free will and resilience

i had a movie marathon last night. i watched oscar triumphant the king's speech, followed by matt damon's the adjustment bureau. there's no doubt that colin firth was sublime and superb. they the whole crew deserved the oscar. matt's twisting love story with emily blunt was not disappointing either. it's good in its own way. i like it too. well, not as good as similar lost and found romantic comedy love story in the likes of serendipity or stardust, but surely it gave me the fruitful thoughts after the movie.

i learned that, justin bieber's slogan never say never is so true from both movies. wherever there's a will, sure there will be a way. free will is so precious that only we mortals have the luxury to think, decide and use our emotional feelings on almost anything. it's a privilege, really.

in my quest fighting procrastination, i must never yield on tempting voices to sit back and waste time. i must hold on to my will for success. and success is a product of sacrifices and hard work. there's no short cut. i've read so many successful stories of successful people, and most of them have a few traits in common, maximum time capitalization and of course, resilience. they didn't wait. they acted. immediately. and when they stumbled, they never gave up.

so, i've found out my weakness against time capitalization. i lack the sense of urgency. in most things. so i really need to work on it. everybody does. even the great king george the sixth worked on his stammer. and he worked hard. no exception. so do i. i have to. if i want to achieve whatever my goals are. i don't want to dwell on past glories. move on and work hard.

life is hard. life consumes us. life requires us to make sacrifices. it's not easy. well, nobody says it was easy. and surely, nobody says it's going to be this hard. and now, many things are urgent.
