Are We Human or Are We Denser?

with 2 comments

It’s a calm Sunday afternoon here in the South, and I am relaxing.. detoxifying, and browsing through the net. I came along this article in StumbleUpon which made me think about my humanness and everything that comes with it.

It just made me feel like being lost(refer to my previous blog) is just normal, and that I should not be scared of losing and/or getting lost.

I know, I know..life is all about taking chances and making risks.. but how do you know if you are being human or not? Find out here..

Ten Rules for Being Human


by Cherie Carter-Scott

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s yours to keep for the entire period.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, “life.”
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately “work.”
4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5. Learning lessons does not end. There’s no part of life that doesn’t contain its lessons. If you’re alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
6. “There” is no better a place than “here.” When your “there” has become a “here”, you will simply obtain another “there” that will again look better than “here.”
7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life’s questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10. You will forget all this.

True enough, right? Everything that happens in your life depends on the decisions you make, on the lessons you learn, and the mistakes you keep on doing. There really is no one to blame, but yourself. No one to depend on but your own capabilities. No one to trust but your own instincts.

Your choices define your future.

As for me, I made the wrong choices, but I choose to make things right from those wrong decisions. At the end of the day, it’s not the things I choose that will define me, but how I worked my way around the path I am in.

Lost?

with 2 comments

I’ve got nothing to lose.

There are a lot of things I don’t understand, a lot of things I’m uncertain of.  I know, things aren’t always what they seem, but I’d rather not look.

Right now, I’m in a place where I don’t know the people around.. I don’t know what street I am in… or whatever my purpose is.. and I don’t know what to do.

Somehow, I still think that I am still fortunate to be in this situation. Other people may be into something worse. I know I am not in the position to question the Supreme One’s purpose for my life…. but I can’t help but ask..

Ask why I have to be here.. why I have to lose and give so much.. why I have to be so clueless of everything. I don’t know.

How do I feel about it?

I still don’t know. I’m lost. I know I should not feel bad about where my life is going because I chose this path.. but this is not how I pictured the road I’m going to take.

Maybe I missed the pavement.. I missed the sidewalk.. I didn’t see the people around that area.. I just saw the road.. and the end of it.

That’s what I get for not planning everything.. not planning everything thoroughly. and it sucks. :(
