Short Background

I added this series to one of my favorite movies because they have a lot of words of wisdom, and one of which somehow enlightened me in the middle of my bothered or confused thoughts at this time.

I was really enlightened with this quote.

Translated in English: "Do not push yourself so hard for something that's not meant you - or you will be bumped all the time and you will struggle harder."

I was in the middle of weighing things out about what I really wanted to do and what not. It happened to me this instance of pushing myself hard which I believe it was for me but it kept me disappointed all the time, everytime i tried to it wont worked out.

My goal is to have a lifetime job, or at least as long as I retire. I am a doctor so, its kind of a waste if I work of something else right?

 

Way back few years ago, my mom always asked me to practice my profession as a doctor. I did, I had few years of experience as a doctor as well but I never succeeded all the tried I made.

I failed everytime I pushed myself to be a doctor - I mean, Being a doctor for me is like a fleeting job which I can't stand longer than I thought.

I opened up my clinic, but its just lasted for 9 months. I really don't understand what could be the problem but as I always pushed myself being a doctor, it didn't worked out and now I realized maybe being a doctor is not for me.

 Yet, I still opened a new clinic and working until now but somethings holding me back out.

Since living is necessary and I need money for expenses, I'm still pursuing being a doctor.

From this quote " I was enlightened that if I push myself to something not meant for me I will be bumped and struggled harder.

How tough life can be ☹️.

But my question is, when do I know if a certain thing not meant for me without trying it?

What is constant in this world? Change or Choice?

I used to think about the saying "CHANGE IS CONSTANT" I'm sure you heard this quote many times of your life.

In my three decades of existence, I used to believe Change is the only Constant and other changes would be just a secondary of "change". It is a fact that, everything changes. As I always notice that, you change your dress everyday, change things you like or you want, anything undergoes changes. When a child grows up, when trees, animals grow - these things are the change which you cannot hold back.

Exactly, "change" is constant.

Change - to cause to be different, a transformation of anything.

However, I went to a conference in a learning enhancement program, one of the professors said. "It is not the change should consider as constant" I was in so excitement to know why, because it might lighten up my perception about what is really constant in this world.

Well, given these examples might convince you to side with me.

1. When you change your dress

2. When you change your lifestyle

3. When you change house

4. When you change your school

5. When you change your decision

Changing the way a person wants to, that will become his "CHOICE". 

Choice - is an option to choose something, the act of choosing.

When you choose something then, the change will go after it.

I realized, that "change and choice" are constant. There are things that naturally be changed, like the growth of a person, the tress, death and etc. which we consider the "change is constant". There are also changes that made by choice, which are the decisions you made before doing a change, like mentioned above, the change of lifestyle, dress, location etc. which we can consider as "choice is constant".

What do you think?
