I love simplicity and solitude. They both give me a space to grow against the rush and complexity of the world outside. Quite time offers great deal of learning thru introspections and prayers. It doesn’t mean I’m a loner. I just enjoy it unlike others who are scared being alone. While solitude helps me know myself more, simplicity helps me enjoy what I presently have. It doesn’t mean being stagnant though; instead it drives me to aim more for the better, driven by craving for improvement and excellence, not by vanity and egoism.
I never prejudge a person, which is why I hate gossips and any sort of telltales.
I am open-minded though I am often judged as not. It might be because I set ideals for myself. And I stand for it. I might be misunderstood. But it’s ok, I know myself better than they do.
I appreciate constructive criticisms but I ignore destructive ones.
I don’t keep grudges and I pity those people who do.
I learn to forgive those I hate and I learn to move on from whatever I encountered with them.
I am assertive if I have to be. Assertive. Not rude.
I go against the flow if I have to. I dislike ‘bandwagon.’
I learn to accept that I am weak and incapable on some aspects of life. I learn to accept my defeat and struggle to achieve improvement.
I learn to gain positive things from negative experience. There are no such things as regrets, they are simply LEARNING.
I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason. And that we’ve been part of somebody’s life because we have to learn something from them and them from us.
Like any one of us, I am under ‘construction.’ Good thing, I learn to learn in every circumstance and acknowledge my Creator above all things.
Let me share w/ you this passage. Hope it will refresh you as how it does on me...
As children bring their broken toys
with tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God,
because He was my friend.
But then, instead of leaving Him,
in peace, to work alone;
I hung around and tried to help,
with ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched them back and cried,
"How can you be so slow?"
"My child," He said,
"What could I do?
You never did let go."
--LET GO AND LET GOD
The following poem is created by my former colleague in the 'publication, Samantha Nicholas. (Thanks ate Sam for this beautiful poem ^.^)
We find love in the strangest places, in the unimaginable miles of our mind, in the presence of the shallow waters, we chose to go deep, and in that distant ocean, where all things lie equal, when waiting for your count, timeless sounds of my life, i'll let my body drown, into your memories of love...
