Ponder

Selamat petang!

It's a holiday today because of Hari Raya and I am sitting in the hall and I realize that I've grown side ways. Nah, just kidding (Okay, maybe a little). I've grown more as a person. Especially this year. Realizing so many things the past couple of months made me feel accomplished for some reason. It's not anything big to begin with but just small little things that made a big impact in my life.

The past couple of months, I've learnt to love myself more. I never use to love being alone. I don't like eating alone or going anywhere on my own. I never understood how some people could actually just sit all by themselves in a shop and eat or go out on their own or travel alone and doing anything alone.

The past couple of months, I felt like going out on my own. Having some alone time. I actually did it and it felt good. I realize that being able to go out on your own, eating alone and what not means that I am comfortable with who I am. It also gives me time to relax and ponder about life. What are my goals? Where am I in this stage of my life? What have I done so far? Or just even having time to journal which in turn helps me gather my thoughts and knowing how blessed I am.

Another thing that I feel so accomplished about is the fact that I finally love reading! About 2 weeks ago, I decided to pick up a book and read. Guess what? I love it! I never loved reading. I never knew why. Glad I found out that I actually do love reading. It is amazing how God created us in such a way that we can imagine things. Our brains are just so AMAZING! I can't even begin to explain how amazing it is. I am even more speechless if you ask me to explain how amazing God is. He is the creator! Not the created. Enough said.

As I journey on year 2014, I am excited to see what else God has in store for me. Life is fleeting. You just never know when your time is coming. Live your life in a way that you know you will never regret anything if you were to be gone the next second.  Chase after things that last even when the world ends. What sort of legacy would you leave behind?

Another off day tomorrow! I am blessed! What shall I do tomorrow? I think I need some exercise. It has been way too long since the last I exercised! First take care of yourself before even thinking of taking care of anybody else.

Cheers!
