If You JusT BeLieVe

Do you believe in destiny?
I guess that’s kinna weird question, but sometime we just questioning our life and things that happened there. We look at things, disapproving and analysing them, looking beyond what’s on the surface to see reasons. And it’s not so surprising to find no reason for things to happen, it just meant to be…it’s destiny and written in your hand.

But is it destiny how we live our life?
God creates us, human, to find our own way. There’s always choice everywhere we look. Even as a baby, we already been given choices, whether to drink the milk our dear mother has or take it from the bottle. Baby cries when they feel discomfort aren’t they?

Nobody has the honour to choose the kind of family they're living in, but we all have the power to choose what to end up to be. Those kids you see every single day, singing on the bus and handling envelopes, expecting the people to support them…like they have no other options. Options are everywhere, it is how you see it. There are people more than willing to take care and teach them, give them a chance to have a better life but it is up to them whether they continue living in the street or make their life better. Cos one thing for sure, life is never easy…life is never as simple as we expect…

Being happy is a choice. You can just sit on a couch in a rainy day and enjoy your life by yourself, at other time you can feel empty in the middle of a crowd. You can have no money in your purse and still be happy, or even you can have million on your bank account and still feel lonely.

You do notice how people in big city like Jakarta live their life? Most of them are so obsessed in getting a head of others. There’s no limit for satisfaction and nothing is ever enough. Compared those to the people living in the village. You can feel sincerity shine from their faces, spreading happiness to those who see. They live a simple life and choose to be happy about it, realizing that complaining will not get them anywhere. Take what life offers you and cherish them with all your heart.

Just keep in mind for you always given choices and awareness of their risk. That you are given strength to stand in every storm and wind blows your ground. That life is not always black and white, it often grey and rainbow too.

It’s a matter of picking your card…and plays it smartly.

Jam empat tiga belas menit, minggu, dua puluh satu agustus dua ribu lima.
From a friend’s life, who is hopefully soon discover her strength to believe in herself.
