Shakespeare’s famous line from Hamlet, “To be, or not to be, that is the question,” is iconic. It addresses the struggles of the human mind and making decisions. In the play, Hamlet contemplates between an unjust life and suicide; he’s confused about duty and morality. However, his soliloquy can be interpreted dozens of other ways. I understand it as a genuine question we ask ourselves every day. Should I or shouldn’t I? Do I or don’t I? Can I or can’t I? Will I or won’t I? Based on these questions and answers we create our lives. Results of such choices help us evolve, hopefully, into better and more experienced individuals. Evolution is essential for the human species. Everything on this planet has evolved from one form to another. Plants, animals, humans and anything else that can or cannot be seen has developed through thousands of years. Evolution doesn’t stop. It is a continuum through space and time. And so does the human mind. From childhood to adulthood, and every other phase, until our last day, we develop and transform in one way or another. I like to think of myself as a being with such continuing development. It would be the worst complement if someone told me that I haven’t changed from the time they met me ten years ago. How terrible? To stay in the same place for so long and never learn a thing. We should welcome change to experience, grow and evolve. We should learn to be flexible and accept the natural flow of events in our lives. Nonetheless, the key is to follow basic principles that provide the foundation to make better choices. Those principles are at our core. If we truly listen to our own heart, we know who we are and how we want to live. The driving force behind what I personally do and like to live comes from that place. I tend to strive for more. My standards rise to another level every time I set a new goal. It is not about obtaining materialistic things, for they bring little internal happiness. However, goals that build my inner strength and abilities are what excites me most. Anything that is of a creative nature, which wakes up my intellect and imagination is a pleasant experience. I don’t like it much when I set a goal that seems to be attainable, and it turns out I was wrong. I don’t like to be wrong. Especially when I put time, effort, and emotion into the process. So, what should one do if such situation occurs? Do we crudely discard the goal and set a new one? Do we continue with alterations, but still seek it? I believe, if we wholeheartedly aspire to something, and if it is truly worth the effort, then there is always a way. One should only abandon a goal when it goes again their basic principles, or when it no longer brings them joy. The beauty in all this; however, is that we can always change our mind about everything. Yes, evolution!
