Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

An old but very beautiful poem...
It will lift you up somehow.. It will inspire you..

Sometime in our life, we were hurt by someone we love or we want to love..
sometimes our friends, or sometime those who are close to us..
But the thing is , even though we were hurt by those people & we feel that we are alone

God will be there, he will give us strength, hope and love..
To face a new beginning..
He gave us Morning to see that darkness is over and light is here…
A beautiful and colorful rainbow after the rain..
A beautiful butterfly in the flowers..

A true friend will come in times of need..
We can never stop the challenges and problems…
Even though sometimes in our mind it is possible.. but its not..
Just always be Happy..
Be positive..

Someday, somehow, you will know the answer Why it cannot be..
We will know the purpose and the reason why it happen..
The reason for everything..
Don’t count how many times you fall,
Just Stand up again and face the new challenges..
Though sometime its tough and hard to do..
God will not leave us...

Just continue to go on. Continue to Hope..
Have faith and love...



Look at the bright side of life

Awiting Alay Ko Sa Iyo... Sana maramdaman mo...

Narito, ang Puso ko
Inaalay lamang sa'yo
Aking pangarap kahit saglit
Ang Ikaw at Ako'y magkapiling

Minsan pang makita ka
Damdamin ay sumasaya
Lungkot napapawi
Buhay ko'y ngingiti
Sa sandaling pag-ibig mo'y makapiling

Puso ko'y narito
Naghihintay sa pag-ibig mo

Ikaw lamang ang inaasam

Tanggapin mo ang puso kong narito

Hanggang matapos ang kailanman

Bawat kilos mo't galaw

Minamasdan, tinatanaw

Laging nangangarap, kahit saglit

Ang ikaw at ako'y magkapiling

Kahit di malaman o maintindihan

Kahit na masugatan ang puso

Naghihintay sayo
Maghihintay ako...
