For this week on ThoughfulDailyPost, I shall participate with the topic "YOU CAN BE PASSIVE...AND CAN LIVE PASSIVELY"

As a young lad growing up. I've had inclination to things both those at my reach and not. In any case, I longed for some things I thought quite well were going to help me become happy.

Living with my siblings and parents and being the last child made it somewhat easy to ask for anything and expecting to be given. Yes! At some times it were given and at another they were not granted; and guess the feelings and the thoughts of being rejected.

But were they actually rejecting me?
No! They were simply pruning and shaping me not to be all things wanted inclined. I didn't understand this earlier then.

I didn't soon realized that one can actually live good life void of wants except important needs.

Meanwhile, to be passive simply put means "doing without anything one thought is important to survive, cutting down some seeming wants"

It was my uncle who brought that to my consciousness, sharing from his life experiences, touring round the world as a certified marine engineer.

From his experiences, he shared with me. And I quickly got his insightful stories. This were a given of course, and since then I sat to reflect.

I soon realize I can live my life without some things which could actually be gotten later. Some few cloths are okay for a time, some certain amount of money is okay for a time to maintain one's useful needs, etc.

However, not craving for too much is the key. Not expecting too much won't give a heart-ache because disappointment itself is a poison that can pierce deep.

I, then learned how to be passive. I began learning fast yet not easy. Cutting down some cravings and making it as simple as possible for a easy life flow seems hard. But truth be told, this wants need be cut-off.

At this stage in my life I still strive to make do with some things I don't need at the moment.

The passiveness of any man depends too on his self-discipline about certain things. Imagine advising a smoker to quit it. Hmmm, he won't see it east to let go or a drunk, same issue.

But, I bet you, with daily trial it can be overcomed. Cutting down saves much. Cutting down relieves greatly.

A story was told of twk brothers who got some coins from their father, that eldest wasted it on shoes and cloths while the younger, made savings and make do with what he has already. This continued until they grew to adulthood.

Guess what?
The younger became a billionaire while the eldest had a reverse as the case. You see, cutting down and being contented pays. Extravagance life style rather rob one off future fortunes.

Am trying now, am contented, am instilling discipline on myself so as to live a free-given life void of burdenness.

A happy life after👆

O yeah. Live free and be passive always. If it doesn't reach you, don't panic just move on. Life goes on. Yes, it does.

You can be passive in life and can live passively; yet then, every other things will fall in place.
