Reflections

How often do we talk to yourself and reflect upon our doings? Ask yourself if what we are doing all the while is worth the effort? Question the reasons behind every actions we take? Reflect upon what upon our inadequcies and think of ways to improve?

The above questions are seemingly daunting and numerous but to sum it all up, it is actually just a simple act of reflecting upon your lifes at all times. Tedious! It may seems to have to consider so much before plunging into things but to think of it this way is to miss the point. Since it is reflections, acts would have already taken place before you do the reflections. It's already spilled milk and reflections are just ways of clearing up the mess; some may leave behind stains, some could thoroughly erased all traces of the action.

What is desired is not to paint a perfect picture but a nice enough one even if it is flawed somewhere. We all want so much to be perfect, so much so that we have forgotten to even take time off, slam the brakes and take a few steps back to ponder the meaning of things and our actions. How often have we sometimes work so hard through the night to just fall asleep the very moment we touch our beds? Rushed the reports and presentations till the dead of the night? Give so much tuitions that we numded your own senses? Worse would be to neglect those around us that is always supportive of us but without us giving them any appreciations because we have taken them for granted.

We regret not because of mistakes that cause us to fail but because of our actions that may cause others espcially our close family and friends to get hurt or neglected. If that is happening to you now maybe take a little time off to treat those around you a little better. We alone can only do so much to make someone a little happier, we cannot give them the world, we cannot be able to constantly make them happy. But for the moment that they feel a little happier because we make the difference, that would suffice. The point here is: "Did we try to make the difference?"

To rush ahead all your life may seems to be making progress and to scale the success ladder to reach the greatest heights may be perceived as advancement...But

" Progress is not defined as a few steps forward when you are already standing at the edge of the cliff..." From a book.

Take a few steps back now and reflect the things thus far...you may find a different route or want to scale a different mountain or even jump off the cliff (hahaha!! that means no hope liao)... But the critical thing is
"Reflections of the past would chart the way to a different future..." Good or bad future i personnally do not dare speculate... Let's just hope it good... even if its bad, at least someone share the joy you shared!!
