Fertilizers for Motivation

Never let people define who you are. Or tell you what you should be doing or your goals in life. You are you. You create your own dreams and chase them because dreams can be a reality. 

 

Comparing is a disease of the mind. Don't compare yourself to anyone. Just carry on at your own pace

You don't need attention and compliments to feel good about yourself. Being confident can make you happier. Happiness starts with you. 

Only focus on your goals. Don't be distracted by others. The only way to succeed is to focus on yourself and what is best for you.

Be kind. Be nice. Think good of others.

It makes a difference,

a good one.

Thank you for being attentive

" An attentive mind is never deceived"

Writing 2 days late because it was Syawal and Syawal means Raya, thus I was busy will all the visits and not to mention, UPCOMING EXAMS!!


So, Raya is all about visiting and asking for updates, "What are you doing now?" "How is school?" "When are you graduating?" "When are you getting married?" "Where are you working now?" and so on... But this year's Raya, there is one very common question, that is, "Is everything okay at home?" and some other personal questions that they were suspicious of. I just want to say...


Thank you for being attentive. Thank you for being attentive when we didn't ask for the attention. Thank you for knowing something was wrong when we did not say a word about it. Thank you for coming forward to us to ask about it because you cared. Thank you for being so sensitive in everything even though you did not know the whole story. Thank you for giving us so much empathy.

Thank you, neighbours and distant relatives who knew, who asked, who reacted the way it should be.


What makes me feel blessed was the way they reacted. I'm not sure its because they are all adults but they were so empathetic to the point where we all felt comfortable and to the point where we were all not so sad and worried about it that much anymore. It felt so different when I told some friends, who are around my age, about it. These adults knew how hard it could have been and they showed sensitivity, from their actions to their words. They tried not to trigger anything as much as possible and they tried to understand.


They made me realise that it was okay to NOT be okay. They didn't take it to heart when we acted differently because they tried to think positive and asked us in a peaceful manner personally instead of jumping to conclusion on how "DIFFERENT" our attitudes were towards them. They sense something was amiss and asked us to clarify what they doubted. They even apologise for not being there earlier. (CRIES, SOOOO SOOO SWEET OF THEM!!) And they showed me that, THAT WAS MATURITY.

The maturity of thinking first before acting. The maturity of not assuming and making a big fuss. The maturity of acting appropriately.


I learnt that as you get older, you learn how to observe those people who were still in their childish state of mind VS those people who were really matured. Those who have seen and heard so much till they point they learnt and they knew what to do, what to react and what to say, everything at the right time. And if you want to be a wise person, mingle with those people who are mature and wise because if you are stuck with a group of people who are still stuck in their childhood and teenage fantasies, it will be very hard for you to grow.


I hope that people realise that at some point of time in your life, you need to GROW UP and start seeing things in a different point of view. I pray that everyone will meet those wise people in their life to make them realise that there is a certain way of acting maturely. ♥
