WHAT IS LIFE?

I'M LIKE A GLASS. DROP ME & I'L BREAK. STEP ON ME, & I'L CUT U. MY ATTITUDE DEPENDS ON HOW U TREAT ME

When somebody falls apart don’t try to put them back together in your image in fact, don’t try and reassemble them at all that’s not your job

instead - lay on the ground with them
and scoop as many of their broken
pieces into your hands as you can and every now and then whisper to those pieces:

“This is not forever.” that’s your job

- John Roedel

"Kung lahat, may sumbat, mas mabuting wag na lang." Minsan, masakit isipin na may mga taong handang tumulong, pero kapag dumating ang panahon ng di pagkakaintindihan, bigla nilang isusumbat ang lahat ng ginawa nila. Parang nawawala ang tunay na diwa ng pagtulong dahil sa mga salita na ginagawang pabor ang mga bagay na minsang ibinigay nang kusa. Ayokong maramdaman na ang bawat tulong na natatanggap ko ay may kapalit na sumbat sa dulo. Kung gagawin mo sana akong tulungan, gawin mo ito nang may pagmamahal, hindi dahil kailangan mo ng dahilan para ipaalala kung gaano ka kalaki sa buhay ko.

Sa totoo lang, mas mabuting walang tulong kung ang bawat kabutihan ay laging ipapaalala pagdating ng alitan. Hindi ba't ang tunay na pagtulong ay kusang-loob at walang hinihintay na kapalit? Kaya’t sana, kapag tumulong ka, wag mong gawing batayan ng pagkakaibigan o relasyon ang mga bagay na ginawa mo. Hindi sukatan ng malasakit ang kung gaano karaming beses mo akong tinulungan, kundi kung paano mo ito ginawa nang walang hinihinging kapalit. Mas masarap sa pakiramdam ang tulong na mula sa puso, kaysa sa tulong na isusumbat sa huli.

Sometimes in life, we find ourselves no longer welcome in certain places or with certain people. It can feel confusing or even painful when we’re pushed away from a group or situation we once belonged to. But what if, instead of feeling hurt, we saw it as protection? If the universe removes you from a table where you used to sit, it may be because you were being saved from the harm they were bringing.

The "poison" doesn’t have to be literal. It could be negativity, bad influences, or unhealthy behaviors that you didn’t notice at first. Maybe the people you used to sit with were toxic, and their attitudes or actions were slowly affecting your well-being. The universe has a way of protecting us, even when we don’t understand it at the time.

Being removed from that table can be a blessing in disguise. It opens the door to new experiences, healthier relationships, and a chance to grow. Trust that when you're no longer part of a situation, it’s because you deserve better. The universe is guiding you away from what could hurt you and towards something much greater.

In moments of quiet reflection, when your heart feels heavy and the path ahead seems uncertain, take solace in the gentle whispers of the sorroundings. Close your eyes and breathe deeply, for within the silence, a profound peace awaits. Trust that a guiding light is always near, ready to lift your spirit and renew your strength. Embrace the stillness, and let the warmth of love and hope fill your soul, reminding you that you are cherished and never alone♥️

I used to think Icould fix anything in my life if I just tried a little harder or gave it more time. But some things aren't meant to be " fixed " sometimes all you can do is make peace with it and move forward, knowing you did the best you could.

Sa ating walang humpay na pagsusumikap na maibigay ang magandang kinabukasan at kaginhawaan sa ating mga mahal sa buhay, madalas ay hindi natin namamalayan na nauubos na pala ang ating lakas, oras, at maging ang ating kalusugan.
Tunay na mahalaga ang pera at tagumpay, ngunit sa huli, ano nga ba ang halaga ng yaman, ipon, o pera, kung ang kapalit naman nito ay ang ating kalusugan o buhay?
Kaya't sa bawat hakbang na ginagawa natin patungo sa ating mga pangarap, sana'y huwag nating kalimutan na alagaan din ang ating sarili. Mahalaga rin ang pahinga, para maka recharge ang ating isip at katawanan o kalusugan.
Tandaan natin na ang tunay na tagumpay ay hindi lamang nasusukat sa dami ng pera, kundi sa kalidad ng buhay na ating tinatamasa. Patuloy tayong mangarap at magtrabaho, ngunit huwag kalimutan na mahalaga rin tayo—dahil paano natin maibibigay ang pinakamaganda sa ating pamilya kung tayo mismo ay naging mahina at sakitin na?
Huwag kalimutang maglaan ng oras para sa sarili, dahil ang tunay na kayamanan ay ang mahabang buhay na may malakas na pangangatawan at malayo sa sakit para ganap ang ating kaligayahan na kasama ang ating mga mahal sa buhay.
LAHAT NG BAGAY, PAG INABUSO LALO AT SOBRA, MAGDUDULOT NG HINDI MAGANDANG RESULTA.
PAANO NALANG KUNG ANG UPUAN MO, BAKANTE NA😥

