Wake up Call
Recently I realized something…when you are in trouble and really need help, who will you turn to?family, frens, boyfriend, girlfriend? what if you are far away from your family and close friends? what if you don’t have someone special by your side that time? of course the ones around you that you know…although you barely know them for months…you call and get them but no one picks up the phone…how do you feel? helpless, hopeless, lonely, despair or frustrated?
Well, imagine..you were far away from your beloved family and close friends..one night, you were very sick till your body barely moved..tried to hold on till left no choice..the body asked the brain to get help..since the useful tool which was always with you would be the mighty human invention ever, the handphone…dial any numbers that came to your mind..the one you believe who can possible give you a hand..a ride to search the genius doctors..first number, no one picked up the phone…next number, just the ringtone…next again, same ringtone…till you are out of numbers…if you, what were you going to do??feeling helpless…bared with it and eventually you didn’t realize, you have already slept through the night without anyone knowing that you were in pain,crying for help, and what if your body seriously dying..you won’t know..they won’t know…died in the sleep?perfect…a peaceful end…
The moral of the story is prepare plan B…yes, we have friends around us…but will they be there when you need them the most? bestfriends/ soulmates won’t be around us all the time…you might say this only happens to those people who have bad attitude and unlikeable…hmm…hard to say…I just got my wake up call (you guys might think I’m one of those people who hated by others, up to you all how you guys want to judge me. that’s not my point anywhere)…I started to think about two words…independent and healthy…those two words are preventions for such situation to happen…we need to take good care of ourselves when our loved ones are not around us…because they won’t be there when we need them to look after us when we are sick…independent, never be dependable on others too much..when shit does happen, it might be too late..sound very exaggerating isn’t it…hehe…who knows???your friends who you call when you need help might unable to pick up the phone…they might be busy/ sleeping/ deaf/ their hp in silent mode…or they just don’t want to pick up your call…so…
finally, when there are miss calls from our friends, just have courtesy to call them back..they might be in trouble and need our help..if it’s just a joke or prank call,then you can give them a ‘good’ lecture..From the wake up call too, I manage to do reality check =)

To be able to exist peacefully within oneself is a blessing in many ways. If things aren’t right within yourself, how can things be right with others?

well said..but sometimes it’s not because things aren’t right within ourselves, it’s a challenge (I don’t call it problem) given by Him…as a reminder/wake up call…tell us not to take things for granted…everything happens for a reason…
