Licking The Wound Without Treatment Is Ineffective Method Of Healing - Mmei

It is very easy to get stuck in unproductive situation. Rather harshly put in a stressful and depressing situation. The weird thing is that we think we are the only one in there. We don't see the light or don't allow ourselves to see the solution. Sometimes we might be seeing or knowing the solution but we don't have the will, power, determination and energy to exercise it. That's how life is…full of realities that often surprises us the people living it. They normally say tough situations reveals the true you. How well or bad you fair during the trials and tribulations determines your mettle and tenacity. That is owed to the personality traits. Our personalities plays a crucial role in how we handle all this not so nice situations. The pessimistic person may have a negative view, making them take longer to linger in a situation because they are extra cautious. The pessimistic will say that their extra cautiousness has made them succeed in 90 percent of the time. The optimistic person may want to move quicker because all they see is a bright future regardless of the pitfalls along the way. All they see is the sweet end. What really matters is whether your control measures earns you success or not? Whether you are comfortable succeeding at the rate in which you are? Some people don't mind failing time and again. As they feel it adds value. Some really don't take kindly to failure. It feels like waste of precious time and money. Well, it seems we are all in different paths in this life journey. We are all enjoying life at our pace.

Then what really is the fuss about trying to solve situations…can't we just live and let life be? Never-minding, never-learning, never-caring, never-hoping and never ever. But is this really the entire truth about just wanting to live and expecting less from this life? Never wanting to come out of any situation, just enjoying the failure and giving up as we wish. I do understand that we need to give up to certain situations that does not help, improve or even enrich our lives. The truth to all this is that each of us has a personal benchmark, that if we reach, or don't reach, we feel stressful about it. Each of us has priorities at any particular point in time. Those priorities if done, then we are satisfied, even if it compromises some of our key objectives and targets. We implicitly rank each of our objectives. We know which must come first and we tend to focus on that. This happens regardless of whether we have done cost-benefit analysis of each, or have conducted the 80/20 rule. Which can help a great deal in deciding the right strategy? The never-minding, never-learning and never-caring does not really happen in reality. It is the perception displayed. Only if you touch what is critical to the person you will see the real emotions and involvement evoked.

I was recently in a rut, for about a month and I might still be. I couldn't find myself, strength, energy and my creativity was impaired. I couldn't write anything thought provoking. I felt trapped and scrambled like a DSTV mobile drifta. My psychologist performed an informal assessment, and profoundly said that if you open many pages, apps and programs on the computer, it slows it down. In retrospect, I think it is true. One thing about being in a situation is that one can lick their wounds until the cows come home. Feeling sorry for one-self is good but overdoing is not. At some point, you have to make a decision, whatever method you use. To move on and face life again. The sooner you do that the better. Licking the wound without treating it is ineffective method of healing. Lick the wound with treatment on it, atleast in a short while, it will be healed. It is not necessary to prolong our coming out of any situation. I believe in three things; you have to come out, you have to let others go and life must continue, whether you like it or not. With or without you…as cruel as it may sound it is the reality. You will catch up later. Please do me a favour, just come out, I am coming out. Here is Kirk Franklin with Smile…One of my inspirational tune.
