Can one grow big without increasing everything?

From the experience, to the knowledge, to the people he/she knows.

How can a person grow big if he/she does not let go, to set ownself free from all limits - fear of failure, fear of disappointment, fear of fear itself.

To do the impossible, to become a giant, how can one remain constant?

Open up the mind, let the new come in and mix with the old - to produce the lifelong cocktail of life.

The ever present essence of living, always the mix of new and old, the past and future, the dark and light of emotions… To be in the present requires a state of mind that is open to change, and ready for anything that may happen. And to know that anything that may happen just happens, perhaps due to one’s action, or even just a freak act. But since it happened, well there’s nothing to turn back time, not yet anyway.

So look at the bright side of life, and make a giant out of living. Cos life force is the most precious energy that you can have! You can have all the time in the world, all the money you can spend, but without life you can make nothing out of it all.

Celebrate life while you can, because it will not last, and you may not have the energy you had.

We only live once, yet we act like we are immortals…

If you don’t know what is love, its easy to fall for anything

To love the world, to love both the good and bad times, to love what you are doing.

To love yourself, to love your family and friends, to love people.

Everyday, day in and out, to just show love and realise your own potential…

Looking back when is the last time you really listen? To show real care and concern for the person in front of you? When you are not thinking about yourself but how others are faring on this roller coaster ride we call life?

What is love? And how are you showing it?

When I was young, I thought I know everything. I knew how my future will turn out, how I will be popular, how things will be just dammn fine. And then I grow old and my inside die. Slowly forgetting what I wanted to be, slowly starting to just surrender. Suddenly being are not interested anymore, let along interesting. Be it about friends, family - the world in general. Everyday just too tired and occupied, be it about work or trying to find time to relax. Slowly just clamping up like a shell in my own hazy world. 

Where has all the love and passion gone? Now all is left is fear… Fear of loneliness, failure, hardship. Fear for the sake of fearing.

How to find my way - if there is even such a thing?

One drop into a puddle of water and the force spreads throughout. It cause a wave that reaches far and wide. Imagine droplet after droplet, just dropping down through space to make waves. Visualise your every effort, formed by your energy, fueled by your flesh and blood.

Those singular daily efforts, are they directed at your goals and dreams? Or are they confusing droplets falling everywhere, making unneccessary ripples through your mind and nervous system? Are you committing to the right things in life, the direction that you yourself know that you want?

Or are you making excuses? Just like how a man can blame the weather for ruining the day, or how everything was piled up against him. Be it valid anot, no one can control the external conditions - but you can control your own actions. And you can sure as hell use anything and everything to your advantage, as long as you don’t give up.

A great example will be the music video for, OK Go - This Too Shall Pass:

Everything and anything can happen, which is all the more reason that well… don’t sweat the small stuff and do your thing. Or you might get the chance at all - living as an entity and living a life are two very different things. Living a life that touched minds and souls… that is on even more awesome level.

Keep Calm and Carry/Dream/Laugh On

“Noooo” I shout out in the dark, waking up covered in my cold sweat. As I pant hard from the aftermath of the nightmare I looked around me, and realise I have woke up to another even worse nightmare - reality itself.

The smell of burnt meat engulfed my senses, and even in the dark I can imagine what was on fire. I don’t know to cry or to scream, or perhaps to just put a bullet through my own head and end it there and then.

But I can’t, not until I deliver the dammn parcel in my hands. Till then my life is not my own - but belongs to the people who believed in me, and did so till their death. If only I was not bornt in this time, if only the war did not start…

No one know for sure who started it, but one day all was peaceful and normal… till the flashes of fire from the sky started falling down. All hell broke loose - people, buildings engulfed in flames with no place to hide.

I did’nt know how I survived, I was one of the ‘lucky’ ones. The fire did not touched me, nor did the airborne virus after that. The virus that is activated by fire, and burns anyone and everything it comes into contact. Unlike an invisible virus that kills you quietly, these nasty ones sparks a fire in your lungs and surely engulfs you in flames. And the next one, and the one after…

No one knows how or who or what created it, and there was no time to properly research and clamp it down. It came to be known as the ‘Black Fire’ and rightly so - because once you got it you won’t see the sun anymore.

And so here I am, in a race against time and god knows what. To deliver the parcel with a promised cure, to a place which path is filled with unforeseen obstacles. What a bloody troublesome way to start a day.

Enough said…

You have to admit you are old when you start having dark circles below your eyes. When you feel tired though you have enough sleep last night, and you don’t feel like staying out late because you can’t wake up on time the next day.

It’s time to readjust expectations about life when one is not as energetic nor recover as fast compared to a 17 years old kid. Or when there’s no next year anymore and that everything got to be done this year, because one has reached that certain age.

Maybe its all due to expectations also, like how one is expected to behave in public, to what one has to achieve/do by a certain time blah blah blah.

How come nobody ever strived to be superman after they hit their teenage years?

How many still pursue their dreams they had when they were in their 10s, 20s and onwards.

And if not why?

Why some people prefer to eat meat and not veggie, and vice versa? And whats up with people smoking before going to take a dump or after a meal?

Why are there so many little things in life that can be perplexing and eats you up… I understand that ‘God is in the details’, and if so will he give his blessings if I pay close attention to them?

Dear Almighty, are you reading this? Can cut me some slack -  a few million dollars to my bank account will be a good start XP
