Time sweeps in an instant and it's one year together already. Despite the ups and downs, we endured till today. For the past year, lessons were taught and learnt, the hard ways and the soft ways. It may seem like it's been a long while, but the relationship is just at it's beginning.
Our lives have been changing week after week. I would like to say that it's for the better. We are changing our ways to be more effective people. As we aim to be principle-centered people. we mature day by day. There is still lots of work to be done. But with hardwork and constant help from one and other, we will certainly reach our dreams of being highly effective people.
A special lesson I have learnt is that nobody can hurt you without your consent. We are humans, therefore we are responsible, response-able that is. I have learnt not to let my surroundings affect my moods and emotions. Other people's ineffective behaviour will not spoil my day. I shall be principle-centered. Ineffective people's behaviour will not lead me to hate. But it will lead me to compassion and care. These people need to see that their reactive behaviour will not solve problems. So they can go hate and be unhappy all they want, it won't solve anything.
With these changes in my life, I feel free from reactivity. I choose my emotions. Therefore, I choose to love and to forgive. And I don't care what other people think about that. =)
Guess what, guys? I've picked up a sport that I swore I would never play. It's SOCCER and it's filled with JOY!
After doing all the stupid moves anyone can think of for the past month and a half, the dear SW gang has taught me the game of soccer. It can be damn fun, even when you don't know how to play it. But I guess it's only fun when we play with our own friends.
Soccer really works my legs, making them more agile and flexible. Shit man! I should have picked this sport up ages ago. But it's okay, at least I'm enjoying myself with my classmates despite all the bruises.
As a beginner, I've been playing defense all the while.
The only thing I hate about soccer is being the goalie. It totally sucks...
