Love is not blind, rather love is BLINDING.
We only see what our hearts want to see.
It impairs our heads to think,
and let our mindless hearts take over.
It covers up the harsh reality,
and hides the painful truth.
Love is blinding, deafening,
and most of all,
NUMBING.

Simple Yet Thought Provoking

A good friend sent this text message to me and it got me thinking...

If you want to have what you've never had, then you must do what you've never done. Because if you only do what you've always been doing, you will only have what you've been having.

Pretty simple, right? Yeah... Yeah right!

People have the tendency to want more than what they already have. The concept of contentment isn't that well-grasped. More money. More time. More friends. More love. More everything!

Reminds me of what Professor Dumbledore said to Harry Potter about the Mirror of Erised: The happiest man on earth will stand in front of that mirror and see himself as he is.

Is there such a person? What will you see when you stand in front of that mirror? What is your deepest desire? Me? I'd be a total hypocrite if I say that I'd see myself as I am today. Yes, I am happy but having more of some things wouldn't be so bad.

Well, come to think of it, what is so wrong with wanting more? Actually, absolutely NOTHING. It's not bad to want better things for yourself and for the people you love. It's not bad to dream and work hard for a better life. The right or wrong, the good or bad - it only lies on HOW you get those better things, the better life. And besides, I'm too young to be contented. There's more to life than this! Haha.

So, what does it take? What do we have to do to get something we've never had? To achieve something we've never achieved?

Well, if I knew the answer to that then it wouldn't be something I've NEVER had, right? All I know is that, I have to do SOMETHING, something DIFFERENT.

If you want to have what you've never had, then you must do what you've never done.

Totally makes sense.
