Nothing Has Ever Been So Right

When you feel so down as if nothing can inspire you

When you feel so lonely as if a bright tomorrow doesn’t seem so true

Simply acknowledge that sometimes moments like these are inevitable

But it will not ever mean that you won’t be able

To surpass any negative emotion that you will ever feel

Or to survive a dilemma with pain so real

Deep inside a seed of hope always exist

And it’s all we need to clear the mist

So take care of that seed, water it everyday

Tell yourself that any situation will be okay

As long as you choose it, as long you fight

As long as you decide that nothing has ever been so right

The scheme of life is colourful beyond our understanding

And every experience we get is always full of meaning

Have faith, have hope, have love

We are all guided by the One above

Powerful With The Way We Respond

People say we always have a choice. Whatever it is that we are facing, it’s always our choice to handle it. We can choose to handle it optimistically, seeing the glass half full. We can also handle it pessimistically, seeing the glass half empty. But I guess, even if we always have the choice, we won’t be able to choose what situation we are in.

It’s like I decide to handle this problem maturely but it was not my decision to be in such situation. It’s so easy to blame the people and situations that put us to such things and to some degree it’s understandable. We don’t have a choice regarding the situations we would be facing; the choice comes from the situation and not the situation from the choice. But I believe that life in general is that way. The mere fact that anytime after I write this entry, something good or bad can happen to me or to anyone I do and do not know reminds us that we are not completely in control of our lives. We faced and will be facing situations that are consequences of the things we did and did not do. No matter how we would love to blame other people and/or other events that lead us to circumstances that we don’t like, it’s not really much of our say.

Our say comes after the situation happened. Fine, something bad happened, an accident for example that is least likely to happen but it still did. Chances are, it was not our choice to be in that situation. I would have never wished for the bad things that happened to me. I would have never decided to undergo such bad experiences but now as I write, I’m still so powerless with the line of events that I’ll be facing. I have no idea what will happen tomorrow or next week, next month or next year. But the wonderful part is that we could always DECIDE the way to react, the way to handle, and the way to push through. Even if we are powerless to the circumstances surrounding our life all pegged in a vast time line, we are powerful with the way we respond.

I was able to think about this when I was walking along the road on my way home. I was recalling some bad experiences that happened to me. I know I handle things pretty well but I thought to myself that even though it was my choice to be mature and to be optimistic with my situation, it was not my choice to be in that situation.

But then again, power is given to what is important. And as long as we remain powerful with the way we respond to the challenges we will be facing, I would like to believe that we’ll be able to make the best out of life.

We’ll always have the answers but we won’t know the questions

I believe that we will constantly be challenged in life. We will constantly be asked to move on from the past, fight the present, and envision the future. We will constantly be asked to answer the questions that are being asked, to address all the problems that we will face.

I also believe that we will always have the answers to the questions that will be thrown at us. No matter how hard, no matter how challenging, we will always have a reason to keep on going because deep within ourselves, we’ll always have strength and wisdom to handle the situation we are in. Times may be tough and light inside the dark tunnel may seem impossible to see for a time but in the long run, it will always be the other way around.

We’ll always have the answers but we won’t know the questions.

We will never know what’s the next challenge that we need to face, we will never know what’s the next pain we need to handle, we will never know what’s the next dark tunnel we need to pass, we will never know the next question… but we will always know the answer… how to face that challenge, how to handle the pain, how to see the light in the dark. Some answers take more time to realize but in essence, it’s all within us, we’ll always be guided, we’ll always know.
