it took me back to the places when sunshine seemed to have shined all the way down to my heart to recall one of the nicest quotes i've ever heard in my life and this wise-old-man whispered in my ear and said this....
"son, remember that people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions"
i was stunned, silenced by the meaning of this sentence and absorbed to the facts that this sentence was just too right by all means
then he continued as i was still in mesmerized stage by the heat of the moment, and said...
"son, the only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose"
i was almost close to tears as i'd been searching all of my life to find true happiness and in this wise-old-man i found it, and i found it in bali, a heaven on earth somewhere above uluwatu but below dreamland
and after grabbing my full awareness i started seeing this life is larger scale, started thinking of others whom i could do in helping them reaching their dreams by sponsoring, encouraging and leading them
because, in truth, there is ton of happiness in seeing others happy because of us
years after i met this wise-old-man, now i start believing to exist just for yourself is meaningless and we shall pursue for the most satisfaction by relating to some greater purposes in life, something greater than ourself, namely, by helping others -less fortunate ones- to realise their dreams
perhaps, as tuesday falls on in panache, i would end this up by saying "it is not how much one makes but to what purpose one spends in this life" that matters most our happiness
do you think so?
have a splendid tuesday, everyone!
