just because you can

"This day is not happening to you. It is happening through you. The way you see the world does not merely affect what you think and feel about all that is going on. The way you see the world determines how the world would be.

Your thoughts are not just momentary flashes that disappear once you are finished with them. They are powerful forces that give energy and direction to life.

The events and situations that come your way are not just random occurrences. There is a reason why you have put yourself in a position to experience them.

The things that are possible are the things that you imagine and expect to be possible. Raise your imagination and your expectations to new levels, and the world follows right along.

This day is happening becuase you are here to live it. Make it truly grand exquisitely beautiful, just because you can."

-- Ralph Marson

mistakes

sheez, who would have thought that watching a sticom would make me think about my life.. well, it did.. i was watching "how i met your mother"(i'll post a seperate article for this one.. soon.... i hope), and some of their lines made me think... a few of them are:

"life's full of mistakes, but the greatest mistake is not taking a chance of doing something and knowing if it is a mistake or not, we would never know if it is a mistake if we didn't try"

i guess this is somehow similar to the quote "life is full of risks, but the greatest risk is not taking any risks"... yet both of them are true... sometimes we really are just afraid of making mistakes, of taking risks... we are too careful in our life that sometimes we don't enjoy it... we let the good things pass us by because we are just too afraid to try.. we didn't even know if the things we never tried will be good or bad for us.. regrets will always be in the end of our decisions... but, that is life... we can never be too reckless nor we can never be too careful...

"if we always think about what should we do in our life, we may never have the opportunity to do what we think we should do"

so... we should never think too much? i don't know. let me think..... hmmm..... still thinking..... again, still thinking.... seriously... i think it really depends on the situation or how we should handle it... maybe we should think things through... maybe we should just grab on the risks and know if what we did is a mistake or not...

anyways... these are just my opinions and interpretation for the quotes... you may add one if you want...

for yet another second ...

i've been reading my old posts in my blog, and this particular post of mine strikes me in the head. i'll just paste the quote here from that posts:

"As we grow up we learn that even the person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down, probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it feels when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt becuase every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back."

i really can't remember where i got this quote. i just felt like saving it. yet, why does it feels different reading it now? last time i've read it, it made me smile in an instant. now, it just doesn't. why can't i cheer up? maybe because of the things that happened to me? a lot of sad things happened. when it rains it pours they say, and it did for me this year. it really poured hard. though for now, "bisa naku talagang muli".
