Selfpity

Some people leave their dreams, some people close their eyes, Some people want it all, Some people pass through this life and some just take whatever it is because of worries, trials and hardships. Full of heartaches and woes because of what happens in the past that still pinch the guilt. When guilt is our enemy we cannot live a good life but a ruined and destructed one. We become a wheel of tears and a pot of failures. We where not able to see and appreciate things before because we are blinded by our fears. But when we are free from the guilt that imprisoned us, we are able to see the things that makes us happy even the simple one, we will notice that the things we need and the things that we want is with in our reach. Now is the time to get and cheer up, a time to rise, above the contradictions of life. Although we cannot look out for the sufferings, for everyone of us has it's own, but bear in mind that if our suffering accompanied by self pity everything will be lost and gone, it destroyed happiness and life for it is it's worst companion , but if our suffering accompanied by love everything will be possible and done. You can start a new and a good life for the best companion of suffering is love.

Happi ness or less?

Happiness. Do you know what happiness means? It is the condition of your mind the result of doing good deeds but most of us don't really mind the meaning of it as long as we feel it and that we are happy. Happiness is accepting people for who they are, Breaking away from everything that hinders hope to accomplish with our life and to create relationship with others, and friendships who can share dreams, sorrows and hopes. We need to forgive and forget grudges that only brings us down that inspires unhappy thoughts and grief. We need to ignore the negative feelings, thoughts and ideas inside our heart and mind, lets focus in our goal and
accomplishments. We need to have hope that everything is possible. We need to know and remember that no matter how bad things are there is always away to get better. Let love be the center of your being and let love resides in our hearts instead of hate. Don't let hate occupy a big space in our heart because it leads to nothingness and letting you down. Because love is the key to endless happiness after a bundle of trials. We need to manage our time, expenses and our stress so that worries will not take over that will make us suffer. We need to open our heart, mind and eyes to appreciate the simplicity and beauty around us and be thankful always that you still have chance to see the beautiful creations for free. Lastly value the things that you have and the people who believe, supported and encourage you and make yourself available for them with open arms. Respect and value their opinion as well for we are not perfect we bound to commit mistakes and failures, but work for it and do it hard to the best of your ability but if you fall short of your dreams and goals and you stumble rise up and creep to the light for it is better to taste the fruit of your labor for the real happiness is not less. Have your happiness everyone!

A Woman's Wish

As a woman and as a mother we open wish and hope, think and pray that we may have a grace of patience not just patience but an extended one specially when children have no time to eat and misbehaving, when there is scarcity of funds and out of budget and expenses are not meet. When betterhalf is too occupied of work and forget the significant events like anniversaries and birthdays, when laundries are not done and household chores are waiting. I did not think that the things I do may be praised and appreciated not even seeking comfort but all I wish is that I may be more persevering because doing all this things is for the welfare and benefit of my family. I give my best to do all my duties and responsibilities as an expression of my undying love, compassion and concern for my husband and children. To satisfy all their needs as a sign of my joy and happiness, to all who is entrusted to my care, as a woman and as a mother. I was praying that I maybe more patient, more caring, faithful wife and loving mother that I may become committed of the chosen career I was in. That I may be able to continue the opportunity to express my love of the things I am doing, table setting, clothes washing and household cleaning. Wishing to ignore the negative thoughts inside eliminate my bad temper but be focus on the goal that I may always be with them with a listening ear, a supportive and accompanying wife to my husband in his hard and tough times and to extend my care to their needs, to help and ease them in times of hurts and pains. I want to be better friend to my kids, a loyal companion to my better half as a wife and most of all a good daughter to my parents whom I cherish, love and care , and whom I consider my life's greatest gift entrusted to my nest of care, Woman do your share , now is your time to care!

The Beauty of Happiness

When we are very much occupied of the things around us, Like how to earn money that is good enough for family needs, for debts, for credit cards and for daily use, we become weak, irritated, and having an attitude of hate. Aside from that we become more sickly physically, mentally and emotionally because of so many frustrations in life and in our goals and dreams that always engage in our wants nowadays and no longer our needs because of influence of the fashion and trendy things and most of all pride to show off. We forget to understand that its not only the material thing that counts but the spiritual, emotional, joy and happiness as well. The beauty with in our self that most of the time we forget to notice because of negative feeling that have ripped our mind. We use to think that being beautiful is engaging of new technology, expensive creams, expensive dress, cars and many others. We forget to think that simplicity is beauty that the joy and happiness with in ourselves is the reason why we are beautiful in others eyes that glowed inside out. We often think that happiness we created in our self is selfish one, we forget to think that how can we make others happy if we in our selves not convinced that we are happy too. How can we share happiness to others if we are not happy, or maybe because we rely our happiness to others, we count and give the opportunity to someone for our happiness to our husband, wife, kids and parents they don't have the control over to your own happiness. You need to give and fill yourself up first before you can share and give it to others. They are just there to experience and share the happiness that with in our self. So give yourself a time and treat it with love and respect so that others will be influence and attracted that life is beutiful, that no matter how hard the time nowadays, we still have the options to appreciate beauty and wellness with in our reach. So start to be happy now, fill yourself with joy and you will see, people will appreciate the happiness you share to anybody. Life is beautiful, Attract happiness!

Destruction

As time goes by I often heard about global warming, How it disturbed the world and the inhabitants of today. People are not interested to know of what happens to the world we live in unless there is something bad happens. We often preoccupied of the bills that will be soon due, budget is short, household chores tend to be routines, my husband/wife is busy and forget our anniversary, children are misbehaving, laundries are piled up and I have no time for myself. We become self centered that we always think of ourselves that it should be "ME" and no one else, and for that reason we forget to care about the place we live in. We crave for more that we no longer aware that the result of our action is already destroying our surroundings to cover up our failures to achieve our goal which is to earn more, to get more, to have more and to rise among all others, So in effect to express our unfulfilled desire we turn to the environment by never ending cutting of trees with out replacement that's why we experience flash floods, soil erosion and landslides because of no more trees that will hold the water from the mountains and forests, the so called denuded mountain, aside from this land tripping we also turn to sea blasting by doing dynamite fishing, throwing garbage everywhere specially in the sea and ocean, that often cause of coral reefs destruction, coral bleaching and sea rising and most of all island sinking. I remember the killer tsunami that kills thousands of people in Asia, It is really a mass destruction and mass grief. I also remember the killer earthquake in China that cause many lives of young and old, man and woman. We really feel sorry of what had happened to our neighboring countries and even in our own place but we forget to examine ourselves if we take part of the happenings we experience our world today and the global warming that is present now a days. Before we use to go out in our house to get vitamin D from the sun from 6 to 9 am in the morning, but now a days if you are exposed to the sunlight you can no longer have vitamin D but migraine and skin cancers. Human, is this the world you dream to live? Because this is what we are now living the world of destruction!
