I'm back. As part of my recovery(been very ill), I am committing to a daily quote post for this year 2022. I will be posting it on my social media and blog/website, as a means of sharing my thought to the world, in the hope that it inspire, uplift, and inform.
CQ #1: It's Still Not Too Late to Start Building the Life of Your Dreams
At the state I am in, with all the challenges and difficulties, I asked myself: Is it time to give up? To just stop all of this and quit on my dreams? Just give up and disappear?
I searched and thought to myself deeply, and the thought sounded very attractive indeed. But then, I asked myself: "Who are you? Have you done what you feel is your Purpose in this World? Is the world a much better place because you've lived? I had to answer: "No. Not yet". So, that is the simple reason why I just can't stop yet. As one of the poems of a favorite poet(of my father), Robert Frost says: " The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I've got promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep". So, I guess, I just can't sleep yet.
You? Do you KNOW that you still need to do something in this world? Have you written that book? Have you helped many people? Have you secured your family? What promises have you yet have to keep? Have you kept the promise to yourself to Live the Life of Your Dreams?
If you're feeling down and hopeless, in these times, a very many people are. But take heart, there is ALWAYS, a silver lining. And, as the saying goes: "this too, shall pass". As long as we are alive and capable, we can STILL work towards our Dream Life, starting small if need be. Believe me, as long as you are committed, and dedicated, there are many "easy to start" side businesses one can build on, and gain momentum with, to reach for bigger and bigger goals in life.
I know it sounds cliche, but the key is to NEVER GIVE UP. Especially if it means that you've yet to fulfill your Mission/ Purpose. Especially, if you've still got promises to keep. And especially, if you've got dependents depending on you to stand for them, to guide them, to provide for them. For those of us who do, it's still many more miles before we can sleep.
God bless everyone and much love.
