Memories are good.
Memories are whimsical.
They let us thrive in despair.
They let us laugh in the gloom.
They let us cry in happiness.
They let us suffer in success.
They let us beat ourselves for nothing.
They let us beat ourselves for others.
They let us choose if we want to choose.
They let us be happy if we choose!
Sometimes be others, put in others’ shoes, empathize, and imagine in their place.
It’s one of the best ways of learning!
Obligation to reciprocate.
Obligation to be emotional.
Obligation to listen and aspect.
Obligation to help and be helped.
Obligation to be social with them.
So beware who you choose to love, choose few, and keep them far.
Criticism is cruel, it disheartening and brings us down.
To avoid criticism do nothing, be nothing, say nothing.
Is that what we want? Be nothing.
So embrace criticism, embrace being different, embrace trying different, and aspire to grow.
Don’t expect the path to be always clear;
Clear paths are easy but if it continues,
There are no chances of serendipities.
There are no chances of innovations.
There are no chances of breakthroughs.
Humankind owes a lot to the blurred path.
So grab the blurred path as leverage points and opportunities.
We respect anything that bores, that’s complex and that’s out of our minds.
Why not embrace that’s simple, that’s reachable, that’s playful?
Because it’s simple, we think we are missing something.
Life can’t be this simple.
But, I hope in life it is as simple or as difficult as we make of it.
Are you trapped in your own body? Sometimes I feel I am.
Is your body listening to you, is it working for you or against you?
Be in peace with your body, get out, get exercise, get yoga whatever works to bring synergy within and without.
Get it working for you rather than feeling trapped.
It’s easy to be busy.
Busy is an excuse, it’s not progress, it’s not growth.
Busy is not out of our comfort zone, in fact, it’s right in it.
Busy is a cheater, it leads us to feel safe, which we are not.
So stop being busy, look for progress, look for growth.
Why do you think someone got a better deal than you?
Because someone tried.
Because someone kept trying.
Because someone was ready to fail.
Because someone was bold enough.
Because someone was ready to come out of their comfort zone.
Because someone was ready to call a spade a spade, accept the truth and move on.
Because someone was ready to kill the ego and work harder.
So was it luck or did you miss any of the above for your deal breaker?
Some days just keep rolling yourself toward the path you have chosen.
It will be a crawl, but hopefully, the crawl will convert to miles.
It will be a dot, but the dot will convert to sketches.
It might be too far to see the goal today, but let the small steps today guide us.
And what if we still do not meet the goal someday?
And what if we still couldn’t make the sketch someday?
At least we tried our bests, instead of watching from the sidelines. Realizing that the steps we took may be the reward in itself.
