Life Is Short

I woke up this morning feeling quite better. I thanked God for another day of my life and promised myself to have in mind all but beautiful things around me. How could I forget all the wonderful things in my life; my family, my friends, the people around me, my work, my everyday experiences? I told myself that I should welcome new opportunities instead. It surprised me when I saw my recollection notebook where I found a piece of paper we used during that day. We placed a piece of paper at our back and people will start writing their impressions about you. Plus, I saw other set of letters I received that day expressing their sentiments about you. It made me feel good to read their feelings about me. How could I forget those wonderful words I received from them? It was very comforting and encouraging to know that people appreciate you for what you are.

It’s true that we cannot satisfy everybody and some may make you feel cold and senseless but what’s important is the sincerity of our dealings with others. We cannot expect others to treat us the same as we treat them but life is all about doing good with other people no matter how they have hurt you. I know God has placed me in a situation where I could reflect more about myself; how was I during the last 29 years of my life? It’s very heartening that no matter how I feel alone, there is someone UP there who listens and cares so much. I know God wants me to be more trusting and I feel sorry for losing confidence especially when I am hard-pressed with my emotions. I know everyday He is giving me the reason to appreciate LIFE and day after day, He’s giving me the chance to make things better. Everyday offers a new hope and it is up to us how we live our day.
