10 personal notes to self. And for you too. @ 11:24:00 PM
Hi there!! (:
Supposed to be doing my FYP now but thought that I should faster write all these down while the emotions are still raw and fresh. Pardon me if things no longer make sense halfway. Not trying to find an excuse but bedtime is over my eyelids are already feeling so heavyyy (so much for TGIF). On second thought, let's just pray hard that this post doesn't end too abruptly halfway.
Attended a really good talk today and here are just some takeaways that I could relate so much to. Hope they could speak to you too (and perhaps give you some strength in this messy world).
1. To be extraordinary simply means being able to excel in the ordinary things. 2. There are two parts to a dream. One is the end, and the other is the mean. And we should always stay focus on our end, and not be clouded by the means to achieve it. Even if one mean closes its door to you, simply look for the other means that can get you to your goal. Chances are they are always there. 3. I have a really stubborn character. Once I choose to get involve in something, I tend to grow an interest in it and really enjoy it. And it is dangerous. Because whatever I choose the first time, I need to consider it very carefully. It will be my first and my last decision. 4. You notice how people like to overuse the words "If only"? I don't think there will ever be a way to find out what will happen if we choose to live our live a different manner. And here's the thing: it doesn't matter. Because most of the time, the outcome doesn't depend on what your decision at that point of time, it depends on what you do after you have made your choice. You can either go all the way towards it, or waste more time wondering about the things that didn't happen. I choose to do the former. 5. One of the most important thing we need to start learning, is how to live in this world, without living according to it. 6. Stem all your actions on love, and we will never go wrong. 7. Nobody will ever think that they are good enough. There is always this sense of naughty insecurity tugging at the back of our mind telling us that we don't deserve anything. Everytime we look into the mirror, it is like a self reminder that we are just the plain old us. I know it is hard but love, you have to believe that you are enough. You are so so so enough that it is unbelievable how enough you are. Thank you for coming into this world. 8. Ask yourself this question every night: How was your day? 9. Sometimes, you have to stop holding on to that hatred. I am not asking you to forgive the other party, I am asking you to forgive yourself. 10. Goodnight, my love.
Just some late night thinking and hope that it may help some of you in any ways!!
