If only . . .

I was looking the other day at tumblr because i've come across a lot of awesome ones lately. And it looks heaps simple but complicated at the same time. LOL

i dunno, i think i'll just stick with blogspot for now.

Anyway, so i was on Facebook and just came across my cousin's tumblr.

AND it's no surprise, i finished reading one of the posts and i was like wow!

He is seriously such a good writer, i mean i've read a couple of his posts and notes and he clearly articulates his thoughts and writes things in ways that make it all seem so amazing and powerful!

One of the quotes that he had in there that i really liked was

“The best time to plant a tree, was twenty years ago. The second best time is today.”
-Chinese Proverb 

And i understood it straight away because its something i always think about. I think i think about it probably even on a daily basis.

Because things go wrong. And I always think, if only i could turn back time and do this and that in certain ways. But then if you think about it, it happened for a reason, so now start changing and do things in ways that will bring out the best in you NOW and stop sooking about it! This same wise guy also said, that  "While it's good to hope in what God has for you in the future, where you are now is where God wants you to be. And you gotta see the beauty in that too." (i think i blogged about this a few weeks back)

Many times i think, 

"if only i could turn back time to a particular moment."

But what if i were to go into the future and say

"If only i could turn back time to this particular moment ..." The very exact moment now, where i am wasting my time thinking if only... 

okay yeah i dunno if this is all gonna make sense whan i read it again down the track.

Basically we think there's nothing we can do about things because its simply lost in time and there's no point starting again now, But we shouldn't get discouraged and should just put all our trust in Him, like i mentioned in my previous post, and then we would have no regrets of if only . . .
