Cake of Life

You know what I think?

Life is similar to making a cake!!

I have a particular idea of how my cake is going to taste like, and how I am going to present it. But along the way, either I whisk it too long (my mind meandering to some place else) or I did not put enough ingredients to get the exact taste as I've tasted in my head. And of course it is still edible and everyone (probably out of courtesy) gave an approving nod. But I am not happy nor satisfied.

Thereby begs a question in my mind. Should we, women - as human being - try to pursue happiness or satisfaction? Can you be happy without being satisfied. Or when you are satisfied then happiness is inevitable or vice versa? Is there any difference between happiness and satisfaction?

Women in particular,  are prone and willingly to make others happy - despite of our own circumstances, need and wants. As if we are born from the heaven to be a martyr; keeping the world, the family, the society, etc., a safe and happy place for everyone in it, but us. Are we satisfied to take on that position? Or is it out of duty and necessity that we bring our selves to always do "the right thing." Is it remotely possible to strike a balance?

Maybe we are just too lazy to take on the consequences and responsibilities of our own action (s), thereby it is easier to let anyone and everyone defined our own definition of happiness and satisfaction. "It's good enough" or "It's better than nothing."

But would you do that to your cake? Or would you try out different ingredients/tricks/style just to get that perfect bite that made you feel happy and satisfied - and that you know when people are going "hhhmmm...." and " aaaaahhh..." you know what they are feeling, because you felt it too.

Imagine if you have those feelings in all areas of your life?  Are you willing to experiment with your outlook, your respond, etc., in the areas of your life that you are not "quiet" happy or satisfied with? Are you willing enough to take reign of your own life's ingredients? To be responsible of the consequences? And be loving of yourself enough even though you put too many or too little of something? To have that perfect taste of life that you are familiar with in your head.

I know...I know...maybe you will say...that is impossible ... no one in this world got a perfect life. Nothing is perfect. Really?

I think...if we can make a perfect cake/a perfect dish /a perfect...what ever...than there is a chance that we can also make our life perfect.