Cut them off silently, they know exactly what they did. Don't waste your breath on explanations or justifications, don't give them the satisfaction of a reaction. They're aware of the pain they've caused, the boundaries they've crossed, and the trust they've broken. Your silence is a powerful statement, a testament to your strength and resilience. By cutting them off, you're taking back control, setting a boundary, and prioritizing your own emotional well-being. You're saying, "I deserve better, and I won't engage with someone who doesn't respect me." So, stand firm, maintain your silence, and let them know that their actions have consequences. You don't have to tolerate toxicity or disrespect; you can rise above it and move forward with dignity and grace.

"The kindest people are not born that way, they are made. They are the ones that have experienced so much at the hands of life, they are the ones who have dug themselves out of the dark, who have fought to turn every loss into a lesson. The kindest people do not just exist – they choose to soften where circumstance has tried to harden them, they choose to believe in goodness, because they have seen firsthand why compassion is so necessary. They have seen firsthand why tenderness is so important in this world."❤️

“Your children are not your children.
They are sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth....."
Khalil Gibran

Henri Cartier Bresson - Rue Mouffetard, Paris, 1954.

You should never feel bad about wanting to change or re-shape yourself into the person you want to be.

Just because people have an old image of you in their minds, doesn't mean it's your responsibility to maintain that. Saying things like "what will they think of me?" will only place fear in your heart and paralyze you from reaching your greatest potential.

You deserve to meet the highest version of youself during this lifetime. You can out grow, re-new, evolve as much as you desire. There's so many layers to us, unravel and explore all of you.

Hold me very tight son...and never abandon me, never forget about me.

Hold me closer, son, I can still feel your warmth; Those hugs of yours fill my heart with life.

Take me to see the sunrise, son, that I can still admire the beauty of a new day; Your company makes every sunrise more beautiful.

Take me to your house, son, on the weekends; Sharing with you and the grandchildren fills me with joy.

Listen to me patiently, son, don't be bothered by my repetitions; The years have made me talk about the past, but each story has a piece of my love for you.

Laugh with me, son, don't be angry at my mistakes; In every laugh I find a spark of youth and in every mistake, a life lesson.

Don't leave me alone, son, your presence is my greatest treasure; When you're around, the world is warmer and less lonely.

Come see me more often, son, don't forget me in the daily routine; Your visit is the best gift I can receive.

Don't take me away from your life, son, I need to feel like I'm still part of it; Doctors can say many things, but love is the best medicine for the heart.

"Your current behavior will be reflected in your future life. The choices you make, the actions you take, and the habits you form today will shape your tomorrow. Every decision, every step, and every thought has a ripple effect that will impact your life in the days to come.

And remember one thing, your attitude decides your future. Your mindset, your outlook, and your perspective will influence the opportunities you attract, the relationships you build, and the successes you achieve.

If you approach life with a positive attitude, you'll be more likely to encounter positive experiences. If you face challenges with resilience and determination, you'll be more likely to overcome them. And if you treat others with kindness and respect, you'll be more likely to receive the same in return.

On the other hand, if you let negativity, fear, or doubt guide your actions, you'll create a future filled with obstacles and regret. Your attitude has the power to either limit or liberate you, so choose wisely.

Remember, your future self will thank you for the good habits you build, the healthy relationships you nurture, and the positive attitude you cultivate today. So, take control of your life, make conscious choices, and shape your future with purpose and intention. Your future is in your hands, and it starts with the decisions you make today."

Maaring mawala ang sigla.
Maaring mawala ang kilig.
Ngunit hindi ibig sabihin ay wala na din ang pag-ibig.

