Self Reflection
I rarely used to notice anything in my surroundings, the sky, or any other simple things before. Nowadays, I am more aware of every tiny detail, whether it’s the colour of the sky, distant hills, or the brightest star in the sky. I notice the shape of the moon, the clouds, birds, trees, music and arts in depth, sound of rain,human suffering, and so on. I think I am more grateful now for what I have, most of all, for being alive and hopeful about my future. I am grateful to be healthy after going through two surgeries at the age of 19 and experiencing consecutive depressive thoughts for the past three years. I have forgiven myself for my past mistakes. I was naive and gullible, which is why I used to believe every word that came out of people’s mouths. How I see the world has changed a lot over these past years, but I still strive to view this world through a positive perspective. I’ve done a lot of self-reflection and have a clearer understanding of myself. Somedays it’s hard to find motivation, but noticing these tiny things and recognizing that we are a minuscule part of this vast universe reminds us to keep going because, in the end, nothing really matters. In contrast, as long as we are alive, every little thing matters, especially our happiness. What we thought would remain forever with us whether it was our beliefs & thoughts or people, often becomes distant, and what we thought we would never get along with comes closer with change in circumstances and new experiences. We have to learn when to let go, whether it’s thoughts or people.
Whatever you do, do it with peace of mind, love with peace in your mind, and that’s what truly matters, even knowing it won’t matter one day when we are no longer here. There is so much to learn, and it’s more fun in finding a way to progress in the never-ending learning process of our life..
