24.December 2012. 23.22 pm. It is one of those nights you are stuck in front of the laptop listening to vintage songs of different genres.You tried to sleep but in vain.You were trying to think what was wrong.Too many things to think perhaps.Assignments for the university,studying for the upcoming exams,new facts and deadlines at work right after Christmas holidays, issues with family,fellows or mate...personal quests and queries maybe!The last ones have been haunting you a long time now.You have been called to confront numerous of new data.And many of them to digest!And above all, a debriefing of your year so far.Where should you start from?? (sigh)
24.December 2012. 23.39 pm. You put a glass of wine.Nick Cave is singing to hold on to yourself.Well..in any way you should!!This year,as each year, was special.With losses and victories.With good and bad moments lying in your judgement and estimation.The purpose of debriefing is to gain experience,learn from mistakes and choices, prepare yourself to accept a new route of things, work hard with yourself to become a better person.You strongly believe this is the ultimate thing.Becoming a better person.And I will agree!!However,this year brought you in front of circumstances, paths and facts you couldn't have control at.
No need for examples.Everybody has one.So now you focus on where you were this time a year ago and where you are now.And how you evolved during this time.
24.December 2012. 23.58 pm.What hurts more are the chances that weren't seized and important (to you) people that were gone.Because chances lead to people and people to chances.Can't compare them.And you definitely can't bring them back.Was it a love that now is gone or far away?Was it a dream job you lost or didn't take?Was it a performance you didn't go well (and you knew you could do better than that)?Was it a goal you didn't achieve?Was it a person that hurt you or you hurt him/her? No matter what it was, now it is a moment that has passed.
25.December 2012. 24.14 am.Look at yourself.You still got your hands,your legs,your vision.You went well on the course you were afraid of.You found a job.You managed to save money and go for holidays.You managed to lose weight or win a project.You finally learnt to cook the meal you were struggling with or how to swim.The moment you are stuck in front of your laptop listening to vintage songs another person somewhere (in fact many other people) is having worse time than you.Should we always benchmark with those in plight? You truly do not know.As you don't know if you should always compete with the better ones.The only certain thing is that this is part of life and we cannot ignore it.
So let's make a convention.Be grateful for all those little goals you achieved, for all the things that were offered to you and all those people that stood by you.Appreciate the small pleasures of life and help those who lack them.And you will be happier!!Love and respect your body,mind and wit,be honest at least with yourself and add value to what you are.Then people will find you.And chances as well......
Now that I feel more relaxed,please let me replace in the text the word "you" with "I".
.................................everyone lives with their ghosts after all.
May new year dawn peace and balance to all of us.
Good morning and Merry Christmas to everybody!
