I miss that satisfactory feeling I get when I did something really really awesome with my real hardwork.
For the past 55 weeks, all I managed to achieve was sloppy work.
I kept catching up and rushing on last minute work and revision.
And all this catching and running away from things made me angry of myself more.

Taking all this within my stride, I really gain a lot as a person.
Like I said, it has been a good lesson.

remember remember remember this -

“It’s not whether we can, it’s whether we want to.”

I will like to share 3 quotes.
3 quotes that will see me through this period.

Decision

“In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing. The next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worse thing you can do is nothing.”

Love

“If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.”

Past

“Few of us ever livein the present, we are forever anticipating what is to come or remembering what has gone.”

Amin.

All these questions, I cannot answer them now.

Many things have happnened.
The good things that I wish to relive again.
The bad things that I wish I could undo.
Overall I am thankful for everything.
It made me who I am today.

For the past months have been depressed.
I have been living with expectations that I have put myself into.
And now I understand the difference between expectations and goals.

Expectation is something that I wish to see in myself with relating to my past and setbacks.
Whenever I met setbacks, I would pick myself up and move on and work even extra harder so that I will achieve whatever I have expected of myself.
And in the midst of that, I have put a lot of pressure on myself and the people around me.
However, Goal is something I would work on without any past regards to it, and I do it because I want to achieve my goal.

If I keep living with expectation I will never be satisfied
because I know that whatever I am working on is not what I want, but what I have expected of myself.
I know now that I want to achieve is my Goals and not expectations.

“To be the best; the best that I can be.”

“Trying doesn’t mean anything if you failed” – Green Hornet
I am still trying.
Sometimes I feel that I am holding back.
I held back the words I wanted to say.
The feelings I wanted to express.
And the actions that I wanted to do.
I kept holding back at these things.
Hmmm, maybe like what Nelson would say – “Lets nature take its course”
And don’t stress myself too much.

I do not know how hard it will get from here.
I do not know if everything shall go as planned.
I do not know if I get to live everyday.
And I do not know if this is best for me.

But I know that it will get very hectic.
I know that there will be a lot of stress.
I know that there will be a lot of tears.
And I know that I want to do this.

Amin.

And there I was complaining every little thing about
how tired I was.
how the sun was going to kill me.
and how I had to drag my legs across the highway.

I cried because for that moment I could feel their pain and suffering.
And I am grateful for that moment.
After conquering 42km, I feel that if I persevere harder and stronger
there is nothing in this world that I cannot change for the better.
Remember that – “God is with those who persevere.” – Quran quotes (c. 651 AD)
