What happens after the lights were turned off?
It is one of my bedtime rituals to drink a glass of hot milk before sleeping. One strange night before getting off to bed, I turned off the lights and naughtily started viewing some adult video clips (how in the world viewing soft porns can get me to sleep easily remains a mystery though). When the bizarre sounds started to fill the air in the middle of the night, I realized I forgot to put on my headset realizing that my movie was heard all over the neighborhood through the loud speakers. My hands panicked seeking for the 'off' button of my speakers and accidentally catching the glass of milk nearby...and it spilled in the dark.
Suddenly, I have this realization that what happened to that broken glass and the spilled milk is somewhat identical to what is happening in my life for the past two years. I lost my job several times for different reasons. I seemed like being suspended in the air for quite so long, hanging in a moment of so many uncertainties. When I try to look back, I can see the common circumstances where I did wrong. I was pre-occupied all the time. I was never focused. I was restless, agitated...waiting for something that I'd wish to come. I forgot to see the things that are so close to my naked eyes.
With regards to my jobs, I can never say that I did not deliver. In fact, I did best what were required of me. It's just that, I was so distracted. If only I have focused on drinking my glass of milk, and not be distracted with what's on the screen, I should have not spilled or destroyed anything.
But I realize, I can never turn back the hands of time. All I can do now is to get a dust pan, and gather the broken pieces of glass. There is no way that I can reassemble the broken pieces but I can always make another glass of milk. It's time to sleep now and hope for a BETTER TOMORROW.
What's your story? Would you rather cry over spilled milk?
It is an advantage to catch maturity the soonest possible time so as not to waste your precious time. Planning your life, setting your short and long term goals and staying focus means stopping from day dreaming and be realistic! Take things one at a time. Be patient! Surely you'll gain something good from it. Always learn to value every blessings you have, may it be big or small.
