How do I live my life? Do I live just for the sake of living? I found myself asking those questions today. So many of us do things without even thinking how it will affect our lives in the long run. Some just live without caring what will happen the next day. Still some live just for the sake of living.
Yesterday, I was really in a sour mood when I woke up. I basically woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I didn't know why at first. Then I remember saying how I hated that day. That's when it all started - one single negative thought became the breeding ground of more negative thoughts all throughout the day. All I saw were the things that I had to do. I was a mess - mentally. And the worst thing was, I hardly had anything done when the day was over. Thinking about it now, I feel sorry for my husband. But at the same time i'm also thankful 'coz everytime I think negatively he always comes back countering my pessimism with his optimistic aura. My husband is probably the most optimistic person I have ever known. I'm not saying that he doesn't get upset about things but 99.9% of the time, he handles it way better than I do...and way better than I ever can! And the thing is, he's way busier a person than I am! Now i'm ashamed of myself...
Do you know what INSANITY means? According to the dictionary, it means "extreme foolishness". But as J* puts it, insanity is "doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results". It's like banging your head on the wall thinking that it's not going to hurt. Crazy, isn't it? That's actually me sometimes. But I try not to be like that as much as I could. I always try to be productive. I set my goals. To me, there's always a time for everything. But I also know that I have to be flexible as well, otherwise, I will falter.
Life is not just about making money or having everything you want. It's about relationship - with God, family, friends, neighbors...and even with people we don't know. We only have one life to live...and it's up to us to "live" it the way we should. After all, it's not the years in our life that count. It's the life in our years.
