The Journey of seeking oneself...

I just finished watching the movie, Kung Fu Panda 3. And as usual, I had fun. I’ve been a fan of Kung Fu Panda since its first movie way back 2008. The characters are witty and action driven with martial art moves. What I like about is the lessons it taught. Kung Fu Panda might be for the kids and the young at heart, but the story conveys about inspirations in life.
Po, the main character is a Panda who always seek who he was and is. Though he was destined to be a Dragon warrior, he always had this feeling of finding himself and eventually, he had. In his journey, he never loses his wit and funny attitude. He always find the answer at the end although he may be confused (at all times) in missions. His teacher and mentor, Master Shifu had always been there to give him clues about his destiny.
We are all like Po. We struggled to find that answer to every little question we had about ourselves and life. But it is us who can answer those questions. And we can only find them if we continue to seek and never give up. We may question all the bad things we encounter in life and we always ask for an answer. Everything happens for a reason. But sometimes the answer is not to be seen around us but to be felt in us. Forgiveness at all times is not visible because we are too proud to look at it. But to be able to understand life, we must master forgiveness. For it is the only way it can bridge us from the past to the future. And only then we see the meaning of light at the end of the tunnel.
I’m off to bed for now. Need to start early tomorrow. Have a good day/night myLotters.

To be honest , i never questioned myself as to who i am , what i like . I know me and knows too that failures are what made me stronger , simpler and easy to forgive . I don't bear grudge for long . Life is short so i forgive and forget or maybe i don't forget but just put them at the back of my mind so as i can move on.
Life is better , when i am that way .

We have different experiences in life. Your path is different from mine. Maybe right from the beginning you know what you want in life. My story is different. I still need to find my purpose in life and I am still looking for it. Not all can be forgiven easily specially if the damage is too deep to handle. We can always leave the past behind but future can never be healed if the past is still broken.

I like the way you see things. I do believe that everything happens for a reason but I also believe that we are directly responsible for whatever life experiences we are having right now. Do you believe that we are creators of our reality? We start our day right and we end the day feeling great and accomplished. However, if we start with a foul mood then our day would end so bad that we just feel empty inside.

Yes. It's true that we are responsible of how our life would be but sometimes, there are things that come our way unexpectedly. We are not prepared to face the obstacle that came in an instant. An accident perhaps that had taken your loved one. The process of forgiving of what happened is not that easy though you need time to heal. A lot of time, depends on how you accept the situation. Everything happens for a reason but we don't know the reason why it happened.

Right, problems that come to us unexpectedly can be challenging and may cause us to give up on life. But it can also be something that will make us stronger and wise.
As for the forgiving part, I was once hurt and I must admit it took time to heal the wounds. But now that I'm on my way to healing, I do not want to look back because I want to be totally healed.

Poe has grown a lot since the first kungfu movie, can't say I can have the same mind set as him.
