It's the Dose That Makes It Poisonous

Anything can become toxic if it's taken too much. Your medications, addictions, hobbies etc. Knowing when to stop and reevaluate life is something that should be considered by anyone. Including me of course. I've always been into gaming ever since I was a little kid. Consoles, mobile, anything that catches my interest. I didn't really know what's my goal in life, at least not until I entered university. That was the very moment I realized I've wasted too much time doing something that only satisfies my short-term happiness or instant gratification.

    These days I've been trying to avoid doing those and fill up my day with things that can help me reach my long term goals. Although I still have cheat day. But hey, I'm improving. This is probably the most important thing to teach to a youngling, on how to value life and know their worth. That way they realize what they want to do in life and avoid things that don't add up to their growth. I was a careless kid, only wanted to play games rather than studying subjects. My parents told me that I should really read, study, go out etc but I didn't get why should I do those kind of things. I had a narrow mind, judgmental towards literally anything and didn't want to accept criticisms. But now that I see it they are actually good for my growth. 

You never know what the results are, but if you do nothing, there will be no results. - Mahatma Gandhi

    After having those thoughts I've been reading so much books and articles, sometimes I would skip lunch/breakfast/dinner just so I can continue and don't want to get interrupted. I was having the time of my life. Now, before you do something that you think it has a big impact to your life, consider what important tasks you have to do beforehand. You don't want to abandon your duties (although it feels great if we were to not think of them, procrastinate). If you need to eat then go eat, if you are sleepy then go sleep. Just remember not to spend more than how long you usually spend to maximize your one and only time in your life.

    Keep on growing, learning, anything you have been working on but don't overdo it. Trust me, you don't want to overdo it. Know when to stop and reevaluate your life.

Adios!

Parting Apart

I want to say I'm sorry, but I can't. Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic guy. I really love her, so much. With all my heart. Every night, it's a battleground in my head. Whether to forgive myself and just move on, or there are other layers that I have not yet discovered. I really want her to come back. Maybe it's true, love does not have to have . I want her to shine. She's a diamond of her own league. She's cute. She's my smile. She's everything for me. Now I'm getting emotional ahaha.      My sense of romance isn't getting any better as the day goes by. Practice ? That's probably the word. I need to do it. It's just, I couldn't understand her. I mean, I do have a sister. I should understand her a little bit; woman's world. Maybe much. But, like people say, everyone is unique. She's special.      I hope that she's smiling everyday; I know she's a tough one. She's an independent woman. Knowing that everything's...

Persist and Resist

No matter what the results are, keep doing it . You only get better when you don't stop. Even if you don't think you can pull it, just believe in yourself. If something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor. -Elon Musk      Start fresh. Do things slowly . Never expect big returns. Always think of the worst case possible scenario. Slow but sure . Stay away from distractions . Build up your confidence . Listen to music of your choice. But remember, take a quick break once in a while. Record your progressions. You will soon see how much you have improved . Adios!

This Too Shall Pass

Bad things happen in our life, whether it's from our own actions or the universe conspiracies to make you suffer . Some say we can overcome all the obstacles we find on our way to achieve greatness if we believe hard enough that we could . It's not only about how motivated we are but also what strategy and what kind of resources we hold. Both can be from the help of colleagues or our own. Whatever is yours today, was somebody else's yesterday, and will be somebody else's tomorrow.  -Krishna, in Bhagavad Gita      Very wise words from my all time favourite philosopher. It means that we have to be grateful for what we have right now, like everything. Like, say, your clothes you are wearing right now, if it is made out of cotton, it was made by all the worms that worked hard to produce the cotton. Not knowing it will be taken from them just to fulfill humans need. Domestication. Wow this is probably too much for now but yeah you get the point. Say, your job right now, i...
