HONEY AND LEMON

The unseen gift we have

Simple things can make us very happy.

When life seems mundane and repetitive, all I have to do is listen to some great music and watch some videos that entertained me during my teens, and I smile and laugh happily.

See? It isn’t quite difficult to be happy.

It’s days like that truly make me how easy life can be. It really depends on how we take things in our stride.

I feel so comforted at this moment.

The essence of leading a great life is probably not having everything you can with what you can afford. In my humble honesty, every life is a great one and recognizing everything you have at this moment that makes up your great life is a gift. A gift that is so hard to receive because we seldom realize that we are actually living in happiness.

I call it the unseen gift.

Such a gift only empowers me and drives me to move with greater and more asserted steps because I know it is all worthwhile.

I wish everyone will find happiness in everything they have.

Let it go

There is a bit of sadness in me when things between people don’t work out. I am often reminded that not everything that is seemingly predictable is predictable. We will never know, what will change in a few years’ time, a few months’ time or even a few moments later.

I guess some things are beyond our control, no matter how much we believe, and we do our part to do what we believe is right. And I certainly believe there needs a fair amount of respect and the line should never be crossed. Giving sufficient room for a person’s personal choice is showing respect.

It’s pretty intriguing how life works.

We could have a really bad day, be in at work, in life, in love, but someone else would be thinking that there’s no big deal. All we really have to do is to make things work. And that’s not difficult.

What’s really difficult is ultimately, our state of mind and ourselves - How much do we want to make things work?

Maybe there is a reason why there is imperfection. It will only make us treasure what’s perfect or how long the perfection can be sustained.

Whatever challenges life brings us to, I guess the best way to lead a life, is to lead it as though it is the last day of your life. And always keep smiling even though obstacles are in the way. And never doubt optimism or yourself. Call it a  delusion or hallucination that is beyond a logical explanation. If you believe, the chances of it becoming a reality are higher.

Laugh it off, shrug it off.

There is nothing to hard to let go.

If things have to be screwed up, let them be. Maybe there is a reason for the screw up. Or maybe there isn’t any. Since it has already screwed up, let it be and accept it. Things will be much better if we learn to accept.

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

Rumblings about human nature

Sometimes when I am so tired with everyday’s happenings, I can’t help but sit down and think. Then I will just laugh it off.

Sometimes I wonder why there is a mad rush everyday. Everyone has his/her own agenda to accomplish and everyone thinks that his/her own agenda is like the most important thing in world. Little did we realize that everyone is actually the same. We are just fighting for survival.

Sadly, most are seldom concerned about others’ survival than their own. Perhaps that’s what survival is all about. Survival of the fittest. I am sad when nobody cares for one another.

These days I am pretty disappointed at human nature. I cannot understand the ugly side of human nature, where most care only to save their own skin. It’s really really sad, and I do detest it very much.

Everyday we hear fanciful stories. Everyday we hear depressing stories. And after sometime, we will come to understand how fancy or how depressing these stories really are. Take it with a pinch of salt, perhaps. There is no point investing much time and effort on what others’ think is right. We are better off believing in our own strengths and how we have the ability to be giving.

On the brighter side, not all people have an ugly character. 

Hence, we should eliminate people who bring about nothing but negativities to our lives. We should be connecting most with the positive people.

Would you rather face someone who makes you frown everyday or someone who puts a smile on your face everyday?

Facing horrible people isn’t bad at all. At least it makes it much clearer who are the good.

Dead knots and Facts

If there is a knot, we will just have to untie it.

What if it’s a dead knot? Are we gonna try untying it even if we know that it just looks so impossible to do so? If it’s really so difficult to untie it, we might as well just cut it off.

If a problem can be solved, it’s not a problem anymore.

If a problem cannot be solved, then it just becomes a fact. A fact that we will have to come to terms with.
