Yesterday, I went to the last session of a parish renewal seminar. The program taught us how to get in touch with divine being. There are a few things that really caught my heart and I learnt and saw my life differently because of them.
The first one is that in this life we have to have goals. This might sound simple and easily understand, but sometimes we forget this. At one time, we can have many goals in different areas and in order to be a successful "human being" ( as it is said by Father Justin), we have to be able to balance our goals. More specifically, what I get from this is that the theory also applies to relationship. In a relationship, two people are trying to fit into each other life's, but yet they are two different people with different backgrounds and importantly goals. The only way to make the relationship successful is to have the same goals. When you have the same goals, then you can work to achive them together. Without common goals, a couple will only get further apart from each other and thus resulting in breaking up.
The second one is positive attitude. It might sound simple to just say it, but tell you truly that it is extremely hard to do. I think the most important things are to value yourself and realised that you are unique and also to think positively about others. It is really hard to do. There was one time when I did it successfully. I learnt how to see only the good things in people. Well, not completely ignoring their bads, but trying to tell myself that even though they have their bads, they are still beautiful and unique in their own ways. I did it BEFORE, but for some reasons, I am failed now. I changed and started to see things negatively. It is not good, but it happened to me and from this seminar, I realised of what I did. I turned myself in the wrong direction. Now, I want to turn it back. To think positively about others.
The third one is to love. Your life is not about being right but about loving. This caught my heart too and I realised that I was always trying to be right and concentrating on that within my family, within my friends circle and even in my past relationship. When I was doing that, I forgot to love them. I was concentrating on putting my ideas up and telling them that mine are the correct ones. I forgot that I am supposed to love them, not to force my ideas on them.
Thinking back about these, I realised that there are a lot of things that I wish I can change, but they are my past now and I cannot turn back. The only way I can correct myself is to turn myself into the right way and hopefully everything will be better.

Nobody is perfect. The best we can do is realise our mistakes and try to be better in the future. The fact that you realise this is great and the fact that you share this with us is even better. It gives us the chance to better ourselves too.
