It’s been a long time since I
posted an update for my blog. I’m sorry, guys. I’ve been out and about these
past few months and honestly, I didn’t quite get the enthusiasm and motivation
to post, and I’m sorry about that.
For today’s post, it’s actually
very random. I want to share some important things I’ve learned about life, so
far. This is the outcome of a very sudden LIFE-CHANGING decision I’ve chosen. These
are what I call as “Food for Thought” and I hope that they may inspire you.
I’ve realized:
1.
That before
you decide on something life-changing, you need to ponder on the consequences
of your choice. And when you do choose, you must be fully accountable and
responsible for choosing so.
2.
That not
every opportunity is for you to grab; rather, it’s for you to think about and
work on.
3.
That the
pain of leaving is the same pain as letting go; either way, you get separated
from the people you’re attached to.
4.
That there
is always a choice—between staying and leaving. You can’t say, “I had no
choice.” No. You always have a choice. It’s just that, the choice made you, and
you didn’t make the choice. There is a difference between the two.
5.
That between
staying and leaving, you always choose the option which will make the MAJORITY win.
Stop thinking that it is all about YOU. You’ve got to choose what’s best for
the many. And when you do so, make sure it will bring out the best in one
another.
6.
That life is
like the ocean—sometimes it remains so calm for a long time and then when a
boat passes by, big waves follow. That, with just one boat, the calm ocean changes
into something wild: waves as if swallowing the shores. That, in just a blink
of an eye, something so steady can become wavy.
7.
That life is
always unpredictable, no matter how hard you plan, if the Big Guy up there has other
plans for you, so be it.
8.
That loving
means courage. When you love someone, don’t expect for her/him to love you
back. Just. Love. It will never make you less of a person if your love is not
returned. Instead, it will make you stronger and wiser. So that when the right “love”
comes, you know you’re ready for it.
9.
That there
is a difference between doing what you love and loving what you do. Try to get
a balance between the two.
10.
That happiness?
It’s never an effect. That, I’ve learned the hard way. Happiness is and should
be a cause. And what is its effect? When you are happy, you make the world a
better place. You radiate an aura of positivity—just what the world needs. There’s
already too much hatred and hurt and sadness and sorrow, you don’t want to add
up to that, do you?
Thank you for reading and I hope
this post is helpful and/or inspiring. I truly wish you’ll have a lovely and
awesome weekend! Kisses.

I hope whatever you are going thru is not too tough on you. It certainly taught you some very important lessons. The happiness one I practice daily, making an impact one interaction at a time with people, letting them see what being happy can do. Great stuff, dear! Big hugs and love for you!
