CL Stories - 21 Knots lower [Chapter 59]


I never realized it would be this way. I know it’s probably too early to say anything. But I wouldn't deny that I am happy. Are you the one? Who knows? There are a lot of things to consider and the one of utmost importance is to take things down a notch and slow down. Like they say a hasty job spoils a master’s touch. I’m not one to fancy the changes this world keeps bringing but I guess there’s not really much I can do. To stay the same and fight the flow of life is not a wise decision to make but neither is to go faster than its currents. Just like how the fishes go with the ebb and flow of the seas we all should do the same with life. It’s always better to take the stairs (unless your climbing 200 floors up I wouldn't recommend the stairs. LoL), take a walk, lie down and listen to music, stop for a while and breathe fresh air, grab a beer and watch your favorite game. We already live in a busy world and some people fail to notice the importance of taking a time off. In our endless pursuit of happiness we come face to face with different obstacles. Going on a fast pace doesn't guarantee that we’ll overcome the obstacles or immediately reach the happiness we desire. The ride itself while you’re pursuing happiness is the key to overcoming the obstacles. Slow down and appreciate the scenery. There might also be hints and clues that could help you overcome what’s coming your way if you slow down. So I've made up my mind this time. I've always been the kind of person who grabs an opportunity if it’s there since I know all of them have a shelf life. This time around I will study and examine the kind of opportunity that’s in front of me and grab it at the right moment. I don’t know why I haven’t thought of this before. I guess my thinking of not taking anything for granted got the best of me that’s why I seem to rush into things. I definitely have a better understanding and clearer vision this year on what I should be doing and how I should be doing them, probably because these is what I've learned from my mistakes last year. I’m still excited on how things will go and how it will turn out, but all in good time. To be writing this just means I’m ready to take on another journey and chapter of my semi-boring life. But more over this is to signify that I've probably found another source of inspiration, hopefully it’s not limited this time. I know people change and feelings fade, but then again it is a matter of choice. You choose which you can change and you choose the feelings to fight for to stop it from changing.

“Slow down and enjoy the ride. Life is too beautiful to just pass by it.”
