Thoughts/ Ganduri

(ENGLISH VERSION OF THE POST IS AFTER ROMANIAN VERSION)


Am avut o zi plina, care parea de dimineata asa de linistita si oarecum plictisitoare. Am realizat cateva lucruri azi, sau mai bine spus, mi le-am amintit.
In primul rand, am vazut ca atunci cand doresc sa realizez ceva bun, mereu apar piedici si oricat de mult vreau, nu pot sa multumesc pe toata lumea si sa ma multumesc si pe mine. Eu stiu un lucru: si eu am o viata - lunga sau scurta, Dumnezeu stie, dar stiu ca mi-a dat-o mie ca sa o traiesc eu cat se poate de bine si sa ma bucur de ea.
Sa ma bucur de viata nu inseamna sa o duc tot intr-o veselie si in chefuri, ci inteleg prin asta sa ma bucur de detaliile vietii, de lucrurile marunte, sa ma bucur chiar si de probleme si necazuri, si de ce nu, sa ma bucur si de lucrurile mari din viata, de realizarile mari - asta daca exista asa ceva.
 Am cateva persoane apropiate care considera ca stiu mult mai bine cum sa imi traiesc eu viata pe care mi-a dat-o mie Dumnezeu. Ma intreb, oare exista o cale standard a felului cum trebuie traita viata? Eu cred ca nu! Foarte multi cred ca cine nu face ca ei, nu face bine. La ei e toata stiinta si ei stiu in orice situatie ce trebuie facut. Ei nu gresesc vreodata. Ei stiu mereu ce trebuie sa vorbesti, ce slujba sa ai, ce sot/sotie sa ai, ce casa si masina sa ai, cum sa te imbraci si cum sa pasesti.
Uneori, cand iti doresti ceva mai mult de la viata, ai surpriza sa vezi oameni care cred ca faci o mare greseala. De fapt, toti doresc schimbare, dar nimeni nu vrea sa se schimbe ceva din lucrurile cu care sunt obisnuiti si uneori, cand apare cate unul cu ceva mai neobisnuit e deja catalogat ca fiind un ciudat, razvratit si om care se indreapta spre rau. In fine, mentalitate de sat! Nu stiu unde am auzit sau am citit o poveste despre o broasca ce a cazut intr-o groapa si a zis de-acolo: "Cerul e  foarte mic si rotund!" Ar fi multe de povestit.
Dar, ca sa nu considerati ca ati pierdut minute bune citind articolul asta care, poate pare la fel de melancolic ca multe din articolele scrise pe blog, sa stiti ca in toate astea e un lucru foarte bun, si anume, realizez ca omul e atat de mic, e doar o suflare si toate actiunile lui depind de Cineva.
Pentru unii, asta poate fi aiurea si neacceptat, pentru altii poate fi inspaimantator, dar noi chiar depindem in tot ce facem de Dumnezeu. Putem garanta ca ziua de maine e a noastra? Nu.
Pentru mine, asta e o veste buna, pentru ca atunci cand vad ca nu pot face mai nimic si actiunile mele nu au efect prea mare sau deloc in viata mea si a altora, cand apar probleme de tot felul (problemele mari pentru mine pot fi mici pentru altii si invers), atunci imi spun ca nu eu sunt seful Universului, nu eu trebuie sa am grija de toate, e Cineva care conduce totul si care nu ma uita nici pe mine, o mica suflare, si e atat de bine cand stiu ca pot avea liniste sufleteasca. Si asta este o parte din ceea ce inseamna pocainta. Sa fii calm in orice situatie. Sigur ca suntem diferiti si reactionam diferit, dar atunci cand stim ca exista Dumnezeu putem avea liniste. Si da, putem avea liniste cu o conditie: sa fim prieteni cu Dumnezeul Atotputernic. Cum sa fii prieten cu Dumnezeu? Simplu: incerci sa Il cunosti. Si cum Il cunosti? Simplu: Citesti ce a spus si a facut cat a trait pe pamant.
Nu fac propaganda la nici o religie! Daca mereu amintesc despre Dumnezeu in postari, e pentru ca depind de El si pentru ca sunt convinsa ca El exista, m-a creat si nu doar ca  m-a creat, dar mai cred ca m-a creat si pentru un scop precis.
Am sa inchei cu un verset din Biblie:
„Veniţi la Mine (la Isus), toţi cei trudiţi şi împovăraţi şi Eu vă voi da odihnă“ 
(Matei 11:28)

ENGLISH: 
 
I had a busy day, even in the morning  I thought it will be a peaceful and kinda boring one. I realized few things today, or, should I say better, I remembered these things.
First, I saw that when I want to realize something good, it will always be something to stop me and no matter how much I want, I can't make everybody happy and to make me happy also. I know one thing: I also have a life - long or short, God knows, but I know that it was been given to me so I can live it how I know  better and to enjoy it.
To enjoy life doesn't mean I have to party day and night, but it means that I have to enjoy the simple things in life, even the troubles and why not, it means also to enjoy the big things in life, to enjoy the big accomplish in life - if I have this.
I have here some close persons who consider they know much better how I should live my life that God gave it to me. I wonder, is there any way that life should be lived? I think not! Some people think that who doesn't act like them, does wrong. They have the knowledge and they know better in any situation what someone should say and done. They are never wrong. They always know how someone should talk, what job and husband to have, what kind of house and car to have, or what to dress and how to walk.
Sometimes, when you want something more from your life, you have the surprise to see people who think you make a mistake. In fact, all want a change but nobody wants things they are used with to change. I think this is more a village mentality.
I don't know where I saw a story about a frog who felt in a hole and said from there: "The sky is so small and round."
So, I like to be a person who thinks outside the box.
 I don't want you to think  you lost minutes reading this post, that seem so melancholic like most of my posts, I want you to know that in all these it's a good thing and that is the fact the we realize human kind is so small, just a breath and all the actions of the man depend of Someone.
For some, this is stupid, for others this is frightening, but we all depend with all that we do of Someone, of God. Can we say for sure the day of tomorrow is ours? No.
For me,  this is a good news, because when I see I can't do much and all my actions don't have big impact or none for my life and the others, when troubles come, then I say to myself: I am not the leader of the Universe, it's not me the one who takes care of all, because is Someone who leads everything, is God, who doesn't forget me also and will take care of me, and this gives me peace. This is just a part of what means to be a Christian. To be calm in all situations.
Sure, we are different and we respond differently, but when we think of God, we can have peace. And yes, we can have peace with a condition: to be God's friends. How to be friend with God? Simple: Try to know Him! How to know Him? - Reading in the Bible what He said and done while He was on Earth.
I don't talk about religion! If I use to mention often about God in my posts, it is because I depend on Him, my life is in His hands and I know He created me, and not just that, but He made me for a special purpose.
I will finish with a great verse:
God said: Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 
(Mathew 11 : 28)
