Many a time, we question about our hopes and dreams, whether they are unrealistic or achievable, gigantic or tiny. In search of the truth and answers to life, we often neglect the fundamentals and essential parts we already knew what truly satifies our mind, body and soul; what is it that really drives us, to have the passion for what we do, and what do we, as human beings really seek after?
No, I'm not trying to tell myself how I should make life interesting and exciting or how to go about managing my time wisely, living life to the fullest. This is because each of us is unique since the day we are born. Research has shown that in this entire world, there will be about 7 people who wlll look exactly the same. But we know, even if that is so, no one can ever be me! Therefore there is no 'one size fits all' theory or '101 ways to living a fulfilled life' guide to life. Question: Do we control our lives or are we controlled by our lives?
The true sadness of life is that it is not a CD player, that we can press pause when we feel like it, rewind when we do something wrong or forward to see what's going to happen before making the next move. Life also isn't a package that you can expect things to happen as they are supposed to be. A healthy person can die the next moment. A cancer patient may survive with a miracle. A businessman can lose everything overnight while a poor old man can strike lottery suddenly. No matter how life changes or how fate twists, there's a limit to what we can do. Does that mean that we are controlled by our lives?
Well, think life as a journey. Throughout this journey, be sure to expect splendid and exciting encounters that await. What are they? It doesn't really matter. A good thing will lift up one's spirits, bring in new hopes and perhaps, make an impact. A bad thing, however, is not something we can shun, but it is an experience, a lesson learnt and also time for reflection. Ever look yourself into the mirror and tell yourself how much you like yourself and how much you hate yourself? Try that, find out why good things have not happened to you or why you are always encountering bad things. There's no such thing as luck. One may feel lucky, but that is most probably a coincidence. We can work for what we want, do what we want, choose the friends we want, everything we seem to be able to make a choice up to our individuals' abilities. So to a certain extent, we do make a difference to the life we are living now.
What life may seem, uncertain and unpredictable. The only way is for me to embrace what life offers bravely and wait patiently too. Do not ever let missed opportunites and unwanted regrets happen. Don't lose faith in whatever you believe in. Make necessary changes that are good. Nothing beats believing in yourself and only yourself. Cheers to life. Treasure and behold.
