Stop. Feel. Listen.

"One of the life's biggest challenges really is trying to understand oneself," says Kuya Brent.

Understanding things really takes time. How much more understanding oneself? Thus, came the realization, there are things that I do not have to decide instantaneously, there are also things wherein I have already decided but then I still can change my mind despite the fact that there are already some major effects of the previous decision and there are things wherein we cannot anymore undo what had been done.

Instant decisions. Sometimes, when I am overpowered and dominated by emotions, I make decisions I do not really intend to do. (I guess this is true to majority especially ladies.) Though I always told myself that I should not make up my mind when I’m angry, I never told myself that I should not decide when I have extreme emotions. Yes, extreme emotions, not only the negative but also the positive ones. The tendency would be there is a bias to my dominant feeling.

What I really have to do is feel, think, understand and listen to what my heart is really shouting. In the process, I should accept everything that comes, the pain, the happiness, the emptiness. Everything. I should savour the moment while I still can feel. Later on, I will know what I really want, what my heart really desires for. It would take time. But that would be fine for in the end I know that it may not be the right decision yet it might be the decision which will make me really happy in the long run.

Listen to your heart.

Learning, it never stops. When you stop, life stops.

I guess I am learning. :)
