Life can be a complex thing to figure out and understand when it comes to the important aspects of how life operates. There are many infinite details that are both big and small that make up life what entail life. I believe that it is quite normal for the good majority of people to go throughout life without paying attention to the small details that make up life. Most of us pretty much take life day-by-day without always acknowledging those details. It really isn't that hard to imagine being that life doesn't come with a handbook on how to live. Furthermore, when you factor into account how a world that has billions of people will never be seen through the same lens for everyone. I've come to learn over the years that when people say that life is what you choose to make it, you can best believe it is a truthful statement. However, regardless of how a person lives or chooses the view their individual world, there is something called realization that affects us all throughout our lives. Realization is going to happen to us all at some point in various spots. It is something that we'll have while we're young, but it really affects us if we're fortunate to be able to live a decently long life. Even if you're blessed to see a long life, realization is something that will never stop happening for as long as you live. I believe that realization plays a large factor in our lives for those of us that make an attempt to pay attention to the detail of life. It is for that reason that I chose to use realization as a main theme for this week's topic of Realization, And How It Plays A Role In Our Lives.
What's going on once again folks? This is Brad H. coming through once again for another installment of 'Brad H.'s Perspective'! I am here to bring a topic that I believe would be beneficial to us in our life's journey. I hope that you all have been maintaining and doing well since the last topic that was covered. It has been a pretty wild couple of weeks for me personally. As some of you may already know, I am from Texas and we were hit with a very rare winter storm last week. It wasn't just Texas that was affected by the storm, but we were the only state that had massive power outages. I was one of the lucky ones that never lost power, but with everything that was going on with the storm, I just decided not to even attempt this topic last week. If you all could do me a huge favor, please keep the people of Texas in your thoughts. There were a lot of tragedies that came from the effects of this storm. People died from not only the cold weather, but also things like carbon monoxide poisoning from trying to stay warm through dangerous methods that most people wouldn't attempt in normal circumstances. There are also a countless amount of people that have busted pipes and damage to their homes of devastating proportions. I pretty much liken this storm to a winter hurricane when it comes to the aftershock of what took place. So now that I've gotten that out of the way, lets go ahead and delve more into my thoughts on realization and the role that it can play in our lives.
Now when it comes to the idea of realization and how it relates to our lives, I would be doing a disservice to the readers if I didn't point out that realization is something that is purely subjective to whomever it applies to at a specific point in their life. As I mentioned in the opening, realization is something that will happen throughout life. However, for where I am planning on going with this topic of realization, I mainly want to give my perspective from a viewpoint of becoming older. This may not apply to everyone, but I still hope that it is a topic that most can at least relate to. Now before going further in this topic we have to define what realization is. A broad definition of realization is defined as "an act of becoming fully aware of something that is fact". I personally think of it as having epiphany type of moments in our lives where things suddenly come to us and make sense. Now of course this can and does happen at many points throughout our lives, but I personally feel that it becomes easier for us to pick up on realizations as we become older and mature. Again, this isn't always the case due to what I point out in the opening. That being the idea that most of us go through life while not always giving attention to the details that we generally overlook. From my own personal perspective, glossing over the fine print that comes along with living life can hinder us when it comes to having realization.
So when we're talking about the small details that we as people generally overlook in this life when it comes to realization, what does this mean exactly? Well from my own perspective, the small details in life are the truths that come along with life that we tend to overlook. One example of many that I could give is the fact that we has humans have a short span of life. Think about it from the following viewpoint. Even if a person lives to be 100 years old, that is a small amount of time compared to infinity. That's not to say that life is short, but is a lot shorter than we think. Most of us tend to overlook this because we don't typically think about death when we're young. It doesn't feel like a reality because it feels like it is far away, even though we all know that isn't the case. We all know that death can happen at any age or any moment, yet we tend to overlook things of this nature until it becomes a realization. Now again, this is just one example of many. The main point here is that it is easy for us to overlook life's small truths, but despite how easy it is to do this doesn't mean that we shouldn't be making an effort to not overlook them. I believe that the biggest realizations happen when we get to the point where we're no longer glossing over life's smaller details.
So we have established how the small details of life have an influence on our lives, and I've given an example of what it means to overlook certain aspects of life. We've arrived at the end where I feel that realization plays its biggest role. From my own personal perspective, I believe that realization when it comes to life is something that we should be striving for sooner rather than later. One of life's realities that most of us hate to think of is the fact that one day we're all going to die. We've all heard stories of what many people have said while they were on their deathbed taking their last breathes. Some of the stories we've heard from others have been harrowing, and that is where I think that there is an opportunity to learn from. Though it is something we all long for, the truth is that not all of us are going to see a long life. This is why I believe it is important for us to have the ability of realizing things quicker than those that have come before us. One of my favorite quotes is that "a wise man learns from his mistakes, but a wiser man learns from the mistakes of others". Life is a gift that should always be cherished. It is for that reason that I believe working towards giving more attention to the small things that matter in life should be prioritized. We're here now, so now is the best time for realization. Whatever realization means to you personally, do whatever you must to find it before life passes you by.