Hindi kilig ang tunay na sukatan ng pag-ibig.
Tunay ang pagmamahal mo sa isang tao kapag pinili mong manatili kahit na sa pinakamahirap at pinakamagulong sitwasyon.
Sapagkat tungkulin ninyong damayan at samahan ang isa't-isa sa pinakamahirap at pinakamabigat na laban sa mundo.

Ang pagod napapawi pero ang pagsisisi ay hindi.
Kung napapagod ka magpahinga ka.
Dahil ang totoong nagmamahal marunong magpasensya.

Ang tunay na pagmamahal ay marunong manatili, marunong makuntento.
Sapagkat mas higit pa sa salitang MAHAL KITA ang salitang MANANATILI AKO SAYO

Be generous with your giving, whether it's love, currency, food, time, or effort, but always remember to reserve enough of those things for yourself first and foremost.

Being kind and generous needs to begin with you; otherwise, you risk depleting your own resources and becoming unable to help others effectively.

PAYO NG MGA MAGULANG SA ANAK

Sa mundong ating ginagalawan di natin ramdam ang hirap ng ating mga magulang. Labis ang kanilang pagsusumikap upang itaguyod ang lahat ng ating mga pangangailangan.

Isipin lagi natin ang sakripisyo na kanilang pingdadaan at mga ginagawa sa atin, dahil sa panahon ng ating paglaki ay doon natin maintindihan ang lahat ng kanilang pagpupursige.

Walang matinong magulang na kung himinge ang anak ng tinapay, bibigyan niya ng ahas
Kahit na sila'y nahihirapan, pilit silang nagsusumikap makita lamang na sila ay masaya; sa kanila, ito ay sapat na.

Habang lumilipas ng panahon,bigyan ninyo Sila Ng kahit kaunting halaga,dahil baka sa araw ng bukas sa di ninyo mamamalayan at inaasahan, sila'y mawawala, biglang lilisan.

At sa araw na yaon doon mo lang mararamdaman ang tunay nilang halaga.
Na; ang pagmamahal nila sa atin, wagas at dakila❤

She is strong. Not because of how much she can lift but for how she lifts others up when they're at their lowest. Not because she is capable of withstanding the storm but because she'll navigate the storm and then show you how to do the same. Not because she is indestructible but because after every fall, she will always, always rise.

She is strong. Not because she chose to be but because the world demanded her to be. She has walked through hell, faced battles most will not comprehend and yet despite it all, she still chooses to be kind; to be soft at the hands of the world that tried to break her. Her strength comes from within. From learning how to turn pain into power, chaos into peace, wounds into wisdom.

Strong is she, who knows her worth and refuses to settle for less. Strong is she, who will not back down, who will fight for what she believes in. Strong is she, who has love wrapped around her heart, courage knitted in her bones and fire running through her veins.

Dear kababaihan,

Mahirap isugal ang buhay sa lalake lalo na kung wala kang back-up plan, escape plan at future plans. Para kang nasa kulungan na walang pang piyansa.

Marami akong nakikitang mga babae ngayon na nagtitiis sa trato ng kanilang mga mister dahil NO CHOICE. NO, ayokong mangyari ito sa iyo. Ayokong sirain mo ang buhay mo dahil hindi mo kaya. Kaya kung maari, bago mo ibigay ang buhay mo sa lalake eh may trabaho ka, may ipon ka at alam mong kahit iwan ka eh kaya mong buhayin ang anak mo mag-isa. Kaya wag ka din magpapadami ng anak kung unang anak pa lang ay nakita mo ng TOXIC ang iyong asawa.

Ayoko ring makita kang sinasabihan ng "walang kwenta, palamunin, walang ambag." Ang ibang mga lalake ganyan na ang tingin nila sa babae kapag wala ng natitirang sahod sa kanila. Kapag hindi ka na rin maganda sa paningin nila at kapag hindi mo na siya nalalambing at naaalagaan.
Kaya isipin mong mabuti kung paano mo mapagkakasya ang pera nya, mag extra extra huwag uli magpadami ng anak. Pag madami kang anak magkukulang ang sahod ng asawa ko, magkukulang ka ng oras sa kaniya at makakalimutan mo na ring ayusin ang sarili mo.
Tandaan, hindi basehan ang madaming anak para paligayahin sya. Sinasabi nya lang yan pero ang gusto nya yung PAG GAWA ng anak.

