In order to succeed in life one must need to have both wisdom and passion. Passion without wisdom leads you to rush on things unprepared and ineffective. And if it’s only wisdom without passion tends you to be slow in attaining your goals thus delaying your success. These two are partners in order to attain success. Take them in each day and use them.

Life is indeed full of busyness. Whether it be with family, friends, work and many others. We need to find time to rest by ourselves. Feeling the silence within relaxes our body and mind. It helps keep the balance in our life and keeps us healthier and happier.

There’s a truth in the saying that we all have potentials in us. We are created in the image and likeness of God and with that it gives us all the potentials in everything. We are capable of everything and anything. We only need to believe in ourselves and pray for guidance and enlightenment. There are times that we have difficulty in bringing out our full potentials, mainly because of FEAR. Fear of the unknown or fear of what others may perceive of us, perhaps even fear of failures. But FEAR is just a hindrance, an obstacle to do our best. Remember, we were all given talents and abilities and we have to use that for the common good.

Pride is a sin, I guess it is one of the greatest sin. It engulf us to the idea that we are great. That we are independent and we don’t need God. In fact, we cannot do things on our own. God is always there to guide and help us. So to speak, we need to practice humility because all our talents and capabilities, even our successes happened because of our efforts and with God’s grace. It is just right to thank God for everything.

It is right to say that we are blessed to have a life. In living, we encounter a lot of things. Things that made us who we are right now. Life maybe hard but it is full of choices, it never runs out. By being a rational being, we have the capacity to decide and to choose what our choices would be. It is where our future depends, our choices. God only gives us the path on His will, but it is our choice to take His path or not. Therefore ask for His discernment.

There are some things in life that we wanted but don’t get it. We often think that maybe it’s not for us. But then, there are some things in life that we don’t understand. It leave us feeling confused and puzzled. There’s an urge to want to know the reason why it’s happening and coming up with a solution that everything happens for a reason. We may not get it. But we know God’s plans and knows everything, that is why it is right to say that we entrust everything to Him. Let’s all leave it up to Him and stop figuring out why certain things have happened. We do have a good God, and we know He only wants what’s good for us.

There are times that we can’t ignore some obnoxious people. We tend to think about them, our hatreds toward them. Without keeping in mind that we are just wasting our time with them. And even though we tried to ignore them, they still crosses our mind, right? It’s quite hard to ignore someone especially if you have deep angst on them. So here are ways I found on facebook on how to keep you distracted from thinking about them.

1. Ask yourself – “Is he/she worth all my trouble?” ….You will find that most times, the answer is “NOT a chance”.

2. Do a reality check – “Why do I loathe this person so much that I feel it in my bones?”…This is interesting to do. you may find that there is really no reason why you feel this way. if there is one however, find ways to undo it!

3. DELETE all you contact addresses of him/her – You give those fingers a rest. And you may want to rest your heart. You don’t want to be tachycardic all the time.

3. DO something! Shop, watch a movie, DVD, put the music on… Dance or Sing your heart out…ventilation is great to unload a heavy chest.

4. CRY – and resolve that you won’t cry again…Crying eases the burden off your chest. just don’t overdo it!

5. GET SOME ICE CREAM – it pays to cool that head off and add a little sweetness in your life today… just don’t finish the entire gallon. You will have problems with the weighing scale later and you only have yourself to blame…

6. PUT HIS/HER PIC under the doormat – and stomp on it as often as it pleases you… just stay away from witchcraft or you may just get hooked!

7. PRAY – for him/her and for you….praying eases your heartache and it will bring you closer to Jesus. He will carry you all the way.

8. IGNORE – the best offense is one that will make the other person feel he/she doesn’t exist!

9. SLEEP it OFF! – you will reap all the benefits of a beauty rest.

10. Lastly, Just Continue loathing…..if it makes you feel better that way…one day you will get over the person and when you No Longer MIND… that’s the day you GREW UP!!!! HAPPY GROWING!

Yes, because there are a lot of other better things to think and thankful about. How can you count your blessings if you are succumb to thinking of the people you don’t like? It would only help you look older and stressful. Think about happy thoughts, of happy things and surely it will help you look blooming, fresh and younger. Thinking about hateful things make you more negative. And negative aura prohibits you from seeing the positive things in life blocking opportunities that knocks at your door. So why stress out, right? Ignore obnoxious people, don’t make them the center of your universe.

That’s one good question to keep in mind. Some people think that capturing the interest of the person they admire by pretending who they are will still make them happy. As long as they are with the person they like. But how long could they keep up with the pretensions? Living the life that they are expected to do and not what they like to do can seem to be tiring in the long run. Pressure within yourself can set in.

In addition, you are making a fool out of yourself and you are betraying your partner as well.

So be who you are without stepping on other people’s shoes. And that will make you happy.
