The skies still looked the same... overcast and lonely. I was sitting in my grandma's old rocking chair in the terrace outside while thinking of how gray the sky had been for days. A little sunshine and then rain. As I was waiting for my cup of hot milk to warm down, I contemplated on what our teacher said to us yesterday when we were having a lesson in our Military Science subject. It was about hardship. Taking things one step at a time but not putting a second in idle.
I mused at the very thought of it. I knew that I was being in one of God's another playful yet serious tableau of learning. I couldn't resist myself not thinking of it. It was a thought I've heard a thousand times before in our Values and Ethics classes. I know I'm used to it but it's like there is something in what our teacher had said that made it glued to my mind.
Perhaps, it was when he'd said don't put your fate in other people's hand. That if you really call it hardship then give meaning to it. The government will not help you if you're just gonna sit there and wait and much more God will not if you yourself will not do anything to make it happen. All of our wishes will all be granted if we just know how to fulfill them. You can't expect things to just fell from the sky like the rain. You have to reach for it.
That was the thought. I was so amazed by the impact it gave to me. I said to myself, "If only those people who are suffering now from mountains of debts or other problems are listening to this." Sometimes it's really with the individual's mind. It's how he thinks that these problems get to him. I must say that I truly believe in the phrase, "It's all in the mind." because if you just think that you can finish all these tasks or you can get away with this easily then you will. How can you do things successfully if your thinking you can't, right?
There are times when we're like being tested in things that put us in our weakest point but in the end it's just a test and will always be that way unless you let it pull you down, but even if you fail, you should learn to pick something from the ground and carry it with you when you climb your way back up. Yes, that's it. Learn from what you've failed. But failing twice or more is somehow not excusable.
Let's not wait or anticipate more than what the clock had ticked. Let's be vigilant with flair.
