Rule #5: Don't force things to happen and people to stay
On things:
What's meant to be will be.
We usually do our best to have this outcome or that outcome. We want things to happen the way we want them to.
But sometimes, it really is just not it. No matter how hard we try, we should accept that it really is not for you or it is not the right time yet.
'I did my best but I guess my best wasn't good enough', we can blame it to that line but sometimes it's just not meant to be.
Sometimes, doors close for us because there is a possibility that whatever is inside will only destroy us. Or if not, you are not yet ready to enter and face the challenges behind that door.
God wants the best for us. He will only give us problems which we can solve. He will never bring us to a battle which is not for us.
Right now, if a door closed, we may not know the reason but believe me, one day, you'll be thankful that you never have to cross that kind of road.
On people:
There are two kinds of people that you will encounter in this lifetime.
The people who will leave memories and the people who will leave lessons.
There are people who will give you memories to keep and there are also people who will give you lessons to learn. Some, both.
Each person whom you meet has a role to play in your life, whether a minor or a major one. Each of them completes your journey of life.
People come and go. People stay and leave.
Sometimes, we want someone to stay with us too much that we force him or her. But remember that a person who truly loves you will always be willing to stay with you whether you tell them or not.
But no one will be with you forever except for yourself. Time will come your family, friends or even the one who told you that they will stay won't be with you. They will also have to live their own lives just like you.
Yes, they didn't stay physically but for sure they have you in their hearts just like how you have them in yours.
And at the end of the day, you are just like any of them. You can always be a part of someone's life whether to leave a memory or a lesson.
