WIN OVER THE ENEMY

The way of God’s kingdom is to win over by reason, dialogue and love. Winning over also “eliminates” the enemy because it resolves the enmity, and so the enemy is transformed into a friend.Fr. Joel Jason

This is one of the best advices regarding winning over. We were taught in this world to fight with or enemies and win over but it turns out that we still feel bad because someone still got hurt. When Jesus came, he showed us how to love our enemy. Very unusual and is not easy to do but a very good thing to learn. Winning over is stopping the cycle of violence and revenge by showing mercy and understanding to those who need it. For the Father in heaven will bless us in living His teachings.

Take the higher road. Forgive.

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Grant that I may not so much seek to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.

One day I was furious upon receiving an email. Some people do not know how to make a powerful request instead they push you authoritatively just like an egoistic power play.  As I calm myself, I called my mom. She quickly understands my point and reminds me to put my energy into positive things instead of wasting it to nonsense ones.

This morning I read the readings, First reading is somewhat related to the feelings that I felt that time and the message is to forgive.  Funny that the priest’s message in the mass yesterday was to read the bible; according to him it has all the answers to our concerns.

Sometimes it is very hard to go on and live a righteous life because the people around us always mock us, make fun out of us, belittle or abilities and steal our dreams. But we can free our self from this by believing in our own ability, being with like minded people and continuously building our own self esteem so that we will be strong enough in facing adversaries. Let us be busy honing or craft and perfecting the talent and abilities given to us. It will be the Lord who will bless us and always guide us to the right path. It can also help to know that those people who do the unkind things to others are those deeply wounded and is just longing for acceptance as well. Let us understand their current situation wishing that someday they will also have their peace!

going through the changes

As I have said last week,I wanted to do some changes...but then again, all changes will face some resistance. It tests us on how serious we are in undergoing the change that we want...Well, for the pictures, obviously, I still don't have pictures...i am not comfortable taking pictures using my phone...and i don't have a digicam that come in handy...for this, i have 2 options, to be comfortable with my phone or buy a new cam...well its workable anyway.

When I posted my last blog, a friend recommended a site that teaches better ways to do blogging. Its good but then again, I can't find enough time to listen to the audio and do the tasks. However, i did started with day 1 and 2 even if i already have day 7 in my mail. The video thought me that even name of my blog site is important. Knowing that, i wonder if i can still change this blog site. Peace!

For the regular updates, no commitment yet but Im doing my best to create a post at least once a week then I am hoping that I can increase the frequency...

I am still positive that I can do this... someday, I will also be known in the online community

boring

One of my goals this year is to increase my online presence. One of the things that though of is reviving this blog site. Initially I just want some avenue to express  my thoughts. But when I saw my site before I sleep. I saw that its boring!

SAD to hear but the 1st step to change is awarenes....I would accept suggestions to further make this site more exciting and informative. However these are ythe few things that I thought of:

1. I will add pictures...some people bare visual and would be attractive to pictures..i need to have my own camera again...

2. Have a theme or build a story...like some people who do projects where people could go back regularly....I am thinking of fashion blogs, sharing my own fashion sense, beauty regimens, self improvement and i am open to more suggestions

3. Commitment to make the regular schedule of blogging. 

I am hoping this will be the last boring blog that i will write...haha...

Organizing my room project

Ever since I was a child I like keeping all sorts of things…all my toys, all my dresses, shirts, gifts. All of them are kept in my box. Once a year I looked at my boxes and try to sort out which will stay and which will be thrown away. Usually it happens after classes. But now that I am grown up, I organize my room more often, especially when we have visitors and when my eyes got sore by all of the stuffs piling in my table.

Just last week, we have a new room mate and she is kind of organized than me. With all the piles that I am seeing in my table I got embarrassed and I want to clean my table and the whole room more often. I started with this last week however I still need some more tools to help me organize. I bought some more this lunch and hopefully this will clean the table later.

