Likability from Within

Well liked or Well hated?Do you know how it feels to be liked? Likability is a very essential foundation for you to be happy. But how to you do this?Before I tell you how let me tell you this fact, "You can never be liked by others if you will not like yourself first." As saying goes, "As above is below, As within is without."It is obvious now that for you to be liked, you need to like yourself. Likability is not only judged according to external beauty but of heart. It is seen not on the outside but from within.Likability starts from within. So let us relate this to the Certain Way by remembering the following notes:* If you like yourself, people will like you.*If you accept yourself, people will accept you.*If you are happy, people with remain happy with you.*If...

Law of Attraction

Let us begin by discussing one of the many laws in life – The Law of Attraction. This is a very simple law yet not everyone can practice.

Certain Way

TheArt ofBeingCertain Life is confusing. Life has so many distractions. Life has failures. Life is disappointing. Life is unknown.

20/20

More than the vision20/20 sometimes you do not need your sight to be normal for you to see a clearer vision on the things around you. More than the eye of a normal vision, we need to see beyond the visible world. We have to use more than the senses that we have – the FAITH. In this vision, you do not need an open eye but a heart widely open to understand what you really want in life. In the following pages I will be showing you my personal experience in applying and understanding this 6th sense. The sense of FAITH.   I believe that having FAITH is a gift to enable us to hold with our own selves. To see what want and continuously seek and get satisfacti...

The Law of Life

People from all ages who wanted to impress and express to people the secret, science or law of getting rich have made different titles on the power of man to change or create his own life. Some call it the Power of Subconscious Mind, the Science of Getting Rich, the Secret, the Law of Attraction and so forth but these titles are just choices of words from people who envisioned to realized a book that can bring extraordinary motivation and result to its reader. In my case I call it the Power of Faith. It has been repeatedly said on many writings and in bible, Believe and you shall receive them. No matter how impossible it is for you to achieve something think that you have the power to make things happen. You can never receive anything in life without even believing...

Developing A Habitual Thought

Believe and you will receive it. This statement was one many statements that I learned from reading about the power of human mind. The statement is very simple yet powerful in changing or transforming your life. I am not here to convince you that I am more powerful than you are but to present to you the infinite power of your mind. It’s all in your mind. Whatever it is that you believed to be true is called reality. Reality is yours. Whatever it is that plays on your head most of the time will determine the kind of dance you will perform in your lifetime. It will determine the kind of career you will take, the level of standard you will adhere, the quality of motivation you will bring, the condition of relationship you will maintain or even the amount of money you will make.

You Have the Power

How you feel is how you perform things. How do you feel now? How many excuses have you made to miss the things that are really important to you? Sometimes we are too preoccupied on things around us.

The Park

"God is calling you again."People's Park, Davao City - While I was at this place another calling has come upon me. I was there for almost two hours and I considered those hours another golden hours in my day. Like a wonderful promise of forgiveness from God, He sent me three of His youngest and newest disciples in my generation today.The first person He sent me was a 14 year old young boy named Renz. Wearing a summer short and a T-shirt with his sling bag, this boy approached me and said, " Are you waiting for someone? Can we talk?"To my kindness I said  my generous "Yes, sure." He introduced himself to me not as a young boy but a mover, an evangelist of God's loving words. I knew almost everything he was saying to me since I already have accepted Christ 4 years ago,...

Suicide

Everyone plays a role in our lives. Losing someone is like losing a part of our existence. Once you lose them, you lose them forever... I was in so much pain 3 days after my birthday this year.

First times that became our last times now. I don't want to live my life in regret but until now I am still hurting. Hurting knowing that I could have done something to stop her death. Now I am longing for her but I can never win her back. She is forever gone physically. When I was in sorrow, weeping for her death I have seen a different reality and realized a thing about life. That is - You live one life, take good care of it. I...

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...

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.

Level up or Level down

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....

People may not have noticed it but while I was looking at them I created a question on my mind. "Why did the mother seat the child on her lap when there are still available seats on the bus?"As I was staring at them, I needed not to ask anyone else about it anymore. I realized that the mother did not want to save money for her child's fare but she's trying to save the time for her son. Allowing her son to seat on her lap was giving her the chance...
