I have been worrying since monday. I guess this is the start of my non-stop-thinking days. I worry about my memo, my arguments, the fact that I chose the defendant’s side, my legal opinion, my pre-nuptial agreement, the fact that I discussed something that was not asked, my grammar (I did not have the chance to check because of time constraint), my sentence construction and so on…
I am a self-confessed worrier. I can’t help it. I always try to be positive but I think I always fail to do so. I don’t know how I manage to be sane despite this pessimistic attitude.
I don’t want to be like this forever. I want to change. I want to be optimistic for the rest of my life without sacrificing humility.
I have so many thoughts going on inside my head. I have been thinking a lot since the last day. Until I attended mass this afternoon. The gospel was about the blind people that Jesus healed. Jesus asked them if they believe that they will be cured. They said YES without hesitation.
I was awaken by this gospel. Is it a sign? A sign that all I need is FAITH? Where is my faith? How strong is my faith in him? Is it the only thing that I need, to BELIEVE?
I just realized that I don’t have faith even that of a size of a mustard seed. I am ashamed of myself because I have been praying for this since the beginning but still, I lack faith.
Forgive me Lord for being like this. I am ashamed of myself. Please let me heel. Let me recover my faith. I know that you only want what is best for me. Please don’t punish me for being like this. I am truly sorry.
It has ended. Another phase will begin.
Life can make choices for us. Sometimes these choices Seem unfair And make us unhappy if we let them. But in the end we control our own destiny Because we can decide how we are going to allow People or events to affect us. So much of our happiness, and unhappiness, Lies within the choices we make. We can accept that life isn’t the way we want it to be, Or we can work to change it so it will be. We can walk through the shadows, Or we can choose to smile And to seek out the sunlight. We can create grand dreams That never leave the ground, Or we can be builders of dreams that that touch the sky. We can look at only The negative aspects of ourselves, Or we can lift ourselves up By being our own best friend. We can live in the past Or dream about the future, Or we can live for today. We can give up when the road becomes difficult, Or we can keep on going Until the view is much better. The choices in life are endless, And so is the potential for happiness…….

but rather for my life to interpret my dreams. ” Susan Sontag
never surrender your dreams.
Constantly work towards your goals.
Believe in yourself, and always be truthful.
Take time to enjoy life’s pleasures.
Keep your mind open to new experiences.
Think before acting,
but don’t forget the joys of spontaneity.
Make your own decisions.
Look out for yourself, but remember
that you share this universe with others.
Look for the good in others,
everybody has their own song to sing.
Live each moment to the fullest,
for a moment too soon becomes a memory.
Look for opportunities, not guarantees.
Hope for the best.
Give people a chance to love you,
for that is how you learn to love.
Live your life for yourself,
but always be considerate of others.
Believe in tomorrow, for it holds the key
to your dreams.
Always remember, you have within you
the strength, the patience, and the passion to
reach for the stars to change the world.
