Matters that matter

Years ago, as a university student, I wish only to finish a degree as it is all it takes to get a ticket for the professional future. Complacent in academics but big-time in ambition, the life ahead has always been perceived and expected to be easy and achievable once I kick off on my own. Though not a dean's lister, I always find it easy to make friends with a feel that I could lead a pack. Having that Confidence in my system even at a young age has helped push the drive to try things not an average fellow in my circle do. A little soon after acquiring my diploma, I start conceptualizing a business even without possessing an actual fund to run it. It was something drastic try only to prove that my wings are full grown and ready to fly to cross some miles. With the support coming from who believed in my capabilities, my eloquence has travelled successfully in finding investors...and the concept got materialized at the end in a short span of time.

It is such a fulfilling moment to run something that you hoped for it will make you big one day...until you start to realize that it isn't going where it was supposed to be heading to anymore. As quick as how it surfaced in existence, it vanished the same.  Lack of experience and under-developed maturity are needless to say as culprits. Life paused for a moment after that...but it did not take long until something gets active in my head again. "Life doesn't stop from one failure" I thought.

Focus takes me back in track. My goal was still clear. It wasn't easy however every single time. 

After many years of battling with hard times, I manage to learn how to see the calm side of life. How beautiful it is to stick your head out into the surface again. The fresh air that kisses your face feels like a supplement making you a youngster one more time. It gives the opportunity to see what you miss in life before while being busy catching up with general obligations and going after meeting deadlines and dues. 

You will never feel life treats you well until you take a break - that's what I meant. In whichever world you belong to, being busy is always attached to everyday life. We just need to withdraw from it from time to time to get some air...and it is not something inevitable as well. There is always a way to achieve something. Prioritizing is an ability. If someone chooses to get dominated by pressure - either coming from work, people, situation; or time, he/she would never have a sunshine. When pressure is around, it is the best time to be selfish - a positive sense of being selfish. You need to give focus and attention to your own happiness, to your own wants. Life is short. We pass in this world just once. If we miss a day not smiling, we miss a life one day. We just should live life in the moment. Tomorrow might be too late to do what we wanted to do today. If something still feels missing, just consider the fact that there is no single person, thing, or situation in the world that can provide, offer, or give the happiness of the other person in a complete sense...we just need to fill the holes out in our pursuit for happiness. If it takes ending up messy at some point, at least the try makes it exciting. Life is all about excitement, otherwise it's going to be stationary. 

These are the matters that matter in a short-lived life.
