A Life Full Of Deadlines
This is an article about the many deadlines in life that others and ourselves make. We are constantly having our strings pulled by the people all around us, and we try real hard to accomplish both given and subliminal goals by certain times in our life. We also put pressure on ourselves to meet certain deadlines. These deadlines can be measured by days to years and even longer. If we come to understand the hidden pressures put on us by deadlines we can seek to improve our performance in life.
How do we hope to begin to understand life’s hidden and many deadlines? Our first step to recognizing life’s deadlines is by identifying them when they come up and realizing the shroud around them is hiding them from our mind. Think of the deadlines hidden within certain ages in life, be it to graduating college to having children and getting married. We attach those mostly to ages. When we reach a certain age, a biological-like clock goes off in us, be us male or female. By identifying life's pressures in the form of deadlines we will be able to decide if we are both ready and able to execute the goal or action tied into the deadline.
We must understand life’s deadlines and their underlying consequences that come with their brought results to determine if the hidden deadline is really worth its fruition. So do we really want to go through with life’s hidden deadlines? Or do we need to identify and delay or decline in a strategic manner? Is pursuing a job after college or is having children right after marriage what you really want? If not then I suggest a reevaluation of your life’s direction. There is no need to get lost and persueded by the pressures of society and its various expectations of each person living within it. We should not live in a society where we feel trapped into the patterns of each and every others standards but there are very few escapes from these behaviors if we wish to conform. Does this mean we cannot conform if we wish to achieve true happiness in life? That is an age old debate that not even I have an absolute answer. However, I will say that we should make ourselves happy first and everyone else happy second. If we become lost in the constraints of society, we are bound to be worn down. Thus, we must be aware of every deadline placed upon us in the hidden structure of life.
We must be strong in life. We cannot hope to meet all of life's standards and deadlines. As human beings we must strive hard to work within the limits of this life and world to obtain what we truly want. If we do become privy to the deadlines we will be able to bring them forward and back to meet our own personal happiness and desires. This is a simple concept that many do not ever pick up on. Think about your life. Is there something you may want to add to your life’s goals and wishes? Is that desire of yours greater than where your current path is leading you towards? Discover the hidden deadlines of life and make changes to them today to enable you to live a more enjoyable life. It will be worth the effort for you.
