Life Is a Series of Small Journeys

Life is a series of small journeys. Each journey ends when you’ve done or have learned enough already. Whenever one journey ends, we sometimes feel hurt and angry because normally, we don’t want to let go – of people we’ve grown to love and the situation we’ve been accustomed to. For whatever it is worth, we must learn to let go or we’ll forever be living our lives with fear and resentment. Let go of the people who left us or won’t love us back. Let go of the things that we wanted and but couldn’t have. Let go of the anger, hate, fear and insecurities… Just let go…



Let us teach ourselves to learn to choose how to react in each situation. For every situation, we have three choices: 1) feel good about it, 2) feel bad about it or 3) be indifferent about it. Choosing to feel good about it or trying hard to see what good lies beneath the situation makes things easier to accept and makes life easier to live. Choosing to feel bad only worsens the situation and makes us feel like we’re being treated like shit the more, which is a totally unpleasant feeling and choosing to be indifferent sometimes help us not become jaded or affected at all. But you tend to lose one important thing why you are a human being – to feel. And that can be dangerous… Criminals are usually indifferent about their victims, about their morbid acts, and sometimes even about their lives.

When we can’t find the strength to move on, let’s find a hard wall and bang our heads into that wall (J), and tell ourselves, “For sure, this is not new anymore. At some time someone, somewhere have experienced this already. I am not alone”. In fact, so many people have experienced the same thing. Some of them died already, some are still living, and some are living but looks dead anyway! Choose to live. Begin again. Continue with our lives. We are only as strong and as weak as we think we are. Therefore, think that we are strong. No one is holding our nose and mouth shut, hence say "I can still breathe, hence I can still do something” or better yet, “I think, therefore I am” Ha ha ha….

I’ve recently had one journey ended. What a journey it has been.

Sis this might sound mush, but it does come in handy when the going gets tough ... "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference." --Reinhold Niebuhr, The Serenity Prayer