Ayoko din na makikita kita sa Social Media na nag cocomplain dahil sa inyong mga mister. Dahil wala kaming magagawa diyan, ikaw ang pumili nyan. Wala kaming magic potion para baguhin yan.
Wala kaming powers to control their minds na magbago. Kaya nga dapat aware ka sa mga redflags eh. Kaya wag ka muna magpapa anak sa kanya kung d mo pa kilalang lubusan. Dahil lalabas yang tunay na ugali nila pagdating ng KAGIPITAN, KALUNGKUTAN at PROBLEMA. Pag masaya pa kayo, hindi mo makikita ang mga red flag nito. Kaya wag kang magpapakasal kapag d pa kayo dumadaan sa MAJOR PROBLEMS.

There is a reason why walking amongst nature is most people’s best advice when depression strikes.
Because walking in nature is a return to ‘home’.

You are not a lover of nature, or a fan of nature, you ‘are’ nature.

You are as much nature as the trees in your garden and the bees on your picnic.

You were designed to live your days out in the wild with your fellow creatures and plants but progress, humanity, had different plans for us all.

And so we exist day-to-day, in our homes, but never ‘home’.

The quickest route back to self, to inner peace, is bare feet on grass, arms around trees, head in the clouds and heart in a forest.

Put your bones in water, whenever you can, smell each flower you see and crumble dirt between your tired-of-typing fingers.

You are nature, go home once in a while.

It will bring you much you didn’t even know you were missing.

WORD FOR THE DAY...

TOPIC: EMBRACE DEFEATS WITHOUT BEING DEFEATED

In the journey of life, we are bound to encounter numerous setbacks, obstacles, and defeats. It is an inevitable part of the human experience. But as Maya Angelou wisely said, "You will face many defeats in life, but never let yourself be defeated." Today, I want to encourage you to embrace this powerful truth and draw strength from it. Defeats do not define us; our response to them does. Life's challenges are not meant to paralyze us but to help us discover who we truly are and what we are capable of. Remember, "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall" (Nelson Mandela). It is through these falls and subsequent rises that we grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient. Consider the great inventors, scientists, and leaders throughout history. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, famously said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." His relentless perseverance and refusal to accept defeat led to one of the most significant inventions of all time. Each failure was a stepping stone to his ultimate success.

Similarly, think of Abraham Lincoln, who faced countless political defeats before becoming one of the greatest presidents of the United States. He once said, "My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure." His unwavering determination and resilience transformed his defeats into milestones on the path to greatness. In our own lives, we must adopt this mindset. When faced with a setback, we must remind ourselves that it is not the end, but merely a detour. As the philosopher Confucius said, "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." Each defeat is an opportunity to learn, grow, and come back stronger.VLet us also remember the words of Helen Keller, who overcame immense personal challenges to achieve greatness: "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it." Our defeats, our pains, and our struggles are not meant to break us, but to build us into more resilient and compassionate individuals. In moments of defeat, let us find solace in the fact that we are not alone. Everyone faces difficulties and setbacks. What sets us apart is our attitude and our willingness to keep moving forward. "The only thing that can stop you is the fear of failure" (Paulo Coelho). By embracing our defeats and learning from them, we strip them of their power to defeat us.

Let us also take inspiration from the natural world. The bamboo tree takes years to grow its roots before it breaks through the ground and soars to great heights. Its strength lies in its unseen foundation. Similarly, our struggles and defeats are the roots that anchor us, preparing us for the heights we are destined to reach. As we navigate the challenges of life, let us keep our focus on the ultimate goal. "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts" (Winston Churchill). Each defeat is but a chapter in our story, not the conclusion. We have the power to write the ending, to turn our defeats into triumphs, and to emerge stronger than ever. Embrace your defeats, learn from them, and let them fuel your determination to succeed. Remember, "You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated" (Maya Angelou). Rise after every fall, for it is in the rising that we find our true strength and potential. Let us face life's challenges with courage, resilience, and an unwavering spirit, knowing that our defeats are merely stepping stones on the path to our greatest victories.

