Giving up

Sometimes, you pine for something, knowing that it's beyond your reach, and knowing that it's impossible to get... Will you carry on pining for that something? Will you make it your goal, your ultimate aim to get it, to process it and to own it?

I am sure that problem is what everyone face. You envy ppl with that something that you want, you dream of processing it, but knowing that in reality, it's not possible.

Sometimes, giving it up is the best answer. I know that "giving up" persons are considered the "losers"... But hey, sometimes, giving something up because you know its impossible for it to happen, may be the best thing in life.

Imagine, you so badly want something, you pine, you whine, you scrimp and you dream of it, and it does not go the way that you want, the reality of it is going further and further away, you will end up feeling stressed, depressed to the point that you can have a mental breakdown.

Giving it up totally, in other way, can relax and calm a person. You don't give yourself stress. You live happier, more cheerful, and more meaningful life.

Yes, by giving it up, you will never get what you had dreamt of, but at least, you are happier, right?

This post is not asking ppl to giving up just like that. You should not be giving up without a fight. If you do, then you will be a loser. Fight to the best of your ability, do not go beyond it, and when you do, without success, at least, you give up with a clear sense of consious, and you will be more at ease letting it go past you, and you will be more relaxed and be happier.

And who knows? Once you "gave up", over time, you may have that capability to process that "something" that you had once pined for, and that "something" will pass you by, and you can just stretch out your hand and grasp it.

It's just like there's once i want to change my van into a car. I called up some second hand dealers to sell my van, i went to look at the prices of the cars that i want, i spoke to some salesman, i talk to some of my friends. And i keep thinking if i am able to support a car or not.

There's lots of things to thing about. You think about it when you are working, you think about it when you are eating, shitting, bathing, watching TV etc etc...

And i gave it up. I got a van, and i will carry on driving the van, and all worries, thoughts vanish.

I feel happier and more relaxed now, when there's one trouble less on my mind.
