A day has lapsed since August 3. As a self-performance review, not against the annual goals, but to the journey of life, I was reminded by a sign board on the wall in the Kid's World, a school building I was visiting August 2, Saturday.
Happiness is not to get what you want, it is to enjoy what you have. Above all, it is the time that we can best utilize is the precious one - currently and for the forseeable future. How much time we have wasted in the past, standing still as the world was moving in dynamic motion. Or at best, just walking into the path as the crowd was going, ending the day as usual. Following the heart to have the one we would enjoy requires a bravery, a bold action and persistency. Whatever it is that we want to pursue.
It is a simple realization, yet sometimes still catch us off-guard, that we could not change the past. How often that we "visioning" to have a different course of direction of our past journey ? It's gone. Today shall be made better than yesterday. Each day is providing an opportunity for us to create a masterpriece of our own. We frequently get it passed by without doing nothing worthwhile. We sure know the changes we need to make to give path to our journey. It's our call to change job, career, or life in which we are stagnating. As with the Serenity Prayer: God grant me the serenity, to accept things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
Another day would have passed by. Need to have encouragement, to get a kick-off for a right path to the future. Many of the past might have been regretted by now. It's time for a better look into the future. As English novelist, George Eliot, said, "It's never too late to be what you might have been".
Pursuing to get what you want is a journey of minds, enjoying the ones we have is a state of heart. Happy birthday!
