Food for Thought

Sometimes it's necessary to shut certain people out of your life to protect your sanity.

Dare to Dream

Today is the last day of 2014...So many things have happened this year...I'm thankful that my sanity and integrity have remained intact despite all the bad things that have happened to me at work this year. I'm thankful that I've not lost my sense of humour despite all the bad things that have happened. I'm thankful that I've a resilient and unbreakable spirit, which I think is so essential in a world that is full of uncertainties. I'm thankful that I've long recognised the importance of not initiating sins against other people, and I'm thankful that I try not to do so (not because I'm so righteous but because I believe in retribution). Last but not least, I'm thankful that there are people that I can count on to pray for me.

 

Sometimes I wonder if it's worth making so many sacrifices...at work...for people...Is it wise? Or is it foolish? Should I try to be more self-centred and more selfish? After all, as long as I'm  not deliberately hurting anyone or deliberately sinning against anyone, does it matter?

Karate

I think girls should learn karate (or other martial arts) from young to protect themselves from serial rapists, etc, especially in places and countries where there is a high incidence of crimes (including rape) against girls and women. Check out a video on how a girl protected herself from a man on Youtube: http://thisisham.com/man-tries-to-abduct-little-girl-with-black-belt-and-did-not-see-this-coming/

Dare to Dream

I wonder why some people can remain sane despite having gone through extreme mental anguish and suffering while others seem to sink easily into a state of mental collapse when faced with suffering? Is it because some people possess spiritual and/or emotional fortitude?

Letting Go of Friendships (Relationships)

I understand that it can be hard to let go of friendships (or for that matter, any relationships) that we have built over the years. However, if these friendships (or relationships) are emotionally draining to us or are unhealthy in other ways, then I believe we must make the wise choice of letting them go or setting a healthy boundary for the sake of our sanity and well-being.
