Door of Our Heart

Our heart is like a door, it might sounds a bit odd but I do think that it's kinda true. If after reading this post you wonder how the heck I got this analogy, it's kinda lame but I got it when I was daydreaming and stared at a door for about 20 minutes. Why door? What's up with the door? What's the correlation with our heart? See, there are many ways to deal with a door, and same thing applies to our heart. Don't worry, no violence included, breaking a door which will be equal to breaking a heart doesn't count!

The first way to deal with a door (heart) is to close the door and lock it. This choice sometimes is taken when it comes to something that you can't tolerate, or a choice that is taken when you are so very sure with what you believe in. For example; no sex before marriage, religion, faith, or your commitment to your spouse when you are married. Apart from those examples, this choice is also taken by some non sense racist an stubborn people (no offense to anyone in particular). Those who take this choice really do shut the door and refuse to take any input or advice or possibility to change their mindset, I personally believe that this kind of heart could be open, but it takes a lot of effort to break through it.

The second one is, you close the door and leave it unlock. Normally, people take this option when it comes to something less principal, something you could tolerate, but it's essential in your life. This option is meant to be taken when you have to make a decision that could effect your life, important decision that aren't so fatal but substantial. Once you made the decisions, they are very unlikely to change in a short period of time. Probably like choosing your girlfriend or boyfriend? Or choosing which college degree you are going to do? Should I take the job? Should I resign? It is when you  have a preference or the decision, but you could change your them for a reasonable reason. It is when you tend to close the door, but when the right reason knocks, you'll open up for some changes in life.

The third and last one is you leave it open. I think this one is pretty straight forward, things like hobby, movie to watch, place to visit, book to read, food to eat, and many more. Things in your life, where you open up for suggestions and reviews from different kind of sources.

I believe different people would have different kind of choices and reactions toward random events in their life, and there are so many ways in dealing with one same case in life, therefore I believe, a person could have is more likely to have all of the options above when he/she deals with different kind of things, but it doesn't meant that different people will react in a same way for one same event. Therefore I didn't give many examples up there because it depends on the owner of the door. Personally, I've been through so many things (and will go through more in the future) that made (and will make) me choose what I have to do with my heart, ignore it and continue life as it is? consider my decision again and make some adjustments? or accept the 'new thing' and change my perspective entirely?

Those choices are totally up to you, sometimes it is an easy choice, but most of the times we will find it hard to make a decision, especially for point #1 and #2. Those life changing decisions that you have to make in you life or you're going nowhere from where you stand at the moment. But then again, life has been always about how many risk you are willing to take to move forward.

Therefore....
Stay firm in what you believe in,
Hold on when life gets hard,
Seek more opportunities,
Be smart enough to know the risk,
Be brave enough to take the risk.

Have you ever wondered how it feels like to be able to read someone else's mind? or how it feels like to be able to control someone else's mind? Like the policeman in the Heroes TV Series! It was such a great power! it's like having the world inside your head!

Have you ever wished that you had that mind-controlling power? Have you? I have! There were so many particular times where I wished I was able to read minds or control people's minds. The most popular example was the time where I had to face my Final Exam!! How awesome could it be if I have the power! I'd score A++++++ and get super high distinctions when I graduated. Another example was when we're in a relationship, to be able to figure out what our partner want for their birthday or anniversary, or what were they thinking when they were upset, or whether they're cheating or not, whether this guy has a crush on me or not would be great,wouldn't it? Maybe during the time when we try to find a job, can you imagine how awesome it is to be able to control the employer's mind to hire us? Or to get ourselves a promotion? To be able to sell anything to our clients? And many more!!!!

Are you interested in this kind of power yet? I'm not selling any kind of power though, don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to describe my way of thinking about having this kind of power. It would be freaking awesome right? to be able to control and read other people's minds? I can do, I can have, I can get everything I want! AND that's when it's wrong. See, God didn't give us this kind of power for a reason reasons! Maybe I did  exaggerate about what we could do if we had the power, but have you ever thought about what you wouldn't have if you have the power?

I think, there would be a HUGE trust issue going on when we have the power to read people's minds. Yes, We might know EVERYTHING, but we'll trust no one in the end, is it worth it? Not to mention the probability of you losing trust to your-own-self! Try to picture it with me, We have the power, we use it (of course! why wouldn't you use such great power?) and we got straight As during out university degree, then we got the perfect job we've been dreaming, got promoted and successful, ALL our dreams come true. will you be happy? Yes of course! But will you believe in yourself if you don't have the power anymore? I don't think so. People often say trust is one of the hardest thing to get, but the easiest thing to break. Once you break it, it will never be the same.

Another reason that I could think of is, maybe we don't have the power because God wants us to work hard and put some effort to get what we want so we could appreciate it when we get it! Imagine if we could have and get everything we want as easy as flipping our hand up side down. Will we ever appreciate what we have? Will we ever be grateful and give thanks? I don't think so, people will grow greedier and greedier each day, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing.

Therefore, maybe the whole reason for us to not having this kind of super great and awesome mind-controlling power is that we could believe in ourself and strive our best to achieve what we want! and most importantly to trust in God. I'm not much of a religious person to say this, But you could see how faithful God is! He trusts us more than we trust ourself that He didn't give this kind of power to us, because He knew we can handle our life perfectly, and if we find ourself unable, God is able :) So sweet right? :p

So why don't we be the normal people, and let God be the Superhero?
Cos I find that being the 'victim' and get 'rescued' by the Superhero is more awesome than being the 'Superhero' itself. LOL! I got rescued! Makes me feel so freaking important and precious! Hahahaha!
So all in all, I'd love to have that kind of power (*still! hahaha!), but I love the fact that I could be proud of myself when I really did achieve something from my own hardwork and effort.


Loving my life as it is

Smile

Looking at myself in the mirror
I see a smile that curved beautifully
Wondering where it came from
Wondering how it came by

A smile that has brightened up my day
A smile that sets everything else straight
A smile that makes me better
A smile that warms my heart

A smile that makes me forgot the tears
A smile that makes me forgot the pain
A smile that reminds me of joy
A smile that reminds me of hope

Thank you,

For putting this smile on my face.

xoxo,
Ms. A
