What next?
Our entire life switches between two phases continuously - Good and bad.
Good times gives us new friends and bad times the genuine ones.
Each phase has its own beauty.
One makes us thankful to God and the other brings us closer to Him.
We all hope that the bad phase ends up soon and we jump into the good phase , the phase of settlement we may call it.
But after thinking (yes i do it often), i realize that the good phase also has two phases which are "get this" and "what next".
We all go through a rat race in early stages of our lives in school,college ,job search and what is waiting for us at the end of this race , a "9 to 5" trap with a 6 figure salary as bait and most of us want to be trapped into it .In fact all of us , and those who are left are considered losers .
And after getting into this trap , we are never able to get out of this "what next" phase.We don't know what we want in life and resort to useless entertainment,overthinking,over expenditure to satisfy ourselves , but we are never satisfied.
We are so confused , that we often feel directionless.May be because we did not know what we want to do, and we had spent our entire student life thinking about how to make a living in future.
Sometimes this "what next" phase is a bit frustrating , we want to be in a "get this" phase but there is a lack of clarity.
This "what next" phase has given rise to many unconventional career choices like vlogging,coaching,youtubing,startups where talented people can earn money along with self fulfillment.
People are quitting their 9 to 5 jobs because it is not feeding their souls.
As i am in electronics domain, i think our life's stages are also like the stages of a Bipolar junction transistor.
The bad phase is the "cut-off" state, where we are in this aloof introspective phase of how to reach the state of happiness.
We strive hard for success in our get this phase , we are in "active state" full of adrenaline and push ourselves to reach our goals.We are most satisfied in this state .
In "saturation state",we have already achieved what we were trying to get in the "active state",that job,that person or that car, we are at maximum comfort.
But what next? This makes us uncomfortable again.
So yes this is a loop , you can never escape.
Thanks for reading ... :)
Human's expectation define the bad & good in our life. To break the loop, (I think) we need to leave all expectations(our & others).
