Here I am, pondering over three things that will never come back. May this will somewhat make my life beter than yesterday.
The first is lost opportunity. How many opportunities came our way that we seem to ignore them? It was already late when we realised that we passed the opportunity. It can be through ignorance that we didn't see it coming. Or because we lack drive that we just look at it without any enthusiasm. Once the opportunity's gone, there's nothing that you can do about it. The same opportunity may be seized by someone else and made a fortune out of it.
The second is the spoken word. This is hell if you uttered the wrong words. Haste is often the cause. Anger also contributes to the wrong choice of word. It is better to think before you speak. When anger controls you, you can't control your emotions. Be careful with the choice of words because when it is said, you just can't take it back.
The third one is time. Time flies very fast. Time waits for no men. Do you procrastinate? We are given a lot of opportunities everyday to say 'I love you' or to hug and kiss our loved ones. Ample time to ask for forgiveness, yet we wait until festive season to do that. We delay doing it tomorrow things that we can do today. We can't find the right time?
What if we ceased to be today?
When you judge me, it does not define who I am. It actually defines who YOU are. I am responsible for what I write and you are responsible for having a twisted mind.
That's why it is wiser to write down our thoughts rather than verbalizing it. In writing we can always reevaluate and do the necessary edit before publishing it.

ReplyDelete1. The stone....after it's thrown
2. The word....after it's said
3. The occasion....after it's missed
4. The time....after it's gone
Perfection is another barrier. Unready to seize the opportunity. Have to make sure i have everything in place before i decide to to take that big step. We are indeed our worst enemies.
