Introduction

I believe the readers of this blog belong to people from 2K kidz. If you are reading this blog for the first time, nice to meet you, so you came to this blog believing you will get an answer to some of the worst questions in this society.

That’s right, in order to elaborate or justify the question, you and I know how screwed we will end up in the future.

We are Generation Z, everyone!.

The Generation We Live In

The Gen where we saw Covid-19 2019–21 and sat in online classes.

The Gen where we saw Ukraine Russia war happening in 2022–23.

The Gen where we saw India-Pakistan (Short term) war last year.

The Gen where AI is hunting all the jobs we apply for.

The Gen where divorce rates are rapidly increasing.

The Gen where Social Media became a source of leverage and distraction.

The Gen where we see costs rapidly rising because of the Iran-US war.

The Gen where we are seeing Hantavirus and the return of Ebola.

Damn…………………… Looks like that’s the life we are living. It stinks but yeah, it is what it is.

Society and Reality

I want to let y’all know that this is the era that we are living in. And there’s no escape. I don’t know how many victims there are to control this but yeah. This is how our society works. This is how politics works.

But you know the funny part?. Our elders, families, and relatives still shout at us for not working hard. For not feeding them. The anger is true, But the distraction we are going through, the type of people we depend on, may be fake. So in this case, I request all of you to be strong.

The Power of One Second

In these types of scenes. I want you to armor yourself and always prioritize that “ONE SECOND." I know you will be thinking. What is special in one second?. The answer is simple, that one second tells you what decisions you make and don’t make in your day.

It takes that one second to snooze that alarm or step outside of your bedroom.

It takes that one second to keep sitting and scrolling or lift that dumbbell.

It takes that one second to run outside and work and keep doomscrolling.

IT TAKES THAT ONE SECOND TO DO THIS WITH MORE PAIN BUT LESS CONSEQUENCES, OR THAT WITH LESS PAIN AND MORE CONSEQUENCES.

Time and Perspective

Every time it is a kind of burden to me in order to bring some relevant topic for y’all every time. But I always enjoy brainstorming myself rather than staying idle.

I used to think it is difficult that time is precious. We all know time is precious, but unfortunately still we don’t take that time seriously.

But now let me make this a conclusion: When I say time, don’t prioritize the 24 hours, prioritize that 1 out of 1440 minutes. Prioritize that 1 out of 86,440 seconds. That will give you a new sense of perspective just like how I got.

Facing Challenges

This world will chew you and me down for sure. But in order to conquer ourselves we need to conquer time. We need to take the moment for the present of the society.

I don’t know what you are going through. And you don’t know what I am going through but I am sure we will accomplish this together.

Worried about AI replacing you?. I will be honest, AI ain’t replacing you bro. AI is helping you, actually. Use AI to increase your knowledge and potential. Extract every information you need so badly.

Worried about everyone pricking you. Even if it is your life partner, it is time to leave them. If they think of holding you back, remember they are gradually becoming a burden to you. And it’s not a healthy burden, it is a junk burden in the long run.

Are you keeping long debt traps. With huge interests. True this will hurt the hell out of your mind. But try to accomplish to clear small amounts. At least, a 2k. If that feels easy, increase it more then.

Getting rejected consistently while applying for jobs?. I’m goated at getting rejections. I enjoy that feeling for real.

Did you go through divorce?. No issues, be happy you are independent. Thank your partner for giving you that piece.

Conclusion

If you see whatever I said, all it took was changing perceptions. I want to change my perceptions once and for all. Similarly, I want y’all to do the same. Thank you and have a gr8 day. Follow and Subscribe to Blaze Mentality to achieve Strength and Greatness.
