Something we should be reminded of once in a while...
I received a mail and it's subtance caught my attention.
They are so true and yes, we need to be reminded of it once in a while.
"What surprises you most about humankind?"
"That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up, and then
long to be children again."
"That they lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health."
"That by thinking anxiously about the future,
they forget the present,
such that they live in neither
the present nor the future."
"That they live as if they will never die,
and die as though they had never lived."
Some life lessons:
"To learn they cannot make anyone
love them. All they can do
is let themselves be loved."
"To learn that it is not good
to compare themselves to others."
"To learn to forgive
by practicing forgiveness."
"To learn that it only takes a few seconds
to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them."
"To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most,
but is one who needs the least."
"To learn that there are people
who love them dearly,
but simply have not yet learned
how to express or show their feelings."
"To learn that two people can
look at the same thing
and see it differently."
"To learn that it is not enough that they
forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves."
My personal message to myself: =)
Thus, I am happy where I am in life. I am fully content,
I need not prove myself to anyone, I dont care if people judge me,
I just want to live my life and be at peace with my mind.

How true ;)
It's funny how we always remind ourselves to be less judgemental, to not take what we have for granted and yet, there are days when we forget...
When we rant - about the fact that we've got exams - when heaps of others cannot even afford tuition fees...
When we rant - about how early we need to be awake - when it actually saves us a whole lot of parking issues...
When we wonder why we've yet to meet that special someone - and then realise how loved we really are. And how good it is to be able to love in return.
We walk through lives, at times, forgetting to look to our sides - to see our loved ones cheering us on... forgetting to look at the ground - to keep us down to earth, and real...
The skies may hold our endless dreams - but never forget what keeps us grounded :)
I hope that sounded, at the very least, like a coherent comment.
Lovely, at least the person who started it has plenty of time to ponder about these sort of things and laid them out short and sweet - or sad, depending on your perspective.
Very well said. I am gonna use this for my blog. muahahaha....
