Everyday we wake up, we thank God for giving us another chance to make amendments. No matter how bad life is, we should never give up trying. Another day means another try at life. Nothing is always good. There will be bad times. But nothing is always bad either. We just have to try and see it from a better point of view. There is always another point of view. So, living is pretty simple - wake up, be thankful and be pretty. God is fair.
We have a one heart, but many other hearts to help heal. Don't be a coward and creep under a rock. Hold out your hands and help the ones needed. A smile for the ones who are having a bad day, a hug for those who are going through hard times, a word of support for those who are breaking down, a minute with a friend, a cup of coffee for mom who's been working all day long. So many things. Don't chicken out. Small things make up a big change. One big heart can make a lot of other lives meaningful.
I keep reminding myself ever so constantly that there is so much to life than just satisfying myself with the need of myself. One of the first thing my sister said to me is that in life we have to stop thinking about what people can give to us, and start thinking what we can give to people. Life is a cycle after all; we give and we take. Happiness is not only about receiving, but it's also about giving. The world needs balance. Balance gives the peaceful, neutral feeling I guess.
I overthink. Too much. (explaining my random rantings) And it's really hard to 'organise' the things in my head. That is why I try very hard to remind myself all the good things I should be doing rather than pondering upon the things I don't like. My head can think and process about a hell lot of things all at the same time and it stresses me out because there are so many things that aren't even suppose to be there. I find it really hard to keep calm and find peace. My head just won't rest and it keeps me miserable. I wish I could hold more attention on things that matter, such as academia stuffs. They may not seem to be any much relieving, but at least they are things that matter and important. The things that go through my head always take me down. But I realized that if I fight it, I'd come up so much stronger and better. I have to have faith. Faith has kept me going for so long. Faith in my religion, of course, had kept me alive. Faith in my family has kept me believing that loving and caring is such a wonderful thing. Faith in my friends has kept me believing that strangers can be a miracle.
Life is such a wonderful gift. Every day we are gifted with another day to make great things. That is why it is called present. Who doesn't like getting presents? God gives it to us everyday. Be thankful. Be reflective. Be productive. At the end of the day, think back, 'What have you contributed to the world, besides carbon dioxides?'. If there is nothing, then possibly you should think about it again. :)
With that, I end my blog post. Oh, before I forget, SALAM RAMADAN TO ALL MUSLIMS. :) Selamat berpuasa. Semoga bulan Ramadan kali ini lebih baik dari yang sebelumnya. InsyaAllah.
