Wednesday musings : March 29, 2017



Kay daming naganap sa mga panahong lumipas. Its been a while since my last entry. 'musta na kayo?

In my case, all is well sa biyaya ng Diyos. Everything seems to fall into the right places. Para sa akin, malaking blessing na yun.  Pangarap ko lang naman is magkaroon ng tahimik na buhay. If there is peace, happy na ako. Pero siyempre patuloy pa rin naman ang ating pagsusumikap. I may have wanted a simple life for myself, but I don't live alone and certainly can not live for myself alone. That is why I always put my best effort in everything that I do. May mga pananagutan tayo sa buhay. My mga tungkulin na dapat gampanan.

Mahirap ang buhay. Yes, totoo yun. Sabi nga sa aral ng Buddhism, "Life is full of suffering". Yan ang kauna-unahan sa kaniyang "4 noble truths". Wala naman kasing libre sa mundong ibabaw. Lahat kailangang pagsikapan. Malalasap lamang ang sarap matapos itong paghirapan. But it feels good right? Ang lasapin ang tamis ng tagumpay. Ang tikman ang bunga ng ating pinaghirapan. Bawat patak ng pawis ay may katumbas na tamis ng ngiti.

We work hard not just for ourselves. Maybe some do. But if you think about it more, you'll realize that its not just you who benefits from the hard works of your labor. Ang mga nakakasalamuha mo sa araw araw ay nakikinabang din sa iyong pagssiikap. Likewise, tayo rin ay nakikinabang sa pagsusumikap ng iba. For me, that is enough motivation to keep on persevering. Kayod, tulak, kabig.... just keep moving. We all belong in an endless circle of life. A never ending loop. A continuously moving cycle.

Masarap ang pakiramdam ng nakapagbibigay. A little of your time, a little of your attention, presence and perhaps love..... Kung anong meron ka yun ang ibigay mo. Hindi naman tayo makapagbibigay ng bagay na wala tayo. Minsan kahit isang ngiti lamang. That smile that radiates from the heart within is more than enough to brighten someone else's day. A word of kindness. Words that encourages. Maari itong magbigay lakas loob sa mga nawawalan ng pag-asa. Most importantly, an act of kindness. Sabi nga nila, "we can never go wrong with kindness". Sa ano mang gawain natin, let us do it with kindness. In each of our encounters, let us display kindness. Afterall, the world we live in needs kindness. So... Just be kind. It touches lives, it changes perspective, it heals all wounds.
