Time to Move Forward

Time has really passed quickly when u're in the dump. All this while i've been practically trapped in my own thoughts trying to figure out what to do with it next but i guess, i've finally gotten some ideas. Well people always say that your dreams and goals need to be specific and detailed so that we can plan our paths towards it but how many times in life are our dreams and goals so clear, so brilliant and illuminating before our eyes. I tell you truthfully that it's not always the case. we think that we always need more information to come up with sound decisions before we can make a decision but in truth, we don't need it. and more often than not we the "more" is actually "too much" and as a result, we end up clouding our own judgement. So i believe now that although we should listen to what others says, we should also trust ourselves more; our feelings, our thoughts, our sixth sense, our beliefs.

Life is not a spectator sport, no one can lead our lives for us. In a era when outsourcing is in, Living our lifes is something that can't and mustn't be outsourced. No one can write our book of life for us. God may have thought up the various possible paths for us to take but it's hasn't been written in stone. He has given us the choice to do it. Through my journey with the legionaries over the years, it's told me one important things, everyone is trying to reach that promised land. We're not as alone as we feel that we are.

In this that we're living in, almost nothing remains the same. Not our love for a person, an object, an lifestyle, not our dislikes, nor our surroudings, our dreams, hopes, our desires, our future, Everything changes. Well there's one that doesn't and that's the past. We can't turn back time to change the past, and if we could we wouldn't be in this position we are in. For some this may be a good thing, for others this will be a disaster. But having watched enuff sci-fi and thinking about it, everything that has happened, happens and will happen, happened for a reason. All in all, they're pieces of our life that must be painted to complete the tapestry of our life.

Back on to Change. I've heard this on 987FM and i smiled to myself when i heard it. "Change is the Only Constant, Embrace it." I wholeheartedly believe in it now. And that's y i writing this in the wee hours of the morning, alot has happened and i've been wanting to write an entry for the longest time because tings that are important now may not be as important as it gets weathered by time. So anyway, i'm gonna try again. I'm gonna try to get out of my comfort zone, i'm gonna embrace change, no more cowering in fear. fear of the unknown, heck, even the fear of the known, fear of failing. fear of rejection. I've should realised this earlier with all the books i've been reading and it took me so long to realise the only way to craft a future for yourself is to do it yourself. People can be there to guide you and help u but no one can walk the walk for you. yes. we've all been through hardship be it Physical or Psychologically or Spiritual. Harsh moments in our seemingly insignificant existance whereby we feel that it's our limit. But it's not true. When you feel that downtroddenness, the helplessness, that's when you realise that you're on the right track and you mustn't give up. You have to keep moving forward.

I like what written in The Alchemist. The principal of favouribility: The universe conspires to help you when you in search of your treasure. But it follows with "Trials and tribulations" to test our worthiness for our treasure. So i guess i've this advise for myself then, Soar to Greater Heights, The impossible is possible and miracles just take a little longer.
