Reflecting on my life journey, I can be in different phases of life and taking up different states of matter. Depending on the situation, I can be in a solid phase, all fixed and unchanged but still vibrates and alive. I consider this situation as my beliefs in my Creator and life values. Values that I hold dear and won’t be changed or traded upon. Diffusing myself slowly in the moment and making my way through kinks and imperfections in life, I realised that at times, I need to slow down and mindful of the environment. In solid phase, matters move slowly in a process called diffusion. Self-diffusion is when the same atoms which are arranged in its lattice, moves ever so slowly amongst themselves. Where else diffusion is when outside atoms come in and start moving around in between the space or even substitute and occupies the space. This would create tensions and stresses in the lattice and the whole atoms which are arranged nicely needs to shift and move to alleviate the situation. Similarly in my life, there are times when I need to shift and moves a bit from my nicely packed life to make way for some imperfections and kinks. Because you know why, these imperfections or the strange atoms are the one that make me stronger and more flexible in facing life challenges. These imperfections are the ones that fill the empty spaces in between or substitute and occupy the weak atoms in my life.
Then there are phase changes, from solid to liquid to gas phase. These changes of phase always occur with a change of heat. Heat, which is energy, either comes into the material during a change of phase or heat comes out of the material during this change. However, although the heat content of the material changes, the temperature does not. How do I managed and handled situations like this, the fluidity of liquid and the free motion of atoms in gaseous state. Relating to this, if I consider energy or heat as disruptive force, which can be positive or negative but disruptive anyway, I need to move faster and be quick to adapt to the surrounding. I cannot be in the state where I move slowly but I need to move faster, always in motion to balance the disruptive nature of my endeavour. I need to be on full throttle to catch up due to lacking of my technical skills, I need to be smart about it and find the best way to achieve my goals. I cannot dwell and be timid like the atoms in the solid state but to be bold and expressive with freedom of motion like atoms in the gaseous state with occasional bursts of electrified air. Ever changing, swirling in motion and moving from one end to the other in vortex of ideas.
