Hey Everyone:)
I know I know, I am posting this blog after almost 2 months :| Pretty shocking or to speak, I've been busy and stressed, like everyone else ;)
Today I finally found some time, so I decided to edit my blog and write a whole new post, so sit back, relax and enjoy:)
You know how sometimes everything is perfect and then BOOM, you are told you just failed a very important test, or your best friend is moving to a country that is miles and miles away? Well, those are really sad ways to burst a bubble don't you think? I am not saying I failed a very important test, and I am not saying that my best friend is moving to another country, but what I am saying is that I have also experienced having my dreams derailed due to misconceptions.
Now, I am sure everyone has had those amazing awesome days, when they think that nothing is going to go wrong; however just when they are about to go ahead and purchase a lottery ticket, a storm hits. My point is there is a good side and a bad side to every, and I mean EVERY situation in your life.
For the past few months, I had been under pressure due to various events that took place; therefore I had lost my logic in thinking for a while. Of course that led me to think with passion (obviously not the best thing to do). Even though I had to face many circumstances and barriers for the past few months, I realized that there is more to this. I realized that I was too busy fixing little details, that I forgot to take a glance at the bigger picture.
A person once told me that life is like a clock. There are about 24 hours in a day, out of which 12 repeat themselves before the day finishes. Now those hours can be good or bad, like always they can never be perfect. The sad part about the good times is that they don't last forever, but the good part about the bad times is that they also don't last forever. Like the hours on the clock, our life also deals with issues everyday regarding literally everything.
Dealing with many issues for a while helped me understand what I value most in my life, and that is of course my loved ones. The truth is, if I don't keep myself happy and optimistic while dealing with situations and/or conflicts, how am I supposed to help those I love? Fine, a day went bad, but that one bad day can be replaced by a thousand good days if I so chose to make that happen.
A couple of years ago, I wrote a novel based on a young woman who passed away in a bomb blast when she was at the airport. After dying, she goes up to God, who tells her that people are the writers of their own destinies. The novel I wrote had a deja-vuish theme to it; for God ultimately decides to let that girl go back to the day she died and lets her help save the others who died with her. Now as much as I seem off topic, the novel I wrote carries a strong message, and that is to make good decisions. Now obviously when you are making a decision, you don't always know if it's the right one. A lot of times, people state that your heart's first instinct is usually the one that is right; however it doesn't always work that way.
I know that I am not a fortune teller, or an oracle who can see into the future; however I do know that the decisions I make will lead to either my doom or success. Certain situations which took place in my life have motivated me to takes risks always. I know that wherever life takes me, and whatever barriers come along the way, only risk taking and confidence will get me through them. Even if in the end in life I fail, I will know that it's because of me failure was the result; therefore I will still be happy.
Missing a school bus, getting dumped or not making good grades are possibly some of the worst things imaginable; however the way a person looks at those situations and motivates themselves to be happy, ultimately results in their own success. Just remember, you have come too far to let a few bad days ruin your entire life :)
