A Story called Life

I never imagined that there would come a day when with all small scribbles over the years, I would be able to connect them together as a chain of events into a book. This book means a lot, not just because it is my first, but because it is part of the journey that I have gone through. It is a journey where I believe a lot of us go through but sometimes fail to see what it brings to us.

My attempt to put this together is not for people to understand what they have failed to understand, but in fact it is for me to understand the message between the lines, the message from the events and the message in the feelings I have felt, to be able to connect the dots in my life and get a more clearer understanding of what is the true meaning of life, what is the lessons that I need to learn and above all what am I meant to do in my life and how and what does it take to achieve the inner peace that so had evaded me time and again.

Life is all about the small dots. Dots we encounter and remember as events. Dots we encounter and forget. I fail to see many, but the ones I remember definitely makes me believe in a connection, a plan laid for me that has been shown to me to walk on. All these dots showed me the eventual destiny I could make, based on my actions. The actions I did, defined my road… did I realize late that it was all in hands. My destiny is in my hands; and what I really need is a tool, a tool called Inner peace, to guide me through, and someday, I will be able to then pass this message to my loved ones.

“Don’t spend your energy living in the past but instead look back and learn. When you have learned, spend your energy in the present, so all your actions can make a brighter future – in you, then you will find the real peace, the real harmony to look life right into the eye, and walk with your head held high, creating the destiny you want, and you will see life will change its plan for you… change it for the better and ever.”
