I was given this quote:
"I don't judge a man's success by how high he climbs, but how high he bounces when he hits bottom."I have been asking myself this question, that why I am taking this fall so badly?
So affected by it that I can't seem to pick myself together.
Was it the gravity of the fall? The pain inflicted? The consequences of the setback?
Well, somehow I seem to realise that the reason seemed like it's because of my plans, my dreams and my hopes.
It seems contradictory, because one should have these as a source of motivation to move on.
But on the contrary, they seemed to be the very burden that is pulling me all the way down.
The very feeling of having your plans, your dreams and your hopes dashed that was so hard to bear. Like your life has been turned upside down.
Now I am really having this feeling inside that living a life like where there is no tomorrow will be a much happier.
Not that I am giving up on myself, but more of just not giving myself this stress and anxiety of looking into the future, and just to live today as it is.
If you ask me at this point in time if I am sad, I somehow don't have this feeling within me now.
It is more of empty.
But perhaps it's in this moment of emptiness, my mind seems clearer and thinks better.
This feeling of emptiness, living life as it is, definitely seems much better than living in anxiety and apprehension. Cos you just look at the step ahead of you as you walk along ...
