Went East Coast with my good friend, Charlene today. And it was afternoon..the sun, needless to say, is in it's perfect condition. Haha.
And so, 2 of us, went cycling and had fun at the seaside. I enjoyed a lot honestly. And when I got home, I learnt everything has its price. I got super sun tanned..my face and hands are red..super red.. =_= cool huh?
Realised I got sun tanned when i was bathing.. =_=
Damn..cant really see the red colour in this photo..
Er..the contrast..lousy photo, yea..I lazy take a better one.
Jogging? What more to say about jogging? Everyone knows that. I'm just gonna list out the benefits of it which again, everyone is quite familiar with it, I believe.
1. It is the most efficient way of achieving fitness through cardiovascular exercise and burns more calories because it is a high impact exercise.
2. The psychological benefits of jogging include confidence and character building, and a boost in attitude ( according to what I had researched on ) Jogging also teaches important lessons of learning to accept defeat and rising to the next challenge with optimism and hope, and clear obstacles. It gives a feeling of empowerment and freedom from knowing you are strong.
3. Jogging also gives u relief from stress as u solve problems as u jog along. You can also get over your anger and aggression. In this manner, jogging is also responsible for training the mind and making u focus and be strong in other areas of life.
So, jogging gives u all-round benefits of mind and body, something u cannot shy away from.
Ok. Stop the bullshitting now. Just take your sneakers or running shoes or whatever u can put it on ur feet and start running now. GO!
The heart that breaks open can contain the whole universe. - Joanna Macy, writer and teacher (1929- )
When I first read that quote I thought "Oh, No, another of those namby-pamby, wishy-washy, 'the world's a beautiful place' kind of fluff stuff."
Then I thought about people with broken hearts. That led inevitably to thinking about people whose hearts apparently had never broken.
That moved me to the startling conclusion that I have never met a person who has not suffered from a broken heart who I have liked. They're cold, unfeeling. They care little for anyone else, unless the other person can do something to help them or because it's their duty and it will make them look good.
People whose hearts have been broken open--usually more than once--so they're never sure they will be able to piece their lives back together again, they care about others. They're sometimes painful to be around too because they want others to avoid having their hearts broken (little knowing how counter-productive that is to building stability and sensitivity in young people). But they care and they show it.
People whose hearts have been broken are better listeners, especially to others who have problems. They have been there and know that often just listening is the best form of comforting for someone in great need.
They need to be learners more than those whose hearts have never been broken. Rock-hearted people believe they already know as much as they need to know, find learning from someone else humiliating, believe that nothing is true unless it conforms to their personal life experience.
Those whose hearts have been broken know they will never know enough. They know they didn't know enough to prevent their heart from being broken, so they had better learn more. They never learn the secret (and they shouldn't) but they learn a great deal more along the way. Broken hearted people know how to trust, even if it hurts them. Rock hearts never trust anyone fully, which makes them shallow people.
Heart-healed people know how to smile in such a way that they convey both that they feel good and that they want others to share what they feel. They appreciate being happy because they know it never lasts. They also eventually learn that unhappiness never lasts. Life is a cycle of ups and downs and the survivors live it more fully.
Heartbreak survivors learn that emotions work like a pendulum, the farther they swing to the negative, the greater the potential they have for their emotions to swing the same distance toward happiness, peace and contentment. Hard hearted people may not get angry much, but they don't have the capacity to enjoy life to the fullest either. They believe that happiness can be bought with money and delight in the acquisition of it.
Those with unbroken hearts like to be bosses because they don't have the ability to be sensitive to the things that common people enjoy and appreciate. They think they are whole people because they have no experience with being other than like rocks. They believe they are the smart ones and those who get their hearts broken are simply careless with their emotions, that are needless anyway.
I find it easy to like people whose heart has been broken. We share much in common, including our ability to survive. I wouldn't care if I never met people whose heart has never been broken.
Have you ever wondered about why some kids are so very different from other kids? It's not just their natures. Part of it is that some kids have never had their hearts broken (yet) so they act like the child version of adult rock hearts. A broken heart is not something you wish on a child, but it makes them different people who live different lives because of it.
Life changes when you get your heart broken. It's a tough experience, but no one ever promised us that life would be grand. At least they shouldn't have because it's not. We grow when we survive the worst that life has to throw at us.
People whose hearts have been broken have a greater capacity for life. But you could never convince the rock hearts of that.
