"We become what we think about, all day long."

Love these words by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Sort of makes me think about how we are living. At least how I am living. I think about how I will never be able to write anything. And guess what. I am not writing anything, am I. But how to unlock the secret to living a life I will be proud of? How to I start when I have been living like this for so long? How do I do that?

It is sometimes so difficult to change the way I have been thinking. I fall easily into the old ways. And it doesn't help that people close to you won't let you forget where you came from and who you used to be and then act accordingly. A glimpse of light is easily put out by clouds. There are so many lovely words out there that inspires. And I do believe Emerson's words to bear truth in them. I am what I think all day long. A dreamer. Isn't that all I do? Dream. I never do anything to make those dreams come true at all. Everything I do is procrastinate, put everything in my life on hold, waiting, hoping that one day everything will change. "If only this; if only that..." It is getting tiresome to say the least.

So how do I change the way I think? I guess that is the big question to be left unanswered for now. Simply because I don't know...
