Happy Halloween

Hello Readers,

First of all, I am not into Halloween, but I do love candy and I did these pictures just for fun, inspired by one of my favorite TV show, "The Walking Dead". It's funny because I am not into Zombie's movie, I like horror movies but not Zombies and everyone keep telling me that The Walking Dead is so good. So, thanks to Netflix and Google TV, I watched the series and it is a great show.

Happiness Is A Journey

Embedded image permalink

Because we are living in the era of "Express", we wanted everything in our life to be express as well. We would love to have a date stamped on a specific event in our life, we wanted to control everything, including how fast a certain thing should be fulfilled.

Happiness is a journey!

I love those words! It does not mean that along the way you should be unhappy, miserable and cranky LOL. But, for some people, everything takes time to reached a certain degree of happiness. Forgiveness takes time, forgiveness is also a journey in life. 

There are steps that we must going through before we arrived at our "destination" or should I say degree of forgiveness. First, we must feel the hurt, then we got mad, confused, angry, sad and all of the emotions mixed together in our soul. Then we acted our emotions out, may it be crying, blaming someone (or yourself), regret, planning a revenge, hurting someone, being alone, partying, etc. After that, we have some options, we could either forgive the abuser and move on with our life or we could plan a revenge that might not just hurt him/her but yourself and others along the way. We could confront the person and tell them that we are hurt in a mature way or not so mature way, we could live miserable our whole life playing the blaming game, never ending regret or the "what if" mentality, or we could just cry, pick up our own life, move on toward a more positive renewed uplifting and better life. 

Everything takes time and that is why it calls a journey instead of a destination, because I think that life is a journey. We continue to walk and filled our life with surprises that we found along the way and we continue to walk our journey. We have options to stop and enjoy a certain moment in that journey, take some pictures, laughed or cried, remember or forget. We also have some options to unpacked some baggage that we have been carrying along the way (baggage: unnecessary burden)

Aren't you tired carrying those emotional baggage that is hurting you, emotional, physical and mentally?. Why carrying those people who hurt you, abused you, did not appreciate you with you on your journey/life? Let them go, unpacked them, leave them behind and never look back. You have learned your lesson, now it is time to let go and live your lighter life. Filled your bag with new experiences, good people, moments and lessons to cherished and worth remembering or carrying along the way. Create beautiful moments not miserable moments. Remember the great times not the bad times. 

If you still find it hard to let go, then make a promise to yourself that you deserve better and make a goal to help yourself out to move on with your life, so that you could reached your next destination in your journey.

When or if you have arrived at your next destination, may it be the next city, next boyfriend you have, next job, next ministry, etc, unpacked those unnecessary baggage. You do know that those losers do not even think of you anymore, remember you or even know what they did wrong to you, right? So stop the pity party and expecting him/her to come to you and admitted that they were wrong and they were sorry. Some of them did regret and apologized but MANY of them did not even know what they did wrong. So, stop wasting your time analyzing why bad things happened to you and create your own happiness without destroying yourself and others. Happiness does not mean you could do whatever makes you happy, there are rules and limitation to everything on earth. Drinking, food, shopping and partying makes you happy, but if you do it way too much, you will ended up hurting yourself. 

Live in the present!

We could not change the past and we do not know what tomorrow holds, so why bother and worry way too much about it? We should just cherish the present moment, make it worth our time to remember, to smile when we think about it in the future. There are two things in the past, one that is worth to remember and one that is worth to forget. Only carrying/taking with you what is important and worthy of your soul and time, leave the emptiness, bitterness, sadness, unhealthy lifestyle and unhappiness behind so that they will not contaminated or dictate your future.

Remember that happiness is a journey which means every single step that you take should create happiness until the day God calls you home to His everlasting arms. We all going to die someday, the when-how and where is unknown, that is why we should just enjoy our life before it ends because life is short. 

The journey of happy life does not mean we are always happy, because there is nobody on this earth, past-present and future people, who will never experience fail-hurt-death-sickness-drama in life. Everyone has its turn to experienced pain and gain, because it is part of life and living with other people with different background and characters. 

Sometimes we must experience the bitterness to understand and appreciate the sweetness of life, that is of course if we are wise enough not to do the same mistake twice or picked up/chose the same people twice (could be different people with the same attitude/character than the first mistake we made).

Chose, create, live your happiness and enjoy your journey!

For Better or For Worse


I truly LOVE that quote!
By the way, you should check out her website: http://tolovehonorandvacuum.com/

Anyway..

I love that quote because marriage life is not always about the fun, love, holding hands and great sex. There are times when none of that happened for various reasons. However, even when things gets harder or even worse than before, we must keep in mind why we got married on the first place and fighting (work together) to make it work, to fix it, to make it better.

I will not write a lot about this issue because that quote already speaks EVERYTHING about marriage life; problems, conquer it and be a victorious lovebirds for the rest of your life. 

Sometimes things must get worse before it becomes better. Sometimes it must be broken so that you could have a better, renewal life. Sometimes life must tasted the bitterness so that we could appreciate the sweetness out of it and be thankful. 

Those who survives the storms comes out stronger, better and wiser. Facing the problems, solving it with the one you love, not running away from it. Problems will always be there even in a perfect situation, there will always be problems. So, giving up on your marriage and thinking that the next one will be "problem free" will not solve your misery, because the next one might be crazier than this one LOL.

PS. Of course it depends on your "problems" as well, like I always said, if it becomes an abusive relationship and your life (and kids) are in danger, then be wise to seek help and save yourself!

Strong, Brave and Humble

Be strong when your are weak, brave when you are scared and humble when you are victorious.

Our body, mind and soul could do amazing things even when we thought we would not be able to do it. Our weakest moment could be the time when our true, inner and most of the time, hidden, strength comes out and fight back. 

We survive because we try to do our best and the result surprised us, because we limit our ability to do something greater and settle for less, until something happened and we have no other choice but to survive. In our survival mode, the strength will rise and shine to its limit or I should say the ability to be the best.

Bravery is not just for those who fear nothing in life, but also and especially needed for those who worry a lot, freaked out too many times over little things, and scared of almost everything in life. Yes, life is (sometimes) unpredictable and is a scary place to live, but life also happens in a way that we never thought possible.

Whatever meant to happen will took place, whether we like it or not, ready or not, expected it or not. We could not control everything in life, so why bother by worrying about things that might never gonna happen to you anyway?. Deal with what is in front of you now, take it one day at a time, everyday has its own trial and triumph. 

So, try to be brave even when you are scared simply means to put up a fight even when you think you might not win the battle. But when you fight back, you do not give up easily, you put up a good show and who knows? you might win the battle, but if you never try, you never know, right? ;)

Strength is mostly mental than physical! If you set your mind to do it, the result will be much better than when you already think of "I can't do it!". When you set your mind to try your best, bravery will rises in you and will gives you the boost that you need to face everything in life.

Now, winners are those who defeated their enemies, may it be your own struggles and problems within yourself or with other people. Whatever it is or whoever they are that you defeated, keep in mind to stay humble. Yes, you are happy, do your happy dance and share your success with others, you deserve it. But, stay humble, because when your pride takes over your humility, you will not go far. A great leader and winner showed others how to be success, they do not keep it to themselves, they shared. A great leader and winner help others to reach their goals. A great leader and winner is the role model to others, that includes being humble, wise and smart, especially in victorious moment, when your character is being tested.

True compliment comes from other people who praises you based on your performance, accomplishment and testimony. Action speaks louder than words and people will see your action and hear/listen to your words. Be careful, don't let you defeated your own victorious  moment. 

Seek wisdom!
