A Good Mother, She is…

She's a young single mother, blessed with two active boys. When I first knew her, little did I know that I would have played a part (albeit small) in helping her to change her life, for the better. The way she single-handedly manage the boys just never cease to amaze us. Abang has taken a liking to Amir and adik to me. Looking at their cute innocent faces, we felt compelled to show their mother a way that can lead to a better life for them. It was heart-breaking to see her struggling to take that step, yet she trudged up, looking ahead at the goals she set herself, never losing sight of them. Her journey has just begun and so long as she remembers why she took to this road, she'll reach her destination. I pray that the others will follow suit for I know this path will bring us to greater heights in life and when it is travelled together, the journey is much more meaningful.

I am lucky to have her as a friend. I can only wish I could be as strong.

The Champions That We Are…

Everyone knows we are all born champions. I don't need to go into details on how lest people should feel that their intelligence is being insulted. However, as strong as we were before, we are now just mere weaklings, taking life's challenges without fervour. Have we ever stopped and think why we have become so wasted? Some say, yeah life does that to you, some would blame everyone but the one person that is truly guilty, some would accept it as their fate. And when an opportunity presents itself before us, we let it pass, blinded by our indifference & anger. Taking charge of one's life is not an easy undertaking, especially when we've been conditioned for ages to let others boss us around. But take charge we must for the choices it gives the freedom it brings and the happiness that entails.

For my precious ones that are walking this line with me, let us not forget the dreams before us.

Three of the precious ones...
