Can you have it all?
This is a question thrown around multiple times and answered zealously by multiple people. Here is the google result page link in case this post fails to address this question adequately.
Before I start delving into this question, I have couple of questions of my own that I want to ask. Are you ready?
My questions are:
- What does ALL mean to you?
- Do you think there is a universal definition of ALL?
- Is ALL constant or does it change with your circumstance?
- What will happen if you have it ALL?
If you can honestly answer these questions, I promise you will get your answer to Can you have it all. You don't need to read the rest of this post.
Years and years of conditioning has made us believe that more is always better than less and possession is ultimate form of control and superiority. We constantly change our definition of ALL based on these false beliefs. Not only that but we also measure ourselves and others against this ever changing definition of ALL.
If you can't constrain ALL at a given time, how can you have it ALL? Who cares about what you have in the first place?
Try to answer the why and you may never need to answer when and how.
