‘I Will Get to It’ — The Famous Category

The things that a human being (me) puts in the category of ‘I will get to it’ sometime in the future are the things that he will likely not get to.

What are they?

That course he will get to.

That job task he will get to.

That email he will send.

The CV he will update.

That friend or relative he will call.

The job hunt he will get to.

The visa/passport he will apply.

That pardon he will seek.

That new motorcycle he will buy.

The time spent on social medium he will reduce.

Etc.

The things that rest upon the scuff holding of hope, promise and future. Aberrations.

The things a human being doesn’t find worthy of action NOW, at this very second — either by way of taking actions needed in moving towards the thing or moving towards the thing directly are not what he really wants. The desire for them is not at a sufficient peak. Strong desire, situational push or pull or DNA (one’s own make up of sensibilities) is what pushes a human to act. If not he will not act.

If the thing that one put in the category of ‘I’ll get to it’ doesn’t happen. He will regret, he will be in outrage, and all other associated emotions. Though he feels regret and outrage the impetus of it is false.

Why is it false? Because he fails to examine the truth.

The truth is that what he does not have is not a function of him failing to get into what he had procrastinated but function of desire not being fever pitch enough, his life situations not pushing him to that direction or just his make up of sensibilities, who he is as a person was not geared towards the direction of attainment of the things he has categorized this way. If he gets to the place where he admits this to himself — not in a forceful manner but by way of silent examination and genuine realization, then his regrets and outrage will have no foundation to stand up on.

He will regain his freedom. And, he will abandon the notion of self blame which says that I failed in A, B and C because I didn’t act. He will understand that the acting is secondary — It is the source of the action that is primary — the level of ones desire, the nature of ones situations and his DNA (not genetic but who he is as a person). If these were not a certain level to make conditions ripe to produce an action that would produce a certain level of outcome then he need not blame himself.

He will understand the roots — the place to examine in order to affect action and level of outcome. He will understand that it is not just by sheer willpower or discipline that results are produced.

This is not written as a trick or a hack to relief oneself of blame but to understand the truth. The truth itself. The truth that understood then the human becomes free. Truly free…
