WARNING: Might b a fairly long post. so.. Ignore it if u must.
Let's see what inspiration i've got today.. hah.. im thinking deeper than usual. Thats unusual.

now, What do we want in life? a successful career? more money? so... we equate a sucessful career to MORE money. but what do we want the money for? ever thought bout that? If the "more" money's for a luxurious (Unknown) Future, then id say, forget it.

there are 3 kind of rich ppl, those who are born rich, n those who marry the rich. Third kind being the minority. Those who work to be rich. Since the oldest of the oldie old times, $$ is a medium for trade. Trade of?? necessities! bingo. food, shelter, warmth, basically everything that's in the first n prolly 2nd tier of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. If Our survival's guarenteed with that minimal amout of $$, why do we want MORE of it? Greed? Luxury? Self actualization? Bring it to your grave if u must.

In life there're prolly things that are more important that $$, Making money, and the Process of making money. there's health, Family, friends, basically, your loved ones. or even yourself. Work for the things/people that are important to you.. dont work for money. If you work FOR money.. Money gained has no value. It'll simply be digits in the ever gloomy bank account.

For those who are deeply distressed with their job, and those who havent found a job, take a breather, and think why you need that hell lot of money for? doubt u'd even know how much u wana make. $1million? 2? 10? 100? one wld prolly say, as much as possible. and exactly how MUCH is MUCH? So, just sit back, and think.. appart from $$ and the ways to get it, what's important to you? has there been something you've neglected in ur single minded persuit of getting a job/making money/studying. if you have. its time to appreciate the little things that happen to you. be it Your other 1/2 doing something sweet out of the blue, not getting caught in the rain, an extra hour of sleep. Catching the bus u thought u'd miss, a pretty top thats on sale, not getting a summon ticket, or even, eating your mum's gr8 cooking.

Ever felt that life's in the pits? Not that i am now. I thought i was. But come to think of it. it aint that bad. When i'm down. Appart frm thinking bout the Reason why i'm down. i write it out, List em down... after doin so, i'd realize that things aint that bad for me after all. Maybe it's called positive thinking???? or?? Something which i've unconditionally adapted to since a long time ago. I feel upset more often than others, but i'd recover much faster than they do. I'm a sensitive thing.. just like most FE-male are. perhaps even MORE sensitive. just that i try hard to conceal it.

A friend told me that i shld think positive more often. I DO think positive. it just takes sometime to digest the "positivity". No point telling yourself to do so, when your mind aint acting so. The thing bout feeling low n upset is, no matter how bad things are, it'll all be over somehow or other. When you think things aint gonna work out, it somehow will. dont ask how. i just know it will. sooner or later. If good things dont work out, den bad things simply come to an end. =)

Know where your happiness lie. Not the superficial ones that disappear with a twinkling of an eye.. butthe deep ones that leave long satisfaction and make you truly happy.

be it $$ and it's sorts, studies and it's bore, career and its stress, or love and it's triangles, Discover your own way to happiness. REAL happiness. Feelings that evolk emotions so deep, you know u'd b satisfied even w/o your most materialistic needs.

i'm in the process of discovering my happiness.. slowly not surely.. Hope anyone readin tis wld discover theirs too.. somehow.
