Beauty of rain - analogy to our life

It reminds me of the journey of our life. As I was driving to Kuala Trengganu, the weather changes every 5 minutes. Sunny, raining and light drizzle, heavy rain, middle rain.

Light at the end of the tunnel

Driving at early morning and completely dark, with each time the car comes from behind and pass me. it is like a light at the end of the tunnel. then gets brighter and brighter, After that slowly ease off. like our life

Living years

As I was driving to Kuala Trengganu, I was listening to the song called " The LIving Years". I listened to this song years ago. At that time, the song does not mean anything. But I wish I have pay more attention to it. It starts with " Every generation blame the one before....". How true for many people. We do it consciously or subconsciously implanted into their minds.

I blame the parents, I blamed the boss, I blamed the situations, I blamed the environment.. etc, etc..Everything and everyone except myself. Later in life, I asked myself "what do I do about it?".

Through the years, I learned that if i want to change anything, I need to change myself because I cannot change others.

The song goes on to talk about the regret he has with the father ......

" I was not there that morning when my father passed away. Didnt get to tell him all the things I have to say. Think I caught his spirit later that same year. Sure I heard his echo in my newborn baby. Just wish i could have told him in the living years.."

Recently, a 12 year old boy reminded me not to wait until it is too late to spend time with our love ones and to tell them we love them. In his word "WHY WAIT"? Isn't this an excellent advice? A 12 years old knows this, so what about us who are older than this age?

I always feel there will be time. When I am retired, when I have the money, when I am not so tired... when this.. when that... The statement should be "Why not NOW?" Do we have to wait before someone kicks us in our butt or wait for something to happen before we realise it is too late and regret it. Then would be I wish I have done this, I wish I have done that...And similarly with our dreams. I sure do not want to wait until I am old and sit at my rocking chair, thinking and wishing I have done all I want to do, wish I have persued my dreams..

If you got the time, do listen to this beautiful song. I hope it will inspire you as it does to me...
