Last night, I had the last rehearsal before I get to sing for the Christmas choir taking place today at the church I am attending now. You see, I kind of had an epiphany on the way home after I got back from the church. Am I starting to realize we all are just people. Thus, there is no need to feel inferior to anybody else. In fact, those who believe to be better than the rest have not certainly being reminded of their previous mistakes. I must add nonetheless, that some wrongly believe that they can manipulate their next of kin only because their mindset conflicts with their own. To be honest, I do take the aforesaid comment personal. I mean, trying to force someone else to have the same beliefs as you do seems unfair. We live in a society in which families most of the time do not set an appropriate example towards their children. Not to mention that due to technology, nowadays it is a lot harder for new generations to have social interaction. Be that as it may, there are always going to be chances to bond with others. In fact, I for instance feel as I had been deprived of many things during my teenage years. Honestly, sometimes I feel as if the bread had been taken out of my mouth countless times throughout my life. However, there are many decisions I should have thought through before making. Nonetheless, sometimes emotions take the best out of us. Never will I understand why I oftentimes do the things that I do. Such as for example not to force myself to be more friendly towards the people whom I care about and try to keep in touch with them more often. I guess we all get to have second chances in life though. Lately, I have had the opportunity to meet wonderful people who have given me hope to move on. Have I learned the hard way that twiddling your thumbs while waiting for something to happen does not help you whatsoever. Anyhow, so even though this post has been a little bit shorter than former ones, I will say one more thing before I leave: Remember not to be a dog in the manger. If you happen to have a close one who has a talent you do not possess, do not envy them. Instead, do whatever you can to help them so as to make them better people. Who would not want to have either a daughter or a son who have achieved what perhaps you could accomplish by your own means back when you were their age for instance?
Hi Juan, another positive blog. Good. Try to cut out from your mind the past & all the problems this created for you. By constantly looking backwards and blaming people it hinders you looking to your future. If you find this difficult then ask God to help you...He is more than willing.
