Why , What and How

2 W’s and one H- One commonly sentence continuer we normally see on the 3rd grade worksheet. Not because they are simple, they are foundational.

But really what happened and how did it happen seems to be so easily misinterpreted that we sometimes loose words and cannot fathom what the next step may be .Some in the mad race and some in the early foundational level, forger why we all started and what happens next .

Similarly words all around us stories we see on the net or on your feed , are they all real or made up jack shit- some for pity and some for empathy?and some content, just manufactured for engagement.

Are we living in a world where status defines us , directs us? Unfortunately yes, hard truth.

Here is what actually happened

Where you are and what you become plays a big role but sometimes people forget the ladder they climbed and the people we met, made friends and made connections ( not Linkden ones) but the true relationships and through the hard times the battles we faced and the support we got. Its the certian kind of forced, sometimes forgotten by mistake, i mean not the dramatic kind but the forgotten faces and names. The WE becomes the I and the success becomes the golden ring everyone talks about. its the amnesia which well, comes along with success I guess?

But the climb was never solo, it was never not about the announcement which was made everyone applauded and raised their glasses, it was about the moment of that special surreal feeling: where maybe someone in the room said a word or spoke to you for 5 minutes which inspired you to be where you were today, standing with pride. It was the person who helped you, brainstormed with you gave you the real world picture, saw you think and rise in silence . That person can collectively be a team, your partner or your very own family, which we maybe sometimes take for granted.

In the above paragraph where I spoke about amnesia, its simpler than harder. its about refusing the amnesia. Its just as remembering the ladder , the rungs which you climbed up and that spark which one saw in you to give YOU that opportunity to rise and to shine.

its all about the story, the people you meet along the way- not the bio on your social media.
