Chill-LAH

Have u ever felt that sometimes no matter how hard u tried, it will NEVER be enough?
Have u ever woke up and look in the mirror and ask the reflection looking back at u, "Who's that ugly thing?"?
Have u ever left unsatisfied even though u've done the most of ur your efforts?

I can bet my every dollar that everybody has felt that way in their lives, at least ONCE. There are times you could be so critical with the outcome of your own efforts u beat urself up even without giving credit for the heart and time spent on it.

Life has a cheeky way of delivering itself. Challenges can come in any form, and anytime (especially times when u didn't need, damn it Murphy, damn it.) In this contemporary era of the society, too much is never enough. Everyday there are different kinds of stress, some are routine, some just plain unexpected. There's always a moment of self-blame n over-criticism once a day in our lives.

Acknowledgement by other people is very important, but not as important as knowing and ACCEPTING yourself that u've done your best. Sometimes, we gotta just take a chill pill and relax. Yes, there's still room for improvement (room which we always will have), but the process of getting there is what REALLY made us who we are.

If u don't know what i mean by too much self-critical, here's something to ponder:
Would u ever tell your friends/ family/ colluegues or even a random stranger that he/she looks like a fat cow? but somehow it's easier to tell it to yourself (sometimes, everytime..) right? How could other people's feelings be more important than your own? They should be EQUALLY important. What i'm saying is, be kind to others, be kind to yourself too. Your own mental well-being deserves some TLC.

Quote: Life's a journey, not a destination. When u get there, you'll be six feet under.

Think about it :)
til then
