A high school friend posted a link
on FB on 30 things not to do in this life. I found it rather encouraging
and inspiring so I thought I'd create an entry for me to remember the
pointers but instead of Don'ts I transformed them to Do's just to give
it a positive tone, which is more inviting for me personally..
Sort of a YES, man kind of act, like in the movie. Anyway here goes.
30 Things to Do.
1. Spend time with the right people. 2. Face your problems. 3. Stay true to yourself. 4. Know that it's okay to put your needs first. 5. Be yourself. 6. Live in the present. 7. Forgive yourself. 8.

It occurs to me that majority of us get side tracked alongside life that we most often that not forget what/who truly matters. (And to consider that a portion of us may still not know)
At the end of the day.. with the conscious realization that all lifespan comes to an end.. Say 70-80 or 90 years in a human life if one is lucky enough in this day and age.. how would you decide to spend each and every waking day, well early in life when you still have all the chance in the world?
Let it not be too late. It doesn't have to take a major cosmological phenomena to finally set our priorities straight.
Love genuinely. Be true to express yourself. Make time to do the things that you love with the person or persons you love the most. It is the best invaluable investment you will ever make, I believe.
And pray. (Faith will always go a long way.)
Make it a life of significance. Everyday is a day of possibilities. You may never know when your time is up.
There are days when I thought eagerly about writing an experience I wanted to remember through this blog but I guess, in those several occasions, the desire was not compelling enough for me to get a move on with things. And now I'm here confounded, with no particular topic in mind (I tend to forget.) The world works in mysterious ways. Lol. Or it's just that, at times, we think but act differently.

Anyway now that I'm here, I remind myself to let go and let God. Freedom is love. Love is freedom.
Grateful grateful grateful for the many blessings. Live & love life!
Wake up and breathe in the fresh air (in Manila?) "Isipin mo nalang fresh air yan" Do not underestimate the power of the human psyche. How we respond changes everything, Learn through practice and observation. Negative impulses must be tamed and evaluated, transformed to conscious action.
Choose to be happy. Enjoy the tasks ahead. Radiate the positivity. Aim for a higher purpose. Believe, trust, pray. Give thanks countless times a day and mean it. We live in a big and marvelous place and it's a limited life. There so much to learn. So much to see and experience. Sing, dance.. do whatever feels right. Just LIVE.
And if you have a minute, why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go? So why don't we go?
