Recently I have been thinking too much of what going to be happen in the future. I am always afraid of obstacles. I am not somekind of pessimistic but I am tend to worry over problems that might be happen in the future.
I think, I inherit this 'over thinking' brain from my dad. He always worrying about things, about money and so on. And most of the time, it will be about money. I grew up as a woman who thought that money is the root of everything. Money can't buy happiness but without money, you'll gonna feel like dying. :/
My friend used to ask me about things I fear the most. And my answer was like, "Having no job. Not well-established and cannot afford myself and my family. I have a lot of bills to be paid. Now and forever." Sounds like bluffing but this is the truth. I have to pay my educational loan, my dad's car loan and soon might be having to pay my own house. My youngest twin brothers will further their study soon and I guess, they will also use a lot of money. Damn. I cannot imagine how struggle I will be, sooner. I am trying to convince myself that, God will make a way, when it seems to be no way.
Back to my prior intention to write this post.
I sometimes did a post mortem about myself and my stupid expenses every month. When I knew some people who make lesser income than me every month but still have the courage to work and to struggle, then I have no excuses for myself. I am unmarried, young but already made some good amount of money( for my level) but rarely being grateful of what I already have. I have to remind myself everyday to cherish every blessings, before it's gone.
After spending my whole day in office, thinking about life, I started to decide to get involve in charity and volunteering activities, especially for humanity and for the needy.I did sign up for some volunteering causes but if I was unable to attend myself, I will prefer to just donating some amount of money.
I was always thinking what is the main purpose I'm living everyday.
Then I choose to answer my question back, as simple as I can;
First, because God don't want me to die yet. There's a plenty of oxygen all around me for me to breath and living.
Second to realise that, life is real. No matter how life's gonna treat me, I have to continue living, either I was ready or not.
Third, I live in order for my own pleasure. And to realize that not everything is possible in this world. Sometimes it might going to be happen but not as soon as possible... but someday. Like, I was thinking of driving a Maserati today but I can't get it tomorrow or next week but maybe 20 years later I will. Kidding. I don't want to invest money for luxury car. :D
And the last one, I was living in order to learn on how to be grateful. To start appreciating every blessings I have, big or small. I might not well established, but I have to be grateful that God sent a good man for me to support me.
After my family, I always wish that somehow I can contribute to the world. For the needy people. For humanity. Then I decided to start donating for charity and for church at least one in a month. ^_^
My next life goal is to share what I have with those who need it. At least I did something good for myself and for those who need it.
I decided to give not because I am rich.
But because I knew how does it feel, when you have nothing.
God bless,
