been sometime since I last updated...have been busy completing my never ending assignments...and now busy mugging for the exams...the irony of it all is...there's so little time to complete all my studies but yet I want it to pass quickly...oh well..
anyhoos..this just came to me..isn't it tiring to just keep trying and trying but yet you do not get any results...well I am saying in general in all circumstances...and many a times you just want to give up and forget about the whole idea of "pushing"...giving up is always the easiest option and way out...but persisting and fighting on is the harder and more challenging one...sometimes I find that I lack that driving force...it's sort of like a fear that I always have to get a negative result or to be rejected by other people or by circumstances...I often question myself do I live for the people around me..or for God??...well..model answer is God of course...but sad to say there are times..in fact many a times I live for the people around me...living for the world...I really respect those people who persist on till they see a light or a ray of hope...sometimes I wonder what will I be if I was that strong fighter in the ring!!...actually deep down...I noe what the secret formula to this "sucess" is...it's simply LOVE...I read this book "Tuesdays with Morrie" sometime back and it was really thought provoking and so true to what the professor (Morrie) said...i like this particular statement...
"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half asleep, even when they are busy doing things they think are important. This is because they are chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."
- Morrie Schwartz
this is like the answer!...what better way to lead a fufilling life and do everything out of love...like i say this is a challenge especially if your facing your enemy or someone you really dislike...this is one thing that I am still learning...something I am still struggling till this day...well I pray that the Lord will teach and guide me in this area more...=)
