Life is a game you didn't choose to play,
a game that at times you wanted to quit but couldn't,
a game you had no choice in picking how to start or what to start with,
a maze where you have to make a lot of choices,
not knowing what's ahead of you.
Sounds complicated doesn't it? I remembered that when I was younger life was so much easier, you have no responsibilties and you only play by the rules. When you get older it changes, you had to throw the rules sheet and there's no one to guide you. You start anew. I was told that if I work hard I will be able to achieve my dreams! How dissapointed I was when it was all merely a white lie... I wanted to be rich, I wanted a handsome drop dead gorgeous boyfriend, I wanted this and I wanted that. I worked hard, to achieve as many A's I could...and even if I did got all straight A's I wouldn't get all that I wanted would I?So I realise that life isn't about keeping score, it's not about how many people called you and it's not about who you've dated, are dating or haven't dated at all. It isn't about who you've kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. It's not about your shoes or your hair or the colour of your skin or where you live or go to school. In fact it's not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. Life just isn't about all that. But life is about who you love and who you've hurt. It's about how you feel about yourself. It's about trust, happiness and compassion. It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. It's about what you say and what you mean. It's about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. Most of all it's about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could never been achieved otherwise... these are not rules to life but just a little guide for you along the way.
Many humans now has forgotten the intention of the true meaning of life and the purpose of our life. We are made here to help the animals survive, to take care or mother nature but instead we are killing the animals and poluting the earth. We get more and more self centered and only think for ourself. What's going on? What can we do? People are mind over power crazy, money crazy and work crazy...they are living a life where rules are written down for them...their memoirs are written before it happens. Are we human becoming robots without even realising it? Is there any meaning to life anymore? The game of life is envolving... to the better or to the worse? Who can tell? For me, life is a song-sing it, life is a game-play it, life is a challenge-meet it, life is a dream-realise it, life is a sacrifice-offer it, life is love-enjoy it. It's just as simple as that. You can't survive in the world without money can you? Money wise....there's another rule to it. I'll talk further on this matter in my next post.
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while and leave footprints in our hearts. In my opinion and own experiences, I'll say that we all take different paths in life but no matter where we go or what we do, we take a little of each other everywhere =)
I always have this phrase or saying that goes:----
Don't be too good, I will miss you.
Don't be too caring, I might like you.
Don't be too sweet, I might fall for you.
It's hard for me to love you when you won't love me after all....
I've learned that if someone comes into your life and becomes a part of you but for some reasons he or she couldn't stay, don't cry too much but instead just be glad that your paths crossed and somehow he or she made you happy even for a while. Don't drive it away from you, because if you did, someday you'll think again why you let love fly away when it was once next to you. The greatest regrets in our life are not what we did but what risk we did not take. If you think something will make you happy, go for it! Remember, we only pass this way once.
You know it's funny how we set qualifications for the right person to love, while at the back of our minds we know that the person we truly love will always be an exception. Love can make you happy althought often times it hurts. But love is only special if you give it to which its worth. To love is like playing the piano. First you play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from the heart.
When all the wishes in your heart, all the dreams you've ever had, and all the things you've always hoped for, soured into the sky and were reflected in someone else's eyes; then you've found your destiny. It's always better to have found the courage to love even if you lose it in the end, rather than never found love because you were too afraid of the challenge. You never lose in loving. You only lose in holding back. The greatest challenge in life is to find someone who knows our flaws and differences and yet still willingly embraces you with so much love. The spaces between our fingers were created so that another person's fingers could fill them in.
There are so many stars in the sky but only some are radiant enough to catch your attention. Among those that you choose to ignore is that one star which is willing to continue shining for you, even if your glance remains elsewhere.
When you love, it is not for you to be understood, but for you to understand; not for you to take, but for you to be taken; to listen not to dictate; to sacrifice and not to demand; not to count or measure but to love.
Love, there's no end for it.
