I used to ponder over the idea of that I'm a little ant and God is a big bully with the magnifying glass trying to burn my feelers off. As I fumble through with black, brittle antennas, Life gave me another chance to live it. Through the intimate guidance of a close mentor/friend, she helped me find my way back into Love...For music and others. Unknowingly, I fell in love with her. But eventually the friendship ended up in flames, burning my soul in the process. But that's a different story that I won't dwell on.
Somehow, I have a knack of finding inspirations in all forms and sizes, spiritually or physically. One of the biggest inspiration is my Elder sister. She is a living example who has gone to hell and back again. Struggling through the work that piles up like a mountain, Trouble has no difficulty finding her, even though she pigeonholed herself most of her time in her own Chamber of Peace. With an abundance of faith in Nichiren Daishonin, she held her own in Barclays'.
No, I'm not preaching about religious statements and prayers. But I'm preaching the practices that are between the paragraphs and lines of scriptures and books.
Life can be anything. It can be living it to the max. It can be just being yourself. Or it can be an epic, episodic autobiography of unless sufferings.
Please note the similar results in all the examples I gave.
Overall, Life is about making a difference in everything that you do. It is a great involvment of yourself, your friends and the entire worldwide community. This leads us to revelation: It is a series of choices. So it depends on YOU, whether you want to make that jump into the pool or exchange football jerseys with one of Liverpool's greatest player.
Instead of telling you how to live your life, I only have one request. You can do whatever you want with your life but live your life with a sense of Gratitude. Be grateful to those who are kind and helpful to you. And always return the favour with sincerity emitting from the bottom of your heart as it is always better to give than to receive.
There's no greater sense of accomplishment than making your community smile with you.
To end off this lengthy post, I want to say that, though I may be not be perfect at showing my gratitude to everyone, but I'm still in the midst of practising it.
So start practising Gratitude to your life and see the great change in your environment!
Cheers =D
