Reflection

A short essay sent to me by my friend. I found it being meaningful and awesome so I've decided to share it. Don't worry, permission has been granted for me to post this.

***************************************

Are you tired?
Feel like giving up?
It seems like the world is slowing turning off its light. It is dark outside. What are left are those stars twinkling at you. They are still the same; they never change. They remind you how beautiful the world is, bringing back flood of childhood memories as you looked at them. Do you realize that the way you look at them has changed?
It is no longer the same like how you’ve been admiring them at young. At that age, what you have you will take good care of them, trying your best to protect them so that they will always remain in a good condition. As you grown up, your personality changes or should it be because you have begin to show the real you? Is it because you have been influenced by the people around you? Just like how most of the people behave nowadays. They become more selfish, takes every opportunities that had been given to them for granted. Later, they realized that how good it is if they are able to turn back the time. At that moment, no matter what you have wished will not come. Miracles will not happen. The time will not go back according to your order! Regret is the only one left behind waiting for you.
The world is finally starting to reveal itself to you as you gain maturity. Realize that the world is a harsh place and not the one that you’ve expected. It is hard to accept it. The world is a complicated place. You know that life is not the same at all like what had been told in the fairytale stories. Out of sudden, you feel that life is meaningless. You become weak, frustrated, tired of all those lies. BUT, always remember that there is another side one life. You can make your life meaningful! This side of life is not hard to find, you just have to stay positive, be optimistic and it shall appear. Life is not hard at all. Look for sunshine behind every dark cloud. Obviously, there is sweet and sour in life and only through this ways you are able to learn. Throughout the process of learning, you gain more experiences and knowledge and along the way, there will be people leaving footprints in your heart. They are those who are dear to you, someone who you will keep them forever close to your heart!
Sometimes you might not be able to accomplish your goals but it is okay. Don’t give up no matter how bad the situation you are in! At least you’ve try your best. What’s important is the efforts that you had put in. By winning, you achieve something. By losing, you are motivated to work hard. By quitting, you shatter your dreams. By giving yourself a chance to try again or hold on, some way, some how, you will end up getting there. All blessings are always one second late, but they're always at the right time. Believe in yourselves that you can do it, hang on there my friend! =)
