In times of struggles we encounter, there’s fear and depression. It tries to weaken our minds and our hearts that lowers our self-esteem. We don’t like that to happen. For God is the Best Way to conquer those struggles we experience. He is our refuge and our strength. He is there always in us. As a Filipino Christian, God is the best solution in my entire life.

“My Kind of Love”

Family

           It’s common for us to love our family, because it is where we grow stronger, mature and be able to handle different situations in life with morality. Most of us got influenced from our parents, because they were the first role models in our life in a way we can exist in a proper way. They managed to take care of us, despite their hard work and commitment to be a parent. Siblings also helps us grow by being responsible, because it’s where the rules are based depending on the siblings, like most older siblings, they tend to be more bossy or by being called the “responsible” one, in order for the younger sibling to be influenced in a good manner. Well in fact, it’s true in this kind of manner because it can affect one another by changing for the better. Indeed, the love of the family is unconditional to help keep the family in unity, respect and peace.

Friends

           In friendship there’s a trait by being loyal. One trait that shaped friendship is loyalty. A person accepted the other person’s commonality, where friendship begins with respect. Our life is difficult if we don’t have friends, because in result there might be chances of loneliness. We don’t want to be lonely right? So, we decided to have friends by supporting and respecting each other. We wanted to communicate our friends, because it lets us enjoy the moments of laughter and happiness. Our friends are part of our comfort zone. By just seeing a familiar appearance of a person from a far, we can easily identify that that is your friend. It boosts our self-esteem, and we wanted to catch the other persons attention by doing random hand gestures or by shouting the person’s name. Our friends made us who we are depending of the kind of friend you have whether good or bad it affects us mostly. So...how about cherish every moment with your friends, because it nurtures our life by dealing reality with their actions.  

Relationship

Well...in life the older we got, the higher chances that one day you’ll meet your Forever! Does it really affects our hearts? Definitely, it changes our hearts by having a relationship with your one and only.  The truth is, I can’t decide which ideal girl I can have for my future. I am a patient person and I am willing to wait for that person that changes my life for the better. Only God has a plan for me, by helping me find my “the one and only”. I accept the fact that God has the best will for me. It’s true, because only God has the best plan for us. That one day, I can finally meet her with complete joy and she is committed, loving, trustworthy, and there’s understanding between the both of us. God is always the center of our relationship. :)

“This Works for Me Too!”

           In order to improve study habits is to commit yourself in studying, because it’s depending on the person whether the individual is committed to study. Well, of course to have improvement on your studying is the goal being set to be achieved. It’s hard for the individual to persevere in studying if the person has no goal. The person should have a goal. Make study time part of your routine. There’s time for everything, so...how about make studying as your routine, because it develops your habit in studying. Review your notes and take great notes, it’s very important to take notes. It’s where you can keep track of your lessons of a certain subject. Lastly, mastery of lessons. It’s useless if the person doesn’t master its lessons without understanding the notes. Take your time to review, until you will fully understand the lessons. Doing this process can help you, so start studying if you have time available for studying. :)

When Things Don’t Go As Planned ...

      One of the things that make us human is our ability to form expectations. It is our ability to believe that something will happen in the future, whether we think of it as positive or negative depends on us. A lot of times, we like to make positive expectations, like passing an exam when we didn’t study the night before. Sometimes, it’s the opposite, like expecting yourself to mess up when you are speaking in front of class. Expectations are like our visions of the future, but it is not surprising when our expectations sometimes don’t match with reality. It’s disappointing when we expected something good to happen or something to go so well, but it didn’t.

      This happens to all of us, more so to the best of us. The disappointment that comes with failed expectations hurts a lot. Some people describe it as being “stabbed in the chest” or getting “punched in the gut”. After that, they often lose the will to expect good things. It becomes so unbearable at times that it leads to depression, even worse, suicide. There are a lot of advice in the internet and in books on how to get over the disappointment but today I wanted to share something different. 

     God knows exactly how it feels to be disappointed. In fact, He feels this a lot more than us, especially with His people failing Him a lot. That is why He reminds us that as long as we live in this world, things might not always go our way. But He promises that even if events don’t go as planned, He still holds the future.

      Jeremiah 29:11 states: For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

     God always had a plan for us even before we were born. He already knew what we could become, better than whatever we are now. As humans, our plans are often not the same as God’s because we only see the past and the present and whatever is within our range, but God is different. He sees everything. He sees the past, present and future, the whole vastness of the universe and even every single heart. His plans are better than ours. 

     That is why, we should not be surprised of failed expectations. We should not be shocked if things don’t go our way. It happens. Instead of feeling down or disappointed, we should remind ourselves that God holds everything in place. He sees what is happening to us and He knows that it will happen, yet He has a plan, a great plan for every single one of us. Today, things might be looking bad, but someday, with God in our side, we can rest assure that everything will work out, just according to His plan.

My Personal Mandala:

Hey Everyone, Tata Jose here! 

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. - Albert Einstein

Imagine the things we critically analyze with our own way of thought. Our way of thinking is unique compared to others. We wanted to see differently, because we wanted to predict the situations we are into. Think positive, for us to avoid the pain of failure in our lives. Logic and imagination can help us overcome the barriers in life, we conquer negative outcomes and grab that opportunity of success. Yes, we sometimes fail...but it’s a lesson we face so that we will be motivated to achieve and aim our goals. Practice makes perfect? In life, we wanted to explore by getting the right formula of our dreams. Try and try again,but still failed is what we wanted. Evaluated practice makes perfect, because it will be corrected from our mistakes. Lastly, think of the things you are trying to achieve that benefits yourself...and let our minds be set to finish the race. It will be a journey of a lifetime.
