What do I Want ?





I’ve been asking myself lately — what do I want in this life?

But until now, I can’t answer the question yet…. I don’t really know what I really want in this life — name it happiness, career, success, family, wealth, health– I don’t know. Honestly I would like to have everything! But for sure it’s impossible to have everything in life — well, almost impossible.

I find that I’m like a wheel… there are times when I’m on the top (optimistic, bright, happy, energetic), but there are also times when I’m at the bottom (pessimistic, not confident, low, sad). I guess we are all going through that cycle, we sometimes feel happy but sometimes sad. We never stay at the same position forever. That is the dynamics in life — things are just keep moving and changing [things are impermanent].

This too shall pass.…. That is the mantra that I like to use to remind me of this impermanence.

I today have a bit of insight of what I need in myself. It’s kindness and compassion.I’ve been hard on myself lately…. I expected a lot from myself — and the expectations have attachment to its tag. That is why I found myself a bit low and not cheerful lately… I need kindness to myself…. I need to open my heart…. :) Let’s be kind to yourself and others!
