Yes, I know, I have very wrongly neglected my blog over the past few months. And I feel terrible. This used to be my vent, my confidante, my source of support...and it still is, in many ways. I have just been feeling a dire need to reflect off late. To reflect on my own weaknesses and learn from them.
When I look around me, I find much to be thankful for, much to be inspired by. I look at the accepting love of people, I look at their readiness to welcome and embrace people and their ideas, support and be open-minded. I look at the quiet love they shower on their close ones.
And I used to think that I was becoming more mature with the years. But sometimes, when I reflect on my behaviour, I feel that I have miles to go. I think I have been caught up in a web of instant and constant gratification, a possible result of this "smart" digital age...smart phones and the host of networking and connectiing apps...this has possibly led to an erosion of patience on my end. I feel so bad that I can barely wait for text messages, calls and chats anymore...gone for me are the days when a letter a month could bring feelings of elation to a soul. And I will change this. I hope to. I would never wish to inadvertently hurt those who i love.
Besides that, I must focus on my life more deeply. I must balance my work and personal life out. I must be deeply grateful to the Higher Being for ALL the blessings. I must look upon every seeming and apparent obstacle/mistake I make as a blessing. I must learn from all the errors I commit. I must begin looking at things from the perspective of others too. I need to be a better human being with every passing minute.
