Sometimes we think too much. We read too much into peoples' actions, thinking that they have ulterior motives, when all they want to do is just to help you. And in other cases, our thoughts and attitudes are so complicated that people are unable to understand us. In an attempt to hit the century post on this blog (we're at 91 now, excluding this one) , I'll revisit simplicity, to its very roots.Simple. Innocent, trusting. Believing that there is still good in all people. Looking at the positives of life and people, instead of focusing on the negatives. This is simplicity. Knowing that the world out there is not very desirable, yet choosing not to dwell in its imperfections, instead holding on to faith, hope and love. Circumstances look bleak, but we continue to trust, to hope that all will work out in the end. Not wrapping ourselves up in our emotions, getting consumed by them, letting them shape us into the very people that we don't wish to become. Simple. Sometimes that's all we need. We'll feel better, I guess. But that's not all. We'll know for sure that there are better times coming. As simple as that.

I can hear the raindrops falling outside. Or is it just a figment of my all-too creative imagination? Perhaps. But it doesn't matter, not really. Not when we are free to imagine things that we would like to see in this crazy world. For example, peace, justice, honour, just to name a few. Who wouldn't desire more of these traits and values being lived out, being practiced around the world? Especially when it seems so difficult to discover even a fragment of the above-mentioned values in day to day situations. Another day, another murder, another robbery, another dishonest act. Depressing isn't it? But truly, nothing in this world can or ever will be perfect. Circumstances, the environment and people will never stop changing. Indeed, the only constant in life is CHANGE itself. Instead of complaining and then retreating into our own shells, then expecting the situations to change for the better, to be more convienient for us, why not adjust and adapt to the circumstances itself? Most of the time, it is us who need to change, since the notion of the circumstance changing to suit our preferences is usually out of the question. To thrive in any circumstance, to be independent of our circumstance and not be victimised by them, we need to develop the ability to adjust in all situations, good or bad. But this doesn't mean we compromise on our values, our stands on various key issues on our life, just to adapt. We still need to stand by our convictions, firmly rooted to our beliefs. And in the process of doing so, we never stop doing our best to influence others in a good way. Adjust our mindsets, our attitudes, in a way that is beneficial to society and the world at large. =)

holidays are here. yet again. for some, it may be a good time to catch up on lost sleep. for others, it may present the perfect opportunity for them to indulge in trivial pursuits. and yet for some people, holidays give them an avenue to vent their frustrations at the happenings of our daily lives, or to embark on an exciting journey of self-discovery. but to all of us, i believe, holidays are a time for relaxation, for enjoyment, for refreshment, so that our once-dead batteries can be fully recharged again. the arrival of holidays means there are merely 47 days left in 2007. these 47 days (not counting today) can be wasted, or they can be put to good use. do we choose to grow in our stature and wisdom and do some things which we have never attempted before in our life? or do we choose to let this golden opportunity bypass us? 47 days. what are we going to do with them??
