Naalala ko nuon, nung bata pa ako, I always tell to my papa and ate na kapag may gusto manligaw sakin, magpapaligaw ako mga 10 yrs. Kasi love is patient. Gusto ko sa lalaking sigurado sakin, kayang maghintay, may respeto sakin, mahal ako unconditionally.

But as I grew up, I became impatient. I settled for less. I forgot about that kid who knew better.

Now, struggling with co-parenting. I never imagined na mangyayari sa anak ko ung broken family. But yeah. I can’t change the outcome of my wrong doings. What I can do now, is to take responsibility. Do what I have to do. Don’t do what I shouldn’t.

I need to have more patience. Waiting season should be enjoyed so it will not turn into waste.

I want to see myself having that hourglass body figure, financial freedom, happiness and fulfillment in whatever I am called to do in this life. I want to achieve those big and small dreams that Ive always wanted. I want to love myself more than anyone could. I deserve all the best things in life.

What have I done.

5 things that will make someone love you deeply.

1. Be his/her believer - Most of us people are uncertain what the future holds; even the most confident human being with a great plan. So how you can become someone’s believer when they don’t know what will be the result of their plan? Do this: Look at him/her in the eyes and say “You got this. I believe in you”. Be true to your words and let him/her feel that you really believe in him more than he believes in himself/herself. Be their motivation to push through even on encertainties! 

2. Deep acceptance - Every human being has flaws. Nobody’s perfect. Be the person who will accept someone whatever imperfections they have. But first you need to accept that you are flawed and you love yourself to have deep acceptance to your partner. 

3. Deep connection - Let him be comfortable on telling you stories that are too personal or not too important. Be a good listener and avoid highlighting their mistakes. Instead, affirm positive words to him/her when necessary and let them feel that you are always ready to listen without any judgement. Be comfortable with silence. 

4. Encourage his/her purpose - Encourage him/her by focusing on your purpose and show him that you are enjoying your life reaching your goal. Show how passionate you are about it. When things doesn’t seem well, you still hold onto that dream. Be his/her inspiration.

5. Appreciation - Appreciate even the smallest efforts he/she is doing for you or to himself/herself. Notice and highlight always how great he/she is. How capable he/she is.

To the one who keeps motivating people,

I know there were times you need to hear the encouragement you need. I am sorry if no one has ever noticed you need healing too. I am sorry if no one noticed that you are just a human too, a human who gets tired and lost, a human who needs a hand for help. I am so sorry if no one is asking if you cry for help too. I am sorry if everyone expects you to have a perfect life because you chose to have a positive outlook in everything that you do.

Today, I want to pray for you. I pray that you continously encourage other people with your words and you never get tired on praying for them even in those time that you need it the most. I pray that you’ll never stop helping people to see what has in store for them. I pray that whenever you feel discouraged and hopeless, you’ll be able to go back to your first and greatest encourager, Jesus.

I know it will always be tough but do not forget who you are —you are an extension of His love. You are used by God mightily because He knows your heart’s desire to honor His name. We need a person like you, the world yearns for you.

Please do not empty yourself even when you set aside your struggles for other people. You know where the source of life is. Let His love continue to overflow in your life as you let other people see that He is alive in you.

Brave soul, God bless your pure heart.

Tips on slowly forgiving yourself

1. Admit your fault. It was your fault. You did something wrong. You messed up. Admit it to yourself where you went wrong.

2. Ask yourself, why did I do that? Or why didn’t I do that? Your answers may not come to you as soon as possible. You can talk to trusted people about this. You may come to a point of denial and it’s okay. Understanding is a process.

3. Apologize to people involved. If you’re brave enough, let this be the first thing you do when you mess up. It takes real strength to swallow your pride and admit to people that you went wrong and apologize.

4. Face the consequences. This can be the hardest part. It’s going to involve you and other people who were part of what happened. This is a process. This can take a lot of time. Just go through it and grow through it. This teaches you patience and perseverance.

5. When it’s all over, stop bringing it up to yourself. The only time you remind yourself of this is when you need to reflect what you’ve learned and apply it to the next circumstance you’re going to face.

6. Accept it happened. Understand that you’re not perfect. You messed up and you will mess up again. When you’ve finally accepted it and let yourself grew with what happened, no one can use this against you.

7. Move on. Stop blaming yourself over and over again. Don’t think about it at night when you’re about to sleep. Don’t let yourself live in the past. You’ve got so much going on in the present, don’t let a mistake ruin that.

8. It is so hard. Just keep going.

One of the things I have learned growing up is that when they said ‘God will never give you something you cannot do’, it is a lie. In reality, God gives us things we cannot face alone. He puts us in circumstances we cannot survive alone. And that is okay. It’s all right because that will make us depend on Him more that He will get us through wherever we are. We just have to go and have faith. It sucks sometimes because we have no idea what to do or where to go but that’s faith is all about. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1).
