Today's my Slice of Life on What truly matters in Life...I have been thinking for days...trying to find out my values in life...how about you? I find this quite meaningful and will like to share it with my friends...
In the web of train rails we call Life, we board cabin that take us on various tracks towards different stations and interchanges. These cabin can take a form of a career, a commitment to a goal, a relationship, a marriage or a child....any major event that change you or take you to a different place in your life.
When this trains take on frantic pace (as they often can), and the world outside the window become a dizzying blur, we can get distracted and forget what truly makes life meaning or enriching.
For instance, it doesn't matter what you do for a living. What truly matters is whether you know what you have a passion for doing, and if you have a courage to pursue it.
It also doesn't matter how old you are. Whats matter is whether you will risk appearing the fool for love, or in the pursuit of knowledge or a dream.
It doesn't matter how emotional hurt you've suffered. What matters is whether you have learnt to let the sorrow open your heart and mind, or if you've become anxious or bitter. In life, emotional pain is unavoidable, but it is but no means unconquerable. Will you allow it to build walls around your heart, or you remain open to your future happiness.
If doesn't matter if you say and do what you should or ought to do. What matters if you can touch the nucleus of your emotion states in stillness be it joy or pain and let it enlighten your soul. Whether you can allow simple joys to permeate every fibre of your being and make your life worthwhile, even though the toughest time.
It doesn't matter how highly educated you are, what make of car you drive,where you live, how much money you have, and how high ranking your position. What matters is what sustains you from the inside when all else fades away. Whether you can truly be who you are, and feel the existence of a higher consciousness in the quiet moments of self communion.
It doesn't matter if you can understand and accept the ugly realities of life. What matters is if you have the courage to see beauty in life even when it is not pretty everyday; whether you can both savour the tingling warmth of noonday sun on your skin and the exquisite chill of the early morning.
As we speed along in the trains on the railway of life,let us not forget what truly matter make this Life special and worth living.
Like most people, I wish to have more time to accomplish more things. But we sometimes too busy with our daily stuffs, that we forgot to stop for a moment to ask ourselves is there something amiss in our life..what is the end journey we want to be. Perhaps It's time for me to do some searching for what truly matters to me...how about you?
