This blog is all about the mental constructs in our minds. People often conceptualize these constructs as their mental states It is important to understand that our constructs symbolize who we are as people. In many people’s minds, there are constructs called risings and sinkers. What I am saying is that the risings are made up of everything great around one and sinkers are everything that has brought one’s hopes, dreams, desires to the ground–thus, creating regret. Of course, as humans, we want to accomplish everything we set out to do that way regret may never be formed. That is why many people now say that it is important to live in the present moment. For this blog, I am not going to dwell on the sinkers because they are the regrets of one’s desires, dreams, and hopes. However, I am going to focus on the risings and discuss with you how the risings should be protected from becoming a sinker. In order to do that, one needs to accomplish the goals that they set for themselves at the beginning of their journey.
For example, my journey was always to share my story, experiences, passion, as well as knowledge of what I have learnt throughout my life. I want to talk about the challenges I overcame and how they made me resilient and somewhat exhilarated to keep going and growing stronger. Our experiences create architecturally sound and strong risings. Let me give you the example of my mental construct, which is a floating fortress that floats all around my world in past and present. It takes care of my world below, which is my city. Both the sun and moon shine brightly within my world. That is not to say that my city does not help me with making my world stronger. My city gives me confidence, hope, rage when needed, greed when needed, love, and compassion. I treat my world as my teacher because though I made it with my thoughts that are positive and negative, it gives me the insight and confidence to push in face of adversity. Thus, my mind gets stronger and so does my fortress created by everything I have endured in this life. Many of you may realize that my world is much different than yours, which is a good thing because that is what reflects you as a person. The rising is everything that you are comfortable in, however, you have to face unending struggles to keep it from sinking. These struggles can be insecurities, other people’s expectations of you, and many other things, which will always make you feel terrible about yourself. How you internalize the feelings and many other undesired experiences, are what determine whether you are protecting your risings or sinking them.
What I want you all to take away from this topic is that never let yourself or other people get in the way of what you want out of life. Whether it may be a career prospect or an interest that you want to pursue or even a hobby that you want to transform into a career for yourself. At the end of the day, you are responsible for what you do with your life. If some of my readers are living an unfulfilling life of or living off other people’s expectations of them, then you would have to question yourself if that is what you really want. If not, go ahead and do self-exploration, because this is your life and you are a person of great potential who can turn this world upside down if you really want it. Embrace yourself as a human and celebrate your world with a fantastic journey that creates new risings.
