taking time

allow me to share to you some of the good readings i had... in pursuit of understanding happiness i came to read a book entitled Being Happy by Andrew Matthews... hope you will reflect on it...

"nature alwasy takes her time. great oaks don't become great overnight. they also lose a lot of leaves, branches and bark in the process of becoming great. diamonds aren't formed in a week either. everything of value, of beauty, of majesty in the universe took time to become so.

so it will be with our own growth and development. let us recognize the way things work down here, and so be gentler on ourselves when assessing our own progress. it takes time to build confidence, to build a healthy body or a positive outlook. it takes time to build a business of value or to create our own financial independence. in the real world where there are very few instant, overnight successes."

wow! indeed it is true, becoming great is not an overnight job.... nor a daily overtime... even now at my age, i feel lacking... incompetent... and coward.. same with life... building or creating a happy life is not that easy... probably it won't happen til you grow old and died.... only then you achieve happiness in the after life...
