So, I had a sudden urge to start writing once again.
Time has gone by just like that. I feel like I’ve aged, not just physically but in my soul as well.
It started with me listening to some of the old recordings I did with my bestie. I felt moved in my heart whilst listening to the songs. Somehow, I was transported back to the days where life seem to be simpler, and the heart, fuller.
A simple song & a guitar can bring endless hours of fun.
A bowl of fries & a group of friends can bring tons of laughter.
A movie & a box of popcorn can bring joy to an entire day.
Has society changed, or was it my heart that changed. Or perhaps both.
This year, I felt led in my heart to focus on happiness. Not that I’ve been unhappy. But to learn to be happy in all things, in all ways, every day. To be satisfied, to be patient when things don’t go my way (in other words, don’t sulk haha), to open my eyes and see that there are many different little things in my life that can bring happiness everyday. To be thankful, to be grateful.
And if you ask me – so what brought you happiness this year?
I would say..picking up my guitar & worshipping Him, seeing people I love smile, spending time with them, being kind to people, trying new things for the 1st time, not getting summons so far (*fingers crossed!!* haha), being & staying healthy.
Happiness is free. It’s air, it’s everywhere. Sometimes we just need to quieten our hearts, open our eyes and we will see it right at our doorsteps. I didn’t say it’ll always be easy, but if we try, it’ll be there : ).
I’ve discovered a new role model – John D Rockefeller. He was & still is 1 of the richest man ever to lived in the world. A man who was wise, shrewd when he had too, humble & placed God 1st. He wrote this at the end of his life, and it’s something i want to work towards too.
“I was early taught to work as well as play,
My life has been one long, happy holiday;
Full of work and full of play –
I dropped the worry on the way –
And God was good to me everyday.”
I’ve always been a playful one, but i want to be able to look back and be proud of the work I’ve build as well. Perhaps, work will be the focus for 2015? ; )
