Wings Or Walls

April is here! Can you believe it. It's the 4th month of the year and time is flying very very... Alrighty. Well March went by pretty okay-ey in my opinion somehow. Anyway yes I am still determined to write 10 posts every month so another new month, another new challenge! But bring it on baby, we can do it. Today was a rainy Saturday. I really really wish I can see some blue sky and sunshine. Was reading the news about how March will be a very wet month, and April will mark the beginning of the dry season. Yes about the first part, not sure of the latter!

I just hope that last year's dry spell will not repeat itself. It's very very annoying hah.

The weather is as predictable as life. So, it's super unpredictable haha. Also added with global warming, the weather can be pretty weird. I really have a love-hate relationship with the weather. But like what I learned last year, it's best to keep the weather as the weather, and work around it. Instead of feeling annoyed and stressed about how weird it is. Because mother nature knows best.

Today I came up with a thought that's kind of interesting. 

"Our mind is a beautifully terrifying thing. 
It can give you wings and set you free, 
or build walls to keep you imprisoned."

Sometimes we believe in something so strongly, that we seem to forget every other thing and really keep us imprisoned with that belief. That thought, keeps us away from knowing the truth and keeps us away from the revelation of other things. On the other hand, sometimes we believe in a thought that sets us free, that become a key to open doors that are closed for a very long time. 

Our mind is a very powerful thing, and I've experienced this in my 24 years of existence. How a person's mind can shape his/her world. And I think this is the whole purpose of meditation is to train our mind. For an untrained mind will create wings and build walls as and when they want, but a trained mine will do so at the right place and at the right time. Mindfulness, is the key!

Isn't it scary when you think about how some thoughts will never leave your mind? They are being trapped inside with nowhere to go. And at the same time it's wonderful to know that some thoughts can set you free forever. So be careful with your thoughts, and your mind. They are beautifully terrifying.
