The new year,
full of surprises and many unknown.
Perhaps perhaps,
evil or mischief was waiting to be unfold.
Now,
past events and festives has marked its significance
Some that may never wished to be brought up,
while some that often plays at the back of your head
and often a gesture/action/word could send it racing..

So we could never stop time
And time never waits.
Forever,the hands of the clock would go round,
every second,
every minute,
every hour.
It's time, to be ALIVE.
Don't wait.
You tell yourself to be alive when you get to college
or after getting married.
But why wait?
Be alive and live life to the fullest.

People have power,happiness and peace.
But often, when they get connected to worry or stress,
they start looking everywhere for it
when its already what they have and coud not be taken away.
Find that inner peace.
"Nothing can bring us lasting happiness.
But we have that already if we simply quite down
the mind and body
enough to experience more of an inner sense of peace,
self-worth and self-esteem,
one that comes from not getting or from doing but simply from being."
That is happiness.
'once you make connection between stress and why,
the stress would turn into your teacher instead of being your enemy"

Fill you bowl to the brim
and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife
and it will blunt.
Chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench.
Care about people's approval
and you will be their prisoner.
Do your work,then step back.
The only path to serenity.
----Tao Te Ching,written over 4000 years ago,

If we get power from ourselves,
no one would take it away.
Real power is realized.
"No one has power over us unless they have something we think we need."
If someone says:"If you don't do what i want,then i won't give you this,"
you could reply, "fine i don't need that"
Then he of she has less power over you.
The more inwardly defined you are,
the less you need.
The more power you'll have.
