'Fingertalks' asks: How do you see life? Tangled or untangled?

Tangled ropes - man-made. We sure would know how to untangle the ropes. Whatever mess we are in, man-made or not, we sure know how to get out. It's either we choose to pass by or by pass. - Fingertalks

Growing up.

a) hard.

b) easy.

c) easier.

d) harder.

e) hardest.

f) easiest.

The choices above may characterize what we are feeling as we are growing up, yes, in growing up in life.

When we were young, we were guided by our parents, and mentors. We were taught how to read, write, eat, bath, compute, count, dance, sing, and other physical activities that we know of, and continue doing at this time. We were totally dependent until we managed to do things on our own. When we were already 18, we had the independence to do on our own. We chose our friends, we chose who to date with, we chose which course to tackle, we chose everything that we wanted to have in life. In our words, we had the freedom. We were carefree. As children and healthy teens growing up back then, we realized how much we enjoyed life! Did you? Or there may be some of us who really didn't enjoy living the life that we had when we were kids, teenagers, until such time that adult life passed us by or by passed us. Just like that - life has passed us by, or it has by passed us - without spark, without motivation, without enthusiasm at all to continue this journey of...LIVING life to the fullest.

Sad.

Really sad.

Wonder what would our ever-generous and loving God, the Father, and His Son feel if they see us this way - living, yet just merely existing? Can you imagine their faces, their bleeding hearts, their agonizing pains of seeing us in that state of life?

Wonder what would our loving parents, who gave us everything in their best capacities to make us happy and successful in life, feel if they knew that we didn't grow up as happy as we should be?

Of course, they would ask themselves «what happened, where did we go wrong?»

OK. Don't mind what others would say about us - for now. Focus on your self, our self.

Can you imagine what would yourself say to you when that other self sees you in a bad shape always? Zero happiness, grim chance to move on, unmindful, uncertain, depressed, alcoholic, workaholic, penniless, disastrous, aggressive, angry, oh yes, LIFELESS!

Well, what would that other self of yours feel for you?

Imagine it.

Imagine pricking your open wound with a pair of scissors. GASP! Painful, isn't it? It's what our other self feels if we are not taking good care of own self; if we are not taking charge of the life that we are supposed to take charge of, but let God be in control; if we are not having the best disposition to forgive our past, let go of the angst, let go of other people's wrongdoings to us, let go of the mistakes we did.

Life is too short, yes, we often have been told. Easier to listen at, harder to inculcate in our minds. WHY? It's because we are too stubborn! Too stubborn to let go and let GOD! Too stubborn to allow God to heal our open wounds! We thought we can do it on our own. We thought we just have to carry the baggage all the time. We thought we can do everything without surrendering first! NO. Surrender life's anxieties. Cry if you must. Wallow in pain, in anger, in frustration -- BUT JUST FOR A WHILE -- Remember, there's more to life than holding on to the grudges, than feeling a defeatist, than acting like a COWARD. No one is made a FAILURE unless we didn't fight to achieve SUCCESS. All those successful people out there have failed not just once, twice, but many more in life. The only difference that they have and some of us right now is the fact that they NEVER GIVE UP!

Would you give up that ability to smile and face life ahead of you? Would you give up that freedom to be your own person and discover the immense greatness that you're destined to be? Would you give up that freedom to celebrate life no matter how hard, easy, easier, harder, easiest, and hardest GROWING IN LIFE is? Can I hear a resounding NO? I hope.

Wake up! Don't just sit down and let time pass you by or life by pass you.

Life is just passing by. Be sure you have passed by with life as colorful as it can be. Every minute that passes by, we are facing two choices: either to let go or go with it in the most productive way we can. Which one would you choose?

Growing up is not easy nor hard. It is our thinking that makes it difficult. When we tend to over-analyze things, the more that things get complicated. Whenever we do some thinking of why our life is this messy or not, ask for Divine Guidance from God so He may give us the strength to think how we can overcome any difficulty and arise from the current state of life that we are in.

We still have freedom. Enjoy it! Be carefree!

PASS BY.

YES.

All problems and worries just pass by. Be sure to pass by with life in flying colors. You will never know when you hit the jackpot.

It shouldn't be:

BY PASS.

Don't allow life to bypass you. Go with it while you can, while you are still breathing, while you still enjoy life's up and downs. Charles Dubois said, «The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become»...

You are great! You are loved!
