UNCERTAIN

"If there's one word that could describe your life right now, what word would that be?"

This question has always been asked to us, but always remains to be a hard one to answer.

Right now, I've been contemplating about how my life is as of the moment. I know that there are many words that could describe how my life is now, but if there is one word which I think would be the best, I think that that would be the word, "UNCERTAIN".

And I'm sure that this goes on to many others too. No one in this world can say that their life is CERTAIN. 

I've always said, and I have always believed that the best way to enjoy life, is to ENJOY THE UNCERTAINTY that comes with it.

This is easy to say, but is VERY DIFFICULT TO DO.

There will always be this part in us that would want to know what the future holds. Maybe because we want to be prepared, or maybe because we just can't bear the thought of not knowing what's going to happen to us the next day. In this fast-paced world that we have now, we are always being advised that we should take a breather, and appreciate the things that are going on in the present. The days pass by so fast that we would just be surprised that another year is over. 

I've always been trying to keep my focus on what's happening in the present, but I will still always keep on thinking about what I should do the next day.  Sure, I'd usually want to "seize the day", but that doesn't mean that my mind would stop and not go about what's going to happen next.

This made me think that:

"MAYBE LIVING IN THE MOMENT IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT WE KNOW THAT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE TOMORROW"

That's why it's hard to stay relaxed for a day; for we know that the next day may not be RELAXING at all.

Being in law school made me think that way. After a long week of studying, I would always say that I should take a day to relax and not think about my studies for a while. I would feel calm, sure, but then just as I was about to come close to the end of that day, my heart would start pounding again as I think about what's going to happen to me the following week.

I would always say to my friends whenever they ask me if law school is difficult that "It's not difficult, it's just tiresome".  I don't want to sound so arrogant, but I really believe that. It would really entail a lot work, LOTS of it i tell you!!!hahaha!! But I don't want to vocalize any negative words, so I don't want to say the word "DIFFICULT", but rather, i'd say that "It would take a lot of your time and effort". Hahahaha!! 

Being a graduate of B.S. Psychology, I have come to realize just how powerful our mind really is! 

So if we produce negative words, our mind would absorb that, and it will stick to it FOREVER! (True Story)

There have been a lot of trying times, but I would always try my best to look at these things in the MOST POSITIVE WAY THAT I COULD.  Of course it's not easy; i would not call it denial too. It is more of a matter of MINDSET. 

Right now, a lot of things come into my mind. I would like to write them all, but then it would just be too much.  So I guess what I would just like to say is  in this life, there are and will always be challenges ahead. It would make us want to quit, it would even make us cry, and it would make us want to give up. But at the end of the day, what would matter is how we would take all of them, and how we will keep everything in stride. With perseverance, faith, and prayers, no uncertainties can ever pull us down. 

I have said that:

"MAYBE LIVING IN THE MOMENT IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT WE KNOW THAT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE TOMORROW"

But then I've realized that it should more be of this way:

"WE SHOULD LIVE IN THE MOMENT AND ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF IT EVEN IF WE  FAILED BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A NEW TOMORROW"

See?it's just a matter of turning things around! Hahaha!!

Kudos to LIFE'S UNCERTAINTY!
