The Purpose of "Shoes"

Of late, I have been wondering about the purpose of having several 'shoes'.

I realised that the constant conflict that I struggled with has been the lack of appreciating the purpose of having those 'shoes'.

It seems that in some instances, a few pairs were meant for seeking recognition. Another one or two pairs of shoes were driven by a need for achievement. While achievement could be gained through determination and some degree of sacrifices, recognition depends on how others respond to my achievements.

I have been struggling with a need for recognition and now realised that is has been the cause of my depressive mood swings and anxieties. Being clearer about my purpose for each task I undertake and redefining my source of motivation has made me fit into some of my shoes much better.

It will be tough and it will take lots of meditation and focus in changing my source of motivation.
