Earlier part of my life was more on striving for surviving, pursuing physical and financial needs, food, car and house etc. Then I realized happiness isnt just about that. Whats the point when I have all those but became a perfectionist or lacking sense of security etc and dont know how to enjoy life? In earlier stage of my life, I was more focusing on intellectual or logical related work. Then I realized it didnt bring happiness that I wish, so I worked on the emotional and spiritual parts. Then I realized although many lessons that I learned in a hard way at earlier stage of my life have made me grown up rapidly, growth isnt really need to come from pain. I also can grow and transcend myself in different or gentle ways. The more I worked on emotional and spiritual parts, I felt as if an iceberg inside me was getting melted slowly. I realized I was taking life too seriously. I learn to be less rigid and take life easier, pursuing my dream while accepting whatever comes in life instead of depressing myself when things do not happen in the way I wish. When I not only focus on my initial target but also try to see, listen and feel what life tries to tell me, I realized theres different possibilities, choices and paths in front of me, and it is up to me to choose whether the harder or easier path. Swinging myself in between intellectual, emotional and spiritual and trying to find the balance, I realized I like the holistic way of approaching life. The main thing is finding my own balance point. I believe everyone has different stories and nature, I dislike people telling me what I should do with myself or how to live my life. And I believe we all can pursue happiness or strive to transcend ourselves in our own preferred ways. For me, having unhappy life experiences doesnt make it an excuse for being unable to pursue happiness in life. Essentially, I believe Im the one who is responsible for my happiness......
