Comfort for Oneself



Was reading this book, Love is all about You, again. There are 50 small titles in it, here is the 21:

"Giving yourself a measure of comfort a day"

Give yourself a measure of comfort at the end of everyday.
Affirm within yourself the courage to face challenges.
Forgive yourself for an unkind deed, word of tought.
Comfort yourself at the end of a difficult day that tommorow will be better.
You are your best companion.

This kind of practice is also suggested in a book, In the Sphere of Silence, by Vijay Eswaran. Kinda a good simple practice. This is 'self-help' which some people call it as BS. I believe it, though. =p

I've learned...



Last few days, I was flipping a book that is full of my frens' hand writting before I left for Malaysia. This 25 of September makes it two years. =) I found it very true and sweet in some ways.


I've learned that heroes are the people do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

(It's make me hero when I finished my assignment on time =P)

I've learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you are down will be the ones to help you get back up.

(Does it make guessing a wrong doing?)

I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry, I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
(Yeah, I shouldn't be. When I think will feel good to throw my temper to anyone, I feel even worse)

I've learned that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

(No comment as it so true to be true)

I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

(Everytime I finish with 'dramatic session', I move on)

I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influences who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

("I was..." has never been a good excuse. "I am..." does matter)
