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!

Bad Things..Bad Things..Go Away!?!


Many times we only appreciate the good things and cursed the bad things because it is bad anyway and therefore we do not want anything to do with it.

It is true that nobody wants a bad news, experience or life, but the truth is the bad things that God allowed to happened in our lives are great tools for us to learn.

Many times, bad things happened because we chose a bad decision anyway, but there are many times as well when we tried our best to be a great person, do the right things and bad things still happened to us. Meanwhile, there are a lot of people that we personally know, and many strangers as well, who lives their lives "not as good" as we think what "good" is anyway, and they have all the "luck" in the world.

Why do bad things happened to good people, right?
But then again, what is and who is the good people?
What is our standard of goodness in a person's life?
What's good for us might be bad for others and what's bad for us might not be as bad as we thought for other people's standard.

At the end of the day,
It will always comes back to yourself,
as a person.

It is easier to point finger at others than to take a closer look at ourselves!

You know what..,
If God allowed bad things to happened in your life,
It simply means that you are a strong person, He knows you can handle it!

When I feel overwhelmed with life's struggles and problems,
I told God that I have learned my lesson and that I am not that strong, I need Him to help me and strengthened me because I cannot take it anymore.

Admitting that we have a problem is a first step,
Asking for help and actually doing something to change the "bad" circumstances is step number two,
Surrender to God, after doing your part and hope for the best to take place is the last thing that we could do as a human being.

There are things that is just beyond our control and understanding,
Sometimes we just need to let it go and stop over-analyzing them.

We all have our limit when it comes to strength and weaknesses.
We all have our own ways to cope with problems in life,
We all have our own escape.
Just make sure that the escape is not worst than the actual problem,
because if we picked the right escape route, then we will find freedom.
If we make a wrong escape route, we will add more problems to the existing ones,
we create more stressed in our life.

Sometimes what seemed to be the best escape plan is not the best after all, even though it offers you the quickest way to find a temporary way out.
You can have fun or "forget" your problems in a certain amount of time,
But when you wake up,
Your problems are still there and because you chose the wrong/temporary escape plan,
You ended up with more problems in your life.

Why do bad things happened in our life (my own version lol) :
- Our own choice that leads us there
- Other people's decision that affected us
- Sin and Temptation
- There is a great lesson that we will learn and will benefits our future and others
- To show God's greatness in the middle of our weakness
- To see/understand that we are stronger than we thought
-For us to appreciate the good things, even the little things in life, because we never know how good things are until bad things happened to us
- It's just part of life, good and bad exists

Solution:
- We live, experience, learn, move on!
- We live, experience, learn and help others who might benefits from our own experience
- We live and we survive
- Do not compare your struggles with other people's victory

Psalm 23
via

You are not the only one with problems,
You are not alone,
You will be fine,
You are stronger,
Keep your head up and keep on going!

Fight,
Defeat the enemy,
Victory is yours!
:)

Bad things will happen, whether we like it or not.
It's a part of life!
Don't ask for bad things to never happened in life because you will be disappointed,
Ask for wisdom, courage and strength to face it.
Don't ask for bad things to go away when you are the one who made it happened in the first place,
face it and solve it like a responsible human being.
Don't play the blame game, it will never solve anything.
Running away is an act of a coward, face it like a warrior, and you will  not get haunted with your own problems.
Just do you part,
always let God involved!

Death, you are defeated!


"O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”
(1 Corinthians 15:55)

Have a great Easter's Weekend!

Embrace His love,
Receive His forgiveness,
Get to know Him,
Give Jesus a chance!

Through JESUS' resurrection.

A life without bondage,
A life with testimony.

A life that brings hope-faith-love for others,
A changing life that will changed others,
So that they may know Jesus,
So that they may live.

A selfless life with great purposes,
Visions,

the HOPE,
the FREEDOM,
