To be honest, I don't really know how life works. I mean, life doesn't have steps. Well, maybe they do. But then, they don't have instructions. Everybody is different. We may go through the same steps, but we live it differently. This one person might be a nerd and this other person might be a party animal in their teenage phrase of life. No one can really judge how we live. Maybe they can, but we live and we learn. We'll change when we feel like it. Nobody can tell us what we're doing with our lives are right or wrong. It's up to that person to live his/her life in what way. They just live their lives as long as they are happy.
Everybody makes mistakes. Maybe some people just make minor ones and some make major ones, but they are still mistakes. So, nobody is actually different. Most people think that when they make a major mistake, they'll die or their life will end. But they are just exaggerating. Yeah, you might get scolded, but it's just a mistake. Like you're the only one who had ever done it. Sometimes, it doesn't even get close to dying. We sometimes remember that one particular mistake that we made; even if it was 10 years ago. But through those kind of mistakes are how we learn to be a better person. Like I said, we live and we learn. After we lived that moment of embarrassment or torture, we learn that we should not do that ever again. Somehow, even with all the embarrassment, making mistakes are the best thing for somebody to do. It's true that one mistake comes after another. Maybe that's just the time for you to learn a lot of things.
These things just come naturally. You can't stop them from coming. You can't plan when you want it to come and when you want it to go. Maybe when it comes, you'll feel useless and stupid but think of it this way, at least you learned something from that experience. Okay, so, maybe one person does more than once of the same mistake. Doesn't mean it's the end of the world. So what? It's just a mistake. Maybe the consequences are big, but just go with the flow. It will work out. Once you've done something wrong, doesn't mean that you will do that something wrong forever.
Perfection. Everybody wants it. But nobody is perfect except for Rasullulah s.a.w. Although that is how it is, I still see people striving for perfection. Why? To whom are you gonna share your perfection with if you're perfect? Perfection isn't everything. Even though there are perfectionists in this world, they aren't perfect. Maybe their art works are perfect. Maybe what they do are perfect. But they are still not perfect. What's the use of being perfect anyway? Maybe if you're perfect, the first two days, you'll enjoy it, but after a long while, you'll get bored of it. Because perfect people don't really have fun. Like, when they play a game, they just win. They never lose and stuff and I'm talking crap now.
Do not underestimate yourself. When people see something extreme, they will always say that they can't do that. The thing is, you can. You just won't. Don't think that you can't do something. You'd be surprise of what you can do. Saying that you can't do something is just stupid. You could jump off a plane if you wanted to, and you can, you just don't want to. Saying that you're dumb is another thing. Nobody is dumb. Everybody has a brain. Everybody thinks. Some people are just slow. But that doesn't mean they are dumb. Just because you don't understand a word, doesn't mean you're dumb. Maybe that person is just a little bit advanced. You are not not worthless or useless. Don't ever think that. You may not know it, but to other people, you might be priceless and useful. You might mean the whole world to a person. So, over a mistake or if you think you're useless, do not do anything to hurt yourself. Just get over it and move on. It's not that hard.
Sometimes you just need to be critical. When you criticise others, don't forget how you'd feel if they criticised you. If you say that person is irritating, how would you feel if that person says that to you? But don't take criticism too personally. It's not really good. If some people were to talk behind your back and say bad stuffs about you, that's just how they feel. Just keep quiet about it. Actually, you could learn a thing or two from the criticisms. It's like, something to make you change yourself from bad to good.
Changing is hard, I know. It's harder when you DON'T want to change. Sometimes you just feel comfortable with yourself, even if you are annoying and rude. But it's best to change to a better person la. But if you don't feel like changing, who's making you? Nobody is stopping you from anything. When you feel the time is right to change, then change. Who knows? If people hated you before this, they might like you if you changed.
Don't expect life to be easy or trouble-free. Life is not easy. If it's easy, it won't be life (I'm talking crap). Do not complain. Well, not too much. If you complain, that means you'd expect life to be easy. Do you think you should be exempt from the rest of the human race?
Well, I guess that's for now. Just a reminder: If you think your life is imperfect, don't sweat it. None of our lives are perfect. Truth is, being imperfect is way better than being perfect.
