Life’s Empty Spaces… (How To Fill the Holes Within)

Deep in our hearts, there is that void space sometimes, which keeps us wanting and seeking. Love might not even be enough to fill it. It might be something bigger, deeper and wider in concept. Worry not, but keep an open heart. Keep the faith alive; but make sure that along with faith is patience. The joy and excitement of moment like this, the anticipation that it creates must be the source of smiles and positive outlook that would keep us going. On the other hand, instead of focusing and searching on how to fill this void, better chose to spend time on things we love and at the same time beneficial to others.

Personally, with my own journey, I have found the key to it all; “that empty hole is there, in each one of us. It’s up to us to fill it up with the way we look at life, with the way we appreciate and find joy in its every aspect, whether great or small. It is about appreciating all the things that came our way. Each moment is a gift, so we must take whatever we can and enhance our lives from this gift. May we learn to voluntarily “empty” our lives, by sharing what we have to the world (and not to wait for time to take it away from us) so that new, good things will come our way again. As a result, the flow of love and kindness will reach more people who need it most. I dream to see the time when the rest of humanity catches up on this thing called “loving, sharing, and filling the hole within”. In this way, the cycle of life and love would continue. The world would definitely become a better place to live in.

As we navigate our way in this ocean of life, it is necessary to listen to the voice within. We need to face whatever is there, despite its form and color. Life is best lived with open arms. Life is a constant change. We must not hold things in our hands to keep but in our hearts to live. I learned the importance of making the most of what I can and seize each moment, as it must not be wasted. We do not know when the world would take another spin and it may take away the things what we have at present as it turns, leaving us empty-handed. To keep the ball rolling, we also need to give this gift away. Things that are good, beneficial and delightful must not be kept within us but rather, good things must be shared to the world. The, the cycle will go on as we receive new gifts then passes it on again. Just wait a little longer, while the rest of the world will catch the rhythm and the point of balance and harmonious living for each of us would be achieved.

I see life as like a collection of short stories, poems, epics, and verses. Everything rhymes, though sometimes, it is not that apparent. There are situations and phases that we cannot overturn nor over power. At the same time, our flexible nature would be enough for us to turn things into our advantage. We can possibly do it with much faith in God. Life sometimes comes the hard way but we need to learn to stir the sail to make the most of it.
