Lesson from the Kids

Great teachers are everywhere, they come from all races, genders, or ages. If you need an advice, ask  the elders for guidance because they have most experience in life. If you seek for happiness, study kids around because they are the only one who seems to be happy all day on this planet . Laughter is their nature, they find joy in every little thing from a beautiful butterfly to an make up imaginary friend. No matter what circumstain or situation turn out to be, they will choose to be happy. Sometime, they may feel unhappy after a fight over some toys or game. But as soon as they swipe off their tears, they start to be happy again. Happiness is what they are looking for therefore no negative emotional can ruin their joys.

You may envy them for living in the moment and wish you can be like them again. In truth, you were once a kid- so pure, innocence, untamed, and naive. You experience what it is like at their age before and you can be full of joy if you want. Just simply choose to be happy over the negatives. You will see happiness is not too hard to persuade, it is you who make it complicate. Awaken the pured spirit in you and nothing can stop you from persuading it. That is one of the lessons you learn from the kids.

Take a first Step

It is hard to get much done one little step at a time. But it is impossible to get anything accomplish without going one little step at a time. Yet, obstacle may discourage us along the way but excuses are what stop us at the beginning. We all have a moment when we feel we don’t have time for anything, don’t have what it take to fullfill our goal, or don’t have a quiet place to concentrate therefore we give up before even trying. In life nothing can be done without taking the initiative. Don’t let excuses stop you from archieving your goals. Like Confucius said, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with one single step” and it can start from the spot where you stand right now. Be initiative and fight for your dream if you have to. Paint a masterpiece of your own world the way you want it all begins with a single stroke.

Life is series of lesson

We all have secret that we lock, fear that we hide, and problem that we avoid. What we can’t master will come back again until we master it. What problem remained unsolve, will come to be solved again soon or later. Life is a series of lesson and lesson that we don’t understand will be repeat itself until we are crystal clear about it. Lesson in life sometime can be unpleasant in form of obstacle, problem, or difficulty. They are things that we don’t want to happen but have to accept, things we don’t want to know but have to learn. Let go of your fear, and take courage to face problems with all your might. Master it once and for all. In the end, it is the reason why we are here on this world.

When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.  ~Alexander Graham Bell

Jealousy

Jealousy is the fear of losing self value as you are comparing yourself with others. You get jealous when you see someone preferred or rewarded more than you. Your emotional jealousy raise as you see someone is more successful than you or a co-worker who is more favored by the boss.

Jealousy is a game of comparision and it takes only two to play this crucial game. You won’t stop comparing yourself with others until you get what you satisfied. In fact, there is no alternative way to win this game until you learn how to love yourself. Self value is not come from the love of others but from within. If you can’t even love yourself, how can you expect others to love you? So, take your eyes off others and start scanning within you for love. Instead of comparing yourself with others, use that energy to build your personal and emotional security. Find the seed of jealousy in you and replace it with love. Then you will be the one other envy.

Power of mind

Human mind is the most precious and powerful tool that we possesses. Thoughts are like the swords that can protect us as well as hurt us depend on how we use.

Life is all about thoughts that we create. Your mind can be your best friend or your enemy and it is up to you. If you think you can do then you can. If you think you can’t then you never succeed.  The truth is to change your thought and you will change your life. There is nothing impossible with the power of mind. Your mind can help you fight cancer and also can make you strong as well as other possibilities you want. All you need is to believe.

Make your mind work for you instead of you work for it. One you lose the ability to control your thought. Your mind will turn against you. Of course, your mind is your worst enemy because it knows your strengths and weaknesses. You may be busy building a defense wall but not realize that your enemy is closer than you think. One thing you should know is your mind have the abilities to play trick. It discourage you with all negative thoughts. It feeds you with all defeated stories and pictures. And if you don’t aware of those you will fall into its trap.

