Formless

 

Saw this on facebook, and I thought, that is only true because we make it that way. Theres no irony in it, but instead a very simple human problem of taking others for granted. It is a choice, we can change it if we truly desire to do so.

I woke up at 7am, and watched 3 episodes of big bang theory, facebooked, twittered, watched random youtube videos.

The library needs to open earlier. Alternatively, im finding my nearest 24 hours macs.

I speak only of personality here, I do not suppose you can apply these ideas on everything in life, it really doesn't work for some things.

An idea I've been toying around with recently, especially with school having just ended. Often, we behave in a certain manner, then we then put labels on ourselves, defining ourselves as like this or like that. Some of these labels are more more subtle, where you may not even speak of it but its an idea that floats in your head, and they are left unchallenged.

Take for example, some of us may have the label 'strange' or 'awkward' floating in our heads. And its precisely because you have these labels in your head, that you do become strange and awkward. It develops as a vicious cycle, where the labels make you act in a certain way, and the more you act like that, the more you perceive yourself as that, and it spirals downwards.

But take one step back, consider the irrationality of this, and make a great leap forward. It is not a matter of what you cannot do, it is a matter of what you think you cannot do.

You dont have to be whatever labels that are put in your head. Breaking these barriers seem impossible, until you smash the first one, then you realise that it isn't that hard at all. And smashing barriers becomes something rather exciting, challenging yourself time after time to scale new heights, to expand further.

Suddenly you'll find yourself free, unrestricted by these labels that hold you back, and you can be whoever you want to be. You lose the natural self, there is no 'default' you, once you realise the fact that the personality you have is without boundaries, then you can be anything and everything all at once. And thats a great thing, because you become highly adaptable in all situations, not because you are putting up a false front or anything, but simply because it is a part of you.

Like the dance of the waves on the sea, you become formless.
