I have been watching Grey’s Anatomy and one phrase struck with me when the Hospital Chief Webber said this to a man who was stuck and hurt in an ambulance in an accident :
“Fear is good. When you have fear, it means that you have something to lose…”
I did not think of it that way. But it’s true. When you have fear, whether is it fear of losing, fear of heights, fear of dying etc. it means that you have something good and you are afraid of losing…
Christmas is celebrated everywhere ( well, almost I believe )… The reason why Christmas is so celebrated I guess is because of the fact that retailers love Christmas.
It means that people have to go out to shop and buy presents! And this means more $$$ for the merchants. Thus you can see all the shopping malls decked out in Christmas cheery and an almost unbelievable number sales from every shop. And boy, the number of people out to shop is really almost scary… trying to get from point A to point B is almost like fighting through war zone, you can’t take one step without having to stop the next. It’s a chore just to get to the other place…
I just got a link from a friend of a yoga demo by one of the teachers in my studio, Kenny. He’s an amazing yogi, strength and flexibility and an open heart. It’s always an inspiration to watch other yogis!
Finally, after almost a year since I took the basic rock climbing class, I got a chance to be “back with the wall”. Yesterday was a day to start panicking about what did I learn during my basic rock climbing class. There I was, scratching my head over the terms used, the equipment used and how to tie the infamous double 8 knot and then of course, how to belay someone. It’s incredible how one can forget everything so fast when you don’t use it!
It was almost embarrassing to say I am level 1 climber. Bah! *I cower in shame… *
As the end of the year draws near yet again, one wonders why time whizzes past you so fast… unbelievable.
Looking back, what have progress have I made? What insights did I have?
One of the most important thing or lesson I’ve learnt is that you cannot control others. The only one you can control is yourself. Other than that, it is entirely beyond your control.
