Only by walking through the valley of death will you be reborn

There comes a time in everyone life where everything seems abyssmal and you wish you were dead because of an incident which cause you trauma, but by getting up on our feet and walking away from these things can we start again from scratch.

Such is the phrase, "Only by walking through the valley of death will you be reborn"

Only by walking away from our old life can we begin a new.

Life without hardship is like a beach without sands

In life, we are continuously challenged by various hardship. But it is these hardship that allows us to appreciate life as we have it.

In the same way can you appreciate the beach when it has sands, otherwise it will be just rocks and water.

Imagine walking on those rocks in the water, there would be very little pleasure in it but to feel the sands in our toes can we appreciate the softness that those little things has to offer.

Self-image and Idealization

When we meet someone the first thing we worry about is how we are seen by others and the first thing we also do is to immediately perceive them as something. So in that first few seconds we are judged and judge at the same time.

In that first few seconds do we idealize someone just as they idealize us. As I have said before in a previous post, try hard to present yourself to others as you would like them to see you, so that idealization may not happen.

The reason why we should not idealize someone is that if we see them as a positive figure in our life and all of a sudden they do something bad, unnecessary disappointment may occur.

So remember do not judge a book by its cover, spend sometime with it to understand its content and that we can not control others but only ourselves.

So in closing if you do not wish to be judge then do not judge them.

The Sky's the Limit!

I was determined not to go to bed tonight until I had come up with something to contribute to this blog. Here is the result. Hope you enjoy! Never forget that you are special and that you have the potential to fulfill your dreams, no matter how far away they seem, or what people say and think about them...

The Sky's the limit!

I stand alone in a world full of people

If you think about it this is indeed true for everyone, ultimately you have to use your own feet to stand, and nobody elses. But the expression points out that some people still feel alone in this world though its completely full of people.

I wonder is it because they do not talk anymore, but surely they must for how else will day to day business go ahead.

To those who feel this way perhaps loneliness is just mere illusions of being dependent and unable to stand on your own feet. Why must you wait for that someone to arrive for you to live your life. They mean happiness to you, but can you also not find happiness in yourself? There are so many out there that feels this way.

So if you ever feel lonely, then perhaps you should say hi to someone, who knows you could be lonely together?

Definition of success

Success these days is often defined by the amount of money you have, the car you drive and the house you live in. But I believe that success is defined not based on that, but on how happy you are. I am living my self in a comfortable home with everything I “need”, but I do not feel the happiness that I would like to feel and believe that is natural. That is because what I want to do is different than where I live and this makes me feel depressed and miserable. I do not believe that dreaming about cars will make me happy one day. I believe that happiness is just around us, we simply need to face it and enjoy it. It is like looking at the clouds, if we will want to take them, we will not, because that is impossible, but we can simply enjoy them by raising our head and looking at them. So far so good, let us see how this theory will go on.

Non-conformists/Rebels

Everyone is similar and is unique in their own way. Which makes everyone a non-conformist and a conformist at the same time. But if you work hard to be different then other will see that difference also. But is it a good thing to do such a thing?

If you shun other people, they too will shun you. Just as if you shun society, so in effect society will not care about you either. Is it therefore not better to work with society or as a team? Once you are part of a group, any type it is more often than not you will be cared and look after, for you are their own.

So why not instead of shunning society as some kind of protest, work with society to make a difference.
