Personal Truth

The glaring sunlight piercing through the deep blue sky ,the gentle breeze caressing my cheek ,and the picturesque,scenic nature's wonders that look right through my eyes ,into my heart . It's amazing how one's perspective can change just by walking around one's neighbourhood.

All these little yet significant things that I wouldn't have noticed had I drove out . Today, being the mundane Sunday morning ,I decided to make that little effort to get out from my lazy chair and to walk out to eat.

It has been a long time since I last walked around my area.Walking is a wonderful activity you know, especially when the surrounding environment where you are walking/jogging in are a peeaceful neighbourhood surrounded with beautiful wonders of nature.Staring at the serene skies, noticing how those shapeless clouds slowly moving, grouping to form something . Just by doing that , my mind is cleared of all the troubles and worries.Here are some pictures taken around my neighbourhood.



Recently,I saw an article about personal truth.What is personal truth ? Personal truth is something that your whole self-heart,body,soul,and brain- recognises and accept as an universal truth.Here's an excerpt from the article .

" For instance, many people's personal truth might be " There's nothing better to alleviate stress than a good,deep,sleep ",while some people may opt for " nothing reduces stress like a good food .

One great truth,handed down from the Romans , is "This,too,will pass" or as Kipling put it ,we have to deal with triumph and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same ".

The one sure thing,the one bedrock truth in life,is that everything changes.Now, do you know your own personal truths yet?

I know you must have some of your own ."when in doubt " is a good phrase to use to uproot a truth that will help you. When in doubt ,find and eat some great food.When in doubt,remain silent . When in doubt, go to bed and sleep.When in doubt , talk about it.

And one of my favourites is " When in doubt, stop and say thank you for something, anything " No matter how dark life feels, there is always something to be gratful for , and I know that's true . "
-except from the Star's article.

It differs from people to people.There are so many varieties of them , but well , you get the idea of it now don't you ? :) Basically , personal truths are things that you know it to be true and full heartedly believe in it.It's useful to remind ourselves how much we do know,and sobering to realise that even when we do know something, we don't always act on it .

I believe that procrastination is the thief of time. But still I do little in avoiding the bad influences of procrastination.These personal truths are useful as they serve as a reminder and guidelines in life to help us move forward, and I think it's important that people realise its existence :) .

Here are some of my list of personal truths :
1) Great songs cheer me up at any time of the day :D
2)Just being alone in a quiet, tranquil ,cosy environment , clears my mind and relaxes me
3)Saying that I will play just one dota game and spend the rest of my day studying is nonsensical.
4) same goes to just switching on computer to go online for awhile and spend the rest studying. Nonsense.
5)It takes time to unlearn bad habits and keep the new good habits . Without motivation,it could never have been possible.
6) No one can stay happy or sad all the time , it's just that everyone's transition time to change from one mood to another varies. :D

What's your personal truths ? :)