WORD FOR THE DAY

TOPIC: YOUR CHOICES WILL MAKE YOU

I wish to remind you of a profound truth, beautifully captured in the words of Dr. Seuss: "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose." These simple yet powerful words encapsulate the essence of human potential and the boundless opportunities that lie before each of us. Within each of us resides the capacity to think, to dream, and to act. Our brains are the engines of innovation, our feet the vehicles of action, and our choices the maps that guide our journey. Consider the first element of this wisdom: "You have brains in your head." Our minds are our greatest assets. They are capable of extraordinary creativity, deep introspection, and boundless learning. With our intellect, we can envision possibilities, solve complex problems, and forge new paths. But to truly harness this power, we must cultivate a mindset of growth and curiosity. As Albert Einstein once said, "Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death." Never underestimate the power of your thoughts. What you believe about yourself and your potential shapes your reality. As the great philosopher René Descartes asserted, "Cogito, ergo sum"—"I think, therefore I am." Our thoughts are the architects of our destiny. Therefore, nurture your mind with knowledge, challenge it with new ideas, and fuel it with positive affirmations.

The second element reminds us: "You have feet in your shoes." This speaks to our ability to act, to move forward, and to pursue our dreams. Our feet symbolize the power of action. Dreams and ideas remain mere fantasies without the courage to take steps toward their realization. As Lao Tzu wisely said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Action requires courage. It demands that we step out of our comfort zones, face our fears, and embrace the unknown. Each step we take, no matter how small, propels us closer to our goals. As we walk our paths, we may encounter obstacles and setbacks, but remember, these are merely stepping stones to success. The great inventor Thomas Edison reminds us, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Finally, "You can steer yourself any direction you choose." This is the essence of personal freedom and responsibility. We are the captains of our own ships, the masters of our fate. The choices we make today shape the landscapes of our tomorrows. This freedom is both a gift and a responsibility. As Viktor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor and renowned psychiatrist, wrote, "Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom."

Life will present us with countless crossroads. The decisions we make at these junctures determine our trajectory. Choose wisely. Choose paths that align with your values, your passions, and your purpose. Do not be swayed by the expectations of others or the fear of failure. As Ralph Waldo Emerson advised, "Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." Remember the power that resides within you; you have brains in your head—nurture them. You have feet in your shoes—use them. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose—choose wisely and boldly. Embrace the journey with courage, curiosity, and conviction. For it is not the destination that defines us, but the paths we take and the choices we make along the way. May your journey be filled with discovery, your steps with purpose, and your choices with wisdom. The world is yours to explore, to shape, and to transform.

"As we get older, we become more honest and don't have the patience for pointless drama."

As we age, we tend to develop a greater sense of self-awareness and honesty, which can lead to a decrease in our tolerance for unnecessary drama and nonsense. We become more discerning and less interested in engaging with people who don't add value to our lives.

As we gain more life experience, we also become more aware of our own values and priorities, and we're less likely to waste our time on things that don't align with them. We develop a greater sense of purpose and direction, and we're more focused on pursuing our goals and aspirations.

And let's be real, as we get older, we also become more comfortable in our own skin, and we're less concerned with trying to impress others or fit in with the crowd. We're more confident in our own identities and we're less likely to engage in behaviors that are driven by a desire for external validation. And that's a beautiful thing!

BE GENTLE WITH YOUR MOTHER💕
There are times that a quick, short answer jumps out of your mouth. Full of sharp edges that draw blood. And you look away, so you don’t need to see the pain you know you caused.
Half of what she does, you don’t understand. The things she allows leave you cold and irritate you.
One moment you want to fold her in your arms, the next you wish you could just shake her a bit.
One day, it will all make sense to you.
The things she never told you about are the very things that hollowed out her insides and then built her up again, so she can carry more and more where no one can see the weight. Those things that sometimes break her where you can actually see it, even though you prefer not to.
Her eyes notice everything, yet she keeps so much to herself. She steps back and offers her hope for the sake of her child’s happiness. The gratitude she deserves for doing that is far and few between, yet her flame of gratitude reaches close to the Heavens.
Should you be blessed enough to still have her breathing the air of this earth, it’s time you start digging in your gratitude-archives and find the warmth in your heart, the forgiveness in your voice and the same amazement you had as a toddler for her. I beg of you to please, today and every day, be gentle with your Mother.
Because the day will come that her morning greeting will no longer be.
Her words “I love you my child” will no longer be.
Her voice will no longer be heard.
All that will be left are memories..
Be gentle with your Mother.
With love and a hug,

23/06/2024

Read this it's beautiful.

