Hello friends,
hope you are doing well today and had a lovely weekend.
I am thinking this article is what you really need, just like I wish someone somewhere would have shown to me, understood me and just sat down with me way before all of the hardest experiences in my life even arrived, I wish someone sat down with me and made me understand this (in this article) until I got it when I was a teenager. This is why I am here, with you.
Whether Coronavirus is coming to an end there has still been continuous events in our world that have shaken this planet even more i.e. earthquakes, floods, fires and life is such that we’re always getting shaken up by something. Someone somewhere has lost someone, something externally or internally in one way or another.
This morning I’ve risen to a slighter harder challenge (for me) and since last year October I’ve been trying to get back to a certain mindset and today a mindset that has driven me to supersede when I was just starting out in life at the age of nineteen, the same words came back. Only this time after years (at least eight years or more), the sentence, “Get up, no one is coming to save you. You have to do it yourself,” is the reason why I woke up, not when I wanted but because the reason why was stronger than the will to just want to make an early start today. Even though I hit the alarm clock and changed it quickly to half an hour more I still did way better than what I have been trying to do for months now.
It’s been years where my reasons why, were not as powerful as I wanted my will to be, that which I remember many many years ago. I even asked myself why in the last seven years was my will not my force anymore? So for those who are here the first time, welcome and for those who have been following my story you’d now find that, you cannot have the will to move mountains when there’s just too much left to heal. When you are starved of the reasons why you have no will. – T. Dench Patel, 14 September 16:19
The only way you can feel starved is because your reason why isn’t strong enough and when your will is weaker than those reasons that is when you have hardly any connection and insight to the external world anymore. Your will really is the most powerful when it has all the external reasons i.e. family and their wellbeing, there is always one more reason why… this is what “will” does to keep you going. – T. Dench Patel, 14 September 2020, 16:44 This is why the idiom “where there’s a will there’s a way,” is still very true to this day. This can happen in so so so many ways, and for myself, the biggest knock was where my life was in my hands and I allowed myself to be dragged down in a very toxic relationship where it’s necessary to add that I had a lucky escape. When you are told that all your knowledge is rubbish, stopped from being with people who were at least smarter positively (how they lived and used their positive forces) rather than the smart person who used his intelligence negatively and had friends who chose the negative forces it’s hard, it is hard when you are only in a world that spins by the larger external influences i.e. the majority of the population that you really don’t know how to find better or get to the better part where beautiful souls live beautiful lives. I know you get this and if you’re young and starting out in life, get clear on all your reasons why, and keep taking a look at that before new cycles start, be it the best time of your life or a more challenging time. The truth is you want to have this very clear, way before the challenging times arrive so that your reason why will get you through it.
I believe this year twenty-twenty a lot of people’s “will” will be strengthening. Make a list of all your reasons why you do what you do believe what you believe, why your vision is the vision you choose to follow and be clear and honest with yourself when you do this exercise. Then ask yourself are they strong enough for the will you are feeling right now? If your will is stronger than your reasons it’s not enough, your reasons are not strong enough. Your reasons have to be stronger than your will? Why? Because those are the people who WILL do what it takes. – T. Dench Patel, 14 September 2020, 17:00
To succeed your reasons need to be strong enough or you will be faced with the adversities overpowering you, your will and all your reasons why. You might have to quit, pull out but if your reasons why are growing, strong and true, I repeat TRUE to you, then sticking to your values will be easier to do. – T. Dench Patel, 14 September 2020, 17:04
It was sentences like the one little voice this morning, the minute I pushed myself to rise up and out of bed, it said, “No one’s coming to save you, you have to save yourself,” is the same voice that I was happy to hear after so many years, it’s been returning slowly over the last couple years with more frequency and strength, that’s the same little voice that said many things to me in order to not quit, keep moving and that voice became my biggest fan, critique and cheerleader the first time I left my home, my country on just one thousand three hundred pounds. That was when I noticed its power over my will. It gave me many positive reasons…
Yours sincerely,
