A New Year
It's strange, isn't it? Knowing that a year has gone by just like that. Knowing that now, you're right smack at the starting point of yet another year. You wonder about how time just went by like that, in a blink of an eye. And you wonder if this year will go by just as quickly as the year before. You think about how you're going to be a year older and maybe even a year wiser!
I did a bit of reflection today and some reading as well:
And it just hit me that perhaps, it's really not that hard to be a happy person, is it? That I've really been looking for happiness in the wrong places. That really, all it takes is to make one choice; a lifestyle choice. There are 2 ways you can live. So what will it be?
And it also hit me that perhaps, it was probably because I tried so hard to be happy, that I ended up even more miserable than ever. Because happiness should be come naturally to a person. I have been so unhappy with so many things and with so many people. I was angry and bitter so often, always frowning and frequently crying over spilt milk.
And I wonder if I've really strayed so far to the point that it has made me into a totally different person from before. And I wonder if it's too late to turn back now and try to walk that straight path again.. and maybe even find some meaning and purpose in life again.
Because the darkness can be so scary sometimes and yet so comforting at the same time because no one will be able to see how mangled you've become.
Yet, you know that you can't live in the darkness forever.
So when the light calls out to you.. you run to it.
Anyway, I hope that this year will be a lot better than the last - a happier and healthier year, full of love and laughter! (:
I did a bit of reflection today and some reading as well:
2 WAYS to LIVE
Happy are those who don't listen to the wicked,
who don't go where sinners go,
who don't do what evil people do.
The love the Lord's teaching,
and they think about those teachings day and night.
They are strong, like a tree planted by a river.
The tree produces fruit in season,
and its leaves don't die.
Everything they do will suceed.
But wicked people are not like that.
They are like chaff that the wind flows away.
So the wicked will not escape God's punishment.
Sinners will not worship with God's people.
This is because the Lord takes care of his people,
but the wicked will be destroyed.
- Psalms 1:1-6 (NCV)
