You know what? Life on earth is never meant to be a bed of roses. Even roses grow along with thorns. Sometimes I really hate it, how we are forced to be caught up in unpleasant situations. Every day you just have to strive to do the best, whether you like it or not. The thing is, are you striving blindly or with purpose? Why do you even work hard? Yes, get back to the core of all these, you know that there are too many reasons to keep holding on.
and yes, this post I'm writing to myself. Why are you complaining so much, why do you do all these with such bitterness? Yes you're doing everything down to the most detailed part but something is missing. Joy in the midst of doing things. Remember how it feels like when you didn't get to go to lectures and school, remember how you've longed for all these. Remember how you've promised yourself that no matter how much you detest the minor subjects that accompany, you would go for it willingly for it brings you to your goal. Remember how you love doing assignments. Just that this is not the subject you like, just the subject matter, 2 more months and you will regret doing it with a wrong mindset. You'd regret doing it out of bitterness. Even trouble is an opportunity to learn something, why not just pick up the challenge and conquer it in excellence? You know, you don't like yourself murmuring so much. so why do you even do that? Think of the satisfaction of getting it well done. Aim, imagine by visualizing and proclaim it.
now, think of the blessings you have got. Are they not enough to be considered a good life? Have you not been overwhelmed with blessings? Have you received so much things and not being thankful enough?
A small dot on a blank sheet of paper can be viewed in 2 perspectives : 1. the paper is stained with a black dot; 2. there is so much space on the sheet of paper that is white!
You know the answer already. Now, do things with a grateful heart. :)
