My life is always full
of new lessons, new discoveries, and new knowledge about it. I guess life is
truly full or surprises. You’ll never know when another chapter of your life is
going to be revealed.
For me, there are some
things in life that we need to learn by ourselves. Sometimes, wisdom is something
you gain through your own efforts. Like for example, acquiring knowledge based
from your own experiences. Anyway, experience is and will always be, the best
teacher, only if you can apply what you’ve learned.
I strongly believe that
every person has already experienced a life-changing moment in his life, even
just for once. It is when one small thing caused a huge impact in your life.
Afterwards, you’ll have this sudden feeling of enlightenment, like a bright
light struck you and carried away your entire burden.
Now, I’m facing a new
chapter in my life and the feeling is overwhelming. After all those challenges
I’ve gone through, another beginning is to start. Mixed emotions take over
me—excitement, joy, curiosity, and fear.
I feel like I’ve overcome
the biggest threat and largest problem that ever existed in this world. It’s
like being able to carry the cross with ease, without feeling even a single
pain. I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt like God took away the entire
burden within me.
Maybe it’s about time
for me to impart that wisdom to the people around me. And I also want to share
to others what I’ve learned in the past challenges which changed my life
completely. Overcoming my fears and self-doubts made the process much difficult
but without them, that trial won’t be as tough as it was—which only made me
stronger. Every undertaking was all worth it.
Day by day, I learn to
understand my purpose in this world. Through those undertakings and problems, I
managed to overcome my fears and realized the true meaning of life. Yes, every
beginning has its own end, but every ending corresponds to another beginning,
another chapter. Another chapter of my life has ended and I’m all set to take
the next.
