Those were the moments of enthusiasm. I can almost remember everything--the feeling of the fun-clearly while standing with a straight face. How interesting it was! I could hardly cope with what today is saying. It's a work day, I recall.
The last holiday was so interesting. I visited a brother of mine and had a lot of fun. I had a nice time because I had adventures, not just the ones that I had when I was travelling for the journey, The long stretch of journey give me an opportunity to consider the beauty of the nature.
How big I discovered that I have missed here on earth.
In the vehicle, I was looking at the rising of the sun when the journey just began.
How beautiful it is to see the sun performing a long travel from the east to the West. Meanwhile, I was on a journey too while. This sun never stops one day and complain of being tired, How come that I never see that as a source of motivation for myself each time I feel like giving up? It was only a thought
I met some new people. I had a few conversations with people that changed the way that I think. That was one the best thing that happened to me that I almost cannot forget. Since I resumed for work, I have always had a new perspective of things. One of the people that I met during the holiday discussed something with me that touched my heart.
He got me to think better, he said there is only one thing that people are looking for in life. Fulfillment cost a lot of people what they already have and they let go of many resources to get fulfillment.
He told me that there are some things that many people struggle to understand in live. Mostly, people cry about lack of money. When they get the money, spend it lavishly and expect another one.
They seek money because of the money, he said. I use to think about money too when I have a little amount in my pocket. I use to think that it is good too have a lot of money.
I use to think that money is everything. He gave me a little advice when he observed my facial expression over a period of time. A stretch of days when I was not having money. That changed my mood totally. He told me that the more I refuse to be happy and smile, the more I chase away happy people.
What a life changing statement, it has changed my life for better. Those words are always resonating in my head. Financially, I don't have enough to spend on everything that I want, but those words have been some kind of motivations for me.
Additionally, I have got some new working experience, and disciplines which makes me to act better and perform better at my place of service.
I now find it easier to get to work early, the fatigue have reduced a lot. I use to complain before that waking up is too difficult but I met people and explain to them. They gave me tips from their experience bank, I applied it and it is working out for me.
Those are the experiences that won't leave me so soon. thank you for reading.
