Greener pasture; to step over or not?

There was a farm looked well by the farmer John, he feeds, care and nurture the animals in his farm, giving them the best he can offer and in return the animals to harvest the corps for him and provide his livelihood. The animals John can only afford are Chuck the Chicken, Porky the Pig, Connie the Cow and Shane the sheep, these few animals were always complaining about the work they need to do except Shane who love the farm and farmer John.

Chuck:" Why are we always working, always laying eggs for farmer john! I don't want to work, I want to move on to the other farm where the grass is greener and there are more potential mates for me over there!"

Porky:" Yeah that's right i just want to lay in the mud all day long like the pigs over on the other farm, and not work my back off over this side and becoming the farmers milking machine!"

Connie:" Yeah why cant i just eat grass all day long like the cows over on the other side and enjoy the sunset and sunrise without needing to strap a plow on my back!"

Shane:" I don't know about you guys, but i like it here, farmer john always feed me, take cares of me, loves me and always give me the best he can offer and in return i just need to keep his crops safe from rodents, I don't mind a bit."

Chuck:" Oh you silly sheep, look around you, your 19 years old and your still single, look over the other side, look at how happy the other sheep are on the other farm, being in a pack, eating grass all day, starting a family and enjoying the company they have. YOU MY DEAR SHEEP! have been always hanging out with us and haven even had a mate, i think its time you wake up and see the greener grass!"

Porky:" OINK! OINK! that's right silly sheep, I've seen you looking over at the pretty lambs the other side, don't you want to go over and mix around or stay here your whole life and watch crops grow, OINK! OINK!"

Connie:" MOO! They are right shane, we are all still sinlge and the farmer john wont even provide us with friends and family, we will all die lonesome here without a family and love one! I think its time we jump the fence and join the other farm!"

Shane:" Mehhh! i don't know, farmer john is so poor, yet he still gives us the best he can provide and if we run, he wont be able to run his farm any longer if we jump the fence over to the other farm, i still want to stay."

That night itself, when farmer John was sound asleep in his bed. Chuck, Connie and Porky jump the fence and left the farm to join the other farm which they say is better then their own farm without waking up Shane as well.

The next morning, Shane woke up and saw that all his friends have left him, Shane panicked and ran to the fence.

Shane:" MEHH! MEHH! OH NO! all my friends have left me to join the other farm, what should I do?! should i join them but i can't just leave poor farmer john like that! OH MEHH! what do i do?! what do i do?!

In all of the confusion, Shane just sat at the fence all day long, thinking whether he should join his friend on th greener side of the grass or stay with his beloved farmer john?

Shane:" MEHH! I have been sitting here all day long! If i stay here, i'll be all lonely and die a lonely sheep, i'll have no family, no love life, no kids! But if i jump over who knows whether they will accept me as part of the pack?! OH WHAT DO I DO?! MEHH!

Farmer John was looking around for his beloved animals all day long until sunset when he found shane sitting on the fence, looking confuse and feeling lost....

This story has no ending to it, I would leave it up to you to end the story, how you end it will determine what type of personality you hold but of course its not 100% accurate. And of course whether or not shane jumps the fence is up to you, i am sure if you are person who can read between the line, you can definitely put yourself in the same situation as well.

This is how i feel right now even this month itself, i am feeling lost in my own place, i look at the other place, it looks great with abundant chances, new friends and opporutnity in life but yet on the other hand if i leave my place, will they accept me, is it true whatever i see will become reality or am i just living the fantasy of the grass is greener on the other side and end up falling hard?

Is the grass greener on the other side? Should i take the jump and cross the fence?

Little things that makes life go up and down like a roller coaster

Its been a super duper long time since i blog already,haha

Well today i was just surfing the net when i saw my blog and the title it write there
"THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE"

That's when it stumbled upon how little things in life can really change the way we live our life.

One thing for sure now is that being a christian, its really a joyous experience but life is not a bed of roses, so i can confess there have been time where days are really had to get by, there is so much insecurity, so much stress, so much things uncertain, things which would make my mind go crazy but at the end of the day i see myself on my knees crying and praying to God to lift me up from these burdens and I thank God there was never once He abandon me. Another thing would be fasting and praying, we always expect outcomes and result regarding to our prayer needs but ultimately I've got to learn to receive blessings according to His will. Such thing as a religion can make such a difference in my Life, being a naughty boy to a young gentleman comes a long way for me.

Also one thing that certainly everyone if not most can agree with me is the little thing called "love" we can never be sure of it or the opposite gender as well but one things I've learn is that it takes time, patience, understanding, self sacrifice, more patience and integrity. I am never a pro at relationships but one thing is that it changes a man inside out but it is also suppose to change your relationship with GOD.

Not forgetting as well, our social life, school, work, studies, siblings, family, friends; you name it but most of the time we tend to neglect the privileges we have in life, me myself including always complaining about everything when i fail to look at the bigger picture,
"Behind every flaw is a Beauty waiting to be discover"

Recently i also discovered how important a small part our body can be as well, like my ankle which i just sprain last Friday, little did i knew this small fraction of the feet can cause problems to me walking and ultimately making me bed ridden. so i would take extra precaution next time when playing any sports activity as to now harm any body parts, because of my sprain ankle, i cannot do so many things, i cant drive my car, i have to limp around, i cant walk much, i cant go the gym to work out, i cant run, jump, sprint, squat or even do simple push up exercise or else i would tear the muscles near the nut.

So peps at the end of the day, i realize my ultimate goal of writing this post is to remind you how important little things in our life can be and that we should not miss out the opportunity to live life out around the things in our life. Instead of complaining about everything, i challenge you all to clear your mind and try for once living life and enjoying every moment of it, instead of frowning and giving a sad face, try smiling and laughing more, Haha :) God bless all of your
