Every Night

Have you ever had such a great idea, a thought maybe. Something that you might consider a paradigm shifter or worth saving for later consideration or reviewing… and you get this thought just RIGHT before you sleep, you keep tossing and turning in your bed, thinking about it, modifying it, and improving it, and you consider how great it would be to share it, to let people know something that may help them in their own life, and as you are about to do so, you simply fall asleep.

You wake up the following morning feeling refreshed and ready to continue your day, you may have a faint idea about a memory maybe of a thought that you have had last night, not quite sure what it was about, you may try hard to remember it, but the harder you try the harder it gets to remember. Sometimes, you wake up not remembering at all that there has been an idea or a thought. 

On Daily Basis

Some think, to know they are alive, to create, to believe; to achieve. Some are pure; some are infected; some are lost; some are wasted. Some think straight; and some don't at all.

Some think about the problem; some try to figure it out; some sink in it; some about a way out. Some about what could have been; “where did it go wrong"; "What can I do"; some think about the solution

Some think about precautions; consequences; some about the outcome. Some about the truth; the lie within.

Some think happy thoughts; sad ones; fast ones; incomplete; incorrect...etc.

Some think about the future; while others are still caught in their past. Some think about their dreams, the chances. Some think about the beginning; some of the end; in the distance between this and that.

Some think about visions, missions, projects, inventions, creations, discoveries, cures, still some think destruction; invasion; taking over; conquering.

Some think about their families, friends; work, personal progress; helping others; entities.

Some think about how wonderful this book is; how amazing a song is; how great or bad a movie is; how a play was well played; how a painting was portrayed.

Back to the beginning; some think; and some don’t think at all.

A Passing Thought in a Non-Passing Time

Sometimes it gets hard to understand why we get things wrong in life, why we fail to recognise a repeating pattern. 

Sometimes we wish for something so much, that the need for it to become true can blind us to obvious facts. 

Sometimes we think we can survive just by wishful thinking, so naive!!!

Sometimes we want to believe that things would change just to suit our dreams and our hopes for what we see as a better future, or a future version of ourselves, how pathetic!!!!

Sometimes we just forget that though we are the centre of our own universe, we are not the centre of anyone else's!!!

And also sometimes we tend to forget that there are things that are completely and totally out of our hands, and though we might be in control of our life, we can't control others'.

Sometimes we necessarily forget that in order to move forward in our life we need to be a bit selfish and consider our needs instead of our wants, and qt the same time we need to be considerate to those around us who make our life easier and so should we be toward them :)

A Turkish Lesson

The ess and the zee and the one letter in-between. As simple as it may sound, but a simple letter between the 's' and the 'z' can cause a flip in the meaning of the word coming before it.

How could it be, that a 3 lettered extension, which is not even a complete word can cause so much confusion, can mean the opposite of what one might have to say, it is like one letter it is there, then 3 letters afterward it is absolutely gone!!! Strange, isn't it? Maybe even absurd!!

But strange as it is, this sometimes stands for life in practice; one moment you are offered something, then the minute you hesitate it is not just gone, but someone else made the best off of it, maybe even exploit the chance to something you never imagined. 

Not possible you might say, but this is a truth I might say; life may offer you more than a chance (Maybe, Could be, Might be, Possibly…), but keep in your mind, that no chance is like the other, and no chance is supposed to help you JUST use what you already have and what you already know. Every chance will be about raising the standards, YOUR standards and allowing you (if you nicely let it) to develop yourself for a future version of yourself, for a different version of yourself.

LOOK !!!

Hey look at that.

Did you see that?

Let’s concentrate on that.

This is what matters.

All those lines usually tends to redirect our attention to a certain position or a certain one, usually they are the pointed at. Which we tend to focus on and consider every aspect and position and possible outcome of the pointed at.

JUST A SECOND.

Let's consider the pointer, who is he? Why is he pointing at that in specifically? Why did he choose that timing? Why did he choose this method to point?

Seems a bit paranoid? Well we need to know why this person is presenting the other side the way they are, do they get a benefit from doing so? Are they after something else? Are they distracting us? Are they clouding our opinion? Are they trying intentionally to mislead us, or they are doing it without noticing? Are they being direct by others?

All these questions should rise, right next to what is being pointed at

It's Obvious

When the milk is spilt we shouldn't spend a lot of time crying over it, actually we shouldn't spend anytime at all crying over it, as it wouldn't change anything about the fact that it's already spilt. But we can do, is to avoid giving the milk to the person who spilt it if it wasn't his first time to act recklessly and irresponsibly. Instead we should find a person more qualified to deliver the items without causing loss and destruction.

Ya, I’m not talking about the milk anymore.

