Life is teaching us many things from day to day. The roads of life may be steep and hard to climb but remember, once you lose the momentum to move on, thats the endpoint of it! Never ever reach it without facing the challenge. Simply saying don't give up....
Whatever your mind says, just ignore them and listen to what your heart says... This can sound the same for others but in my life, I'm practising it since young. Close your eyes, set your mind at a peaceful state, then think about the problem that running in your mind just now. Think about how far it shows the impact on you and people around you. And then decide what to do next.
Never ever rush in taking decisions. Especially when your mind is not at a stable state. Stable state here simply means when you are free of anger, jealousy, disappointment and sadness. Although loneliness is not a good manner that we should practise but sometimes it can bring you out of the things that make you worry at your surroundings.
When you achieve something, just take it as a gift for your sweat. But when you lose, do not take it as the end of everything. Just give yourself another day and make a new start. Learn from your mistakes and never repeat your mistakes.
Withstand your hope in life and whatever happens, just hold on and develop your self- esteem from minute to minute....
Hope(by Brian Quinn)
When all about you is black with gloom,
And all you feel is pending doom.
When your bones are racked with grim despair -
When every breath is a gasp for air.
Keep on going, though you need to grope,
For around the bend is a ray of hope.
A ray of hope is perhaps all that's left,
As your will to live has been bereft.
You've lost it all, it's just no use!
You can end it all, you need no excuse.
But throw away that piece of rope,
And give yourself a chance of hope.
Just give yourself another day,
Brushing aside what your thoughts may say.
This is your life and you can make a new start,
By ignoring the brain - just follow the heart.
Taking baby steps in order to cope,
And minute by minute you'll build on your hope.
Build on your hope,. one day at a time,
Though the road be steep and hard to climb.
The hurts of the past - they should be dead.
The fears of the future are all in your head.
Just live in the present and refuse to mope
Your life will sparkle for you're living in hope.

Change~
CHANGE... CHANGE... CHANGE...
When we were young, our parents asked us to change our attitude to be successful in life. Then, during school life, teachers thought us to change the way we think to achieve our ambitions. Followed by dearest friends who asked us to change in order to see a new world that waiting with plenty of oppurtunities to win in life..
But, the question now is how many of us really have done it??? Its actually too radical and complicated to change things suddenly.
Imagine those who were born as left handed person. These people are normally been forced and encouraged to use their right hand to do things. Basically its because people believe in such a way that usage of right hand which eventually carries a positive energy could actually bring good luck or fortune. Whereas, left hand is known to carry a negative energy that is not really good to do things. This may seems simple for the person who insist or order to do so but it will be highly difficult for the person to accept and practise it in their daily life. Simply saying, its easy to ask or advise others to change but its really difficult to do that for our own. But, is it a necessary change? Think of that first.
It may seems like not making any sense, but changes are sometimes not just to adapt but to gain more than that. So, think before we change. As we grow up, things will get more complicated and challenging. If we still stick on to our normal behavior and expect others to change, it is impossible. We should change ourselves first before waiting for others to do so.
In other words, we are also responsible to think twice before we correct our attitude. Change only for relevant reasons and beneficial things. Do not simply modify yourself for someone else which finally will not mean anything for you.
Sometimes, although we try very hard to change something, but believe me or not, its not that simple. It will consume so much of your time and energy to do so. Therefore, when you put so much of courage and effort in making changes, make sure at last you deserve the change and stay loyal to it. Once you change, remember to remain in it. There is only one way in change, no 'u' turns at all...!!

The gift of Life~
On the very first day, God created the cow. He said to the cow, "Today I have created you! As a cow, you must go to the field with the farmer all day long. You will work all day under the sun! I will give you a life span of 50 years."
The cow objected, "What? This kind of a tough life you want me to live for 50 years? Let me have 20 years, and the 30 years I'll give back to you." So God agreed.
On the second day, God created the dog. God said to the dog, "You are supposed to do is to sit all day by the door of your house. Any people that come in, you will have to bark at them! I'll give a life span of 20 years."
The dog objected, "What? All day long to sit by the door? No way! I give you back my other 10 years of life!" So God agreed.
On the third day, God created the monkey. He said to the monkey, "Monkeys have to entertain people. You've got to make them laugh and do monkey tricks. I'll give you 20 years life span."
The monkey objected. "What? Make them laugh? Do monkey faces and tricks? Ten years will do, and the other 10 years I'll give you back." So God agreed.
On the fourth day, God created man and said to him, "Your job is to sleep, eat, and play. You will enjoy very much in your life. All you need to do is to enjoy and do nothing. This kind of life, I'll give you a 20 year life span."
The man objected. "What? Such a good life! Eat, play, sleep, do nothing? Enjoy the best and you expect me to live only for 20 years? No way, man!....Why don't we make a deal? Since the cow gave you back 30 years, and the dog gave you back 10 years and the monkey gave you back 10 years, I will take them from you! That makes my life span 70 years, right?" So God agreed.
AND THAT'S WHY.... In our first 20 years, we eat, sleep, play, enjoy the best and do nothing much. For the next 30 years, we work all day long, suffer and get to support the family. For the next 10 years, we entertain our grandchildren by making monkey faces and monkey tricks. And for the last 10 years, we stay at home, sit by the front door and bark at people!

Everything happens for a reason~
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. God sets the trill of human life in the ups and downs they face. Without that, no lessons in life to be learned...
If someone hurts you, betrays you , or breaks you heart, forgive them. Although you find it difficult to do, but whether you believe it or not, that is the point where we would be able to step a new step. For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to. Remember that no one is perfect but should try our level best to be perfect in order to survive in this world..
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them. But do not expect them to love you back because if they fail to do so, again you are the one who going to feel the pain and hurt. Always bare in mind that love is beyond expectations.
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Even a second can make you feel thousand times of happiness or even sadness. But no one is born to be sad. So, take things easily, do your best each and every day. Leave the rest to God. Only He knows the answer at last.
Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either. Although others may look down or underestimate you, believe that everybody is special in the eyes of God. Think positively about yourself and others. Although sometimes people say that first impression is the best impression, do not believe so much in it. Because things can change as time moves. Its just that whether we realise and appreciate them or not.
You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it. Don't leave for others but live your life for yourself. That will make you feel better and courages.
We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes.
We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.
Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Forgive & forget. Love one and all.
If you judge people, you have no time to love them. -- Mother Teresa
