An old entry from my Multiply site, but wanted to transfer most of it here. Anyway, will be editing this blog for updates. Enjoy!
As part of my reflection stage, I was able to come up with a motto to live by. I don't want to assume originality. I came up with it by my collective experiences of the world and knowledge from people around me.
Laugh, Learn, Live and Love.
Laugh - It is a very stressful world and we should laugh as much as we can. Laughter makes us feel better and why worry a lot when we have problems? Even if we frown, they will still be there. Might as well Laugh and smile as much as we can. People who do laugh and smile a lot elicits an aura of positivity and others will notice this. We rarely remembers sad memories but we treasure memories of smiles and laughter.
Learn - Learning doesn't stop after graduation. We need to continue learning for this is one of the things that makes living fun. We are now living in the information age and information is vital. Either in our work or personal. Also, with the Internet within our reach, tons of information are available to us to learn. Learning is a wonderful part of living. Like learning a new hobby, learning a new software, learning to drive a car, learning financial analysis. The possibilities are endless, our mind is the only hindrance. The search for a higher self starts from a curious question we have in mind. That quest to be better is not a simple one. Others climb higher in their journey while others don't. At the end of it all, once you took that journey, you will learn more about yourself, life, and what lies ahead.
Live - We are put to earth to for a reason. We don't just wake up, go to work, then go home to sleep just to start the routine again. I was inspired by a saying I forgot how and where I read it. it says "Live, don't just exist". True and there are a lot of things that we can experience in life why limit ourselves? If you wanted to go to vacation then go. if you dream of doing things even there are risk involved, do it as long as you know the consequences. By the way, I do not encourage wrong doings but what I mean by risks are consequences like giving up certain things, getting out of our comfort zone. The world was created with a lot of beautiful things that should be experienced. Don't just dream of the possibilities. Live your life to the fullest. We only live once.
Love - The greatest feeling in the world. People are made to love and all we really need is love. This may sounds like a cliche, but it is actually true. When we are tired, the simple hug from our love ones makes it much better. Many have loved and lost and was now afraid to love again. They shouldn't shut themselves for loving makes us stronger. Just as muscles are flex to grow, and our brain have mental exercises for it to be sharper, our heart needs loving to grow. Part of losing is learning and loving someone teaches us a lot of things. Even when we failed or when we are having a hard time looking for love, don't stop looking. Maybe if we looked a bit further, the love we are looking for will make the search worthwhile.
Just a few description on each part here but I will add more on my future entries. Currently, I am doing my best to adopt this motto and make it my life. I do hope I shared something useful.
