Lessons from Life 2

Life may give me similar memories from different experiences, but from each I’ve learnt a unique lesson and these lessons are priceless. Like Paul said the the Bible, “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child…”. But I learnt as life’s student. Then I became a bigger child – a teenager and I thought I was a grown up. I became arrogant, I knew more than everyone, even the so-called grown ups and no one understood the things I was going through – at least that’s what i thought. I claimed things had changed from what the grown ups used to know, that it was a new world, our world! and they had no idea how things are done in it… Boy, was I naïve!

Extra

I once read that “the more you know, the more you realise how little you
know. That’s something you see in intelligent people. A hunger for knowledge; that’s what pushes them to want to know, and yet never seems to be satisfied. One thing is certain though – the desire for knowledge is insatiable, for the one who actually craves it, for someone who wants to learn, which is why they become more intelligent.

Hiatus

Distance and time are two things that could make or mar you. Distance, they say, makes the heart grow fonder. Also, some say, out of sight, out of mind.
Time heals all wounds.
These three are some common saying about time and distance.

Some times, you just need time to clear your head, to get yourself in order, to figure out where you are and find a way forward.
And to do that, some times you need space. You need to put a wide gap between you and whatever it is that got you tied up in a bunch in the first place, between you and that overwhelming thing; your job or a person or your kind of lifestyle.

Self-Love

Somewhere along life’s way you’ll meet someone who will change the way you’ve seen life, who’ll give life a new meaning and make you feel like you’ve been living in a dream all these years. you’ll meet someone who will wake you up and make you feel  love. Someone who will rock your whole world and make you feel alive. Along life’s way, when you feel
like nothing else could happen that would excite you, that nothing else could interest you, that where you are now, if it ever gets better, it’s because you got enough wealth to see you through life, and that happiness everyone keeps yapping about is not what they say it is…

The Cost

A screeching halt
Reflecting and re-evaluating
Taking stock of what is left and what you’ve lost
Counting the cost of what you’ve gained,
Was it worth it? Is this all you get?

Today, you’re alive uncertain of the future
Today, you carry your cross, the cross you gained along the way
You wonder which loss was worth the cross…
The exchange!
The substitute for something better,
Or so you’d thought.
But was it worth it? Continue reading “The Cost”

Solace

Disappointments and let downs, pains, storms, battles… I’ve come to learn, are part of life. Someone or something will bring you down once in a while. Life is not a bed of roses, not filled with goodies all year round… I mean, everyday can’t be Christmas and therefore, disappointments should be seen as part of life, part of becoming who you are meant to be, a section of a bigger picture. See disappointments as stepping stones, not obstacles. Continue reading “Solace”
