Something Meaningful

 Some days, I have the habit of lecturing. On a special day, I'd like to rant. Maybe there's no difference. But that was never my purpose for starting this blog, however, today is a little different. Just moments ago, I had remembered the first time reading Tuesdays With Morrie, which you may or may not have read. It was one of those "required to read" English class books that most us of don't actually want to read. Tuesdays With Morrie was different. From the very start of the first chapter, I became completely immersed. Morrie inspires us all that even when your life is about to end, it only means that it's just the start. It's like that moment in our life when we wake up from death and realize we're still alive. It's also that moment that we learn to be thankful for, our whole life. Or when you come upon a room with 40 other people and in your mind, you believe that you're having the worst day ever. However, there may be 10 other people in the same room as you, going through tougher situations. But we would never know... maybe because some of us are really good at hiding our emotions. Or some us have different aspects of life. Some prefer to look at tough situations in a positive light. Some see black as white. Some see gray as black. & that is why the most of us can not seem to get through the day. No matter how much we mourn over the big and little things that don't matter, it will only get worse. No one ever said it was easy to be positive. I won't lie, it's going to be hard. But we want to be stronger and happier,then it's something we must do, for us. For ourselves.

“Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do”; “Accept the past as past without denying it or discarding it”; “Learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others”; “Don’t assume that it’s too late to get involved.”

“There are some mornings when I cry and cry and mourn for myself. Some mornings, I’m so angry and bitter. But it doesn’t last too long. Then I get up and say, ‘I want to live . . .’”

“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”
