Who Are You?

It's pretty stressful trying to fit in sometimes. The most stressful part is trying to meet someone else's expectation. Has anyone ever asked themselves one question to break this trend?

Do I have to be someone else they like or be the real me that they don't know? Any answer would be right but it's the way of delivering them makes the difference.

Our brain work naturally with our own current knowledge. People don't change because they want to but it's because they learn and adapt as they grow. Some people try to be cool and some people are naturally cool. There's a big difference between them. Trying to be cool can sometime leave you stuck in some situations but not if you are naturally creative.

I have made my self fit to people by being me. I was called weird and strange. What made me acceptable? Perhaps the way I accepted who I am and I treat people the way I know how made me accepted. I express my self and let people laugh. I am not perfect and I don't intend to be one.

Sometimes, your true color is more important that being someone else. The only thing people care about the most is your hygiene and your attitude. Just crack your shell and be confident. It wont hurt to try.

Where Does Your Family Stand?

I remember when I was younger. Me, my sister and my mom would take a drive every night to enjoy different places in Vancouver. We would stop by at a McDonald's to enjoy the end of the trip. We were satisfied with the life we had.

Everything was lost when me and my sister grew up. My sister is now living with my father and taking all the requirements for her college. I am now working and living on my own.

It's hard to say but we are all too busy trying to achieve something so high. When I say we, it means everyone and not just my family. I remember a simple life as a child and how happy and content I was. Now I feel like I'm trying to chase a goal that seems great but unsatisfying.

I want to be successful but I also want to be to content. Why am I writing this post? This is not to tell you but to remind you that you have a family. Even if my parents are divorced, we are still happy with each other. I used to be consumed by anger towards my father but growing up made me understand his situation and I learned to forgive. I am still blessed with great parents despite of their separation.

What is the difference between contentment and success? How do you value one another? In order to be content, you have to succeed. Not knowing when to be content, is not knowing when you have succeeded. How is family related to this? Because of family, you have great supporters that boosts your limits. You are all there to help one another. In good times and bad, they are there.

True happiness is in harmony with your family. You all share the joy of life and the lessons with it.

Never let your goal cloud your family.

Let It Out

You hold it in like it's yours to burden. You act tough when you're hurt. You smile when you're troubled. Facing problems may seem hard sometimes and we all try to get away but we never reach further away. This world is round and you will always end up where you're from when you run around. Everything stays as time passes by for you to think of every mistakes. Holding a needle in your chest only keeps the pain worse as it stays longer. Cry it out and let someone who cares listen.

Lighten up and move on. Don't drag your self down over an error. Your lack of confidence will drag other people down as much as you drag your self down. Those who love and care for you will be put to a worry where you could have lived a greater life.

We all make mistakes and we are all imperfect. There is no way we can turn back time but we can only try and life a better future. Don't be afraid to face your fears. Don't act tough and do things alone. Never bite off more than you can chew. Never think you are alone. If you're willing to open your self up to others, people will come in and you won't be alone.

Purpose of Life

Many people try to live with their purpose. Sometimes, their purpose is what makes them live. Does mankind's existence have any purpose?

God gave the world and brought life to it. This life is nourished by it's own host. What you provide to your life is what your life becomes. What you do with it is your freedom of will. Your life is a part of the massive existence of the universe and what makes you and individual among many others is your mind.

We are all born, live a childhood life, go to school, get a job, live in old age and return to nature. Is that all? Is there a battle between good and bad? Are we destined to save us or destroy us? We are given life as a gift. We use it to have and enjoy the wonderful things in the world and do what we know is right. We are all sharing this world and we are all a part of one life.

Life is good enough as it is. Extending your goal is searching for purpose. Do you want a better future? Do you want to save mankind? Do you want to rule the world? Do you want to bring order? Do you want to fight a battle that may affect the flow of life eternally? What you wish to do is not the purpose of life. You are permitted to do what you want to do. Be careful as what you do may provide you with a good or bad karma.

Your current existence extends life to another generation. What you do now will have results in the future. Do not serve your life. Let life serve you and you will be satisfied. Your faith God will serve you well to the end.

Between The Line

Peace is not obtained between countries unless they actually work hard to obtain it. 

A good leader does not risk the life of others in terms of obtaining. Must war be done? If you want something, ask for a permission. Learn to negotiate and avoid conflict. 

When one forces it's self through, others tend to send forces as they feel threatened. War becomes unavoidable. When a war breaks in, can you stop it? Maybe yes or no. Send your troops back or negotiate. Not everything is obtainable for free and stealing is not a good way of obtaining. We all feel bad when someone robs our home.

What is it that defines a great country? Everyone wants power, territory, control, and an impossible respect. War is now a symbol for arrogance. A country that only wants to desire will never be fulfilled. They will only lead to nothingness as they ignore all the good things they already have.

Every life is scared. We are all taught different things in our own culture. Respect others and they will respect you. A leader that put it's country first before the people is not a worthy leader. People suffer because of high taxes and bills. The government is rich and have so much funds for war. Must the people work more than 8 hours a day to live and still have debt? The government is nowhere to be found in these situations. A good leader is someone who has gone through hardship. The leaders we have right now are people that have always been rich. They know nothing about hardship. Understanding one another is the only way to build a great nation despite of any hardships. A united nation will stand together till the end.

