New Pair

I wanted a new pair of shoes so that I could see that I have cool and expensive shoes but on my way to the store, I saw a man with no feet. I felt guilty. I did not buy a new pair of shoes. I still wear the old one because I know, these old sneakers are still good enough since I have two feet and I could wear them. Think about it! How about you?

True Colors

Never be afraid to show your true color. Your true color is beautiful like the rainbow. Remember, you already are what you are and what you are is beautiful. Be yourself and stop pretending to other people and TO YOURSELF. Be true to your own persona.

Measuring Success

Measure success in accordance to your personal definition of success. It does not mean that you need to achieve the things other people have in order to call yourself successful. You are successful in your own terms such as enjoying the things that you do. Feel successful in accomplishing things in your life and all things will follow without pressing too much pressure on yourself and the people who cares about you. You should always feel wanted and important; at least to yourself if all other people thinks you are a failure. Just because people tell you that you can't do it, it does not mean you can't do you and you can't succeed. Other people say that you can't do it just because they themselves could not do it. Never let other people dictate you in anyway that makes you unhappy. You are the master of your own life and you deserve to make your own choices especially choices that makes you happy and fulfilled in the inside. That is how you measure your success.... Go on and be successful.

Almost Died

On my 7th birthday, I almost died. We were at that a public beach to celebrate my birthday. Well, not much of people were in for a swim that they, so only a handful of people were there. It was mid-day, and my older cousins called me and some other family members for lunch. I asked if I could stay longer and enjoy my dip in the water. Since it was my birthday, an indeed "Yes" was given to me. While I was in the water, I had a magnificent view of my family enjoying the lunch that the entire family helped out to prepare. It was nice. I tried to be a little braver and try to go farther from the shore. Step by step i walked backward and away from the shore. Then a few steps more backwards, I felt the sand on my feet, and every step to move forward again seemed to be not happening since I just kept on slipping away at every step. That few seconds in my life was serene and frightening at the same time. I was so serene since a sudden silence filled the air. All I could hear was my breath trying to grasp more air as I was drowning. The colors of my view becomes more vivid. Nothing else matter that few seconds of my precious life but to breath and make that step forward so that I could reach out and step on the stones again and to assure me that I will not drown. It was frightening because I know at that very moment was everybody was busy and nobody could have given much attention to save me since I was there alone in the beach taking a dip. On those moments of silence, I could hear my heartbeat more. Each heartbeat sounded so precious and priceless to a person who knows that he or she is dying. Then, at of nowhere, a wave gave me strong push forward and finally I was able to step on that stones that assured me that I was alive again. Those rough stones assured me that I was safe and I gained my life back. I never told that story to anybody else; not even my parents and close friends. Since that day, I looked at life differently. I begin to realize that my life was only borrowed and can be taken away from you whether you are prepared to go or not; or if your are ready or not. I look at my life differently now. That was a close call for me that day. Since that incident, I am aware to this very day that I almost died and I would not be able to experience life if it was not for that day I had my life back. I am more than thankful enough to know that I am alive. I do not know how to swim that day and up to this day. It is a beautiful day outside and I am thankful for it today. You should be thankful too.
