the mysteries of life..

• The mysteries of life.. People go around looking and finding, wanting to know the mysteries of life.. But in actual fact, the mysteries of life is life itself.. Life holds many unexpected surprises for us.. Some pleasant, and some not so pleasant.. Life may make you smile at one moment, then reduces you to tears the next.. Then, life sents important people to you.. And just when you're comfortable, life yanks the person away from you.. You'd be a fool if you don't realise all these, but you'll be an even bigger fool if you think you can run from what life has to throw at you..

• Many might not realise it, but life is no joke.. Life itself is a precious gift from God, a blessing.. Whether the blessing is in disguise or not, it does not matter.. Life might not always go your way, and life makes you cry a lot, but life teaches you valuable lessons, lessons that cannot be learnt anywhere else.. Each day of your life has something to offer you, if you would just open your eyes, reach out and grab it.. Life offers you the opportunity, you have to do something about it..

• Mny things in life seem to be just to drive you to the edge.. But look at the whole picture.. If life were good and happy always, would you even know the meaning of happiness? Sooner or later, you'll be just an empty vessel, because life would be redundant.. When life throws challenges at you, don't you think you become tougher? You might not realise it, but trust me, you DO become stronger inside.. The next time the same challenge hits you, you'll know what to do..

• Another example, perhaps one that really applies to many people put there.. When life takes away someone who really matters to you.. Either through death, separation of continents, or through the change of those someones.. Firstly, it's to toughen you up.. Secondly, it's to make you fully realise what you had.. Thirdly, it's so that someone new can come into your life.. You'll miss those someones a lot, but holding on will prove futile.. The reason life takes them away is because they have done what life wanted them to do in your life.. And so they leave because their jobs are done..

• You have to let them go, because you need to embrace the next phase of your life without them.. You need to take whatever they might have taught you, and put it to good use.. Keep the fond memories, and the important teachings.. But let those someones go.. When they get off the train of your life, it's cuz they have other trains to be on.. You cant get on their trains anymore, your destinations differ.. So let go.. Remember them, miss them, cry if you have to.. But after that, let go, move on.. Life brings you its next gift..

And now I am finally in tears..
