Strong, Brave and Humble

via

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!

My Getaway

My Getaway..

Sometimes when I need to find peace,

I run into nature,

I hide on its beauty.

My Getaway..

Sometimes when life feels overwhelming,

I seek wisdom,

I listen to her.

My Getaway..

Sometimes when the uncertain scared me,

I surrender to the all powerful one,

I let my fear go.

My Getaway..

I found you everywhere,

I rest my case,

No more worry because life is beautiful,

 My Getaway..

The ONE who knows my secret,

my deepest fear,

my glorious moment,

my best and worst thoughts,

my insecurity,

my pain and my gain.

My Getaway,

I am saved with you,
perfectly covered with grace,
overwhelmed with love,
living with hope anchored on my soul.

My Perfect Getaway!

Forgive and Forget

via

People Remember What You Said,

People Remember How You Said It,

People Remember How You Made Them Feel,

People Might (choose to) Forgives,

People Must (choose to) Moves On,

But, People Never Forget Some Moments,

Either Those Moments Are Too Precious,

Too Beautiful To Forget,

Or..

Too Painful To Forget.

Like I Always Said,

Our Brain Is Not A Computer,

That You Could Delete,

The Brain Remembers,

Even When The Heart Forgives!

Speak Wisely, Act Wiser!

THINK and TONGUE

(via)

Food for thought, right? It is such a great reminder for all of us to understand the power of our tongue. The chaos a small tongue could create, the power it brings to a broken heart, a sweet sound, a memory it could create, the war it could started or the peace it could accomplished.

The BIBLE has some great verses regarding tongue, check these verses out:

- Proverbs 21:23 "Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble."

- Ephesians 4:29 "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear."

- Proverbs 12:18 "There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing."

- Psalm 34:13 "Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit."

- Proverbs 15:1 "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."

- 1 Peter 3:10 "For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit"

- Proverbs 17:28 "Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent."

- Proverbs 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits."

- James 3:10 "From the same mouth come blessing and cursing."

- Ecclesiastes 3:7 "A time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;"

- James 3:5 "So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!

Let us be wise to use our brain and heart. Let's decide what words comes to the mind to stay there and goes straight to the heart. Let's also clean up some junks that do not have the right to stay in our mind or heart. Let's filtered every information before we give them a green light to go out from our mouths and speak words that we will never be able to stop or take it back once it comes out of the mighty mouth.

Remember, a tongue might be small but it has the power to create a peace or war. BIG thing comes in a little package eh?! ;)
