letting go of all the clutters in our life

"One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach.One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few. "--Anne Morrow Lindbergh

I love summer and i hate the fact that i have to stay to the beach for more than a month (nakakaitim kaya). But i love seeing people playing in the water. While we are in the beach Nicolo, Tommaso and I did some beachcombing in search of the perfect seashell. From a distance, everything brought in by the tide looked like debris. Unbroken and broken shells are seen ashore. We are awestruck to the beauty of each shell we collected.

Our lives are the same as the seashells scattered in the shores. So many beautiful things surrounds us but there is also instances that this beauty can get lost amidst all of the debris surrounding them. Too much of a good thing becomes clutter. The challenge is to identify the “keepers” and let go of the rest.

There are so many clutters in our life that stress us out -- family problems, issues with friends, marital relationship/love relationship, work, money which include paying bills. We must learn to let go of all the clutters in our life.

Envy is simply being jealous of something that someone else has. When you are envious of someone else, you are comparing yourself to them. Why wont just feel happy and contented on what you have right now? Do not compare yourself to other because there are also good things that you have that they don't have. So let go of envy because the potential for true happiness exists within you right now.

Sometimes we are afraid to do something because we think that we might fail. We are hesesitate to show the real us because we are afraid that people might judge us. We don't want to make friends to others because we are afraid that we might me rejected. If we judge ourself first before doing anything how can they trust you? No one will ever believe in you because you doesn't believe in yourself. So let go of all the pretensions in yourlife because your the only one who makes the own you.

Each one of us is unique. We have our own mind to think and own beliefs to follow. We have different values, ideas, opinions, likes and dislikes in life. We cannot tell someone to follow what we believe. Don't worry if people will not follow you because sometimes what you believe is right for them is wrong. Worrying too much will stress you out. So let go of being so closed-minded and be contented and happy in life by being open on how different people thinks.

There are so many things in our life that are not useful and it makes us look so stressfull and distruct us on our daily lives. These clutters in our life hinders us to become happy. Learn to let go and live life in the fullest.

breaking up is hard to do

I remember someone asked me if i am already moved and if i am already forgot my ex (my boyfriend before my husband). This is what i said " hindi ako ganito kasaya sa boyfriend ko ngayon kung hindi pa ako nakapag move on pero hindi ko pwedeng sabihing nakalimutan ko na sya dahil naging parte sya ng buhay ko."

After the break up the greatest fear is to face the reality that you are already alone. When you are still in a relationship you dreamed and planned together and if the break up happens the future you planned together is crushed down. It is just like writing in a blog you need to delete everything and start all over again-- begins with the scratch.

And here is the question next to it "how will you mend your broken heart?" How can we love again if our hearts are broken? How can you trust again if trust is betrayed? How can you be strong again if you put all your strength in the relationship? How can you be happy again if pain is cripping in your heart?

Most often we fall in love with the person we think we love but to only discover that for them we are just for passing time, while the one who truly loves us remains either a friend or a stranger. Let go when you're hurting too much.Give up when love isn't enough. And move on when things are not like before...

never take them for granted

"never take someone for granted. hold every person close to your heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you've lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones.."

What does this quote really means? For whom is this quotes about. Is it for a friend? a family one? or to the one you love? So often, relationships are taken for granted. Certain people become so much a part of us, that we tend to either think they'll always be where we can find them when we need them, or that they're a permanent fixture in our lives that we'll never lose them. But we must remember, all things in life need nurturing, care and a certain degree of effort on our part.

To a friend who is taken for granted. Sometimes we think that our friends will always be there for us. This maybe true but we forgot sometimes that they have also feelings. We forgot them when we are happy and see them when we are sad. Sometimes we drifted away those who really loves us and care for us and give more importance to those who are not a real friend to us. Do not forget that as we taking them granted there is a tendency that one day when we realized how important that friend is, He or She is no longer in our life.

To a parents to their child or a child to their parents. We are all busy working and we one day we will find that a lot of time passed by in us without valuing those people important to us. Parents worked so hard for the future of their children and no longer have time to be with them. Children grew up with their yaya and the parents have no time to play with them. They are taking their children granted and forgot to think that they will also grew up so fast. When they realized that they wanted to play it is now too late. On the other side when the children now grown up and have their own job, they tend to forgot to visit their parents. All they know is as long as they will provide money for their parents it is okay. Never take them granted because there may come a day when you will find yourself without them, either by death or that they are already too old.

To the one we love, either your girlfriend/boyfriend, wife/husband. Sometimes when we get the person we desire to be with we can become relax on the relationship. Thinking that the relationship will last forever without giving an effort to it. When the moment we get them we tend to do the other things we desire and forgot them. Keep in mind that not everyday they are with us. Maybe one day we realized that they no longer love us.

To God. In essence we take for granted what God has given us. We treat our national blessings as though we have always had them and as though we deserve them. And we neglect to live by the rules that build and govern our nation's relationship with God. When we are happy and everything is okay we tend to forgot God and give thanks to him but when we are in deep pain we ask God for us to be heal. When we need something we asked God to give this to us and when we are in confussion we asked God to guide us. In general we were very careful not to be complacent, or neglectful, or to take God for granted in any way.

Never take anyone for granted, whether it be a friend, a lover or partner, a family member or God, because there may come a day when you will find yourself without them, either by death or that they never felt a part of your life and therefore drifted away. Nurture all relationships to the best of your ability. Make those you love feel important and wanted in your life, a TRUE part of your life. You can only feel that much more blessed.