The bottom line is stay alert at all time and don’t let your guard down because your enemy is always by your side. Change your thoughts and you will change your life.

follow the flow

Everything happens in life is not under our control. Like you can’t control your own genders at birth or which family you are in. One thing you should be sure of is everything has been plan perfectly since the day you were born. Believe or not, you are destined for something great in life depend on how you picture it. The moment you think you are in control is also the moment of chaos. Things goes wrong then you start to feel disappoint, depress or even give up because you spend too much time trying to control things you can’t.

Life is more like swimming in the river. The moment you try to control is the moment you swim against the current, get exhausted and tired for nothing. So just let it be. Follow the flow. Surrender to the superior power. It will make your life easier. Everything in life happens for a reason, you may not understan why and you don’t need the answer. Just let the light guide your way.

Love

Ironically, we always ignore the ones who adore us, and adore the ones who ignore us. Between the one you love and the one who loves you, i guess you will choose the one you love even you know he or she will hurt you.

It is human’s behavior, we always like challenge. In another words, we like to create trouble for ourselves in life. We rather waste our time chasing the stars, when the moon is right there. People tell us not to play with fire, we play with it anyway. Same thing for love, if someone is too easy for you to get, you will never appreciate. That is reason, we choose the one we love and ignore the one who love us.

Truthfully, if the one you loves makes you cry more than he makes you smile, then maybe he is not the one for you. That’s not real love. Look for the one who loves to make you smile. The one that cares about you and your future. The one who adores you and becomes your best friend and lover… And when you find him. Don’t let him go.

Accept and rebuild.

Sometime, you wait for the rain pass and think you will be OK. Then the storm come next and mess everything. God, why you keep testing my strength? Don’t I desert to have a moment of peace? Silent is God’s answer. Life is just like build a sand castle on the beach. Waves after waves storm to destroy it and there is nothing you can do but keep building and rebuilding. As you are rebuilding your castle over and over again, you start to learn to observe, listen, and accept. Listen to the whisper of the wind, the roar of those angrily waves, the chirp of bird flying freely in the sky. Accept the pain of seeing your castle fall down apart as the waves rush to shore. And most important of all is you learn to enjoy during the process. When the night falls, you sit next to your castle and look up to the stars. Nothing seem can disturb you anymore at that moment. Even you know tomorrow, you will start everything over again. That is all our lives. Accept and rebuild.

Don’t think you are so important

There will be a moment in your life when you wake up in the morning, before you get out of bed to prepare breakfast or when you are on the way to work. You may ask yourself, what would my spouse does without me? Or does my boss know how fortunate he/she has me in his/her company? How will my children survive if I am not there for them? You view yourself so important and concentric. Unfortunately, the more you think you are so important, the more stresses you create for yourself. More responsibilities you add to the weight you carry on your shoulder.

You may think you are the center of universe and nothing can be done correctly without you. Everyone seems depend on you. There is no time for you to relax as a problem solver. Because of those thoughts you doubt others for their abilities doing their own task and don’t accept help from anyone else. The truth is no one will die without you, the company will not go bankruptcy when you are no longer working for them. Your family will not starve to death without you. Don’t make yourself so important. Eventually people will move on and move forward. So put down those weight off your shoulder and relax. Reach out for help when you needed and believe in those who you ask to do you a favor. After all you are just human being like the rest of the world, no one is more important than others.

Love

If love has a taste, what taste does it have? sweet or bitter? If love has a color, what color does it have? white or black? One minute, it filled you up with happiness and another minute, it drowns you in misery. Some say love is blind. When you are in love, you can be so selfish and ignorance. Do everything to posses one’s heart. The more you pull the string, the higher kite flies and breaks away from your reach. You give your love out but not always get it back.

Love is not something you possess. What is yours will be yours. And if it is not, no matter how much you try will never be yours. Sometime it is better to leave the broken mirror alone than hurting yourself put them back together. Even you can mend all the pieces together; what you get is just a cracked mirror.
