Around us today, we see everyone will or is working hard after completing their schools and universities. Unless one is born in wealthy family, having had the silver spoon in their mouth as baby, they need not to worry bout money. For the rest of us, we are working for money or giving in our precious time to buy ourselves and our family a comfortable life. We see some people who work really hard (like no day no night) and some who will bullshit, stabs and all sort of dirty tricks to get to the top for better pay. We don't blame them because, we ourselves know that in today's world, if you don't have enough moolah, it's equal to no life. The cost of living is so high that everyone is fighting to get their share of $$$$ (income).
Me being one of them. I don't stab, in fact I was the victim. Despite the effort and hardwork you show at work, sometimes you just have to give it up and continue your path (career path is what i meant here) elsewhere and continue the working for more money life. As the hearsay goes, what doesn't kill you actually makes you stronger.
After all the busy life, do one actually take time to ponder... to reflect themselves, to appreciate the people and things around them? Most of us didn't. We forgot our roots, we forgot to reflect and most of the time we only regretted when things happened. Then we blame ourselves even more, some got to the extend of giving up their life, living in depression, becoming society waste and bla bla bla....
I realize now that I need to slow down, I regretted that I didn't spend enough time with my grandma while she's around. She was the one that took care of me, going thru all the hard time up bringing me when I was a kid. But I didn't pay her back and now she's gone and I miss her terribly. Well, I'm hoping the same incident won't happen once again, hence the spending more time with my parents who are getting older now.
I was in the yoga class yesterday and well, all of sudden there is this new instructor now for the thursday class which I had missed for so long. A young lady and pretty one. At the end of the class, she shared with us a song she came across that reflected her and believe that it reflected many of us, so i went home and took a search of the song. I do agree with her... it's a song so meaningful that I think I gotta share it. I have had the meaningful lines highlighted. Sit back and take a listen..
Who You Are, Jessie J
I stare at my reflection in the mirror:
"Why am I doing this to myself?"
Losing my mind on a tiny error,
I nearly left the real me on the shelf.
No, no, no, no, no...
Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay.
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are!
(who you are [x11])
Brushing my hair, do I look perfect?
I forgot what to do to fit the mold, yeah!
The more I try the less it's working, yeah
'Cause everything inside me screams
No, no, no, no, no...
Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay.
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
There's nothing wrong with who you are!
Yes, no's, egos, fake shows, like whoa!
Just go and leave me alone!
Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight,
With a smile that's my own!
That's my own, no...
No, no, no, no, no...
Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay...
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are!
Yeah yeah yeah
Remember, you need to reflect yourself now...before life and work taking its toll on you.
