i learnt a term that day.

n then i realise how much it can b applied to everyone's life.

resilience meaning the ability to recover from shocks, depression, misfortune, insult, disturbance. its like the resistance in life.. the more down u are in life, the tougher u get.

take the spirit of the weed, fight for the sunshine amongst all the pretty flowers n trees n watever other plants. the strong will in living n not giving up.. v much admired.

so, being a highly intelligent creature living on earth, shldnt we stand up strong n not b defeated so easily? how many times hav u hear urself say "give up"? how many times hav u tell urself "let it be"? is it ok to let things go "as its course"? or shld we try to do sth in order to change it, to make it "go in the way u want it to be"? this sounds selfish now.. hmm.. doing sth tt u want, strive it, achieve it, attain it. but wat if its unattainable? give up? or kp on trying? n even when the other party gets sick of u n starts to treat u like a pest? give up? o.O is it worth it after all? the pains n hurts tt u've gone thru.. all become a nought. den in the first place, there's no pt in trying. jus give up straight away! but tts not the right way though.. cos nobody ever noe the outcome. okies.. i'm bringing u n myself in circles. contradictory...

i've read "being happy" by andrew matthews.

i WAS inspired. it said live a life NOW. not in the past, not in the future. many ppl kp procrastinating their happiness.. they say, "when i score 3 As i'll b happy" den they scored n did well but they are not happy yet. so, they'll say, "when i get my honours i'll b happy". honours in hand, but wat nx? "when i found a job i'll b happy". job found n u still hear them say, "when i'm promoted n fetching a salary of 6k, i'll b happy" and when will it end? after promotion, after marriage, after having children, after worrying abt ur child's life.. when is happiness gg to come? by tt time when u decided to b happy, u are alr sleeping in the coffin. for a moment, it make sense to me..n i realise, "hey! its time to b happy! n it shall starts TODAY!!" hurhur.. how effective. how many times do i feel reli happy frm the heart?

positive thinking, positive thinking..

count my blessings.

b content wif wat i hav now.
