Past, Present & Future

I found this somewhere, wrote it down and just re-read it. It's put in such a nice way and there's truth in those words as well.

I asked God, "how do i get the best out of life?"

He answered, " never regret your pasts, handle the present with confidence, prepare for the future without fear."

Then He added, "Drop the fear, keep the faith. Don't believe your doubts and never doubt your beliefs."


It's so easy to read and understand those words but it's harder to apply it to our own lives, don't you think so?

But i think it's a really good illustration and way to actually bring ourselves to greater heights. Because regrets pull us down and keeps us in an underground dungeon of " i shouldn't have", "it would be so different if i just..." and "i should have done this instead of that".

It's hard to prepare for the future without fear. It's like trying to walk blindfold at the peak of a mountain oblivious to where all the ridges and edges are. One step might just kill. But i guess, without fear...we'd be able to open a door of possibilities. Then we would not have to regret "not knowing" or "not doing" something that we thought we should have done later on in the future.


I'm talking in circles and circles and circles againnnnn.. I'm ssssoooooo "cheong hei"..-.-

Anyways, just a train of thoughts..

Cheers~
