Sometimes when you love someone you gotta forget your own happiness.
And remember theirs. True? But..
I think life is really about touching the lives of people around us. Making a difference. Accepting people for who they are, going out of our way to help others and loving with all that we've got. Sometimes all it takes is one simple gesture, and we can put a smile on someone’s face and make them feel less alone. That is what we should live for, because when we’re gone from this world, we can’t take anything with us. All that’s left are the people whose lives we touched and the difference we've made while we were here. So make this life count, because we don’t get a second chance.
While thinking and doing something for others to make them happy, we should not forget to love ourselves first. Because how can we love other people in a right way if we don't know how to love and respect our own.
Second year college, I remember this question from my REED Professor ;
"You have a very close friend, and his house have to bulldoze for some reason, what are you going to do, what are you going to say? He will lose his house." -with this question, no one got the right answer. He then reveal the correct answer. "You don't need to say anything. Because no matter what words will come out to your mouth, he will not listen to you. What you have to do is, just be at his side. Your PRESENCE! Your presence is important at that moment. You don't know how he feels, because you're not the one experiencing it. So, your comfort, says it all."
If I would have a chance to answer it right now, I will do the same. lol I mean, I will answer the same. My Professor was right!
Nowadays, people are intensely selfish and has no feeling or consideration for others. They say something bad right in front of you, without thinking if it is right. All of a sudden they will say "sorry, I didn't mean it" (like, what the hell?) Saying "I'm Sorry" doesn't always cut it. Because we use it in so many different ways: as a weapon, as an excuse. But when we are really sorry, when we use it right. When we mean it. When actions say what words never can. Like, don't bother apologizing if you're just going to continue doing the things you said sorry for. And by the time you changed and really mean that "sorry" no one would believe you. And for me, that's the worst thing ever.
No matter how much time we spent or how much we appreciated them and told them so, it will never seem like it was enough, still we are going to lose people in our lives. Now, we have to be more sensitive.
So we should look at everything as though we were seeing it either for the first or last time. We should keep in mind that, not everything in this world have "second chance" Okay? *wink
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends. Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
