Self Reflection
I couldn't agree more that last night's study meeting gave me a deeper insight on life and made me reflect on my thinking in another light.
I think I have been living in my own uncontented world so far, complaining about the slightest thing in life and feeling unsatisfied all the while and wanted more.
Irene shared during the discussion that the environment will never adapt to us, so in order to live in a better world, WE should change ourselves to adapt to the ever-changing environment. We have to stop living in our own worlds and expect others to give in to you to make you happy and contented.
I'm glad that CH's wife shared with me that one should not set too high an expectation, for the higher you set, the greater the disappointment goes if the expectation is not met. We were on the topics of how attentive a husband should be during our pregnancy (she's a mummy of 2!), and I was commenting that Hubby Goh is ok only lah, most of the time he's too lazy to do anything unless I nagged. I mean she has a sweet husband, he made a point to cook real chicken essence for her during her 2 pregnancies and cheese toast for her every night for supper. Who would complain more? But she said she never yearned of those, for she's very satisfied to have a hubby who's very supportive of her pregnancy. She realised that if she expects more and if he doesn't perform, it will make her even more miserable and what's the point? She's a simple lady with simple requests, and she's happy about it. And not forgetting with abundance Daimoku, things do really make a vast difference.
Looking back, yes...Hubby Goh has been a supporting partner during my pregnancy all this while. Though he doesn't go to the extra mile of making chicken essence or brew birdnest for me, he did other things in his own ways to show his affection - like chauffeuring me around to buy all the BB stuff, having breakfasts with me on weekdays to ensure that I start the day heartily, read stories to BB Goh every night to bond with him, and other nitty gritties along the way.
Sadly, I don't seem to be the least appreciative of what he has done, rather I have been complaining that he doesn't do this or that and longed for more and more each time. I is so ashamed of myself.
I should start re-evaluating myself and be a better person from today onwards!
Now gotta wake Hubby Goh up for the swimming session..hehe..dat sleepy pig *oink*
