It takes me years to learn these.
The roots of happiness, are not found in the search of success, self-esteem, or self-improvement but in an honest commitment to an inward spiritual practice and an outward practice of unselfish service to others.
I'm not there, yet.
But.. I really know what I want, or least for now. I must quote whatever I mean. I must mark my words, seriously. If not.. I will be writing about the same, old things, and having the same, old resolutions all over again.
This isn't what I meant, though.
Human nature is fundamentally gentle, and creative, and it's important for us to recognise this. If we examine the nature of our lives, we find that from the moment of birth until we die, human affection plays a crucial role in ensuring not only that we feel satisfied, but even that we survive. The fact is, everybody need to live together in harmony, and working hand in hand. 'Tolerance' and 'mutual support' are essential factors.
One thing for sure, humans do change. Nobody can deny it. Life is just so dramatic as ever. Often, we have become so engrossed in its pursuit that, almost without knowing it, we have neglected to foster the most basic needs for love, kindness, cooperation and caring. If we 'lose' this vital humanity, what's the point of pursuing only material improvements?
They will just be yet, just another frame of success. And, in the long run, efforts will be gone down in the drains. Failures will cover them up, and cast them aside. That's how pathetic life is. If only one knows the 'right'way to live.. Who knows?
In recent times, I thought back. Finally, I managed to keep still, and enlighten myself. I wasn't happy because I was making myself unhappy. All along, I was the main culprit. I keep silence, and acted strong. Then, I will vent all my frustruations, aimlessly in a website called - 'blog'. It is an internet private space for all walks of life.
I realised I was wrong. I wrote for the wrong reasons. I attracted people to write as I wanted their attentions. I want to be the centre of everything. I yearn to be famous overnight, just like 'Rocky', 'Xiaxue', 'Mr Brown' and all other prominent online figures. I am not like that. I don't want to.
I am myself. I am somebody my mother gives birth to. I am a girl whom my father dotes on. I am a sister treasure by my two brothers. Appearances can be deceiving. Don't judge a book by its cover. However so, I am happy to be born, into this world. Like my name, I want to bring joy to others in this world. Peace will never prevail, forever. But, I suppose I can do my part to contribute to the society, too. I want to help the people around. I want to save the world, and environment.
Many things cannot be changed in life. It's all pre-destined, I guess. The more you want something to happen, the more it will never happen. So, what for? It's pointless to cling onto something, or rather someone so tightly. As a result, there will only be miserable burdens. I remembered a friend saying this before, "You can be who you want to be.".
Don't just pray for world peace. What's the use when you are struggling inside? One needs to practice and cultivate our inner sense of peace, and well-being before trying anything else. I really get it, now. Nothing is ever too late. If we set our hearts into something, I am sure we will surely have that determination to go through that path. Nothing's hard in this world. We just gotta to work things out, ourselves.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
In life, we need to cope with many, many things. We need to handle academic anxuety, assertiveness, death, discrimination, family, friends, image, self-esteem and as such. Normall, anyone is busy. One will have not time to bother others. But.. If we can manage time, why not? I am looking forward to more outings, and gatherings with old friends. Today, I am still trying hard to adapt in school. I am not giving up. Instead, I choose to be the person I want to be. I declined to be active. I am evolving to aim to score well, and maintain good working relationships with people in there.
I believe I can make it. I am on time, now. I will deal with criticisms effectively. All I need is 5 minutes of success, of which is, followed by 5 minutes of failure. After that, I will continue, and move on with life.
Talent + Failure = Success
Admit it.
