Bite Sized Reality

Lately I have been thinking a lot about people that came into my life. Some who disappoint me greatly, some who takes advantage of a friendship meant to be valued. Some that came into my life and took a piece of my heart with them.

With many questions why in my head and a flash back of memories with the ‘some,’ involved, I had an epiphany. Something very simple yet it all makes sense. These people are meant to come in my life, all of them with different purposes.

Some taught me that I shouldn’t trust so easily. Some taught me that I shouldn’t put myself there for people to take advantage of me because they can only do it when I let it. Some taught me to we can create new habits, change our lifestyle, but with the same attitude, we will still be the same person no matter what.

With the thought that they all came into my life, probably your life too, for a reason, I stopped thinking. I decided, perhaps it’s the best thing that I have the opportunity to encounter so many people who in a way, are like a life tutor and I am my own solver.

Life, got to love it.

If you know me well then you would know that I was a bit of a yoga freak until I moved to Singapore and sold my time to the corporate world. As a part of my resolution to be in the moment, I long to be really be in the moment and there’s no way more perfect than the yoga way.

As I was doing my tree pose, it all flows back to me, the reason why I turned to yoga. It is to get that moment, the one moment, a split second where your head thinks nothing, your mind thinks nothing, you are still.

I am not guru of stillness but that moment is simply precious, it’s like you are here but not really here. If only I could find words to explain that moment of peace. I suppose I could say that the first Friday 13th of the year is quite a success, no alcohol involved, just me and my zen mode.
