One of the things that I learnt or realised today: That it's time to stop living to meet expectations of others. Simply because that's not why I am here, my sole purpose is to please Him and Him only. My desire to do well should be for Him, and that'll be the beginning of the realisation of what He meant when He said that "my yoke is easy and my burden is light". And it's comforting when the Lord reminded me that His grace is sufficient. The grace that sees past my failure and gives me the strength needed to face it. I can blame it on my current situation at home, or my human nature, or that everything's just unfair. But I refuse to. I didn't make it to the next year. Yes, I am disappointed but I still have a chance to move on to year 2, and even excel.

Strangely enough, on my way back home from school, this quote popped into my mind: "Success is 99% failure" and I smiled thinking about it because although I used to think that quote was really funny and out of place in my Sec 2 homeroom (including the fact that my form teacher was Mass Cheok), it's actually true.. as cliché as it sounds. Disappointment is part and parcel of life. The difference is just how you respond to it.

So.. in time, I'll really be okay.

“Everything will happen as was written by the Lord,” replied the prophet. “There are moments when tribulations occur in our lives, and we cannot avoid them. But they are there for some reason.”

“What reason?”

“That is a question we cannot answer before, or even during, the trials. Only when we have overcome them do we understand why they were there."

Take advantage of the chance that tragedy has given you; not everyone is capable of doing so.

Walk,
Even when you can't stand anymore,
Just walk..
