There are things that I would like to happen if only my will is granted. Time takes it toll on me sometimes and I keep on wishing that things will materialize the way I want them too. But that is not always the case. As days, weeks, months and years pass by, valuable lessons are learned every single day.
Lesson 1: Waiting.
It is a double edged sword. You either mature and grow as a person or it could be, you grow idle and dull. Waiting teaches us to be patient. It teaches us that there is a time for everything and in it's due time, things will fall in its place. They also say, good things happen to those who wait. This maybe true to some but there are also people who waited long enough and yet all those efforts went into vain. So where do you draw the line? Tough call, very.
Lesson 2: People.
Change is the only constant thing in this world and some people in our lives will have a change of heart. They are not always the way they are. Some will hurt us, some will betray us and some loves us more. Friendships just like any form of relationship has an end and you have to know when to let it go. Say enough when it is enough. What good will it to you to waste your time and energy to a dying one? Use that energy instead to nurture the existing ones. Move on because at some point, there is just one thing left for you to do when you are feeling stuck, that is, to move on.
Lesson 3: Plans / Goals.
A friend of mine, Malou, posted on Facebook once and I quote: "we should never plan out our future including others in it, unless they really want to be part of it". Isn't it frustrating to plan something and realize you are the only want who is willing to work on it? People who wants to be part of your life for good will make every possible way to make it permanent...that is if they really want to be a part of it. Planning is a systematic way of doing things. It just doesn't happen overnight. It has to be voice out, drawn, carried out and not simply assume. So don't commit the mistake that we so often love to make, assumption.

for waiting... life is a gamble. It's hard to know how things will work out in the end. It's hard to know when to 'Seize the day' or to 'Wait until it's your turn'... as for assumptions.. yes, it's hard to rely on what we think people want. It's always better to ask straight out and hear an answer you don't want to hear that to find out you wasted your life waiting for something that was never there...
On life plans, I suppose that if Aimlessness was a degree, I'd have top honors. To be honest, two years out of college and I still don't know what I want to do with my life.
Hey Mommy! I like your blog's new look btw. :)