In this modern world, people takes care of themselves. The government are not governing anymore. They are now working hard to make their land as beautiful as they can without looking at the people. Should we be ready for something?

A country that makes allies will obtain greater resources. Always give something in return to obtain something new. It's the balance of giving one out to have room for a new one. When this cycle is broken, there are those who feel threatened or robbed. This is how rebels and war gets born.

A leader is nothing without it's people and vice versa. The leader is what the people become. If the leader is good then he will produce good people. A bad leader only create it's own enemies within his own nation and other nations. Can you deceive everyone? Your own foolishness will go back down to you. 

In every war, there is no winner. Every death is a loss. Is it sacrifice? Whenever evil is in action, a greater force is out there is formed. They are born for the sake of many others and others follow them. If people have to choose between the good and bad, they will pick the side that will not harm them. They will pick the side that can protect them and they can protect. 

No man is perfect and no man can make a country perfect. Everyone who lives in this world deserves respect.

(Story) To Where You Are

I grew up with my master and he provided me many things. I was just a 4 year old orphan from Thailand when I first met him. I never asked anything but his generosity has kept me strong and happy. We traveled many places together. He taught me how to be happy even if I don't get everything I want. My chores are fun because my master makes them fun. Not once have I been stressed or troubled. For as long as I'm with my master, I am happy.

We were travelling in a forest. The day was great and sunny but it didn't last very long. Dark clouds came and it started pouring. We found a cave for shelter and we had to camp in until the rain stops. For 6 hours, the rain kept going and we needed to find food. My master decided to go outside and search for food. I could not stand to see my master go in the forest alone while I sit back to wait. We could not find any fruit or anything to eat in the forest. When we thought there is nothing to find, we saw fruits and vegetations from the other mountain. The only problem is we have to cross an old looking bridge made out of ropes and planks of woods. Down below is a heavy flowing river. My master went ahead across the bridge and made sure it's safe. I followed him but I stepped on a wrong plank then fell. I was scared and I though i'm going to die. My master was powerless to save me. From there on, I was separated away from my master.

I  woke up in a small house. They say that an old fisherman saw me unconscious on a floating wood by the river. I was still alive so the old man looked for help as fast as he could. I am clueless to where I am. All I know is I'm in a small town and my master is thousand miles away.

I had no money or anything to sell off me. I lived in an abandoned hut and I have to work in order to save money. A kind man let me work in his tea house and kindly gave me free food. I worked for 5 months until I finally have enough money to travel. How will I find my master? Where is he? I didn't know what to do. My master has been travelling all over the world and I am clueless of where his home is.

I know he is Canadian but we have never been in Canada for the past 11 years that we have been traveling. I didn't care about anything and went to Canada. I searched every province and worked part time in many places.  I could not find my master in everywhere I go. I have called every single person with my master's name in the phone book but I was hopeless. I have traveled across Canada and been robbed many times. I've been working and living on the streets. I go to gyms to take showers. I survived every hardship with the hope of seeing my master once more.

After 7 years of searching, I made contact to someone who knew my master. I found out that he was sick. My master has also been searching for me and gone sick after 3 years that I was gone. He has never been strong since then and finally at the age of being weak. I took his address and rushed to him. I made it to his house but I was too late. Outside his room was his family crying. I have feared the worst and he was already dead before I even got to talk to him.

I could not help my self but cry. I felt like a part of me have also died. I felt weak and hopeless. I was about to leave his house and his daughter came to me. She gave me a letter from my master which is specifically for me. In it says "I am happy that you are safe. I'm sorry that I could not find you. Remember to live life to the fullest. Keep smiling and I will live through you. Even if I'm gone, I am happy that you became a part of me."

My master's daughter talked to me and told stories about my master talking about me. She offered me a home and a job to live through. I lived in her basement for 3 years. We became friends until best friends. We were connected by the love we have for her father and my loving master. After 2 years, we were married and had a family.

We now have 2 children. I became my master and taught my children everything my master taught me. Our lives has never been happier.

"...Master, thank you for everything."

Always Get Back Up

In every fall is a loss. Pain is sometimes what makes it worse. How do I right the wrongs? What if it was different? Everything that has happened cannot be changed.  Is suffering enough to make up time? Does every tear fix the pain? Sometimes, your heart cries for you when you can't cry. Deep inside, you feel regrets. Without you, your future is nothing. With you, your future is shaped.


When you drop something on the ground, it stays on the ground. If you pick up what you have dropped, you will  regain what is supposed to be lost. When sorrow takes over for your loss, you have lost what you cherish. If you try to gain back what you have lost, you will end up searching what is lost. When you try to stay still and look at your surroundings, you will see that you have already gained so much. There are much more to obtain by observing than collecting. Notice what's around you and let what  surrounds you notice you. From where you stand still is where your first step to moving on.

How much does it hurt to lose something important? The pain varies depending on how much you value what you have lost. Is it a treasure, your savings or your lover? Listen to your self before you start breaking down. Use this loss as a strength to get back up. Losing something is not the end of everything. It is the new time where you learn to take what you already have and use them. When you are ready, feel free to take what you value the most. How do you know what is valuable? It is what values you.

What values you? These are the simple materials, tools, and people that cares for you and there when you need them. It does not have to be the same as the old one but learning to appreciate what appreciates you will bring you back to the happiness.

When the world tries to be fancy, don't try to be the world. Knowing what's enough is what makes you enough for the world.
