The 12-year-old you …..
Do you still remember what were you thinking when you were a 12-year-old? Maybe you were thinking what would it be like, when you grew up to be an adult one day? With all the freedom that you would have, you would think that sky would be your limit. And each passing day, you would pray that, the day would come for you to become an adult and take on the world.
Well, you are most probably an adult now (don’t think my blog is suitable for kids). So what’s next? Is being an adult really that fun? Are you being troubled by all the work stress, politics, family issues and most importantly money problem? Do you have the feeling that….how nice…if you can reverse the time and be a kid again? Trouble free life ~
The thing is, nobody can turn back time. Not until someone comes out with a time machine that works….but even then, it might not be a good thing. So what you can do now, is to live in the moment. Do what you have to do NOW. You can no longer be the 12-year-old you. Yeap, no point complaining how nice it would be if you can live as carefree as the 12-year-old you.
Also…bear in mind that….when you were 12-year-old….you wanted to be an adult….and when you are an adult…you look back and think of all the nice time you had back then. Now my question to you is….20 years down the road, when you are 40, 50 or 60….do you think you will look back at the you NOW and think “how nice if I can reverse back the time…and be the me back then…and work hard enough to pursue my dreams….and treat everyone around me kindly” ?
Think about it.

I think the key thing is not to focus our energy on something that we cannot change. I used to have this problem especially when I was young but now is getting better.

The most important thing to overcome this “problem” is to live in the moment, I guess….not to think of all your life’s problems at once and enjoy/deal with the moment as it comes.
