"Surrender is giving up control not losing power."

frankly speaking, i'm really lucky. i have a life which is near perfect, which gives me even more reason to be contented about. i face problems, but they were never big to the extent that can take my breath away. However, there are some people who are left with no choice but to stay strong, no matter what happen. i've learnt that accepting the truth, the harsh reality is the least one should do. Because if we choose to turn away from the truth all the time, then we would be living in self-denial. isn't it? Also by accepting the truth also meant a step in moving forward. Maybe one may feel helpless and lost, but never forget as long as one is still alive, until the very last breath, hope still exist.

Just to add on, recently i've read a book;life lesson for loving the way you live&& in one of the chp, it talks about a girl who was born with a musical background; with her parents being singers and musicians. At the age of 4, she was already learning different type of instruments, singing and dancing. Music was simply her life. One day(already an adult), she got into a car accident, her injuries was devastating. What mattered most was that her vocal cords, trachea and esophagus had been destroyed. She could hardly talk, let alone sing. Her life is gone, literally. All the best thing that ever happen in her life just disappeared in a blink of an eye. But she knew she had to surrender to the moment, the reality. Given her condition, the docs told her that she would nt be able to talk again. Instead of being sad and depressed, she was in the state of awe and gratitude& never thought of giving up. She mediated everyday and was very patient, tho now, she is still on her route of recovery but at least she has successfully got back into the music industry,being able to record songs etc!(:

The reason why i shared this is because i wanted to tell everyone out there that no matter how bad the situation is, theres always light. i know action speaks louder than words.& i always wonder if i'm able to do it if i happen to be the person. well, my ans would be no. But it is important that we change our mindset now. who knows, one day we may turn out to be stronger and more positive than we expect ourselves to.

Live in gratitude, always believe. (:
