KIMspiration: Just believe!!!

I always have this mantra for myself and it never fails! Of course, I don't have a perfect life and it's not always just good stuff happening, but blessings come pouring in! Alongside with this mantra, I also pray  fervently to God and work on my goals. =)

KIMspiration: Remain Calm

This is exactly what I needed to advise myself right now.

This also goes to all of you who have worries, fears and fights that you have to face in life. We live in a world of adversity and full of uncertainty. 

Only God's love is constant.

Let's all give it up to Him and trust in His undying love and guidance.

Why worry when we can PRAY.

KIMspiration: 16 Harsh Truths that Make Us Stronger

Good morning! When I opened my Facebook personal account, I saw Ate Milky shared a picture full of wisdom...

Absolutely true...

KIMspiration: Never compare!

I was guilty of comparing myself. I used to compare myself to other people, especially to those that I look up to. I was like, "she has this, she has that, she went to this place, she's like this" bla bla bla. It was horrible!!!

It created an inferiority complex ,and believe me, it's one of the worse feelings in the whole world! It pushed me to brag about things that I have or accomplished, just so to cover up that envy feeling that I have. It was like showing off that I'm one of the best (if not the best).

Yes, it made me feel a bit better.

But not for long...

That gave some people an impression that I was a show-off, boastful and conceited.

Which I really WAS.

However, I guess when we age, comes maturity as well. I realized that the solution to that abhorrent emotion was not showing-off, rather, NOT TO COMPARE.

Simple.

It took a while for me to genuinely accept and practice this. It wasn't easy. There would be times that the "comparing-me" would sip through. I immediately stop and remind myself, that instead of comparing and seeing things that I don't have, I should just COUNT MY BLESSINGS.

I definitely don't have everything and I probably won't, but I can never deny that I'm blessed by God. He blessed me with a beautiful, wonderful and supportive family; I was able to study things that I'm interested at, I have jobs that I love, and somehow, I made people happy in my own little ways.

I became aware that we all have our own blessings and battles in life. Mine may not be the same as yours, vice-versa. The bottom line is, recognize your blessings, be thankful and be happy for other's good fortune.

If there's something that you really want to achieve, by all means, try your hardest to get it (in a good way, that is). I'm not saying that it's bad to dream nor to want what other people have; just don't get too caught up with it that you're already hurting other people, and worse, yourself.

Without you even realizing it.

Anyway, I still get proud especially if it's about my daughter's achievement or milestone. I don't know of any parent who isn't like this. LOL

But whenever I do tell people about it, it's due to happiness.

I am now happier, appreciative and grateful than I ever was!

It's amazinggggggggggggggg!!! =))))

I've learned my lesson well. *wink*

KIMspiration: Big things; small things

Patience is a virtue.

One cannot plow a field overnight. 

KIMspiration: "Life is short, enjoy your coffee"

This is my way to happiness. The coffee? uhhmmm... Could be. 

Anyway, what I really want to say...

Don't stress out on little things! If you make a mistake-- SMILE! Believe and strive to be better next time. Remember that "big" people, those that we admire and look up to, made a gazillion of errors before getting to where they are now. Success doesn't have a short cut. It's always a risk. Shoot and miss, sometimes.

And other people, yes, there are always a bunch of those that irk us. One sentence for them, " Mind your own business!" ; and, one sentence for you, " Don't mind them!". Makes sense, huh?

The world will be much, much better if we just mind our own business! If they point at your faults, no, don't point at theirs. It'll just create a domino effect of fights. You don't want that. You'll be feeding their need for your attention. Just bear in mind that nobody's perfect. They might even have committed way worse than you! They are your secret admirers; they secretly want your life and/or they secretly want to be YOU! So, yeah, consider them as a compliment instead of being stressed out by them.

Do what you enjoy, do what makes you happy. We can't please everybody, cliche, but very true. Accept that, and you'll be feeling and be doing soooooooooo good.

Life is short, enjoy your coffee! *wink*
