"People are hynotised by their own feeling of powerlessness and used this as an excuse for doing nothing -- the lack of will is much more than merely an ethical problem: the modern individual so often has the conviction that even if he did exert his 'will' - or whatever illusions passes for it - his actions wouldn't do any good anyway."
Rollo May (1969)
Pessimism, is a powerful form of thinking that can manipulate a person's behaviour. I once thought I could not do anything, because I don't think I have the power to do so. Right now, I am glad that I snapped out of that.
I might still have the conviction that I am not able to so certain things, but at least for now, I'm trying. And I realised one thing, to try with all the effort I can muster, is very satisfying, despite the outcome.
I'm just grateful I'm given the chance to try.
Don't waste the chance given to you, grab every opportunities that comes by...
