Some Points To Ponder

           As we end this month of November, allow me to share with you some insights into these thoughts to ponder which I believe have significant impact on our lives. Everyday we learn from our experiences and interactions with people and things. One good thing in life though that these are free and available everywhere but sad to note that many among us fail to fulfil this task due to our other concerns.

Anyone, here are points to ponder and my reflections on them:

" There's no sense aiming for a goal with no arrow in your bow."

          Goals are pertinent in our life yet we also need to equip ourselves with the necessary tools and resources so as to reach them. As mentioned beforehand, our everyday learnings allow us to grow better as a person and through this, our readiness to face the future squarely is attainable. Hindrances will come along the way but if we are determined enough to attain our goals, then we are also ready to face both yin and yang of life.

"The surest way to gain respect is to earn it by conduct."

          Much agreeable to me and I believe it is related to what they say that love begets love thus if we sow beautiful things to others then we can also expect to receive similar things on the process. If we treat others with dignity and honour then surely others will also endow us those two. 

"It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it."

         What is  essential to this point is that we must know how to handle and carry ourselves in all times, both in good and bad times, in smooth or rough sailing moments, in bad or god condition. At the outset, we should be the first ones who know exactly ourselves including our dynamics, volitions, weaknesses, likes and dislikes, etc.. and with this self- knowledge, we therefore are knowledgeable enough to handle those varying life chapters.

          More points to ponder next time around guys. Good luck to all our journeys in life and remember always that the best way to approach each journey is with openness and excitement.

Another Beautiful Day to Cherish

          As I receive each day, it always dawns on me the image of a gift. Indeed that's exactly how I perceive every single day that comes to me. Look at this day, everything appeared as a gift  like when the time that I woke up during the day, the moments I shared with my family this day, and even with the other activities which I got involved today, they concretised a gift which for me is something that I need to also share with others. 

          Basing on my personal experiences, all those whom I interact everyday and the list of activities that I perform each day engage me into a positive vibrations about life. Consequently, tasks and relationships become light. On the other hand, I also believe that whenever we radiate positive vibrations to others, we will also welcome similar positive vibes in return. Moreover, I know that by having such positive outlook in life, it will also assist me to perform in a successful means my endeavours of the day. However, life would tell us that being constantly focus in everything we do is not an easy thing.  It entails a rich patience and stability.

          Patience in the sense that being humans, we tend to overdo other activities in a day resulting to us being so tired and stressed at the end of the day. I don't mean that it is completely wrong neither that it is not possible since many gifted and trained individuals are capable to accomplish such task however a large number of us are at times lost in this focusing world. Can you remember any incident in your life wherein you are trying so hard to perform a specific task when suddenly a separate and unrelated thing popped up? Or it seems that you are on the verge of making it to the last of the finish line when suddenly your mind wanders far away from you? After all, these could be so frustrating on your part.

           Thus it is with such humility and gratitude that I salute my God for allowing me to stay focus on my tasks and relationships.  And may this be my constant prayer that I will continue to be focused on one thing at a time so that I can also achieve quality in my relationships and tasks. 

     

                                                 

Stress: How Do You Cope with Them?

        I just read a book authored by Bernard Seal entitled " Academic Encounters Human Behavior" and in one of his articles in this book, he made mention about the presence of stress in our life. He defines stress as " stimuli or events in our environment that make physical and emotional demands on us and sometimes it applies to our physical and emotional reactions to such stimuli." 

          If we keep our focus on our environment, certain events can  become stressful to us such as the traffic, financial deprivation, crisis in the family, loss of a loved one and many more. So many that these stresses evolve in simple yet at times complicated forms yet personally, I believe that what counts most for us in any stressful situation is how do we indeed cope with the situation.

          We have different kinds of coping and it even differs according to each event that happens in our life. Basically it is innate in us that we refrain from allowing ourselves to be harmed and to be left out. Self- preservation is a very essential factor for all of us hence in any stressful event, we also have our own means of coming out positively in spite of the odds at hand. Live a happy life and avoid stress.

What I Want My Kid To Remember During The Holidays

Note: "As an  Amazon Associate, I earn fromqualifying purchases. Amazon and Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com,Inc. or its affiliates."

         Amidst the business of this holiday season, we are caught up, at times, in a day to day bickering due to all its fast changing paces. However, when we come to our loved ones especially with our kids, nevertheless we consistently see to it that we leave them nothing but the most positive influences in life.

          Personally, I want my kid to remember especially on this season the idea of sharing. In fact, I believe in what others say that one of the most essential things in life is sharing. Yes. That's exactly what I want my little boy to remember when he becomes a grown up. I want him to relive and relive the feeling of being so wonderful when he is able to share his presence, time, skills etc. with others. The idea of sharing goes beyond one's limitations such as physical, social, spiritual. Although it is a fact that we all have our own limitations yet what counts most for us all is that we can muster sufficient courage to embrace them and move on with life. 

Melbourne's Yarra River: by Angelyn Vania Sihombing

          I need to show to my kid that one's real strength goes deeper and never lies merely on the surface. Moreover, at times, paradoxically, we come to terms just with our own weaknesses and never appreciates our own strength. That's exactly what I want to impart with  my kid that when he grows up, essential things in life are those which are kept deep in ourselves such as our values and traits.....considered as our treasures and beyond any price.