Life in Retrospect

Have you ever thought about the past? Thought about what could have been done to change the outcome that you currently are dissatisfied with? Have you looked at your decisions in retrospect? And been so judgmental that you thought you will lose your mind?

Haven’t we all felt guilty at a certain point in our lives where we wished not for a second chance, but for a do-over, where we will be positive of the correct choice that we should go with?

But why regret the things that happened to us? Why feel sorry for ourselves about the things we "think" we can change? Who said we could change the past? A time machine is not an option, and beating yourself up will only hold you back.

We have to accept the events of the past and deal with them as FACTS because they are non-changeable. And there were no way we would have avoided them in the past. But sure as hell we can benefit from their impact for a better future.

A Semi Daily Scenery

On my way home, I was anxious to see the nothing that was left there, but unfortunately for me as we got there, I saw the little pieces of the glass that were scattered on the road. They took me back 14 hours earlier. When I saw the crowd that moved really slowly, and I was very irritated from how people like to watch and meddle into things that they shouldn't meddle in, how they banally and superficially are seeing and commenting on a certain event. An event that took place semi daily and in the same place, mostly caused by the same reason, different people committing the same mistake day in and day out. What irritated me most is that their focus made me wanna too know what has taken place and while moving forward, I’ve been stealing glances trying to guess at which side did the event take place; will it be on my right, or on my left? Though I had a lot on my mind I kept peaking from laptop, as I was trying to finish some irrelative work.

Slowly and inch by inch, we got there, and to my surprise it was on both sides, and as we made our way through, moving like we were walking on egg shells, I noticed the newspaper pages arranged in a longitudinal way covering up half the car from the inside. And as we passed I had one question in mind, why didn't they use the prayer mat that was at the end of the car

Already Given

have you ever believed that you were given everything that you might need in your life to help you through the good times and the hard ones. things that would help you become who you are supposed to be, things that drive you to move forward in your life.

You know it, and you're 100 % sure of it, and when the time comes for you to prove the use of the things you've been given, you suddenly freeze and tend to act like you don't know anything, and then when you chill you start asking yourself, why aren't you using the knowledge that you know, the experiences that you've witnessed before, the know how.

Maybe it's because you aren't ready to accept your knowledge, maybe because you don't actually know how to use this knowledge, maybe you , maybe you, maybe you…… YOU

Stairs

Have you ever been walking up stairs? Jogging of running?

Doesn't the type of stairs make a difference? Steep steps, or narrow steps?

Where do you look, down your feet or up above your head?

Do you watch out for the people that you might be stepping on, or do you only have in mind that you need not to fall?

Well what I’ve noticed from the many stairs I’ve kept climbing, that moving up and down the stairs is pretty much similar to living life, 

As long as there's up, there will be down, 

You have to work hard at the beginning to rest on your way down.

While moving between the crowds, you need to watch your steps, not because you might stubble and fall, but also because you may step on someone who was sitting, or someone who's not moving with the same pace.

Along to looking at your feet, you also have to keep upper head up high, and be able to see when the steps are gonna end, and when you'll reach your destination.

When your moving down, careful that your hurry might make you slip, and take all the steps sliding, and you'll end up hurting yourself and maybe others.

So remember 

it is an up and down process, 

be ware where you place your feet, 

and never lose sight of the end. 

Some steps are easy, others are breath taking and heart burning. 

But in the end you'll get there. 

So welcome 

Questioning Givens

Have you every been sympathising with a person who's talking to you, have you putting yourself in their shoes and trying to tell them what they should do in a particular situation that they have found themselves stuck in.

you take every information they tell you as a given and start thinking what would you do. you believe everything they say and so you start working on a solution.

Have you tried to back up a little, and to see what if the picture they are drawing is not completely true, and that the situations that they are describing is not totally the way they make you believe it is.

Would you question the givens of a hurting person? would you try to trace the truth even if it may seem to hurt them more?

During Sickness

Sometimes during sickness, we say that the pain has made us say things that we don’t usually say, only because we end up hurting those who care about us and all they were trying to do and wanted to do is to give a helping hand.

I don’t think the people who are offered the help are in anyway ungrateful, they are good people, that’s why there are people who want to be present and help them during their sickness.

But what is happening is, those who want to help are not helping in what we need help in. confused yet? Let me clarify:

You see a sick person, what you see is someone who needs to be healed.

I am THE sick person, what I need is to face my sickness and prove that I am stronger, healing it is not the first priority, my first priority is proving that during sickness I can function. And during sickness I can’t just try to be the best, but I can be the best I can, and see that even sickness can’t affect me negatively. This is how I will heal.

So if you understand this, then maybe you can help, by helping the not feeling so great person into beating their sickness. Coming out of it as strong as they can be, and not just needing time to regain their health after their sickness.
