The Little Great Realizations

It doesn’t matter how long it took, as long as you never gave up. We all had dreams. Once upon a time, we aspired to save lives, we promised to help the wronged gain right and the weak gain strength. But that was until reality caught up with us.  Sometimes life makes it impossible for us to achieve goals we set out to accomplish and reach dreams we thought were once firmly planted in our hands. But it matters not how long we will ever take to make those dreams reality as long as we remember the ambitions we once had. That way, we will always reach the final destination, even if it takes us a lifetime.

I know you’re there.   You remind me of a warm breeze. The kind that lightly tousles the hair of a passer-by and then suddenly vanishes. The kind that smells a little too familiar, a little like the gravel on the road.  I may not always see you, neither do I hear you. But I will always feel your presence. Just like how you may not always see the breeze nor hear it, but very definitely feel it in the air.

It doesn’t matter if it isn’t good enough, as long as you’ve tried your best. You don’t have to answer to anyone, neither should you want to please anyone else but yourself. We were all created to be imperfect, so we can always work towards perfection. It doesn’t matter if someone criticizes your work, or if someone puts you down. Because all that matters, is that you’ve tried your best. And be heartened knowing that every time you do, you’re one step closer to perfection.  You may not be enough, but you’re close to perfect.

Growing up is hard. Everyday you wake up, you wake up different than who you were yesterday. But in a good way. You’re a new man, a new person. You’ve grown through the night and today, you’re a wiser, stronger and more determined man. Growing up might not be the easiest thing, but hey, cheer up. Everyone’s going through the same thing. Your teachers, your parents, your gramps, your friends. As long as you’re living, you’re growing. Embrace it. Its hard, but you’ll enjoy it along the way.

If you never try, you never know. Ever had a big dream, yet you shelved it thinking it would never come true? Ever regret not doing something you really wanted to do? The fact is, nothing you ever do is going to bother you more than something you never did. Stop wasting time thinking of what could have been. Instead, get off your seat, put on your walking shoes and take the first step on a long and rewarding journey.

When you say nice things to people, you become their inspiration. “You’re awesome.”  “You’re remarkable!” “You’re great.” Everybody loves to receive praises and hear nice things. A simple word of encouragement or appreciation can go a long way. It can brighten up a darkened day, it can bring sunlight into a lonely life, it can give confidence and strength. So many times, we forget to say something nice to the people around us because we’re so focused on their flaws. So the next time you see someone, say something nice. Beauty is everywhere.

Stay strong, and one day things will get better. Things may be hard now. They may get even harder in future. But when things hit rock bottom, the only way they can go, is up. Have faith, keep your strength. Things may be hard, but don’t give up without a fight. Put on your armor and prepare yourself for the battle of your lifetime.

You have to empty yourself, before you can be filled. It is difficult for us to admit that while we have been so caught up in the self perceived misery of our lives, we have missed the best parts of it as well. Sadness, pain and anger are all a part of our lives. Just like happiness, joy and bliss are. Empty yourselves of the unhappiness in your life, and maybe you will find that it is now easier for you to appreciate the finer things in life. Maybe you have to empty yourself of hatred, before you can feel the love.

Happiness is simple. Happiness has always been easy. It is simple, and it has always been all around us. To those in search of happiness, maybe it isn’t that happiness is too complicated but our lives that are not simple enough. Appreciate the little things in life.Taste the food that you eat, feel the comfort of the cool breeze. Maybe then will you realize that happiness isn’t a final destination, it is a journey.

Forgetting is hard, but remembering is harder. There will always be a certain someone in our lives that we try so much to forget, but we never succeed. When someone has left such a big impact in your life, the act of forgetting is often difficult, if not impossible. But what we never realize is that having to live with the memory of that person, is as if you’re carrying around his empty shell. That having to remember that person,and having to live with the pain and the good days gone, is even more difficult than trying to forget him.
