sometimes not everyone comes perfectly. Actually, no-one comes perfect although I love to believe that some people I know are perfect. To others, that could be as far from the truth as the distance between Latvia and Samoa. However, for some people, they would honestly believe that they are indeed their perfect person.
People need to understand though that the human race is the most complex species out of all. We are so ambitious in wanting what we desire. On a personal level, I desire many things at the moment. The key though to earning it all is by working for it; doing the things that are necessary in achieving that goal. Two of my main goals is to transfer universities by the end of 2008 (1st year is 2008) and by having casual employment in the retail industry in order for a resume to look stronger. However, work has to be done so that those goals can be achieved. It is what mainly prevents all of us from accomplishing great feats, the work that is neccessary to undergo.
Overall, if people want to work hard, generally for the most part, they will achieve what they want. People need to not be afraid in striving for their goals. They need to be committed to the requirements that are neccessary to achieve those goals. Other factors come into play however if the basics of how to acquire what we want are ticked off, then it is a great start into achieving it all. Note that the word "acquire" isn't in a materialistic sense. It could be in a spiritual and emotional sense as well. Good luck with achieving your goals. Hopefully you will be able to completely enjoy them when they come to you!!! Take care!

on The Art of A Performer
Unleashing Within
Thankyou for the comments. It's really appreciative that you took the time to write what you have. Andy 2, I'm stunned at how much of an expansive vocabulary you possess. It would make anyone envious that they can express themselves in the manner you can. I was really interested by your articles as well on your own account. They are fascinating to view so hopefully you keep it up!
Thankyou again Dexter for another comment! I'm an aspiring musician! I only sing so I'm hoping a reality show program like Idol will see some form of potential!! We'll wait and see there though. Thankyou very much for your comments guys!
