We cannot just close our eyes and be blind of the reality that the world has gone mad this past few months. The recent earthquakes and several calamities has put hundreds of people’s lives six feet below the ground. This is a very shocking earth condition and we cannot predict where will be the next earthquake and how many lives will be sacrificed. The only thing that we need to do is to put everything on God’s loving hand. He is the ultimate source if hope in this hopeless situation.
I have this old radio with me playing songs from the past. I tuned in to the clearest station and found myself dancing with the melody of a song very familiar to me. I dont know but it really made a dramatic impact to me. My so-called life has been so cruel for the past years and the only antidote for this kind of feeling is going back to the good old memories and tasting once more the sweetness of the past. By this kind of thinking, I feel like having my own time machine and dimension. Thank you good old memories. I’ll forever treasure you.
Life really has so many things to offer. Good or bad and depending on the situations and decisions we have. If we will try to examine our contemporary times, we could sense some longings of people who are so consumed with this FREE stuff. There are so many groups and tribes existing and an issue of division is taking place because of the desire to be free. Thus, self expression plays an important role. Gone are the days when people are doing just one activity. There are even some loners who’d prefer being alone because that is their own way of self expression. While I was writing this post, I was thinking of the society where I was and how being free affects the lives of each individual. Being free is abused and used in a selfish manner. I mean, we have all the right to be free. Free to do what we want and free to express ourselves, provided, we must not forget doing what is right and investing on friendship and relationship because whether we like it or not, there are still people involved in every action that we do.. Think of this.
In my most excruciating pain, i dwell to people who experienced the same thing I did. Frankly speaking, I am so eager to listen to someone’s story of victories and overcoming situations like mine. I have been doing so many things in the past and there are also several ups and downs and I am so thankful that there came some expert people who changed me emotionally and strengthen me with their words of encouragements. Surely, encouragement is a nice word. It has been my refuge and my heart is so sincere when I’m talking of my struggles and people who came along the way. It is a keepsake of things that was long neglected. Thank YOU.
I am not so concerned with social issues and every activities of people in my country. In fact, I am not the kind of person who always stay in front of a television listening to each individual’s cry about what’s happening to the government his beloved country has. I have so many things to do and believe me, these things are more useful than listening to debates on which there is no particular winner. If there is then the other side will charge the other of cheating. Hmmm.. I was doing some extra personal health development when I heard what happened to Haiti. Suddenly my subconscious mind was wide awakened and the devastation seemed to be a wake up call for me to give just a part of my selfish ears to the news. I was moved. There are so many things that happened recently that I do not know. I’m not trying to be updated on latest happenings but just putting my heart in the issues, thinking of something to do.
Whenever we hear the word expectation, we tend to look at it with eyes of negativity knowing that expectations are not good. We often hear stories about not meeting expectations and the result is obvious, “misunderstanding.” There is no conflict about this word, in fact, it has never lost its real essence, only depending on one’s perception and interpretation. Let us look at the good side of expectation. To expect means to desire something. If you desire something good from someone then you must expect. You need to expect in order to mativate him or her to do what is right. Expectation also drives someone into action and go for excellence. If I didn’t expect something from the team I am handling there will never be good result because in our acts of service, lack of efforts will give way to procrastination to come in. And that is something we need to prevent.
