Day 1 - Planning for the Unplanned

Today is day 1 of my life changing feat, and mind you it did not go the way I expected it to. Then again, what did I expect to start with? It actually went the way I am surprised with.

It's not how you start a race, it's how you end it.

The beginning of the day was not a very fruitful one, leaving me with more questions and more guilt. But as the day progressed, I discovered not only more of myself, I discovered ideas and concepts of the truth. At the end of the day, I began to surface some of those questions that I have always meditated on in hopes of getting them answered. But, with those questions came unplanned plans of which I am able to utilize.

Suddenly, I start to worry whether I have enough time to actually complete all my plans, instead of initially worrying about how to spend all that unused time.

Train of thoughts:

1. People are afraid to ask difficult questions because they are afraid of the difficult answers they might get. In reality, we aren't fearful of the responses, we are fearful of our reaction to their responses.
2. People say that a listening ear is tough to obtain. In reality, the rarest finding is a person who is willing to spill, to disclose more of themselves because they trust you.
3. Trust is not earned, it is given based on faith.
4. When people lock their doors, we are given the key to unlock it, it is just whether we can overcome our fear of being ridiculed to turn the key.
5. There are things that you don't need to understand for them to work. If you have never heard of gravity, it would still affect you. If you have heard of gravity, but never believed in it, it will still affect you. Why choose to not believe when believing doesn't make you lose anything?
6. Everyone have mountains to climb in their life. Yet, we wonder how some people climb their mountain so much that it has flattened. What happened in their climb that didn't happen in ours? What didn't happen in their climb that happened to ours?
7. Some people say they can't make their relationship based on reward. However, we have to realize that people might provide for us because they are a blessing, not participating in a rewarding relationship. A genuine friend can never be defined by what you can get, but what you can give.
