God Loves You - Love Yourself!

Words to live by: "One word frees us from the weight and pain of life; that word is love." --Sophocles

I got this email early this morning telling us how to develop "Self Satisfaction" and teaching us how to love OURSELVES!



I believe that this should be something that we should all contemplate or take into consideration:

1. "You are good." 2. "You are wanted." 3. "You are loved for yourself." 4. "You are seen for who you are." 5. "Your needs are not a problem." 6. "You are safe." 7. "You will be taken care of." 8. "You will not be betrayed." 9. "Your presence matters."
10. "You are happy because you are, who you are."

There might be people who wanted to hear and feel all these from others before they would really accept themselves fully. Guess what? All these are actually already attained. It doesn't have to be from all people, think of the people who's there with you all these times.. Who already showed you they care and let you feel they loved you!

Corresponding to each number, think of at least one person that you think has already done that to you! I am pretty sure that you will get the perfect 10!


When you love yourself, love yourself wholeheartedly. It is not enough to say " I LOVE MYSELF"! You have to know who you are! You have to be contented of what you have in order to love yourself freely.
Knowing yourself better would start with knowing your strengths and your shortcomings.

No one is perfect so there's no need to worry of competing with others,you don't have to try hard of becoming someone else or even accomplishing something that is beyond your capabilities. You can just be yourself and show everyone who and what you are! You know the best word to describe it? "BE HUMBLE".

Lastly, I want to share this last quote I received:

"Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are -- chaff and grain together -- certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away."

-- Dinah Mulock

Say these:

I thank _____ for being there me, always, for the love and care! For my family, being supportive and continue to love me for who and what I am. My friends, who are always there to cheer me up when I am down. And most of all.... I thank the Lord above for giving me the strength to overcome all my problems and for helping me understand that everything happens for a reason. I thank Thee for keeping me safe at all time!

Simply Focus If You Really Want Something!

Word to live by:

“By becoming a conscious choice-maker, you begin to generate actions that are evolutionary for you.”-- Deepak Chopra



I believe that you are making your own destiny. You are the one making decisions for your self, for your own life. If you intend to do something or if you really want something, focus on achieving it.

Whatever we set in our minds actually can be only achieved if we also put power and effort unto it. Somehow, no matter how difficult it would be, as long as you have that eagerness to get what you really want, you will surely take time to pursue and achieve it.

It would also involve efficiency, determination and patience. You must support your decision sincerely and wholeheartedly.


January 13, 2011 (tada! There goes another challenge for me)

Okay, I'm in a situation right now where I need to learn FOCUS, FOCUS! Yes, I've grown as a person who always take the easiest way to get whatever I want. But this time, a real big challenge came and I have to do something with extra effort and let's say, would really need me to FOCUS. Yes! as mentioned above, we are making our own destiny and we are the one making decisions. However, making decisions isn't that easy! Most especially if you are in a situation where everyone is against and still you are eager to get that SOMETHING. Aside from that, I used to go for shortcuts when I needed something before (and of course, either with the help of my parents or other family members). This time, I couldn't take the shortcut and I have to pursue it because it's not just something (like a joke) but really serious. This is also for the betterment of my family's sake! Now, I want to learn that focus. I have this recipe in mind but it would really take a long time before I get to the GOAL!! Right now my mind wants to rush everything but! I was also advised of taking it slow. Someone told me - "RUSHING EVERYTHING will lose your personal growth and that will disable you from being focused! "

I would like to take that advice starting today ! I need to be independent and I should know how to make the right decisions in life! I need to start TODAY for tomorrow might be too late!

At least starting it means you are strong enough to make your DESTINY! :

It doesn't sound simple but like cooking a real food, you really have to wait before everything will be cooked! :) That's it!
