If you stay in faith instead of being a stumbling block to take you down, God will use it as a stepping-stone to take you higher.

Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is the flower. May you live all the days of your life.

7 months later. I started throwing food away again. I felt guilty for eating. I feel uncomfortable in this body. This is the first thing I wanted to update.

Next, I am happy where I am now because I find myself doing what I am yearning to do all my life. NURSING. This is my passion and I am never giving up either way.

And then again…

More than 15 years later, I find myself wanting to love again. This is unexpected. I never thought such emotions will return after so long. But from the bottom of my heart, I know its genuine. I would never start chasing for something in the means of temporary pleasure. Once I start, I don’t stop. This is me. So I am going to be honest. Because how will they know if I don’t say it?

So yea, I have the urge to write today. Because while I am struggling with my past, I am happy with my present…thank God, I can never ask for more.

“Today, my forest is dark, the trees are sad, and all the butterflies have broken wings.”

“Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has yet to come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering” –  Ida Scott Taylor

YOU ARE WORTHY of it all. Numbers does not define your happiness. Being small does not define your success. Do not be hard on yourself. Do what you can, forget what you can’t. Have faith and pursue for the best.

YOU ARE YOU. What people say does not matter. No one knows you better than yourself. Their opinion of you does not have to become your reality. You choose you. You decide for yourself everyday.

BE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND. The greatest challenges in life are all faced alone. Rely on yourself, no one is going to look out for you all the time.

TRUST YOURSELF, this is how you can live a better life at making your own decision.

BE BRAVE, the horizon expands once you leave your comfort zone. Embrace discomfort. Use fear to transform life for the better.

LIVE IN THE PRESENT. This is sooo hard, but your past, you cannot live there forever, just like you can never bring back time. Live in the present and cherish NOW for no one knows what will happen tomorrow.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. “Follow your dreams and reach for the skies”. With conviction, even impossible can become possible…

LOVE YOURSELF FIRST before committing yourself to anything or anyone else. Be kind and respect yourself. Self care is not selfish.

BE HAPPY, and know that you can never please everyone.

STAY TRUTHFUL to yourself and others, because its unpredictable to be staying in darkness have you regretted not expressing yourself better.

LIFE IS SHORT, so spend all the time wisely with every breath as we read.

EVERYTHING IS TEMPORARY, do not get overly attached to anything or anyone. Sometimes you just have to know that nothing really stays the (same) forever……..

We create our world with what we pay attention to. There are a million of things happening right now: some good, some bad. Pay attention to the good, and we feel better. Pay attention to the bad, and…

The things that we don’t attend to in a sense don’t exist. All day long, we are selectively paying attention to something, and much more often, we can take charge of this process to good effect. Our ability to focus on this and suppress that is the key to controlling our experience and, ultimately, our well-being…

 “Being able to control it gives you a lot of power, because you know that you don’t have to focus on a negative emotion that comes up.”

 “Nothing in life is as important as you think it is while you are thinking about it.” – Daniel Kahneman

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must the white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?

Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind

Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they’re allowed to be free?

Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn’t see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind

Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?

Yes, and how many deaths will it take til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind
