Why are we out of track in life most of the time?

Why are we out of track in life most of the time? Why do we just want to follow the people around us?Are we hoping to be right because they are? There are thousands of questions in this life. But I believe only a few of us asked the essence of our existence.

I usually ask students with this question, "What is the purpose of life?" Interesting question that sometimes ignite a person to give an annotated answer. But of all the answers that I gathered, I had this interesting story of a student named Daniel.

He said he doesn't really know what life means and so as its purpose. Most of his actions are made without further reflections and they were not directed to a certain aim. He thought, what the common people are doing is right. And acquiring all sorts of achievements would made him feel satisfied.

But with all honesty, he humbles himself and said, never in his life did he feel a bit of contentment. That he maybe is just one of the wanderers in this world. He recalled a story an realize. That once in his life, he was crazy of computer games. In the game, he tend to collect all the necessary stuff that would made him powerful enough to complete a task and eventually level-up. But the more he advanced in level the more he craved to magnify his position in the game.

But one time, as he was there on top looking at the other competitors, he found out that all the efforts he made was in vain. The achievements, he thrived to have never give him any happiness at all but emptiness. And questioned why was he playing the game? Why did he go on? Was that what he expect to have?

Like Daniel most of the time we thought life is about winning a contest, saving a lot of money, or maybe possessing properties. Not realizing that genuine happiness in life can't be found in the things we want to have but the things we always have but never recognize.

Love, peace, faith, contentment, friendship, trust and many more that doesn't require us from competing. Anyone who possesses all these have lived life to the fullest. Not following other people but one's heart.

Now, Daniel is hoping to be very happy. He said, he want to find love and be loved. He wants tofollow his heart and never be lost again.

How a broken relationship turns into friendship

You may be thinking that there is no way you can get your ex and regain the charm in your love life. For hundreds of reasons people had a hard time patching a broken relationship. A few never give up and a few tries to fix it. Some people made it but some unfortunately didn't.

A broken relationship is as hard as you are fixing a broken mirror. They may be attached to each other but there is no way for you to see a clearer reflection again. One way or another, the relationship will be broken again and again. Repeatedly as a cycle. And that may hurt someone more than just letting go of it.

But there's another option to do. A better option. That prerogative is not to forget the person and believe he or she never exist which is somehow a stupid action.

Who can ever forget a person you once shared with? In good times or bad, a person once crosses to your path can never be forgotten.What about the time you invested and the moments you've shared? Were they just nothing? No, not for sure.

The alternative that I'm talking about is to have your ex lover--your friend. Isn't that better. With it, the time spent was not in vain but be a part of a good relationship instead.

How can that be possible? How can you be friend to the person who once cheated you and hurt you? Remember nothing is impossible. Here are few tips to do it.

First, is the acceptance that your relationship won't work when you stay as a lover. Second, is forgiveness to the person that once cause you mental pain. And third is to give way to the relationship to just being friends.

Would that be easy? No, not at all. For many would rather forget what happen and leave it. But one thing, I know a few who ended good and never regretted that they've chosen to become friends. which made them happier than what they used to have.
