never stop learning


The past couple weeks, I learned what are probably some of the most important lessons anyone could learn. As humans, we foolishly think from time to time that we’ve got it all down. We’ve nailed the secret of life and happiness and everything is set and perfect and we’re on our way to success. But the guy up there is smart to constantly remind us of the total opposite. He reminds us that we will fail as humans do. Just because of a few tough years, challenging situations and a couple enlightened moments, it doesn’t mean you’ve got it down and can be constantly happy forever. I guess that’s the beauty of God is that He will remind you of your position in this life and humble you down before you’re in danger of entering the territory of arrogance.

Another lesson I’ve learned is to stop blaming people for changing. People will change no matter what, for the better or for the worse and the sooner you accept that, the sooner you’ll be able to free yourself. People are supposed to change even if it is for the worse because that’s how we learn to change for the better in the end. So never rule out ANYBODY no matter how close you are, how much you know them, if they’re friends, enemies or even family. Cause god knows how much I’ve changed in the past few years and how thankful I am that I did. So if I got chance to let life change me for the worse and better, why blame anyone else for being subject to the same things?

And last but not least, things won’t always go according to plan and you just gotta suck it up. God’s got better plans for you and trust me, He knows WAY better and is gonna do better for you than you could ever do for yourself anyway. His timing is way better than ours, if only we would realize that sooner rather than later. I guess all of this just adds to the saying that “sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind; the race is long and in the end it’s only with yourself”. I definitely suggest that you listen to It once in a while cos it really is full of inspiring reminders. (don't be confused by the first few seconds, just keep watching)

I say all this to myself before saying it to anyone else by the way so I’m definitely not pointing any fingers. This is just a mind vomit that I’m trying to turn into something useful for others :) 

P.S -  I know I still haven’t updated anything about my trip to Dubai, my brother’s wedding or anything since but I’m going to use the excuse of the new century and say that “I was extremely busy!” However, I will get that all in here as soon as I can :)

Cheers
