The Greatest Advice!


The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren is indeed one of the best inspirational books I've ever read. Actually, I haven’t finished it yet…. for 2 months I haven’t lifted any of its pages. Can you imagine that? (lol) but his write up entitled “The Greatest Advice” indeed caught my attention.

Here it goes….

Don't date because you are desperate. Don't marry because you are miserable. Don't have kids because you think your genes are superior. Don't philander because you think you are irresistible. Don't associate with people you can't trust. Don't cheat. Don't lie. Don't pretend. Don't dictate because you are smarter. Don't demand because you are stronger. Don't sleep around because you think you are old enough & know better. Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder. Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals. Don't stagnate! Don't regress. Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or anyone back. Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr. Right. Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr. Wrong because your biological clock is ticking. Learn a new skill. Find a new friend. Start a new career. Sometimes, there is no race to be won, only a price to be paid for some of life's more hasty decisions. To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the homeless. To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the needy. To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy. Don't bring another life into this world for all the wrong reasons. To make yourself happy, pursue your passions & be the best of what you can be. Simplify your life. Take away the clutter. Get rid of destructive elements: abusive friends, nasty habits, and dangerous liaisons. Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't overdose on duty. Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling for your family. Be true to yourself. Don't commit when you are not ready. Don't keep others waiting needlessly. Go on that trip. Don't postpone it. Say those words. Don't let the moment pass. Do what you have to, even at society's scorn. Write poetry. Love Deeply. Walk barefoot. Dance with wild abandon. Cry at the movies. Take care of yourself. Don't wait for someone to take care of you. You light up your life. You drive yourself to your destination. No one completes you - except YOU. It isn't true that life does not get easier with age. It only gets more challenging. Don't be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to love. Pursue your passions. Live your dreams. Don't lose faith in God. Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!

When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back. Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give to someone is your time. Relationships take time and effort, and the best way to spell love is T-I-M-E because the essence of love is not what we think or do or provide for others, but how much we give of ourselves.

Yeah, GOD is good!

HOW TO CELEBRATE BROKENNESS

I thought everything will be easy as how it seemed to be. But I was wrong… I tried to keep myself busy with my work and studies… I thought this can help. Hence, I can’t concentrate on what I’m doing. It even led to backlogs and inattentiveness at school. In short…nothing happened. I hang out with my buds… strolling, play games on the arcade…Yes it did made me forget what I truly feel inside at the moment…but as soon as I got home, I can’t help but to think of what is really happening. I can’t figure it out if I will start moving on or I’ll hang up to the thought that there’s still a chance or possibility for the two of us….But when? At this very moment or when the time comes that I’m already used of not being with him? I really don’t want this to become a vicious cycle.

But then, I got this post from KERYGMA bulletin which I think would be of great help.

HOW TO CELEBRATE BROKENNESS

2Corinthians 12:8-10

Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made in weakness, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses... in hardships... in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

1. What do you do with your brokenness?
Here are the four options in responding to your weaknesses:
a. Flight: bury your brokenness in an addiction.
b. Fight: get angry and bitter.
c. fantasize: cover up and pretend you're strong.
d. Feast: accept and celebrate your brokenness.

2. 5 Steps To Celebrate Your Brokenness
Step 1: Acknowledge - I acknowledge my brokenness.
Step 2: Admit - I share my brokenness with true friends
Step 3: ask for help - I seek helpand open myself to others' help
Step 4: Affect - I bless others with my brokenness.
Step 5: Accept - I accept the brokenness of others and love them.

Funny but true!


I really don’t know why I feel so affected. I can’t concentrate on what I’m into when I’m not in good terms with somebody most especially to the one who is close to my heart (funny but its true!). Gosh! Can I consider it as a positive attitude or a negative one? That’s why I don’t have any intentions of making myself close with somebody if I will just always get affected every time a conflict or should I say a very slight misunderstanding arises(actually, it was just a misinterpretation I guess). Whew!!! Hehehe….Anyway, its time to get back working… Concentrate…concentrate…concentrate… Everything is ok now yhen! Haiz…
