Realizations. Purpose. Journey.

Right now I am reading the purpose driven life and I have been thinking of one thing since then. It is not about living for yourself but living according to God's will.

It's so weird when I started reading it I felt goosebumps all over my body and I felt serene. It felt so right reading it this time. Yeah, you read it correctly... reading it this time. This is because there are so many times that I almost buy the book and even borrowed it from my aunt but never really read it. It triggered my headache, promise! So i stop reading it before I complete a whole page. But now, somehow I felt its so right, its so light to read and the good part is there are no headache at all.

I think the main lesson here is "there is always a time for everything". A time to be solemn. A time to be glad. A time to love and a time to heal our hearts. A time to make mistakes and a time to make amends.

I think this is what people need to learn... to take time and smell the roses. Sometimes we are so busy with our lives that we have complicated everything. We are so impatient to what will happen next that we try to fast forward eveything and yet in return we haven't got anything at all but bigger complications.... bigger problems. Then at the end of the day we realize that this is not what we want... this is not what we picture it to be. So we escape, we run and we pretend that we are happy. Then we become hollow... we become stiff... we become not contented... we become purposeless.

I guess what we all want is fulfillment not success nor fame. I guess this is where our journey starts... its in finding our purpose... in finding our truest passion.
