WHAT DO I APPRECIATE ABOUT MY LIFE?
I used to be DEMANDING… but after experiencing a lot of bad
and complicated things in my life I learned to appreciate simple MAJOR things.
I admit that I used to be materialistic. I wanted to have the latest things that
are available in the market, I wanted to have what other people have but I got
lost along the way… I felt like I don’t know myself anymore. I find myself
following the directions of other people, walking on the path created by others…
I became one of the USUAL girls. Since creativity and uniqueness are things
that I enjoy, I controlled myself and tried to break free from the TYPICALITY of
ORDINARY GIRLS. Now, I appreciate the sunset, sunrise, the clean air, nature,
animals, people, strangers, LOVE, LIFE, light and most of all I appreciate
simple things given to me by people who are important to me. I appreciate my
LIFE and every single day I have.
AM I SPENDING TIME WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE?
I believe I am spending my PRECIOUS time with the RIGHT
people. How can I say? Because I AM HAPPY. When I was spending my time with the
WRONG PEOPLE I only found darkness… my life was depressing and my environment
attracted all kinds of bad people.
And now that RIGHT people are on my side… I cannot ask for
more. I am contented with all of them. I am very thankful that I met them and
that they became part of my life.
WHAT CAN I DO RIGHT NOW TO MOVE TOWARD MY GOALS?
Work hard and take plans into action. That’s what I intended
to do. Every single day I have is a chance to move closer towards my goal. However,
I am willing to sacrifice things along the way to satisfy my happiness and happiness of people who are imprtant. I
cannot really say what will happen to me in the future… I do things right now
like studying and working because they are the only things I can do. I am not
going to CLOSE my door to things that are important… or maybe will become
important.
AM I SELLING MYSELF SHORT?
A long time ago, there were people who took advantage of me.
I gave all the things they want from me but I haven’t received anything. I am
not really asking for anything but even kindness… I wasn’t able to receive it
from them. However, I learned my lesson… give and take… but sometimes my
selflessness dominates me reason why I tend to give more to people without even
receiving the same courtesy I gave them.
HOW AM I AFFECTING THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE?
Positively. I always give advice and words of encouragement
to IMPORTANT PEOPLE in my life. I want to help them and I want them to know
that they are important to me. So far, I had received feedbacks that I affected
their life in a positive way… I am thankful that I was able to help.
AM I HOLDING ON TO SOMETHING I NEED TO LET GO OF?
Honestly, YES. Things happened to me from the past… I cannot
easily forget them. The wounds are still fresh… I need more time to forgive
people who did wrong things to me. I am not closing my door to forgiveness… I just
need time to recollect my thoughts because remembering the hurtful events in my
life bring me back to depression.
WHO DESERVES TO BE FORGIVEN?
People who are sincere and have respect to themselves and to
other people.
WHAT ARE MY FEARS STOPPING ME FROM DOING?
I have a lot of fears but slowly I am trying to fight them
so that I can do things that I want to do and say things that I want to say. I don’t
want to have regrets again... because the burden is too heavy. That’s why, I say
what I want to say and do things that I want to do… NOW.
