Yesterday and Today.We reached the 2 very unique days of the year. Yesterday, and Today.
The Past and the Present pave the way for the future. Thus, yesterday and today, makes up the tomorrow that we hope for.
Yesterday we reflect, yesterday we remember and yesterday we take stock.
Today, we make resolutions! Today, we make choices and today we seize.
So, lets talk Yesterday. To begin.
Yesterday, i remember.
I remember the Places- Thailand, Hong Kong, San Francisco, Australia.
I remember the new faces- cheryl, renji, BSO, jackson, poh,shanker, Grace?
I recall the movements- into law, and outta comm.
I recall the days- yiming's bday, sec2camp, the SOLs, the Extras, the sentosa trips
I remember the old faces.
I remember the movies. Definitely, the movies. :)
And the gift of today. The Present.
Make no mistake, today we begin a path to greatness.
Today, we make things happen: we'll cross our boundaries and break our limits, we'll enter unfriendly terrain and we become Columbuses of our lives.
For all who can understand the potential this day holds for all of us- it is the day where epiphanies flow, where decisions inspire where resolutions pave the path for a Man to become fully alive!
Why? Because we hit a threshold. We're at another beginning. True, this beginning is not independent of yesterday, but we get to say 'hey, that was yesterday'. Today we get another shot.
What we lost yesterday, today's our day to fight back and retrieve. Today's brilliance will make up for yesterday's darkness. Today will heal yesterday's wounds.
Time is God's gift to the human race. And today, we stand in awe of that Present.
This gift, puts us in a certain position of strength. Why? Perspective. Yes, perspective.
Yesterday's disappointment and cynicism makes us cry our for a saviour. We hit a dead end, and yesterday morning, the air we heaved out was one of resignation.
Today, we put things in a proper perspective! I meant to use 'another perspective', but proper makes right.
This morning, a new breath of air hit us. Key word here is 'new'. Fresh, cool, illuminating and refreshing breath of morning atmosphere grips us. Because there is no longer a dead end- we find a door. More than that, we find that the door is unlocked.
What is that? Opportunity. Chance.
So what if people hurt us? So what if we feel stumbled by inadequacies? So what if we have lost?
Today we get up. We wipe off the blood and sweat, we take that breath of fresh air, tighten that clenched fist and continue the bout.
The day is pregnant with possibilities and with that, endless chances!
And with that, lets not ask whether we have, but lets instead do. We were made for beauty. As marianne williamson goes, this life will be a spectacle. And on this day, we grip our magnificence as we wait in glorious hope as we begin retrieving, we begin claiming and we begin believing; today is that Big Break. Today, we live.
