Stressed with 3 letter “s” is an understatement. If not for the correct spelling that should
be followed, my spelling would have at least 10 letter “s” in it. I was way beyond stressed last month but I am
thankful that little by little, with a few and very minute bumps here and there
-- my life is pushing towards the right track.
I cannot say pass to the important things, events and
situation that comes my way. Nor could I
gladly ask to lose one turn when chaos, challenges and shortcomings
strike. Growing up means facing the
music, you have a choice to either follow the usual steps or create your
own. The former may mean playing it safe
and the later, taking some risk. Either
way you have nothing to lose, you tried and if you don’t succeed there is still
time to do it again.
Next week, another year would add to my existence. 2012 has been so nice to me. I am blessed, loved and I’m grateful. I may have some ups and downs with work and
family but I couldn’t ask for more and I wouldn’t change a thing. I always believe that we reap what we sow and
that we would always have the best of everything we deserve.
While chatting with friend J over the weekend, maturity and
growing up factor in life kept me pondering.
What happened to our childhood?
What happened to all of us in our teens?
Did it affect how we see the world today? I didn’t find the answers until last night
while doing the usual bending & stretching in our Bikram class, my favourite
Yogi was the one teaching the class.
While doing the Savasana (corpse pose) he said “Embrace change and if
you have a choice, move on”. Makes sense. Things are different now that we are
older. Nothing is easy now. You have to work hard to get something,
unlike when we were young where we were given pretty much everything we need. These things are major changes and we cannot
escape them. What we can only do is to
accept it, deal with it, or in Gino’s (the Yogi) terms – embrace it. Generally, change is good. It’s an improvement if you’ll see it in a
positive way. If the change is not for
the better, we have to find a solution.
We have to deal with it and if all efforts were made (failed or those
successful), we have to move on. Not to
forget about it but to learn from it.
In this world full of imperfections, we can always do something
to make it better. Not perfect, just
better.
Midweek boys & girls.
Enjoy the rest of the week. Keep
safe & God bless everyone.
And Happy Birthday to my Kuya!
