See It For What It Is

Michael Dahdal June 18, 20241 min read

The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit,

The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.

Emotions blur our eyes and cloud our judgments

We often project our own biases

And only see what we want to see

Keeping ourselves just distracted enough

So we never have to look ourself in the mirror or face up to reality.

But reality doesn’t care about how you feel

It just is.

And seeing things for what they are

As they are

Being able to see right through the bullshit

Is a super power in itself.

Because without that grasp on reality

You’re forever stuck in a deluded fantasy

And that might be OK, until one day it’s not.

Because reality doesn’t go away.

And just because you can’t or refuse to see it

It doesn’t mean it’s not there.

  • The Decision of No Decision
    by Michael Dahdal
    Indecision is a decision in and of itself, even though you may not recognise it as such. Your decision to do nothing – to let things play out on their own. It’s taking a back seat and waiting to see how the chips may fall.

    Taking Your Second Chance
    by Michael Dahdal
    It’s pointless, because history will always be confined to history. Instead it may be time to look yourself in the mirror, at the risk of not liking what you see. Because getting it right, means being honest with yourself. It comes with the brutality of having to confront your own demons, And being able and willing to take the hits. So take your second chance. Don’t look back in anger, maintain the hope And be determined to do things a little different.

    Symphony of Sadness
    by Michael Dahdal
    There’s a great symphony in sadness A million things conspiring beautifully together to set a sombre tone. It’s a tragedy, no doubt.  Irrational at times, often transcending words or reason....
  • Communication Is Not a One Way Street
    by Michael Dahdal
    Communication is not a one way street. It’s not about talking, it’s about listening. It’s not about reacting, it’s about responding. It’s not about knowing, It’s about understanding. It’s not about judgement or pretense It’s about connection.

    Leaving It All Behind
    by Michael Dahdal
    Some things are certainly worth holding onto -  Others we just hold onto because we are too afraid to say goodbye.  Not because we can’t But because doing so means facing our own mortality
