Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take
but by the moments that take our breath away
-anonymous
The world is changing every single day.
That include us, human beings especially.
We are living in this fast paced world
People are getting wealthier,
And things are getting done easier
Message getting across within a second
We are improving but are we better ?
We spend more yet end up having less eventually,
We buy more yet we enjoy less.
We have bigger houses yet smaller families,
We have better technology yet we work even harder.
We have more convenience yet lesser time.
We have more knowledge yet lesser judgement
We have more experts, yet more problems.
We have more medicine, but less wellness.
You know things just don't make sense
But that's the truth of life.
We have to learn to accept it.
Love it and take it to your advantage.
We only do things to our own benefits.
Contented by being shadows of our own lives.
Living in a life we though that is good for us.
Saying things we thought is appropiate.
Pretending to care for someone we don't
Helping someone hoping for a return
Lying for the intention to cheat
It's happening around us,
Every day, hour , minute and second.
Be it our friends, family and loved ones.
Are you aware of that ?
It is easier to spot mistakes than to see the good things.
We are blinded by the world where negativity is common
And positive comments are considered "unnatural"
For every event that occurred.
There is 2 side to it.
Either good or bad
For example, Today I lost my legs due to a car accident
I can choose to:
1)Blame it on my luck, road condition, the other driver or any possible things that happened before that
OR
2)I choose to feel fortunate because I'm given a second chance to live
It is easy to say but difficult to apply.
I know it's hard to think positive all the time.
I'm one good example of a person who is negative most of the time.
But that does not give us the excuse to stop trying.
In fact it motivate us to try even harder !
Learn to appreciate every little things in life.
Like waking up in the morning,
Taking the breakfast, drinking tea while reading newspaper.
Saying "hello" to someone.
Smile when you think about the happy things in life.
Giving up your seats to others.
Helping the blind man to cross the road.
There is a good nature to everyone.
It is the cruelty of the world that train us to hide our good
And prevent being taken advantage of
In the modern society, we ought to becareful of who we trust.
But that alone can't stop us from being "positive" in life.
Certain moderation need to be applied in this situation.
We can't be too optimistic neither can we be too pessimistic.
Just that very often, people are just over pessimistic about life.
Calm down, have a cup of water.
Look in the mirror and reflect on our lives.
Ask ourselves who are we and what we want.
Why indulge our lives in hatred, revenge , jealousy, back stabbing.
The world is not going to stop and pity us.
Just look straight, think positive and keep moving forward at the pace you are comfortable with.
It is just like running a marathon.
Option 1 or option 2 ?
You choose.. =)
