Elasticity

Have you ever.....
-> felt so keen to share your experiences to others around you, but after you did it, you just felt bad?
-> felt so keen to voice out your thoughts, but after you did it, you just felt you have create the defensiveness in others?
-> felt so enthusiatic to organisze some activities, but after you voice it out, you just get pour cold water instead of the thrill that you expect they should felt?

And your inner thoughts tell you...
--> "Why they like that one!!!!!!....well, i just can't please everyone!!!!!!"
--> "so hurt, nobody even understand me"
--> "Why are you so arrogant? you should have keep quiet instead of sharing"
--> "really, you should just keep quiet, low profile..."
--> "ppl are self centered, they just care about you when you earn success......."
--> "So disappointed with life.. i am just seems always face rejection...."
... so on and on....

And, this morning, just as i was thinking that way... praying to God.. walking out my door.. A sudden thought hit me.
"Where is the perseverance?"

and soon...... "It's normal that you felt that way, you just have to keep moving on, keep pressing forward, instead of sitting there and grumble about the rejection, hurt by it..dwell in it.."

right after.. when i was driving.. "The response you sense from others, often are correct. It is just the reality"
--> "Why they like that one!!!!!!....well, i just can't please everyone!!!!!!" --> YES, for SURE, you can't!!
"so hurt, nobody even understand me"--> YES, they just don't understand you!!! Everyone is different.
"Why are you so arrogant? you should have keep quiet instead of sharing"--> YES, you are just being arrogant sometimes, boasting about your achievement that you desperately wish that people will admire.. And YES, sometimes, you should just keep QUIET!!!
"really, you should just keep quiet, low profile..." --> YES!! You should!!
"ppl are self centered, they just care about you when you earn success......."--> YES, this is a FACT too!!
"So disappointed with life.. i am just seems always face rejection...."--> YES, indeed, you feel it.

and, as i drive further................
> "you felt that, because people are different. You get comfortable with those that having the same character with you, and you just get resentment when you are with those that are not behaving the same way you expect them to behave. Well, take heart, they just felt the same about you too! It is when you are out of your comfort zone that you grow the most. The same comfort zone when you thought about your career, your life..etc.. You are facing the same OUT-OF-COMFORT-ZONE feeling you are feeling when you mix with different type of people........."
> "You need to understand.. the same thought of yours that wish that people should behave the same way you expected, are in their mind too! "
> "You need to change? to become more like them?"
> " ah.. NO!!!......i don't want to be like them."
> "be flexible...... You don't need to be like them, you just need to learn, to be able to understand that they are feeling the same way you do, that they are expecting the reaction that they expected"
> "be quiet at times, be gentle at times, be talkative at times, be sensitive at times, be aggreative at times, be confident at times, joke at times, be humorous at times, ......."
> "express all the feelings......... just choose the right one at the right time......be open to learn..."

and it come to a conclusion..
"BE ELASTIC! "

something to ponder each day i guess. ;)
