When you are growing old, you will see different perspectives of a single coin. When we were young, we saw it as a coin which has two sides. It conceives with our mind, we thought it’s normal, the dark and the light, the evil and the good.
You have to be good, or evil. You can’t be both! What we don’t know is that we can see both side of a coin at the same time using mirror. When you put an object in front of it, you can see both of the sides in the same time.
Can you focus on both of them at the same time? We have both eyes, but we can only focus to one object at a time. When you try to divide your focus, you will end up losing the other one. You can’t enjoy each of them equally.
People asks,”When will you get a house? When will you get married? When will you have a car? When will you have enough salary to pay all those? Why do you keep working on job you not satisfy with? When will you own your own business? and the list will continue to exactly no end, because no matter how many you answer, people questions everything!
We choose to focus on one side of a coin in life, not because we can’t be the other side of a coin, but because we choose side! But, in life, it doesn’t always works like that, we pretend to focus on one, even though our purpose is the other side of a coin. The question now is “Can’t we make a coin stand?” Yes, we can! That’s not the right question anyway. The right question is “How long can you make a coin stand?”
A little shake will make that coin fall down! Glue it to a table, and it will not move like forever. Determination is what makes our coins stand still. The thing is the only one who can move that coin even if it’s glued tightly to a table is us, yet we don’t have enough determination to move that coin.
How many times do you determine to do something, but you cancel it? How many times we stop, to take a break from our purpose? When finally you have time to refocus, you are already old and having too many regrets.
People will continue asks until you can’t hear their voices anymore, but even if no one asks us, our heart still asks, our mind still wandering around, talking about the biggest question in the world “WHAT IF”.
We are not people who can see what future lies in front of us. People tends to think that they won’t have regrets in their life, but then they realize it when they get sick and don’t have time anymore.
Fates does whatever it does to people! Whether we choose the bad side or the good side, we won’t escape the fates. The best thing you can do in life is to stop listening to people and do what you believe.
