Willingness to change

I have promised God that I will live my life differently.

I admit my own shortcoming as a person.
And from now on, I will start to live with an open heart and humbleness to change.

I will leave all bad things I have done in my past and repent.

I have forgiven myself, and I hope people could forgive me.

I have never needed anyone when I stand strong for what I believe.

But there will be time when I hated everything in me.
and I have nothing but regret and desperation.

That is when I need people to ensure me that I deserve to be loved.
Even when I stop loving myself.

Who will be there for me then?
Who will be there for you then?

It’s been three years since the first time I left home,
but the thought of going back to Singapore still make me depressed.

I get scared that the people whom I love might get used to not having me around.

One more year to go.

On one Zen meditation a pupil shouted "Look , the flag moves!".
The senior pupil tell him " It’s not the flag, it’s the wind that moves!"
The Zen master said "Neither the flag nor the wind moves,
it’s your heart that moves.

One of my friends once said:

The first step to help the poor is
not to be poor yourself.
