As I was looking at my life before, I could say that it was less pressured and quite easy comparing the present situation I am in now. I want to do a lot things but time flies so fast. The demands and pressures are too high. Seems more is better.
So how to live a meaningful life in a world full of pressures , demands and quest for more? First is to prioritize the things important in your life. You want to have all but you know you cant do it all or even have it all. Try to refocus yourself on the things important to you. At the end of the day, these are the only things that can put a smile on your face.
Second is to be original. Don’t be pressured by other people. Being different is not always being better, but being original often means you are inthe company of the few-not the masses.
Third is to live simply. I know its hard especially in a world driven by media. Everyday you are persuaded to try new things, to buy new wardrobe and to taste expensive dishes. It’s always spending. We use our money to things which are temporary and we forgot the ultimate purpose why we are given resources. Let’s try to use every resources we have to touch lives and fill the hearts of God’s people-and this is His ultimate will.
Fourth is to take some quiet time with the Lord. We are always on the go that’s why we failed to pause and reflect on our lives. Remember, we are just strangers here. We are heading to our heavenly home that’s why we need His hands to guide us on our way. God is just in the corner. So, what are you waiting for? Talk to Him and experience His love and goodness.
The last one is to refocus and reconnect with nature. Nature is wonderfully made by God. We can’t comprehend its beauty and mystery. It can gives us peace, serenity and a new outlook in life. Let’s enjoy God’s creations and be at peace with Him.
God bless everyone!
My last pair of glasses broke when my brother jumped on my bed yesterday. I had to order a new one and hopefully would receive it by six days. Since I have occasional headaches when facing the computer when not wearing any glasses, I decided to just listen to the radio, fm channel. The hourly news – as usual – featured about some violence going on in some part of the city. “Nothing new,” I said.
It seems to me that humans are very strange creatures. Not because of their inferiority complex, which makes them happy whenever they feel superior to others (even animals do that). What I’m really surprised about humans are their courage to remain strong and face obstacles in life! They are surely one creature of survival! Taking an act of violence for example. Whereas other animal forms would usually cower in fear, afraid of being a victim as well, humans are different; they confront violence head on. Tackle it and judge it whether it is right or wrong.

Hi. Honestly, I really don’t know why I am writing this one but I guess you ought to know. I just got the result this morning. I passed the board exam. I know you prayed for it and I want to say thank you for that. I just want to tell you that I am okay. I understand everything now. Take care of yourself.

I always believed that being strong and pretending to be strong has no difference. It does not matter if you just pretend to be strong because for the people around you, it would look like you are authentically strong… This was what I believed… until it hurts
When was the last time you heard the word faith used in a religious sense in the television or radio? Most probably you would never hear it. Even surely, you would be able to hear about religion being talked about in the t.v. when the topic is about scandals and misconducts being done by priests and religious. Perhaps, in a few generations we would be telling our kids to cover their ears because the special news about religion is about to come up. Continue reading →
When Aries and Virgo come together in a love match, they may think at first that they have nothing in common and nothing to learn from one another. This relationship takes time to develop as each partner must learn to understand where the other is coming from. Aries and Virgo can seem like total opposites: While Aries is brash, dominant and aggressive, always jumping into new things and almost always impatient, Virgo is detail-oriented and quiet, even shy, and works patiently toward long-term goals. Aries’s energy is fiery and impetuous while Virgo’s is much slower and more grounded. It’s these very differences, however, that can teach Aries and Virgo so much, once they just look beneath one another’s surfaces to see what lies beneath. Continue reading →
Life is short. But how can we make it a bit longer? By eating right.
Fruits are one of the needed foods we should eat to live a healthy life. Fruit is the most important food. Let’s say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so. Why? because of the wrong way of eating fruits.
What is the correct way of eating fruits?
- FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.
If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities. Continue reading →
Have you ever experienced being in the dark? In my case, a lot of times. Those times, I felt alone and unloved.
Life may seem so dark. You are surrounded with people who either love you or hate you. If you think about the journey you had in the past years, it may seem unbelievable that you have reached what you are right now. You have faced a lot of decisions in life that affects your present life. These decisions are often made in your darkest moments.
There are few dark memories I could remember in the past. One of these was when my mother got sick. It was so severe that it left me no choice but to work for us. I was really scared at that time and I didn’t know what to do. I felt I was lost in a dark forest and I couldn’t find my way back home. Another dark moment I could remember was during the time when I had my student-teaching. I was as Continue reading →
