It's amazing how a tiny change in your outlook on life can determine how people will look at you, how people are able to relate to you and how many close relationships you're able to foster.
I've been battling a whole lot of negativity in the realms of my mind in 2011. I've just moved into a new place and trying to rake up friendships from here and there. Went to church, hung out after classes and the occasional drinking sessions. But somehow, I've always felt that I couldn't really fit in and probably never will. That people are just being fake whenever they have a smile plastered on their face. And being all too familiar with that awkward silence when both parties are trying to think of something to say.
But it was in the new year that I've decided to just say "No!" No to all the negativity, no to thinking that people are just being fake , no to feeling like no one'll ever understand me and just keep on saying no to the devil for he is the source of all things negative.
And since then, I've never felt so much happier and contented with my life. I'm now able to garner close friendships, share problems and give them advice, help them through their tough times and just wake up in the morning and the first thing I'll do is praise Him and thank Him for another wonderful day ahead!
Even tonight after CG, I'm getting an inch closer to building that relationship with my fellow members. All those thoughts about how people treat Asians/foreigners differently are now gone! And I only have Him to thank.
