There's More to Life


When you look back, 20, 40, 60 years from now, what do you want to see yourself as? Who was that little girl, handsome boy, great friend, a mother, a father? Did you manage to achieve all your goals in life? Did you satisfy yourself? Is it enough?

We don't realize that there is more to just being 'me'. Someday we will just realize that what we do today, will just be a small part in our journey in life.

Is it worth to be having negative feelings, to always be comparing and never had the chance to get to know and to love. All this hate, the cliques, the anger... till when?

We grow up, get to know new people, old friends stray, and some may stay. Some becomes acquaintances, some becomes lovers. Some gets heartbroken, some fall in love. That's life.

Someday, we will realize that all these feelings are actually just a small chapter in life, that there's something bigger, greater out there in the world. And we will realize that if all this while we have lived in negativity, it has been consuming our time, our life and energy. It darkens our heart and shuts us from seeing the light, the good in people, the fact that people change, that includes ourselves.

There's more to life than being the most popular kid in school, there's more to life than being a smart student, there's more to life than being in love, there's more to life than being rich. All these things will fade in the end, as people grow older, and finally die.

We are not, NEVER perfect. So why judge people? Why hate? Why be angry? Yes, those are unavoidable feelings, felt by every human being, including yours truly. But the main thing is how do we respond to it? Live with it, or turn it into something better?

As in the end, there is always a greater power that we will abide and turn to. Is He satisfied by what we've done here? That's the only question that matters. As we are from Him, and to Him we will return.
