The easy way

It’s been a month since the start of the program. It would be lying if I say that things were a bed of roses, however, this week was the most interesting, yet, thinking about it, it was also the most important week been through. In the week, APPCOM was put into action, we interviewed a few participants and interviewees to get a picture of the process clearly illustrated. In the beginning, we were confident of what we’ve done. However, after a certain interview with an individual, we were brought back to the ground. We had to reflect on what we’ve done. What do we want. Our effort, our goals and our motive. It wasn’t the easiest week as we had to face our inner demons.

Are we putting enough effort into getting what we want.

Going through the downs of the week, it would be lying to say that we are not demoralized. However, I feel that this is crucial for us. We are down to the bottom level, we are able to reflect upon ourself in such position as we have nothing else to lose. What we wanted , who are we and what are we doing presently. Are what we doing now, leading towards a goal that we want. What is our goal. There are many questions that we asked ourself, we faced our demons inside of us. Personally, I still have no idea.

As the week goes on, we were speaking with our mentor, he definitely helped us alot in many ways. I feel that it is because we have nothing else to lose, we are able to get more daring. Throwing out fears away to question and think. Reviewing on what we did, we found out that we have not done enough. We need to drill the holes deeper and wider. Furthermore, we need to spend a lot more time, practicing, imagining and building a inner database of knowledge.

That is the easy way. And. That is the hardest way.

Setting a goal and getting to it regardless of whatever means and methods. We are given a environment for us to fall and stand up again without any real reciprocity and injury. However, the thoughts of failure remains daunting, therefore we have to and must overcome these obstacles and put in 100% of ourself to be able to achieve , a goal that we set. For now, we have to adjust our mindset so that we are able to put in everything we have. To succeed and to learn as much as we can.

It is the most difficult way, yet, it is the most easiest way.
