Don’t look back in anger

When was the last time you take time to reflect, how far you’ve been walk? How much you’ve been through?

If you haven’t, well.. let’s.

Just breathe…. I know when you read this maybe you already think about it.

Maybe for some of you, you reflect from 5 years ago, or maybe 10, maybe from you were younger, maybe when you’re a child… or maybe simply yesterday.

Or maybe you remember about your mistakes, but I hope you already got through that.

Or maybe, you remember about your anxiety and worries about future, but hey, here you are!

For me, that’s the last one. I often think about future, cause I can picture it in anyway I want, I give it color, and day dream about a happy life is fun. I also think about past, even tho I cannot change it even a bit. But it’s full of insight to take value and meaning so that I can build my purpose, I could renew and refresh it.

The reflection itself makes me more grateful, because I know The Almighty will always watch me, guide me, and protect me even I’m super anxious, super sad, uncertain, or skeptical. But deep inside I know and I pray so that all of that feeling will paid off, and all of that feelings are leading me to remember The One, more and more.

Or maybe right know, you are in the middle of storm of life, you remember how happy back then, you miss your past, want to go back to the good old days.

It’s normal and very human.

In case no one say this to you; The storm will comeback again eventually, but I hope you’re getting stronger by getting through this one.

I hope you get better soon, and when you reflect next time, you remember the storm with a smile on your face, and grateful feelings in your heart.
