U Turn

It's not a u-Turn.

It's a spiral.

There's a saying that successful people know when to quit.

Either, due to energy conserving

Or plain acceptance of certain situation instead of chasing it.

Quitting sometimes requires what we say in malay ' jilat ludah balik'

Exp. 'Aku tidak akan blk lagi ke rumah ini jangan harap aku jilat ludah ku balik', 

'sudah aku ludah takkan aku jilat balik'.

This analogy is probably about making a stand, a firm believer of our personal principle.

But what if, the argument happens at 25 years old?

Do we think the standpoint view still applies at 39 years old?

Would we still not return home after that argument with the siblings?

How are we so sure that we are 'right' at 25 years old? When at 35 we receive a blow, a life changing moment.

Would 'tidak akan jilat ludah balik pendirian' still serve us?

This is when it's required for successful people to make of what seems like a U-turn. I.e 'jilat ludah balik'

It's a conceptual matter.

Not a principle matter.

Heading back to past mistakes either to correct them or to study/experience them once more is not exactly a U-turn.

It's a spiral.

A u-turn stops at one end I.e. the beginning.

Truth is it's a spiral, because our journey still resumes, continuously evolving.

Regardless public opinion of us ; heading back to what once broke us.

Realize. We are the only one that exists in our mind.

The people we see, the ones we actually 'see' that became our close circle is basically the reflection of us.

A made up story design by our own mind, about how they act, how they perceive, what they should be doing is all filtered and processed by our mind and own only.

We exist in the range of our own universe, hence why we should heighten our knowledge through Consciousness.

We didn't see the plane when we were in a building but we heard them flying above and we saw in our mental picture either its white + red or white + blue colored plane.

Everything exists in a space of our own creation of between mind + emotion producing what we call reality.

Thus the dialectical between U turn and spiral only exists in regards of concerns we had on what others think of us.

Again it's us versus us.

U turn connotes with making mistakes.

Spiral is indeed a process. We can be wrong and then right, and then wrong again and then right again. Either way our path gets clearer, brighter and lighter as we move on.

A spiral when taking form does indeed look like a U turn, only that it does not stop.

It continues on, that's Growth.

We are beings similar like plants.

Growing above through our leaves and branches but also within our roots spreading underneath ground taking hold on the surface.

Be happy when it seems like we're turning back to past mistakes,

We are indeed on our way up to the tip of the lighthouse.

Shining bright with a view of the whole horizon while casting light towards ships and boats guiding them to where they're supposed to go.
