Sometimes, we come to a point in our lives when we ask ourselves, “Where do we go from here?” or maybe something like, “What do I really want to do with my life?” I just watched the movie “The Bucket List” a while ago for the second time, and again, I was faced with similar questions. Let me add this one though, “Are you really making the most out of your life or are you contented with merely existing?” I tried to rack my brains and really determine what it is that I want in life. I can only come up with one thing bright and clear. I want to travel. I want to get out and explore the world out there.

Sounds normal, right? But for me, it’s kind of leaning more towards wishful thinking. We all know that traveling entails huge amounts of money. And with the income I have, it’s just not enough. But as always, positive thinking is best right? It’s the secret to life. If you think something is true, it’s going to manifest in your life. Well, it doesn’t hurt to try.

Try listing down the things you want to do. You can create your own Bucket List and try to live your life differently. Do something random or crazy once in a while. Life should be fun, not boring. Try something new everyday, or every week! We all need to stop for a few moments and re-evaluate our lives. After all, we never know when we’re going to kick the bucket, right? So live it up!

Sometimes, when people decide to leave you for good, you have to let them. No matter how much you don’t want them to. There are some things that are far beyond our control and even if you have the strength to fight for them, you have to accept the cold, harsh truth… THAT THE PEOPLE YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT, CAN LIVE WITHOUT YOU.

Creed of Life: “Let your love be stronger than your hate and anger. Learn the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend a little than to break.”

Your life is a reflection of your thoughts. If you change your thinking, you change your life. Accept that you are where you are, and you are what you are because of yourself. If you don’t like it, change it!

Things may go wrong, but life must go on. Tears may run dry, but smiles must be given. And every time you fall, you should always rise… coz this is how God teaches us to be strong.

Life has uncertainties. We don’t know when our time on earth is up ’till it’s over. So take many pictures, laugh much, have a long walk with someone, take time to look up at the stars, eat well, sing your praises, feel the wind, smile a lot and love… because every 60 seconds you spend is a minute of happiness you can never get back.

Even if love is full of thorns, embrace it. For between those “THORNS” there’s a “ROSE” that’s worth all the pain.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. What you really need to do is to find one good reason why it will.

It is always a risk to like someone. It involves time, patience, and understanding to get someone’s heart to open up. At times, it will work. Other times, it won’t. But that’s why you call it a risk - you invest in something and there’s a possibility you won’t win. However, you still get something in return: strength of heart and mind, and the assurance that you won’t have any regrets from not trying.

Three Simple Rules:

1. If you do not go after what you want, you’ll NEVER have it;
2. If you do no ASK, the answer will always be a “NO”;
3. If you do not STEP FORWARD, you’ll always be in the SAME place.

Learn to take risks. And see where your brave heart can take you!
