Life is like a viewing gallery. You always dream of getting the things on display, but most of the time, that's all you'll get to enjoy - dreaming of getting those things.
Are we ever going to be happy trying to pursue the 'perfect' things in our lives? Getting the grades we need, getting the career of our choice, even getting the girl we want. Sure, things on the outside look pretty and all, but deep inside will your soul be happy with such things for the rest of your life? You might get the straight As you want but is it going to make you happy for long? Or even the career you want: will those long hours be rewarding enough for our soul to sustain a lifetime? Or even the girl that you want, pretty on the outside but always fighting with you over the silliest of things? Come on, I won't be happy for long.
Having a job that allows me to have the time I need for myself would make me more than happy. Having a life partner that will understand me for who I am whenever I make a mistake or make certain sacrifices would make me the happiest man alive. Having a family that will understand the decisions I make in the future on my career choice because that's what I really want to do would be the ultimate blessing.
Life so far has been awesome. But most of us always think how better life could be: if only I had more understanding parents... If only I can be smarter... If only I had not make those stupid mistakes or decisions. Cut the crap folks and make life more worthwhile just by living it the way it should be and not cos' of what the world thinks it should be.
Instead, thank your lucky stars for the countless blessings in your life, like how I'll count mine: how I excelled in my O levels, how I have wonderful friends from VS and VJC and church and tuition, how I so nearly wasn't supposed to be on this Earth in the first place, or basically, just having a bigger Father to turn to and just being alive now.
So stop worrying bout your life and start living it: go and do what your heart tells you to do for your future career. Go and live your life how you want it to be. And for me, with my most recent bother in my head, stop worrying about/chasing/dreaming about girls cos' there's one out there for me who will understand me for who I am. If not, I have my best pals from VS and VJC to rely on. But I cannot help but wonder what life will bring me in the years to come. There's only one way to find out: just living my life and see where it brings me.
God Bless and peace.