“When your mother has grown older,
When her dear, faithful eyes
no longer see life as they once did,
When her feet, grown tired,
No longer want to carry her as she walks -

Then lend her your arm in support,
Es**rt her with happy pleasure.
The hour will come when, weeping, you
Must accompany her on her final walk.

And if she asks you something,
Then give her an answer.
And if she asks again, then speak!
And if she asks yet again, respond to her,
Not impatiently, but with gentle calm.

And if she cannot understand you properly
Explain all to her happily.
The hour will come, the bitter hour,
When her mouth asks for nothing more.”
- Unknown

Love and appreciate your mom before it's too late.

She has two faces.
One face that she shows the world, loved ones, and in public.
The smiling one.
The happy, friendly, and talkative one.
The confident one full of laughter and positivity.
The face that everyone is used to.

The second face is the real face.
The one she tries not to show anyone.
The face behind closed doors, when she's alone away from the world, in the security of her own emotions that she doesn't want to show anyone else or have to explain them.
It's exhausting trying to look happy and like nothing is bothering you.
The face that stares off at nothing or patterns on the floor or drapes.

The face that cries in the shower, in bed, car rides alone, cries sitting on the couch, or doing things around for house.
The sad face that stares back at her in the mirror and looks nothing like she used to be.
Well to her anyway. Others say she looks the same. The face that looks strong to the people she knows, but is really just shards of broken glass inside.
Yes, the girl that was there for everyone, and strong for others..is now split into two.

Two faces, one broken spirit.
She can't bear the losses.
It feels like a chapter of a wonderful book closed never to be open again.

All she has are memories and visions in her head that she plays over and over.
Nothing is the same to her.
Everything is different. She can't cope with daily life, her Doctor said. So she writes to help herself, and she has her two faces.

What's funny is, the sad face is the face worth a thousand words underneath in the depths of complexity.
While the happy face full of laughter, love, positiveness, and fun..is a straight shooter."

Me: Hey God.
God: Hello.....
Me: I'm falling apart. Can you put me back together?
God: I would rather not.
Me: Why?
God: Because you aren't a puzzle.
Me: What about all of the pieces of my life that are falling down onto the ground?
God: Let them stay there for a while. They fell off for a reason. Take some time and decide if you need any of those pieces back.
Me: You don't understand! I'm breaking down!
God: No - you don't understand. You are breaking through. What you are feeling are just growing pains. You are shedding the things and the people in your life that are holding you back. You aren't falling apart. You are falling into place. Relax. Take some deep breaths and allow those things you don't need anymore to fall off of you. Quit holding onto the pieces that don't fit you anymore. Let them fall off. Let them go.
Me: Once I start doing that, what will be left of me?
God: Only the very best pieces of you.
Me: I'm scared of changing.
God: I keep telling you - YOU AREN'T CHANGING!! YOU ARE BECOMING!
Me: Becoming who?
God: Becoming who I created you to be! A person of light and love and charity and hope and courage and joy and mercy and grace and compassion. I made you for more than the shallow pieces you have decided to adorn yourself with that you cling to with such greed and fear. Let those things fall off of you. I love you! Don't change! ... Become! Become! Become who I made you to be. I'm going to keep telling you this until you remember it.
Me: There goes another piece.
God: Yep. Let it be.
Me: So ... I'm not broken?
God: Of course Not! - but you are breaking like the dawn. It's a new day

Tandaan natin na ang tunay na tagumpay ay hindi lamang nasusukat sa dami ng pera, kundi sa kalidad ng buhay na ating tinatamasa. Patuloy tayong mangarap at magtrabaho, ngunit huwag kalimutan na mahalaga rin tayo—dahil paano natin maibibigay ang pinakamaganda sa ating pamilya kung tayo mismo ay naging mahina at sakitin na? Huwag kalimutang maglaan ng oras para sa sarili, dahil ang tunay na kayamanan ay ang mahabang buhay na may malakas na pangangatawan at malayo sa sakit para ganap ang ating kaligayahan na kasama ang ating mga mahal sa buhay. LAHAT NG BAGAY, PAG INABUSO LALO AT SOBRA, MAGDUDULOT NG HINDI MAGANDANG RESULTA. PAANO NALANG KUNG ANG UPUAN MO, BAKANTE NA😥
