Here I am again, after procrastinating for so long to continue my post.
Well, kind of hesitating on what to write, as the mind and heart is still unclear on the steps to take, even though milestones have been set.
Anyway, what prompt me to continue today is the rain.
It has been so long, since I last run (or rather, walk) in the rain. And it actually felt real good, despite the heavy droplets that hit the face, or the cold wind that blew across the skin.
How often do you get caught in rain nowadays?
Most of the time, either you are stuck in building or sheltered in car. Else, protected by the amazing invention: umbrella!
Of course, most people would rather stay away from rain, as who would like to get drenched and fall sick.
But I guess, once a while, being under the rain is actually quite nice. It kinda helps to wash away some negativity in your thoughts. Talk about mother nature healing method.
We are all caught in a rat race, that sometimes we tend to forget that we need to take ourselves aside, out from it, to heal and recuperate. I doubt we can actually get out from the race.If we can, we most probably will end up being a priest or priestess. So, while we know we will be stuck in the race, why not now and then remind ourselves to take a break. Best if we can define the race ourselves, as everyone should be running a different race, their own race.
So, take a break!
But make it worthwhile, though.

a better you
Have you ever give a thought of wanting to become a better you?
Well, I think I just give it a thought today. A brief one, though. And now I think, I should really put more thoughts on it.
I have first heard of this statement through a drama. Gosh, I must have been watching lots of drama, 'cos most of the things I can recall come from the drama I watched. Thankfully that I only absorb the good things out of them. Can't imagine what would happen if I am not able to differentiate between the good and the bad from the show.
Anyway, this is about the male lead, giving himself one year's time in order to learn more about himself and to become a better person, in order to pursuit the female lead who rejected his earlier proposal. Then off he went travelling with only moderate belongings and monetary.And indeed, this change his perception in life and people, as well as his personality (he's well-known for his bad temper at work and being a perfectionist).
And so I begin to think. Are we so used to our daily lives that we forgot we are only standing at the very same point, when we should be continuously going forward, learning and cultivate a better us? Is it because we are contented in our life or because we simply do not want to venture out of our comfort zone worrying about the unknown. Or is it that we have not met a better person that pull the trigger in us, as we do not have this kind of characteristic in us?
What would you do, if you are given the trigger to become a better you? Would you step out into the unknown, learn and accept the inadequate you? Then takes up the challenge to transform yourself into a better you?

The Four Stages on Life
Came across an article in FB that a friend of mine shared out on - "The Four Stages on Life" by Mark Manson. Simply put, it summarizes our life in four different stages which transcend from one stage to another, while changing our life priorities.
Stage One - Mimicry
Stage Two - Self-discovery
Stage Three - Commitment
Stage Four - Legacy
To read in more detail, you may want to take a peek at the link - https://markmanson.net/four-stages-of-life
While reading it, do think back of which stage you are at now. Life ain't long to be stuck in one stage for too long. It is worthwhile to venture out to other stages and see what really life means.
Sometimes it is hard to judge something as good or bad. Sounds like a weird statement? "Good thing is good, while bad thing is bad", you might say, "what is so hard to differentiate it?"
But do you realized that the thing that you say is good might means bad to the other person. So, what is good and what is bad?
That seems a bit further off from this topic, but while thinking of going through the stages in life, do think also about the value of life, and the value of good and bad.
