The Seat

“The person you are inside is the person you can be outside.” This line can imply many picture of human’s personality. A greedy, a selfish, a hopeless but thankful personality and sometimes a kind one. These are the most common personalities usually seen on jeepney.

One night while I was on my way home a greedy personality appeared after me, a jeepney driver. Insisting that his 18 seater jeepney is 20 seater.

Nobody gave in the selfish passengers are on their bad face wanting not to share any space on their seats to the last hopeless passenger who were thinking of not seeing any other available route of jeepney or taxi cab to their place.

Finally big five to the only kind and generous human around who gave his seat which resulted him to almost seat on the air before landing on the floor. Life’s journey is like this, most of the time we might think that it’s our dead end but as we get closer to its end we finally see that someONE is waiting for us WHO is willing to help us and extend HIS unconditional love.

Life is always fair. Even if there are greedy, selfish or you seem to be hopeless you still meet the generous man around who can make you thankful about your life.

The generous man’s heart expected no reward but as he heard the word of thanks from the two hopeless passenger it pleased him and inspired him to continuously help. Like God it also delights Him that in all the days of our lives we still appreciate our existence no matter what happen. Life is beautiful we just need to TRUST Him. Believe that you have received them – that is praying!

The Pedestrian

“Man always on the danger zone.” This was taught to me in one of the personality development workshops I attended in college. I am already working now, I am no longer a student in a university but I still observe and find curiosity on the things around me.

When I was on my way home I saw a couple crossed a pedestrian. A wife on the danger zone holding her husband’s hand on the other side.

For some you might think that this scene showed a fading love since Mr. Prince Charming is no longer Mr. Gentleman. Surely, if we see this couple 20 years ago on the same pedestrian lane we will see them on the other picture around.

Remember when you were still dating? Your boyfriend sends you the best flower arrangement, wraps the best chocolate, composes you the flowing letter and pays for your date in the most romantic if not expensive restaurant in town. You can even sleep on his shoulder when you were tired. 

In married life things may change. You may need to prepare everything without him appreciating what you are doing. Sometimes he may forget your anniversary, your birthday or you may even need to cross the pedestrian with him while you are on the danger zone.

The question is - Where is love now? Is love still present? Certainly yes. Love is present where the sacrifices are made. Everything may change but love will never be and should never be. For the wife it does not matter even if after 20 years of their married life she needs to be on the danger zone. She does not count her sacrifices. All she care about is to cross the road of life with her man. She will still be in love and delightful to walk with him even if she has to be on the danger zone because her man walks slowly with his arthritis.

This is true love. God loves more than this way. HE does not count how big is your sin to forgive you. He does not ask you to be very religious as long as you have the faith in HIM. Let us not forget to walk with him in all the journeys of out lives. Let us keep the faith alive. God is love. Always be in love.

Happiness is a State of Mind

You are the only person who thinks in your mind! You are the power and authority in your world. - Louise Hay

Is your life miserable now? Do you live in sorrow and despair? Are you unhealthy in spirit and body? Are you a failure now? If you say no, you are among the world's happiest individual. Majority of the people in this world have achieved so many things in life and yet they are still unhappy.

Why is that so? Simply, people think that they lack something in their lives. We have unlimited desires. The more wants we achieved the more needs we create. We are not satisfied with our own existence. To think with limitless desires is normal.

We live to achieve. In achieving life's happiness it is not only about achieving material things. We only need a thing and that is - a mind in control.

Happiness is a state of mind, it is a state of mind that you are in power to control what you desire and think. You are they captain of your own ship. A master of your own creation. You mind creates you. Why would you be thinking misery, sorrow, despair, sickness and failure if you can actually think and achieve the opposite?

Life is how you define it. If your definition of happiness is a simple smile in a day then so be it. Life is not about how huge or tiny is your want but it is about how life's simplicity can satisfy you. It will all follow, the satisfaction and pleasure you have now will be doubled - Just think happiness and you will be happy then.

Autosuggestion

You are smart.
You are a winner.
You are unique.
You are on the top.

Do you think you are like these?

Yes you are. You should think like one. You are what you feed you mind. So the moment you say positive things to your self you are actually sowing a seed into you mind that you are at positively positive reality.

You are happy and you can be happy whatever your circumstances now all you need to do is to take control of your mind. Whatever things you need to do - ALWAYS start with a positive and affirmative statement. Because that moment you say you will fail, you will not really make it. You are starting to lose your own game.

You can achieve it. Your mind absorbs what you declare. So the moment you declare achievement, success, and winning you are starting to claim all the thing you can ever have in your lifetime. Suggest a positive statement to your mind and your mind will accept and create a positively positive reaction.

Level up or Level down

"I graduated Cum Laude." This is the line of the person I know which I hated much hearing. Do you really have to wear the crown of your awards? Is it righteous to shout who you were and you are?

Personally I can tell that these are useless efforts of people who know nothing but brag themselves. I just can dare listening to the character of such people. As I hear them on my left it, I let go of their words on my right ear. Or before the these boastful words enter my ear I do not allow my mind to entertain them.

The more they shout for the number of gold medals they won the lesser I hear them. I have my own music played on my mind, why will I waste my time listening over these hopeless efforts of pointless people if I know I know my self? I did not graduate Cum Laude but my GPA is 94 out of 100. I do not compare myself to them because the more you compare the more you find insecurities and conflict.

It's really important that you understand yourself better, you master your mind for you to master how to react to the uncontrolled action of negative people around you. Start today, remember you do not live today to die tomorrow for nothing.
