Be Brave To Be Happy

April 25th, 2009 | Insights-past | 21 Comments »

In this life of suffering, I realise that it takes courage to seek happiness. Those who dare to live move ahead in life, blind and deaf to the gossip mongers who are stagnant in their own shit. These daring individuals don’t allow their perception to be clouded by fear and paranoia. And are able to defend their natural rights and say.

One day, I believe, I’ll become brave to be happy. At least, I’m trying hard now to do so. It is times like this when I wished life was easy on me. Ironically, I do not regret my difficulties, because they pave my way to greater successes.

Letting Go Is As Difficult As Easy

April 19th, 2009 | Insights-past | 14 Comments »

There were two monks walking through the forest. When they reached the river, they saw a lady who needed help to cross the river. Having made a vow to chastity that forbade him to touch a woman, the younger monk ignored the woman and crossed the river. The older monk carried the lady across.

This shocked the young monk but he kept quiet. As they continued their journey, the young monk burst out, “Don’t you feel unclean carrying the woman. Did the vow hold no meaning to you!”

The old monk replied this calmly, “Why should I feel unclean? I’ve left the lady by the river. And you are still carrying her.”

The story above depicts a quality I’m in need of. To let go, instead of carrying the burden. To live in the moment instead of worrying and stressing.

Mental Breakdown

April 15th, 2009 | Life | 13 Comments »

I suffered from a mental and emotional breakdown yesterday after work. My entire face was burning hot, whilst I stormed towards the train station. Inside the MRT cabin, my entire body shook with rage.

I contacted my liason officer, who knew I was under a lot of pressure. Without planning it, I could barely talk to her when she answered. I broke down crying. I’m rather thankful for advice.

Having decided to take the day off, I’m rearranging my perspective and strengthening my state of mind. Nearly 2 months have passed, 4 months left.

Audit Internship Stress

April 11th, 2009 | Life | 3 Comments »

I’m waiting for the internship to end. I repeat this line of words to myself everyday.

Anger has not served my purpose. Insanity has nearly wrecked the persona I portray at work. I’m trying hard to be calm. It isn’t easy. I cannot let go of the craziness. I cannot… But I must.
