David Vs Goliath

David, a young shepherd takes up the challenge to face against the Philistine giant Goliath. Everyone told him he can’t fight the giant because he’s just a kid. David gathers five stones in a slingshot. Now, imagine a boxing ring - David VS Goliath. After engaging in smack talk, David takes the stones from his pouch, loads it into the slingshot and hurls it. The stones hit Goliath’s forehead (between both eyes) and immediately he falls dead on the floor. Unexpectedly David defeats Goliath and everyone is shocked. Victory!

David vs Goliath is inspired by the bible. In modern-day it is used to describe an underdog or a weak opponent (David) against an overachiever or the stronger (Goliath). This perfectly describes how underdogs can fight 'Against All Odds' to overcome challenges in the form of Goliaths.

In today's challenging COVID crisis humanity itself is against all odds. In this scenario, I am referring to Humans as Davids and the Virus as Goliath. Although David appears smaller and weaker than Goliath in the bible, the biggest and only difference in our current situation is that the virus (Goliath) is so small that it is not even visible to the naked eye while humans (David) are clearly bigger in appearance. It is worth mentioning that this tiny Goliath is dangerous to 7.7 billion Davids on this planet, it's knocking our lives and economy out.

One thing to note about David is that even though he's very weak, he knows that also is fully aware of it. Still wants to fight because he's not ok being a loser. David is a very curious person to know what would happen if he gets through these obstacles. On the other hand, Goliath is an arrogant overconfident person who underestimates the underdog, David. However, to his surprise David not only Lee fights but also, as a result, knocks him out full stop from this what we learn is overconfidence is not good and so is not under confidence. On this note, I want to leave you with the thought that be optimistic about the future take action to take those bold steps because the world will get back to normal perhaps even better than what it was pre-pandemic and make each and every move with the leap of faith and believe in yourself.

Change to give another chance

I am writing this article with the intention of all-inclusiveness in the first person so that you also read this in the first person. Change is Constant I know this sounds very cliche, but it's true. Everything keeps changing and I cannot stop this cycle of change. What I can do is change with the change. This does not mean that I change my values and ethics which form the core of my existence. However, it is necessary to adjust to what needs to be done from time to time as per circumstances. A change in the ultimate goal is not the solution to challenges on the way, a change in attitude and a change in the process is where the magic lies. The process requires constant improvements to yield better and more sustainable results. Hence, please do not shy away from making changes to routine, diet, exercise, spiritual practice, etc. How to recognise that? Consciousness by having an inner dialogue with myself and spending more time alone to ask some meaningful questions. The answers are ...

Never Compromise On Your Vision

Image
Do you find yourself compromising on your goals, lifestyle or the choices you make and then realise you could've ditched it at the time for something better in the future? Sometimes we make impulsive decisions at the time thinking that this is what it is and there is no tomorrow, but little do we realise that if we settle for the second-best option and not the best one. By definition to compromise is to  accept that you will reduce your demands or change your opinion in order to reach an agreement with someone . In this article, we will use the definition above which came from the Cambridge Dictionary. What triggers a compromise in the first place? Lack of Understanding: The difference between your first choice and a compromise is often misunderstood. This takes place in our subconscious mind making it difficult to analyse our thoughts and question our decisions. Just ask yourself - is this what I want? If the answer is no, then it's a compromise. Indecisiveness: The lack of ta...
