Grateful day 2

Today I am grateful for...

1. The gift of life that Chloe is to me and to the rest of the family. She has grown so much in the past 7 years and I really believe that Chloe is bound for greatness. 

2. Today's message on motivation. I'm grateful that I read that today because it will guide me on how to handle people with love and with genuine care. 

3. I am happy that there are a lot of food options available for vegetarians ans vegans like me nowadays. I certainly see the progress despite what other people say. More and more people are health and wellbeing conscious which makes it so much easier for me to stick to my diet.  

4. I am grateful to God that He has blessed me with physical strength and endurance to last through 3 straight weeks of overtime and still being able to have regular cardio mornings. Being able to still think critically and creatively despite the lack of sleep and exhaustion is a miracle all in itself. 

Thank You!

Oh my... This is so true.  

Never realized it until now.  

It really does take courage to not dwell in having pity parties and realize that there's a beautiful world beyond our own selfish emotions. 

To be set free that the world does not revolve around us and realizing how blessed we are.... It really is a gift. 

snippet of today

Words to live by according to Shakespeare… 

Have more than thou showest, speak less than thou knowest. 

This hit home to me big time and is something that I've been trying to practice for a long time. Seeing this in Hwangssabu's quotes for today was an affirmation of the feelings I've been feeling but could not verbalise. 

Thank you, William. 

Today was a Monday. 

Any other dreadful work day. 

But today, I got the chance to meet someone exceptional. 

I met Isay Alvarez-Seña and she is one amazing woman.  A woman with a cause just exudes something so beautiful that goes way over and beyond what the eye can see.  She is a person dealing with leukaemia and no, it does not show on her, physically, mentally, emotionally.  She handles herself with such grace and regality, you would not suspect that she's going through that. 

She is an advocate of promoting Philippine theatre.  Being a seasoned theatre actress herself who's starred numerous plays here and even playing in Miss Saigon… You could say she's got loads under her belt.  She says if only Filipinos would just balance their interest between local productions and foreign ones… She isn't even all purist about it because she says she also enjoys going to Broadway herself… 

It's truly inspiring meeting people that inspire, spark a glimmer of fire in me. 

just now?

This dude, Lao Tzu... Why did you tell me this only now?

The Word Today


Your lesser self says, 'Not enough people believe in me. I'll never make it.' Your greater self says, 'My faith in God and in myself is enough; I can make it.' Your lesser self says, 'It's taking too long to realize my dream.' Your greater self says, 'Dreams are realized one day at a time.' Your lesser self says, 'Enough is enough! I've taken too many hits.' Your greater self says, 'I've come too far to give up now.' Your lesser self says, 'I don't have the strength to hold on to my dream.' Your greater self says, 'Hold on a little longer; the darkest hour is just before the dawn.'
