nudge

yo vet!

here’s a little reminder for you. pardon the lack of originality, hehehe, just lifted this from coelho’s book:

You have to take risks, he said. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.

i’m curious vet. why don’t you take risks? why deny the things you already know when you’re put on the spot, especially if things are about relationships with an xy. why is it so hard for you to believe that such normal things can and might also happen to you? why are you the first to put an obstacle to it? why don’t you play along? what will convince you that things like these are normal, and that you’re no different from most people? what is it that keeps you from participating in the beauty of life?

Every day, God gives us the sun — and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that we haven’t perceived that moment, that it doesn’t exist — that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same tomorrow. But if people really pay attention to their everyday lives, they will discover that magic moment. It may arrive in the instant we are doing something mundane, like putting our front-door key in the lock; it may lie hidden in the quiet that follows the lunch hour or in the thousand and one things that all seem the same to us. But that moment exists — a moment when all the power of the stars becomes a part of us and enables us to perform miracles.

Joy is sometimes a blessing, but it is often a conquest. Our magic moment helps us to change and sends us off in search of our dreams. Yes, we are going to suffer, we will have difficult times, and we will experience many disappointments — but all this is transitory; it leaves no permanent mark. And one day, we will look back with pride and faith at the journey we have taken.

Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks.
