I know I only blogged this morning and this post might seem like an attempt to convince you that this blog is going to be up for sometime. I assure you that I am not so dumb nor desperate as to utilise my energy into convincing my faceless readers. So what if this becomes another abandoned blog. I am sure I am just another entertainment read and with me gone, you would probably replace me with another. Now that blogging seems to be always in fashion.
The reason behind this post at the unearthly hour is a thought in me. In just the past two weeks, a realisation dawned upon me. I met new people and understood more about existing people in my life. It amazed me because nothin outta the ordinary actually happened. I mean in terms of my life; talking to a stranger and having a conversation with the loud toilet attendent at the mrt station is pretty much a norm. But as many would like to say ' The Universe Works in Mysterious Ways'.
I realised that sometimes when we have an idea about a person, and life makes it such that you have to challenge the idea, it can get quite scary. To actually have that realisation that, maybe the idea of the person is something that you hold on to and have grown used to. But now life gives you a different perspective, so do you take up the challenge of lookin at this person through a different pair of glasses? I did.
I was scared at first because shifting a belief that you have kept for years meant shifting other beliefs that have piled up upon it. But in all honesty, I think i was more reluctant because it meant that I had nothing to brood over. Alil sadness always encouraged creativity. It allows us to reside in a world of our own;A world so sad.It's like a drug. The sadness becomes a sort of a pill we take to keep us intuned with our emotions. I am guessing that it might be cultural. Being emo and dark and mysterious and broody, always seem to be in fashion. As much as it might make you cool like an anime character with blue eyes and knee high boots, It eats you up inside.
But i did. I looked at the person with a different pair of eyes and i realised that i allowed a bruised ego depress me rather than the idea i had of the situation. For many years, I thought I was being defeated but actually I realised that there was no fight to begin with.It was all in my head. It took Life's many weird ways to speak to me.
And even recently I met a woman of amazing aura. To think that she lived in the same block for a year and we've never met just amazes me. And then to find out that she conducts motivational classes for housewives and older folks blew me away. Cause although the participants might differ, the principles we work on is the same.If you haven't realise, I am studyin to be a sports psychologist or mental skills coach. And she gave me the most beautiful motivation to help me realise what I am doing and how i can help people with what I am doing.
Instead of looking for an avenue to brood and swim in a pool of pity,I realised I had the power to move people to be a better person. I had the ability to help.
And here i was worrying about things so minute and unnecessary like never falling in love with someone who loves me. It is something beyond my control. And all i have to do is allow the universe to take it's course and just be open to it.
It's like the Universe is telling me 'This is your purpose. I am sending you major hints and signals'. If I don't read them right, then I'd rather get hit by baseball bat.
It's wonderful, really. To be able to feel empowered all over again. To feel that you have the strength to do what you believe you were created to do.
I believe that that everything happens for a reason at the precise time it is supposed to happen.'So what if you're wrong?'some might ask. 'So what!' I say.Who judges wrong or right anyway? It's a matter of want to belief or not. And that belief itself can make immense difference.
We just got to open our minds and eyes to the environment around us and understand the signs that remind us of the beauty we are trully blessed with.
Today I see the beauty that I am and the beauty that surrounds me.
So if there's one thing you wish to take from reading this post, may it be this;
Allow yourself say Hi to a stranger cause you might discover yourself.
Never forget to say Hi to a friend, you might solve another mystery of life.
