A Learning Journey, Always

If you were to ask me about how bad or good I have done so far in this learning journey, I would say, I do not know and I cannot tell. Frankly,  I still believe that I am not in the position to judge how much I have changed. And if you were to also ask about how I think I would fare in this module, I would still say that I do not know. But one thing I know is how much I have in fact taken away from this module. Not to forget, the friends I have made through this module. :) I have always believed that there has to be a reason why certain people are chosen to be placed in your life. Like I have always believed that these people are the chosen ones, you should too.

If you do remember, I mentioned about appreciating yourself for who you are in my previous entry. Recently, I have been doing quite a lot of thinking about life. I realised that people have often associated life with achievements. Not that I am against that, but I feel that life is not entirely so. In fact, life is nothing if you only think of achieving what you want but not treasuring what you already have. If you think your life is a ruler, make it one that does not measure how successful you are with all the medals and trophies you have this life, but one that you will only measure how much happiness you want to have every single day in your life. Treasure what you want to keep forever in your heart and never to just live your life like any other day you had. The fact that you are now breathing is already a blessing. It is not about how much medals and certificates you can achieve this life but about how you should always put in your best in doing all that your hand touches to do. That is more than enough. 

It does not matter how much time you have, but what matters is how you grab hold of every minute and second that you have by grace. Time has never been enough because men are always greedy in nature. What men should not do is counting how much time they have left, but rather what they can complete within the given time, living each day with a thankful heart and a heart that reminds them that they can be their  very own happiness giver.

I truly hope that my sharing can inspire you to think more about the life you want to have and not the life that you want to shape it into by force.
