Thought : Life experiences are cyclical

Just some serious rambling.

Why are we here on earth for ? I often ask myself that. To be happy? Can someone be constantly happy...I doubt. To be simple, well..go be a single cell organism, that is as simple as it gets.

Like economics, life experience is cyclical. Ups and downs, happiness and sadness, achievements and dissapointments, trust and betrayal,success and failures, advance and retreat, health and sickness, birth and death and it goes on. Gosh, this is like the yin and yang thingy. Although there is both positive and negative, but the magnitude is never balanced, hence a constant change.

My current mindset, go through all of them except death la..of course.

Be true to your goals, achieve it, be happy, cannot, then be sad. Then, wake up, and continue to seek. When it ends, it ends.

Be specific in goals too.

Life is temporary. your name , legacy and your life is what you left here when you leave.

So Henry, my life also tough...

I beg to differ.

Happiness is an option.

Simplicity is a mindset.

Fleeting emotions are shortlived, hence not even worth another second thinking about it.

BTW that cyclical illustrations u gave, i believe has little or nothing to do with Yin and Yang thing. =p

Goals. Be realistic.

One starts living when one is dead.

Life is never tough unless you want it to be or u want to feel it that way

Your perception, understanding and appreciation of yourself is far more important than anything else.

Carpi Diem! and of course, rest well.

Select to be happy. Can someone be sickly and be happy? How you know you are happy if you haven't experience sadness before ?

Simplicity is mindset ... sure. everything is a mindset.

Of cos it got nothing to do with yin and yang, just illustrating the indifference on both extreme sides of things.

Dream a little...for goals. realisitc will only ends you up for working for someone with a dream.

tough or not...got nothing to do how you feel. Just have to face it.

I agree with understanding and appreciation of yourself.

Let nature take its course and don't thinks so much when you can't find the answer...

Simplicity isn't easy to achiever too. Paradox of life.
