A New Beginning

This year is ending soon, and a new year will come. 

Whatever unhappy events that happened this year, we should not bring them over to the new year. What past, has past. What happened, had happened. We should not try to change things that had already happened, as we know in reality, it cannot be undone. 

Remember that "Life Goes On", just like time, it never waits. 

It's not about how good the beginning is, or how well we started, but it is about how we continue our stories, our journey. Sometimes, we go through tough times, but always remember, the sun always comes out after a storm, and tomorrow always comes after today. 

Life is too short to rewrite the history, it is too short to be stuck in it. Move on, as we know that we cannot change the beginning, but we can still change the ending. We can always start afresh, just like how everyday is born. 

Let go of unhappy events, only keep the lessons learned. Learn to accept and forgive, and set yourself free from the weights. Learn to love, love yourself.

It's okay to fall but it's not okay to give up as you only fail if you give up. Ask yourself the reason, why have you started from the beginning? Have you tried hard enough, is it your very best?

A new year, is a new chance. It is a chance to be better than what you are now. In every new days to come, I hope that you will be free, light and happy. Never stop trying, never stop learning, never give up. Learn to cherish, learn to appreciate, learn to love. Let's spread joy to everyone!

A new year, a new beginning, a new chance. You can do it! :)

Attitude

In life, what is truly important? 

Let's see which words will add up to 100%.

W E A L T H
23+5+1+12+20+8=69%

Not wealth...

L U C K
12+21+3+11=47%

Not luck...

L O V E
12+15+22+5=54%

Not love...

A T T I T U D E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100%

It's attitude! 

It's your attitude in life that matters. With the right attitude, you will achieve wealth, luck and love. Live your life with the right attitude, as with a right attitude, you have already succeeded the first step!

Take your first step to have the right attitude today! Change your attitude and you can change your life :)

Sunset

We can be similar to the sun. It gives people light and warm, help farmers to grow crops. However not everyone appreciates it - "the sun is too hot", "the sun is damaging my skin". While some enjoy it - sunbathing, playing at the beach. 

It is always hardworking, doing its best to shine. And it is the most beautiful when it is close to the night. It has times when it is blocked by clouds and times when it is resting at night. Unfortunately, the sun will burn out one day.

Like us, we have love ones and enemies, we have ups and downs, and we all would leave this life someday. 

At the end of the day, we will meet people who would love us or people who would dislike us. Through rain or storm, I hope that you will continue to shine no matter what happens;

Actions

Here's a quote by W. Clement Stone.

"Thinking will not overcome fear, but action will."

Does thinking change situations? We all know the answer clearly. Thinking without action is similar to empty talks (talk big with no actions). 

We have to start doing something, use actions to make things happen. Fears can be overcome with strong determination and willpower. 

We have to face it, accept it, and conquer it. 

So, start taking the right action today.

"Most of us will fail someday.
Most of us will have regrets.
Most of us will experience grief of loss.
But no matter what we faced, life still goes on.
 
Life itself is a learning process."

Help

Would you like to be alone or would you need a caring shoulder when you're sad and crying?

I guess the needs of individuals are different. 

If a person is crying, it would be best to leave the person alone, and let the person have his/her own space. Allow the person to cry all out and give him/her time to calm down. Stay by his/her sides to prevent any unforeseen incidents and give him/her moral support.

Don't be upset if they reject your care and concern, as everyone needs time and space sometimes. Let the person know that you will be there for him/her. 

Things will slowly calm down and subside. As most things in life, are temporary.

Failure

"I don't understand why. Why things always seems to go wrong?
No matter how hard I try, I will eventually fail again.
Tried and tried, failed and failed again. When is this going to end?

I really tried my best. But I'm still really weak at it.
I guess my capabilities are only up to this level. 
I really can't do it, my mind is just blank
Maybe I'm just bound to fail. I am a failure.

I just want things to be right, I just want to do well.
Even if I cant do well, why can't I just have a bit of result?
Why can't let me see that there is still some hope that I can?

I'm tired of hoping, waiting and trying.
It really hurts whenever I failed. It makes me lose hopes.
Will things ever get better? 

I'm not sure how long I can endure this.
It's been so long, should I just give up?
Shouldn't I know that I just can't?

How long have I tried? How long am I stuck?
But looking at the times I keep on trying, how long have I not give up?
Thinking back on how much I tried and tried, I have walk this far.
Won't it be a pity to give up now after so long?

Isn't every step of failure, a step closer to success?
If I never give up, will I succeed one day? 
I will really fail forever if I give up today.

Look at the people who never give up and invents many great things.
If I give up today, I will never know that I can succeed.
It's hard, but if it is too easy, would I really want it in the first place?
How much do I want it? Why did I even start from the beginning?

"Everything is impossible, until you experience it."
It's tough, but it makes one grows stronger.
Till the day I succeed, I will continue trying."

Tired

"I'm tired of life, so many things happened nowadays.
How to go through all? Will it all past?

I can't seem to smile naturally but have to force myself to.
I am hurting badly. When did it all started? 
Why do things happened at the same time? 
Why do people hurt others? 

One of the biggest pain in life is usually caused by the people you love the most.
But isn't hurting others means hurting yourself as well?
Won't they hurt when they hurt me?

Well, this is life, full of ups and downs.
We will meet different kinds of people and situations.
We get hurt, but at the same time, we hurt others too.
But what matters the most, is how we patch up wounds and move on. 

People don't always remember the good things you do.
And sometimes, a tiny mistake could kill a ship.
People do not always stay the same, they change through experiences.
And they come and go, not everyone stays.

I have decided, to give myself a break when I am tired.
I need rest and time to heal, to sort things out.
Even robots need to recharge their battery.

Life can get tangled at times, ships can sink.
Everyday can feel so suffocating.
But remember to breathe and rest. 

We all need that. We all face that.
We all grow up. We all can change.
Time never waits, so life always goes on.
As one door closed, another door will open.
Rest in mind, peace in heart."

Mess

"I always wish that I can have the ability to change time,
but in reality, its impossible. 
We can't change time, we can't time travel,
but we can change how we want to live our lives.

Wishing that maybe someday, someone can help me to get out of this mess I created.
Or I really wish I could go back in time so that I will never be in such mess.
Why did I create unnecessary problems for myself?
Who can help me? What should I do?

It's sad to say that I could not stop it from happening.
I can't cry over spilled milk. The mess is made. 
Hoping and praying does not change anything. 
I can't go back in time.

But I am the only person who can help myself out of this mess.
Since I created it, only I could solve it.
Others can help, but if I don't do anything, nothing can be solved.
Indeed, only I can help myself to get out of this mess."

Change

Are you the same person as you are a few years ago?

People change overtime and there are different reasons why people change. It could be due to the surroundings/environment or could be due to incidents, situations, or trauma.

Not many people would change without a reason. Be it good or bad, we all change during certain points of our lives.

Hence, I hope that you will change to be a better person than yesterday, and this will be the reason why you change for the good. Good luck!