Having a clean room is actually a good practice, same as with our self; we should always keep a clean heart. We should regularly throw our baggages. They   are not helpful. Having a clean heart gave us peace of mind and happiness. At the end of the day its starts with a goal until we make it part of our life…

Sometimes

Its not happy to see myself busy doing things that are temporary and not lasting. Now that I know my options and that I deserve more, I am not satisfied anymore with what is available. The reason why I should be busy with things that will create my future just the way i like it.

But then again at present I must finish all things fast to be able to attain the life that i want. unless I stop doing foolish things that do not contribute to what i want, my precious time will continuously be wasted instead of being efficient. This is very ideal but i will not stop until its done. I may be tired already but i know He will give me strength until this journey is over and it will all be worth it. Not just to have time and money freedom but to have the ability to help other people BIG time, being able to help the many instead of only few.

Creating a new habit

I was dead tired yesterday. I had dinner with friends at a shabu shabu resto...its fun, my first time. after dinner we had tea at my favorite tea house...we chat until midnight and when i got home, i just wanted to sleep. after fixing myself, i hurriedly went on to my bed and effortlessly fall a sleep. when suddenly i heard the alarm!!! it was like a nap and i really want to sleep more....i stopped y alarm and went back to bed...after few minutes i forced myself up so that i can take a bath before my housemate. i was actually in the middle of going back to sleep or taking a bath when a thought struck me...I am training to be an entrepreneur and in business there are no paid leaves unless i establish my passive income streams.  I am on my 1st week of waking up early and as i expected, i am tested if i am serious. i know i can make this new habit and same i way i can change my life to be better for me and my love ones....

Good news everyday!

As I browse the net last night, I was strucked by a comment that I read from a friend. It was good news! I was caught off guard and noticeable surprised and then I commented it was good news to finally settle all things. I kept on reminding myself that it was good news, but I know I was affected as I tell my story to everybody.

Its funny how I reminisce and just now I was reminded by the article that I read yesterday to live in the now. This makes us enjoy our current situation, thus we find happiness easily.

Today as I start a new day, I asked guidance from the Lord, to help me live in my present situation. Though I am focusing in having a better life in the next 3 – 5 years, appreciating my current situation will make this journey even more memorable.

I thank the Lord for my current job. Though I stayed in one company for the last 6 years, I am still grateful that I was able to learn many things from the different positions that I had and the many people that I worked with. Each person contributed something for my growth.

I thank the Lord for my family, who has been very supportive ever since. Though we are not perfect, we still complement each other. I thank the lord as well for the protective parents that I have, they always have my best interest. Sometimes we do not understand them but at the end of the day they know better.

I thank the Lord for my business partners; they have been good friends as well for the past 2 years. I am looking forward for many more years of doing business and a better life for all of us. Soon we can also help other people change their life and create the life they always dream of.

I thank the Lord for the business that I have, it gives me growth that I need to succeed. And soon I know that I will also have the time freedom to do the things that I love and be with the people that matters most to me.

Above, are just some of the things that I am grateful about and I know that If I will remind myself to be at the present, my days will be more brighter, exciting and full of surprises. I am happy for everyone’s success. Let us count our blessings and be a blessing to our neighbors.

New Year's Reolution

Happy New Year Everyone!

Its now almost the end of week 1 for January and I am quite sure that time will fly by fast once again and for all we know its Christmas again. Nut before that day came, I have some new success habits to create. This success habits will support my Goal of becoming Ruby by My birthday month.

My schedule is suppose to be like this: I wake up at 5 am to give me enough time to wake up  to my senses, cook breakfast, do some laundries while listening to audio books. I just encountered some struggles using my phone for playing the audio book. I think it would be better if I buy a CD player or speaker to blast the audio book while I do those tasks. At around 7 AM, I should be done with my morning regimen and is ready to go to Don Bosco church for the morning mass. After the mass, Ill do my work as Pre-sales engineer in FPI and after office Ill focus myself in finding business partners by doing the demo and doing the presentation. And just before I retire at night, I have to make my presence higher in the online community. I will update my blog sites until I earn followers and become known in the community. For this year, I am also looking at being more active in twitter and FB as I upgrade my gadgets.

This 2012 will be bright for me because I choose to be my own new self, Happy and financially free.
