(Issue 33) Learning

With reference to the previous post, I am thankful that my dad passed on his words of wisdom on "Graping a handful of sand". In Life, we are often rejected by someone we feel close to and love(family and friends), while many other times we fall into pit-holes. However why is it that we couldn't celebrate these moments like we did when we were accepted by family and friends for who we are, loved by the ones you love or when we were been recognise for our hard work?

Why is it so that we have to plunge ourselves to deeper grounds during our downs, instead of standing up and learn (to forgive, be wiser and be our true selves). Why do many choose to drink their sorrows to a no tomorrow or end their precious lives (before you even do so, think of the many people who wishes that they were in your position, being able to breathe, walk, run and eat). Does a rebirth guarantee a life with no downs? Have you thought of the ones who loved you when you choose to end you life over a misery flaw? Everyone has flaws even successful people, they just don't realise them as they have the positive energy in them that redirects attention from their flaws to their positive attributes. Instead of degrading your flaw, you can either recongnise it and flaunt it in a positive way or change it. But first you have to learn to accept your flaw.

I believe everything in life happens for a reason, and the reason is for us to learn. To learn about things that our parents, teachers or even books couldn't teach us. I once said "Somethings in life can only be learned by experiencing it". We should celebrate mistakes or rejections by learning from them. Reflect back on all our results, regardless it is good or bad, as nothing should be taken for granted. Taking things for granted might just lead you to a higher or greater fall, if you do not know how or what makes you successful in the first place.

In life, learning is not enough, because without practice, we would either end up having the same results that got us down the first place or we might not be able to stay on top for long.

Next time, while you were crying (which is never wrong to do so) because of someone or something you had done, think back of the good memories you had together and wipe your tears before you start to hate yourself for being true and being yourself, because we should never be someone else we are not for anyone. We have to first Love ourselves, before we could only Love others. Forgive, top up your emotions with love and trash out the hate. Thank not only to ones that makes you successful, but also the ones that taught you to be smarter in life, bringing you one step closer to greater heights.

Coming to terms with (Forgiving but not Forgetful)Me, (taking time to appreciate life and)Myself and (forever learning)I.

Singing out in the open field: Whitney Houston - Exhale
"Everyone falls in love sometime
Sometimes it's wrong, and sometimes it's right
For every win, someone must fail
But there comes a point when
When we exhale"

"Hearts are often broken
When there are words unspoken
In your soul there's answers to your prayers
If you're searching for a place you know
A familiar face, somewhere to go
You should look inside yourself
You're halfway there"
