Hello, dear Steemians!
Often in our lifetime, we find ourselves in ambiguity. It is difficult to have the whole picture under a particular circumstance.
You can never be omniscience and all-knowing about everything that happens to you, specifically about the things that happen around you or behind your back.
It is in moments like this when we should remember the infantry man slogan during the peak of the Great War.
How surprising would it be, specially to you lot, to claim that a mere mindset saved hundreds of thousands of lives in the field of fire!
During World War I, there was an outlook which came to the rescue of many a soldier who fought in fear and dread throughout the bloodied trenches of an overwhelmed battlefield.
This was known as the infantry man slogan. When you are under heavy fire, you do not have the whole picture of the battlefield in your head.
You cannot know what your friend a couple hundred meters away is going through. You do not even know if they are alive and well.
The infantry man slogan basically indicates that if you are constantly looking back to see how others are doing, and if they are looking at you for the same reason, then nobody is doing their job properly and all of those involved are in a terrible danger.
When you are fighting in a field of battle which is heavily under fire, you should not falter or frail. You should not look back or let fear take hold of you.
It is true, you do not know what is going on. You may feel anxious and think about forsaking the endeavor altogether.
But this is not the wisest path of choice. In a field of battle, the wisest thing you can do is to continue on and fight until your last breath. The wisest thing you can do is to not look back, but look in front of you where the enemy is planning to maim or destroy you.
The same could be said about our lives. The infantry man slogan simply states that we are not omniscience as the state of the world at all times, but that does not mean we should stop our advance.
That does not mean we should lose focus. If we lose focus, we will lose life on the large scale.
Whenever you find yourself in a difficult situation that is giving you much anxiety, think about the infantry man slogan.
Imagine that you are under heavy fire in a battlefield. You may not have complete knowledge and that makes it difficult to decide and do something, but it does not mean that you should stop or look back.
You do not need full knowledge of something to be able to do something about it.
The only thing required is the will to act! And the infantry man slogan can make sure that you will act even under the harshest difficulties throughout your life!
A BIG HUG!
