"Some of the cliches we so love to use and hear..."

"Nothing is impossible. You can be what you want to be. "

Oh.. is that reali so? If you inherently just don't have what it takes to be what you want to be, can you still be who you want to be? Probably not...

E.g: So many ppl want to be superstars. But look at them....majority will probably fall under the "cannot make it" category. You know what I mean...when you first hear them sing or see them act. We know how to pat and compliment them for their courage to try but inside us, we know they can never make it on the real stage no matter how hard and long they try cos they just lack the natural qualities to become one. As realistic as that.


"Think positive. It's not the end of the world."

Then I rather it be the end of the world so that all my problems will not need to be solved and be gone together with everything and everyone.

Nah. I mean..

if it's so easy to think positive whenever you want, den you can go becum goddess in heaven!
Who don't want to think positive? I am sure those depressed ppl know this philosophy of life very well at their finger tips too but they just can't help thinking negative! Isnt it?

I think it just goes down to a very impt factor: Personality.
Some ppl tend to think more positive while some more negative...

From here, it links me to the topic on extraverts vs introverts. Are extroverts generally happier individuals than introverts? I want to leave it to my next post to talk more abt it.

"Live simple. Be contented with your life."

What is live simple? How simple is simple, you tell me? With the high cost of living still escalating and will continue so, it is a difficult task to enjoy reasonably well if you have little money. Peer comparison may be enough to make you think that your life is not good enough as compared to the so called 'norm'. Your socializing activities got affected when you cant live up to the lifestyle of your surrounding peers. You may not mind living simple but the social context you are in is the one that acts pressure on you. Bombarded by surrounding social temptations that signify the joys of living and by a certain desire to indulge in the luxuries of life, its not easy to wanna live simple afterall...


With the desire to think more positively in life, I shall leave a postscript to end my post...

Though there are certain things we cannot presumably achieve even however hard we may try, the process of achieving it will nonetheless be a fruitful experience for one. There's nothing to lose. Who knows, during your journey of exploration, other new better opportunities might just open up for you! This does happen!

Linking back to one of my previous posts, it's reali based on one's own priorities that define one's own contentment. Sometimes, its reali the little things in life that are enough to make one's living in this world a worthwhile one... Trust this!

No cliche...
