LIFE Blog

Lately, I noticed that many of my friends are not that responsive as they used to be. The way they carry out their duties or responsibilities are not as enthusiastic as before. Some even simply gave up half way and started showing the “I-don’t-care-anymore” attitude.

Some of these peoples used to be the top-guns in their own fields and real potential leaders. But I guess they had just decided to stay as the potential ones instead of being the great and influential leaders.

What happened actually?

Is it because of too much repetitive disappointments?
Is it because of too much unbearable frustrations?
Is it they lost their enthusiasm to persevere?
Or could it be they lost their stamina to climb the ladder of success?
Or maybe they found out that their visions are not worth fighting for?



It can be quite scary. Just a few months back, their spirits were so high to achieve great things in life but now, they are just numb about everything in life.

You can shout at their face and they won’t feel a thing.
You can try to re-motivate them but they will just nod their heads and stay in the same state.
You can try to re-kindle their fight-on spirit but they will just remain silent.
You can say anything about them and yet they will not agree, nor would they disagree.

Well, this is dangerous my friend. No matter what sort of reason it is, we shouldn’t put ourselves in this kind of state.

This is the same state a killer would have when they are killing someone. This is the same state of someone that would commit suicide. It will start from something that is not so serious such as lying, making false accusations, procrastination, denying the truths, slack and sloppy, show the “whatever” attitude and so on. All these might seems like minor problems but it will eventually lead to that extreme state of numbness if not tackled early.

It will be something like putting our hands on a hot kettle and yet you don’t feel a thing! They lost their emotional-senses and this is not good. Though they might not feel the heat on their hands but the heat will definitely burn their skin. They might not feel anything when they are being scolded, shouted, corrected, confronted or motivated but for sure, their reputations will be tarnished, their trusts might be gone and eventually, they will lost their respects as well.

Well, that’s why we need to find someone that we can be accountable with such as our leaders, mentors, parents or buddies. We should give them some exclusive rights for them to speak into our lives and constantly remind ourselves about these rights that we have given out to them. They are just like the thermometers that will measure the ‘temperature’ (the seriousness) of some of the issues or situations in life. Some will give you better readings as they might have the experiences or have all the detailed walk-through.

Sometimes, it is good to get a few readings (opinions) before drawing a conclusion to a matter. Choose wisely on who you should be accountable with and do respect your own decision for choosing them by listening to them. They are not always right, neither do we.

Hope this will serves as a reminder for all of you (and myself or course) to not come to the state of NUMBED!
