Oh, Thank you!

The day has finally arrived!
I shall always remember this day, as clearly as I could, as one of those days which will change the course of my life, tremendously.
I've finally invested in an alloy metal of 75%!
Something that I didn't think that I would be doing, yet I did it.
Whole-heartedly!

I wanted to do it and had done it.
I really felt wonderful doing it.
Never really did think that this day would come for me.
The want to do it and then to see the gladness in the eyes of the recipient was really touching.
Overwhelmed, simply, with joy, happiness, and love, forever.

Thank you, simply, for the acceptance and wanting.
Thank you, simply, for the love, kindness, devotion and trust.
Oh, Thank you, simply!

A good Friday

With Good Friday looming just around the corner, I cannot but help feeling ecstatic! It's a great feeling to be reeling in.

I'm not a Christian so the religious significance of that day is not that much of importance to me. However, the majority in my school are Christians, especially the big players. Hence, tomorrow has been chosen as a holiday, which in other words is saying that today is the last day of work for the week! Yippee!!!! And I only have 2 periods to follow today!

More importantly, tomorrow is going to be A good friday to me. Wonderful Guy had made prior arrangements to touch down, here at home, tomorrow evening! Even though I would have the whole day to spend, I'm not complaining, for in less than 48 hours, we shall be re-united again!

While I'm very happy, it's only fair to say, waiting for someone, or something, is really something everyone should experience. A negative thinker will see it as a torturing ordeal to go through, something that might break the heart and kill the soul. On the contrary, a positive mind will see this as an opportunity to meet after a while has passed. And shall not waste time but instead planning how to best spend the time together once they meet.

Turning each moment apart into something fruitful. Some might even go the extra mile in saying the time apart has but only managed to make their relationship stronger, for the understanding and the patience developed during this period of time is really testing for both of them.

I'm sway in between both. Sometimes, I feel rotten and torturous, while sometimes, I feel the opposite, that this is but a challenge. Most of the time, I am in the positive. Today, I'm extremely positive. Certainly, A good friday to me! Thank you, all!

Get Serious, again!

Do not be afraid of what we cannot see, that is the future. Put our mind into what we want to achieve, get serious about achieving it, and we will find the way, one way or the other.

My problem lies with me always making excuses for myself. Always, great plans and interesting ideas hatch in my mind. Really, great passionate ones. When it comes to turning them into successful reality, I always falter, either at the starting point, or never seeing them to completion. My vice, procrastination and making excuses.

When I first started with this organization, I had the opportunity to be part of a training. The speaker, one very motivated lady and a visionary, had shared a phrase which got stuck in my head at that time. Get serious, she had said. Whatever we wanted to do, we must get serious about doing it.

At that time, being aware of that phrase really changed my life. I was more focus in what I wanted and went on to get them done. The feeling of intimidation did not stop me, but instead, I learnt to get around them, finding new ways and options which I may go about overcoming those adversaries of mine. Really, that month and the next were really an achieve of sorts for me. I did what I had to do, though not necessarily welcomed and positive actions.

A few months had slipped by from that moment. I have to admit, that one phrase which had profound impact on me, had gradually been shelved to the back of my mind. Being sucked in by the busyness of daily work, personal life, family matters and day dreams, it slowly got blurry and somehow, I had forgotten about it. Forgot about that phrase, Get Serious.

I am glad, I am remembering it now, once again. Awareness of it's importance, relevance and application in our life helps. I must not forget it, again. It is a fundamental way to lead our lives. It is a very basic and straightforward way to lead our lives. If we have dreams, and we want to achieve them, it is really important that we Get Serious about achieving them.

Only we can help ourselves. Likewise, only I can help myself. I need to stop scaring myself, stop making excuses, Get Serious, once again, and never forget!
