A huge, hopeful, and exciting hello to everyone! I wish a great Republic Day to all of us. I hope it will remind us of the genuine effort, sacrifice, and, farewell, existence of success in these lands.
May that day remind us that we can succeed. Only despair is the enemy of success. The main point is effort.
The default version of our brain tends to focus on the negative side all the time. Especially in this new world with billions of stimulators, usually negative ones… It is pretty hard to look at the positive side. It is really hard, but we also should know our history. Would the word “hard” be enough to stop us?
In the millions of years of life history, minds that are afraid, cautious, and find out the negativity first among all possibilities survive longer, reproduce more, and can transfer these characteristics to a larger number of offspring. (Sinan Canan)
We are living proof of how Mustafa Kemal Atatürk made the right moves in a time that required great foresight. We are alive and living in our own language. But those times were left behind so that we could do more and open up new paths. This happened with many sacrifices… to construct and produce over what is not lost.
Any ordinary animal can feel frustrated after seeing something suddenly, and it can step back. Even if it is not scary, those things happen as a precaution to protect us through our reflexes, thanks to our brains. Unconsciously. This is normal when we feel like stepping back sometimes. Because our nature leads us to sense danger, hear what is abnormal, feel the problem, and take action accordingly, if we do not actively put effort into altering existing settings, we are going to die with those brains that are just focused on protecting us with the negativity detection system.
Whenever we decide to turn our eyes to the positive by making an active, meaningful effort, our mind will also offer thoughts that can open positive new paths that not only protect but also establish and create. This isn’t something that will happen overnight. It is not something that everyone will be the same. It can let us teach our “do not lose what you have” brains to take completely new steps and run into new things. If we work for long enough, we can change the system, our reactions, even the actions we take against the events we have in life.
I want to celebrate it properly. I do want to make it worthy with actual answers beyond the history. Making it in a way to let even the others to feel enthusiastic about feeling and hearing it. It is up to us. Almost every belief system would advise you to go a good way. Do not mention the bad thing, you call what you say, manifesting, self-fulfilling prophecies… Our discovery is only ours. It is in our palms.
To the next Republic Day and other future ones, which we will celebrate with higher honor and joy…
