The sound of a positive word is generally thought of as a sign of exhaustion. I also do not like being tired. I believe it is probably not because I am tired, but simply because I have strong desires. In order to satisfy them, I am more or less automatically “challenging” myself.
For example, “I definitely need that toy,” “I want to hold hands with her/him,” “I want to eat my favorite food everyday,” “I want to be rich,” are thoughts basically every person has had in their life. Desires are necessary to materialize and accomplish such thoughts. I believe challenge is the process and action to satisfy desires.
I personally believe that there are two different challenges. The first is to prepare and practice for a goal and accomplish it. The other is to explore the unknown and be convinced through experience. I will begin with a clear explanation and understanding of these two challenges.
A challenge for goal-achievement continues until the goal is met. Complete success is difficult in a single try. Even with unintended results, the probability of success increases. It is necessary to examine the process thoroughly in order to idealize the real. Get advice from someone who is the closest to your picture and your ideal. Analyze the skills that you lack. By doing so, there is also a lot to gain, apart from the original goal. New connections with the people involved, new knowledge and understanding of their world, communication skills, important gestures and wordings as a person, and so on. These are solid assets, so they do not go bad. The most important thing, however, is when you reach near the goal, you already have another goal. You never know when life ends. Even if that person is younger than you, you can start today. You will feel sorry for yourself if you compare yourself to others and it is unnecessary to do so. You are a day older tomorrow. The best start for anyone should always be “today.”
The other challenge is to explore the unknown and be convinced through experience. Neither you or others will be convinced unless you act upon what you imagined.
A very pop example is to imagine, “Mixing curry and milk in miso ramen sounds delicious.” Many people will probably go against that idea. This is because there are no previous examples and experiences of it, which creates a sense of vague fear. In reality, my hometown in Aomori has a soul food called, “Miso-curry-milk ramen.” I and the people around me have grown up eating this dish. When it comes to food, I believe almost everything is the result of the challenges of ancestors. “You cannot be convinced unless you try.” Even if people laugh at you, such thoughts are necessary for a new world. The vague fear is not a concrete fear either.
By repeating these two challenges, they become basic physical enhancements. It is also effective for unexpected troubles. Yet, because it is “unexpected,” it will be crushed by the ideas and actions leading up to that point. On the other hand, new attempts and successes are absolutely necessary. When I first visited New York, everything was supposed to be unexpected. However even though I did not know what was going to happen, I was ready to be flexible about anything. When I was in elementary school, I called a taxi by myself and went to the shopping mall, which in principle means that I have already experienced something similar. The unknown world is full of new discoveries.
People tell me that I am very “positive.” I am very grateful, but for me, a challenge is a logical assembly, like the two I mentioned earlier. As long as there are some sort of energy or abstract words, it will never be a challenge. If you clear one goal, you will have one less choice of a goal. To prevent this, we will need to take two challenges to create an infinite world.
I have continued to live like this, no matter how my body is.
