Come on Everypon- eh I mean everybody smile smile smile.

I'm not going to write anything today. Pinkie Pie explains everything I wanted to write today.

Your allies like it and your enemies hate it.

Don't mind the ponies.

Your story is not the only story out there

I woke up this morning to see this video on my Facebook.

http://truthseekerdaily.com/2013/10/one-of-the-most-powerful-videos-you-will-ever-see/

The truth is, we don't know what will happen tomorrow. Each person is an author for their own lives but we cannot control everything around us. Each person writes their story with events occurring.

Now think about your story. If something were to happen to you tomorrow, your story would end. However, your story is not the only story that exists. There are people around you that also have a story to write themselves. This ranges from loved ones, to complete strangers, as we saw in that video.

This is one reason I never got why people committed suicide. Effectively, we are not only in our own story, but other's as well. If we end our own story, we still negatively effect the story of others around us. As you saw in that video, even complete strangers may play an important role to keep the story longer.

Of course, there are some that aim to be the villain in your own story.That's ok. Every story needs some good guys and bad guys. If everyone was a good guy, the story would be boring to read. Of course, if everyone was a bad guy it would probably be too depressing to read.

The point is if you are ever feeling down and that there are more bad guys than good in your story, there will still be some allies that are or will be alongside you somewhere in the future. The video itself showed that there are some with the goodwill to help out. The villains of your story is not a reason to end it, it should make the story go on so you can overcome their obstacles. That is what all heroes do after all. Since you're the main character of your story, you should take the role to be a hero.

Maybe love isn't all about standards

"He's not an enderman, he's a frienderman!"

Short, black, green, creeper, enderman... Maybe it doesn't matter... Just... Maybe...

"Refer to Signs"

Yesterday at uni I saw this. Even the parking meter is giving me some life advice.

It struck me. Signs are a catalyst in our lives to bring us to the next stage. How are they meant to be found? Well they aren't actually meant to be found. They are meant to come to you when the time and circumstances are right, just like the parking meter did after the time when we didn't have to pay for that period of time.

This is one of those things that we wait to come to us.

The truth about yourself and the way you operate

As we grow up, we change the way we think. We start to think too much and feel too little.

Remember yourself as a child. We were carefree about the world and didn't have a mind to do a cost-benefit analysis on our decisions made. However, we have our parents/guardians to put boundaries on us so we don't do stupid things.

Now think about yourself as an adult. We are now able to make decisions on our own. We can think about the cost and benefits of our actions. Why? Because we are able to use the heart and head to figure out what we ought to do.

Ok, I'm not fully telling you the truth. I dunno how to use my heart...

This is awkward. How the hell does one possibility forget how to use the heart?

From my life experience, I had previously used my heart to make life decisions as people told you "follow your dreams", "follow your heart" and so on. However, this was my child like self that I was. I realised things were not going my way. Decisions I had made from my heart backlashed and things were simply not working out. I had concluded that my heart was just my own brick wall.

So what could I turn to? Oh my head of course! So screw the heart now cause I can use my adult like self to prevent bad decisions. I used my heart to analyse the circumstances around me so I was not as careless. I prevented bad outcomes from occurring, right?

Far from it.

The heart and head are not perfect. We are going to make mistakes one way or another. I was using my head to prevent bad things from happening which I had trained up over the past few years. But I wasn't happy. I still let bad things happened, so I was worse off as a result.

So what do I turn to then? My head and heart suck. What about mixing them together? Who should get a say when and how?

I tried to use my heart to make me happy. That didn't work. I tried to use my head to make me less unhappy. That didn't work. At this point, maybe we could be our own parents if we fused the efforts of our heads and hearts together, right?

This seems like a better solution. Use your heart to decide what you want to go for. Use your head to supervise cause your heart is careless. You're like a child in some ways. A child predominately uses their heart, but they still need their parents to at least supervise them from making careless decisions. As Walt Disney stated: "Adults are only kids grown up."

In short, use for heart to make good things happen. Use your head to prevent bad things.

I wished I knew this before things I said and had done, but it doesn't matter now. I'm at least using my past for the betterment of my future.

Now it is time to learn how to use that heart of mine. It is out of practice since it has been sleeping for the past few years or so.

Practice makes perfect I guess.

The First Post, definitely not the last

The first blog, definitely not the last

8th October, 2013

This is a blog where I can freely speak my mind out to people about life experiences and things people can do to potentially make themselves a better person, whilst becoming a better person myself. Of course, i dunno how these blogs work, so for all I know I'm just talking to myself (well, I kinda am as I'm typing this).

Just so you know that you're not reading something from a complete stranger, here's a little bit about me. I'm a 22 year old male in South Australia currently studying at university. As in the blog's title, I am an Asian. More specifically, an ABC (Australian Born Chinese, not American Born Chinese).

Since the start of 2012, I have only started to really learn more about myself and the people around me. It isn't as easy as what they tell you in grade school. Of course, they warn you about certain obstacles such as career pathways, moving out of home and removing a condom from it's packaging. But the one thing that school doesn't teach us is the most important thing of all: People.

Why was there no warning of this? I'm surrounded by people!

I guess we can't blame school for keeping us in denial. I'm making people sound like our worst enemies. However, the truth is that they can be... But they can also be your greatest allies.

How so? People are different. There aren't two perfectly identical people. Some will accept you as a part of their life, some will want you to have no part of it, and some exists to be brick walls in your life.

What do we do with the brick walls then? This is where we can start to take control of things. We can choose what to do with those that try to get in the way of our objectives. I'll cover this on a later date since I'm jumping from one topic to another quite quickly.
