Another TOL moment

Last night, I got very upset and started talking about life's complication. Thought a lot of things this boils down to the following:

• Everyone is always given a chance. Chances are always there but it is always your choice to blow it off or not.
• In life, it is always pass or fail, yes or no, true or false, up and down, good and bad. It is just up to you where to stand.
• Things fall out to where they are because of the choices you made before it happened.
• Your decision-making ability decides how your life will turn into.
• You may be great on certain things but how great are you in using these things to move forward?
• If you cannot commit yourself to others, how do you expect someone to commit to you.
• How to be successful in life does not all the time depend on books that successful writers write. All of us want to be successful but we are all different from each other. You have different style, different attitude and character. what works for them does not mean will work for you and vice versa.
• No man is an island but it does not mean you have to depend on people every single time in every single way and chance you got.
• I believe in Oprah when she said that, "Relationship is composed of two WHOLE individual," because if you are not a complete or whole person by yourself or on your own, who are you then? and what can you do for the relationship?
• It is surely true that it takes two to tango but you should have your own individuality when it is your time to dance alone.
• The world rotates on its axis as it revolves around the sun which isn’t moving. So, don’t be the self-centered Sun because the Earth has its motion and it won’t stop for you, at least, philosophically.
• Life is fair if you know how to live it well. Can someone tell me how to live well? or perhaps, define 'well' please!

Ok 12 points taken. These were my Thinking Out Loud (TOL) realization. Whew! What kind of life do I have?! Who Am I now? All I can say is that I have changed. One day, I woke up and I am not the same person I knew I was.

Thinking Out Loud....

I want to go sabbatical to think clearly what is missing in my life. Yes, something is missing. Not because you can do whatever you want and get whatever you need makes your life complete.

I want to note of what I have accomplished and have not yet done in life. I want to weigh things, set my priorities according to what I can't live and live without, identify distinctly what is important right now and in the next coming years. Keep what is needed and let go of what has to go. I want to deplore for awhile for the things that could have happen or could have done. I know there's nothing I can do with it anymore but sometimes crying over something you've lost is healthy for your emotions. Especially when you have been suppressing it to display a strong facade. I want to move on with world's notion. Move forward and unfold what God has stored for me. I know that His plans for me has been set and now it is up to me to face it.

Change is constant. It will happen when it has to happen. It's never too late to change. Going with the flow of the waves does not work all the time. You sometimes need to swim to move on and not just float and later on realize that you are stuck in the middle, numbing.
