Paradigm

You are the one who can change yourself to be better, not anyone else. You are the one who decide whether it's good or not to be done. You are the one who decide what will you be tomorrow, 3 months later, or even 10 years later. You will find the difficulties. You will find the obstacles. But it seems like a little rock that can not stop you to reach your life goal. No need to find who you are, cause you are who you are, who can not be changed by anyone else. Just be yourself. Create yourself as you want to be. Because ONLY YOU who can do it.

Happiness

When I was 5 years old, my life seems very simple. I played with my friends, do everything what I want, and I have no serious problem. My mom always said that my smile is better when I was 5 years old than now. I said, " Because I'm happier at that time than now, Mom. "

Everything changed. People changed. Problems come. But life is still about happiness. It will not changed and life must go on, whatever happens.

When I grew up, I realize that God gives me a lot of great things, that's why I have to be grateful. I have a happy family. My mom who always call me before I go to school and listen to my story about boys, school, and friendship. My dad who seems like he does not care about me, but actually he does. He always remind me about my preparation to go to school, even he is the one who remind my mother to call me every morning. They mad at me sometimes, but I realize that it's their other way to show that they love me. They are my everything. They love me and I love them too. It gives me happiness. I realize that when I was 5 years old, I will not realize this kind of things. All I know is just how to smile and laugh  by playing games with my friends. I did not know how to be grateful for this happy family.

I also have so many lovely friends now. We always laugh together, hang out together, share our problems, and solve those problems together. My friends is not like a shadow. Shadow will not exist when there is no sun. Shadow exist only in a bright condition. While my friends are always there, whatever the condition. They are there when I was at the lowest condition. They are there when I was happy so we can share our happiness, too. I'm happy for having them as my best friends. When I was 5 years old, I also have a lot of friends and we played together at my house. But just now I realized that they were not beside me when I cry because I lost my candies. They even laughed at me at that time. Once more, I'm happy I can grow up 'till now so I know what is real friends mean. I know the feelings when my 'real friends' are always beside me.

Now, when my mother said that my smile is better when I was 5 years old, I can say " Because it was all I can do. No wonder my smile is very beautiful. Because I just concern how to smile at that time, Mom. "

Although my smile is not as beautiful as before, but I am happy. See? Life is still about happiness, although you are not in the kindegarten anymore.

Struggle, Sacrifice, and being Grateful

"You will never be happy if you are searching for what happiness consist of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. " Albert Camus 

You will not find the meaning of life on Google or Yahoo!. You can not define what life it is by reading a lot of books at library. Every single person have their own opinion and definition about life. They got it from their own experience, when they live their life. So, what's the meaning of life for you?


For me, life is like climbing a mountain. It's difficult, but when you are on the top, the scenery is very beautiful.

I can almost see it

That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I got to be strongJust keep pushing on
Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa
(Miley Cyrus - The Climb)

I'm sure all of us have our own dreams. The way how to reach our dreams sometimes will be very difficult. There are a lot of obstacles, temptations, and many things that bring us down. Sometimes it makes us surrender and shake our faith. But, hey! Life is about struggle and sacrifice. Whatever the condition, we have to keep our faith for our dreams. Although it will be very difficult, but trust me. When you have reached your dreams, the feelings will be......uh I think it's difficult enough to be explained. Trust me, it works! So, never give up to reach your dreams! Life will makes you stronger, guys.

We all live our life now. And sometimes, life does not run as well as we expected. We face a lot of problem and a hundred reasons to cry. We fail, we do the mistakes, we regret, or we have confusion. However, we also have a lot happiness in our life and a thousand reasons to smile. We share, we have a lovely family, we have a lot of funny friends, we are normal, we can see the beautiful rainbow outside, we can smell the rain's smell, we have dreams to be catch, and we have God Who will always protect us and bless our life. The point is, we should live our life happily! Open your eyes, and look within. Are you satisfied with your life? No? Really? Hey. We should be very grateful for having this kind of life while other people do not have it. Every people's life is unique and can not be felt by others. So, once more, we should be very grateful because of this life which is full of joy. Realize it! Keep on struggling, sacrifice, and always be grateful, so you will see the beautiful scenery from the top! :-)
