footprints in the snow

when snow falls, it's like a blanket over the earth. it looks like a new slate that's been wiped clean.

life happens to be like the earth. when you are born, there's a fresh new blanket of snow. from the time you are born, you are the person who decides whether fresh snow falls or not.

when fresh snow falls, some people go out of their way to walk in the untouched snow. just so that their footprints are there. just so that people can see that they've been there.

when someone walks into your life, they walk on the snow. they first take a couple of small slow steps just to see if it's ok to walk properly. when they realise that it's ok to walk on the snow, they try to make footprints.

sometimes when there are too many footprints or ones that can't be seen, a fresh batch of snow falls. you are the person who decides whether that snow falls or not. you decide whether the footprints disappear or whether they stay there forever.

footprints in the snow. footprints in your life.

you decide whether they stay in your life and make an impact or if they should be blanketed by the fresh snowfall.

can i have the cake and eat it too?

sometimes in life when everything is perfect, when you have the perfect job, the perfect family, the perfect friends, the perfect lover, one of them goes wrong.

you think to yourself that it's too good to be good, or that maybe everything is the way it's supposed to be, you reach a crossroad where you have to choose one or another.

many times in life, the main choices you have to make is either between love and your career or between family and friends. what do you do when it comes to that? is there not once in your life that you can have all that you want? all your dreams, desires, can we not have them all?

every single time we've achieved something in life, we've always had to sacrifice for it. whether it be friends for excellent grades. or a powerful position for family. there is always something that we've had to give up to achieve our goals.

when in our lives can we have everything we want? when does a point in our lives come when we don't have to make sacrifices anymore? will there ever be a point in life where we can have the cake and eat it too?

when that time comes in life, i'll let all of you guys know.

carpe diem

there comes a point in life when you ask yourself "what happens next?"

when you've put one foot in front of the other, you always want to know what's coming your way. well stop it!

i've made a resolution this year that i'm not going to ask "what happens next?" i'm just gonna do.

what is the point of asking "what happens next?" when the outcome may be bad and when you hear it you wish that you didn't want to hear it in the first place? what happens when the next thing that happens becomes the best thing in your life and when you again ask the same question you're disappointed by the result?

don't ask "what happens next?" because it's unexpected. it's for no one to know and for you to find out. if you know what happens next then you won't ever be surprised by the outcome. isn't part of life to be surprised by the outcome? shouldn't you live life not knowing. if you lived life knowing, then it wouldn't be life.

so don't ask "what happens next?" just do. like it's written in latin.

carpe diem.
