The Future Isn't For Us to See?
precisely. uncertainties. blurry. unknown. these are the 3 words we try to avoid. very often, we try to erase it off our minds. the real underlining reason? fear. we fill our minds with truck loads of 'what ifs' and we hesitate when thinking about how we should move on. our steps forward in our journey through life is inhibited by this word: fear. we stand at crossroads wondering: hmm, what shall we do next? where to?

but if you don't take a bold step through faith, you will never know. you will never experience. you will never understand, because your 'what ifs' were never acted upon. as i speak, i know that some of you are thinking through your life choices and go, why did i choose to date him/her 5 years ago? man, i should have done this! oh, i regretted choosing this school. had i known, i wouldn't have taken up this job offer. the wise men says, the journey through life is a lesson for us. we learn as we go along. we make mistakes. we proceed. we grow. we move on.

very often, we sit down and spend long hours just repeatingly blame ourselves. we cry over wrong decisions. we wished we could turn back time. yet, i've grown to be thankful that we can only live life once. we make it our best shot. we treasure time. we learn and we grow. and most importantly, i learn to tell myself, "it is okay, gracie. try again." that to me has been the most important lesson to learn through life.
