Lose yourself
sometimes people tend to forget about themselves. when things look good on their side, they tend to forget who they are. and where they come from. they tend to forget their responsibilities and commitments. that's when it comes back to you and your reflection. it comes back to the question of whether you respect yourself. if teachers dont respect themselves, as being teachers, the parents of the students and the students themselves, will not respect them as being one. and when you dont respect yourself, you forget the commitments that you have and the responsibilities that you are suppose to carry out. you simply forget yourself.
when people forget, and other people take advantage of it, things became worse. and you are drawn deeper into the world of distraction. and be lost and stuck in there. until the time comes, when lightning of reality strikes and you realize where you have landed yourself upon. distractions are not a sin. distractions are everywhere. tempting you, provoking you, testing you. it is at times okay to take in these distractions but NOT embracing these distractions. distractions are supposed to just make you feel at ease. and not more than that. when you get too involved in distractions, you bring upon yourself, TROUBLE. and when you're stuck in that pithole, you don't know what to do next.
but then again, tell me if i'm wrong, every wrong that you make, somehow a person of the right mind knows that it is wrong. you know that stealing an ice cream from the mama shop is wrong, you know it. you have been instilled with values that taught you that the act of stealing is wrong. but you still do it. why? because the tempation was strong. and somehow you are prepared to face the consequences. either knowingly or unknowingly. cos you know when you do something wrong, there are bound to be consequences you should face. before you plunge yourself into that pithole, you already knew there are bound to be consequences. but you still did it. and now when you're stuck, you expect people to understand you. YOU should put in the extra effort and understand them. don't demand their acceptance of your apology. you should put in more thought and effort to it to ask them for help to get you of this pithole. when you do the act in the first place, with full knowledge of the consequences, you were somehow willing to face the consequences. but now? when it actually happen, and you HAVE to face the consequences, what do you do? run away? apologize? face it? or just let it be? but the question is here, ARE YOU READY TO MAKE THE EXTRA EFFORT to get things back to where it belongs? cos the extra effort will not be easy. it takes time, it takes numerous setbacks, it takes alot of patience. are you ready to make that effort and make things right? DO YOU WANT TO MAKE IT RIGHT?
i've always believed appreciation goes a long way. appreciation does not mean saying endless thank yous to gifts of Gucci, Guess, Coach handbags, or a gift of a precious diamond ring, or a surprise birthday party. i mean of course, you WILL say thank you to all that. common, who you're kidding? i would kiss that person right away!!!
but im talking about saying thank you to every goodnight msgs that your partner or friends gave you. for every calls that they make to check on you. for the extra effort that they put in to have lunch with you. for every night your parents tuck you in bed. for something small. for an everyday routine. like your mum preparing breakfast for you. or how your friend always say 'You look great today!' or how everyday without fail you boyfriend/girlfriend says 'I love you'. have we thanked them? maybe we have said thank you. but have we really meant the thank you? have we really thought of the effort that they put in to do all that? preparing breakfast might be normal to us but it may not be normal to others. and we being unfortunate children just be ignorant to all that. your boyfriend smiling at you. it might be nothing to you but what if one day they are not able to do that? what if even they choose not to do it anymore? what will you do? regret?
we humans tend to overlook all these small things in life. what we thought is an everyday routine. what we thought is a necessity no longer a want. what we used to appreciate so much but with time passing by we grew ignorant towards it. full of ourselves, that's what we are.
it's time to say thank you. and appreciate the small things in life. they are much more satisfactory than the huge surprises. cos' huge surprises doesn't come every day!
