Struggle to Survive

          Once in our life, we face situations and obstacles that is hard to overcome. Past paced events that gave us ups and downs in life. Things go tumbling down when least expected. Problems comes after another. Well, that's what we call life. You cannot say you're alive and kicking if you don't feel, experience or encounter any of these problems and hardships in life. You cannot accomplish anything without being frustrated or agitated. But don't worry, everybody do feels the same. We must survive those struggles so can still achieve what we are hoping for and what we are searching for. Of course, life is just like a sphere that always spin. Once you experience sadness, there comes happiness. Once you experience losing someone or something, somebody or something comes to you approximately the same or even more better than the previous ones. This is life. So much to enjoy yet so mysterious. You cannot predict ones fate. You just have to follow the flow of life. Whether it's good or bad, sadness or excitement, failure or success; you must stand and survive. That's the struggles in life. But always remember that everything happens for a reason and with purpose. Sometimes things happens just to teach you a lesson. Until you don't learn those lessons, the same events comes repeatedly until you learned it. So every time you experience happiness or sadness, just cherish it and savor the moment, because what comes after that is the vise versa of whatever happens to you. Well, that's reality. Feeling loved and be loved, hurt and be hurt, lost and lost. Its always a give and take cycle. Enjoy life. Live happily...

Forgotten Happiness

          It was a good day. Weather is fine. The air blows gently and the birds chirp so clearly. As my day starts with this kind of beauty, I’m thinking if my day will be as beautiful as it was before or is there something good that will gonna happen to me. I started wondering if what it is or what will it be. So I started to groom-up and prepare myself going to office. As the time passes by, I'm still thinkin' what this enormous feeling inside me. Different thoughts came up to my mind whether it will be a good news from my boss; win a jackpot on a lottery; getting into a relationship; or maybe just a wonderful feeling. It's already lunch time and still no sign of what would gonna happen. I ate my lunch and go back to work. It is not a busy day, just the same, an ordinary day. No too much work or too much project presentations. It's already 3:00 o'clock in the afternoon and soon my work will be finished. But still, there is no sign of upcoming happiness. More beautiful thoughts came in and out of my mind. I can't even concentrate on my work, even though I need to make my daily report. The working hours ended and I didn’t finish the report that I am supposed to do. So I turned off my computer and prepared myself for going home. I prefer walking instead of riding in a car so I can think about what does this wonderful feeling means. So another idea came to my mind. I thought that maybe I can pick up a big amount of money while walking. But of course I knew it was just a thought. While walking home, I saw the mall where I used to buy my things and stuff. I decided to drop by and go inside to check if there is a big sale or something that would catch my interest. Luckily, it’s the same as my other normal days. Nothing’s new, no good stuff on sale. I left the mall and go home straightly feeling bit disappointed. However, the feeling of happiness inside me remains unchanged… Just a few blocks away and I can already see my little apartment at the corner of the main road. Then finally, I arrived at my house. I anticipated that somebody is waiting for me. But when I open the door, I see nothing. It’s just a ray of light coming from the window. I didn't feel any disappointment or frustration because I know that it was just an idea. I cooked my food and ate dinner. As the night grew older, happy thoughts kept on lingering in my mind. Few minutes before I go to bed, my phone rang. And guess who’s on the phone? Well she is someone very special to me, my future girlfriend (assuming! D). She greeted me a happy birthday! I am surprised. Whew! Now I remember! It is my birthday. After a short conversation with her, she said goodbye and I ended the call. It was very nice talking with her. Maybe, that’s the reason why I had a happy feeling the whole day. It was my special day and yet I didn’t remember it at all. I am so pre occupied of a lot of things. And because of this, I realized that it's better to start your day with a smile and be optimistic. If you’ll do that, for sure your day will be bright and happy. But most importantly, always thank God almighty for giving us new day, new chances and opportunities. Challenges and obstacles might always there too but don’t forget that God is with you. And with him, no matter how hard life would be, if you put all your trust in HIM, you can surpass and succeed in all your endeavors. Live life to the fullest... A forgotten happiness...
