JEM


Sunday, October 02, 2005

seems to me that some people let anxiety take over their lives.
it's fine to analyze and think about certain situations or issues, but you gotta be firm with yourself at the end of the day, and not let your thoughts run away with you.

you control your state of mind not the other way round, through sheer willpower and faith.

that's how othello met his downfall remember? iago successfully played with his mind and he fell into his trap nice and easy.
and jealousy is really a monster that can eat away at you.

but look, the ending concluded with everyone getting hurt.

isnt there an important lesson to be learnt there?

it's not essential to know what you want in life, because pondering over that can lead to personal conflicts that are difficult to resolve.
but you have to be certain about certain aspects, about particular directions you may be heading.

you might choose this road for example, with all the determination of crossing the big boulders. but we tend to forget about the little cruel pebbles too.
or what about those who stand at the side coaxing you to somewhere else.
do you really have the strength to fight all that?

there are moments where we 'll tend to fall into the abyss of self depletion. you begin to wonder where you can search for hope when it feels like there's nothing else left to give?

well, maybe some of us look to hard. and maybe we're all chasing after the wrong things.
there are definitely times where we want a certain possession of something, thinking it may fulfill a need in you whether materialistically or otherwise, only to gain it and realise that it served only temporary purpose, and it let you down? your bubble bursts.

but that's what many of us seem to be doing. we're chasing bubbles.
and we get soaked in its aftermath.

so what happens next?

well, personally i turn to prayer. and let its soothing and calming effects take hold.
it's simply to put things into perspective, no burden is too heavy if you learn how to let go of baggage.

have you forgotton the power of prayer?
