Yup...it is experiecing things in life that can prepare someone....

Ang batang hindi marunong maglakad, ginagabayan, hinahawakan...para sa mga unang hakbang...but there is always a point in time na kailangan nang bitawan, para matutong humakbang mag-isa....maranasan ang sariling tibay...ang sariling paninimbang....madapa, tumayo at muling humakbang....dahil kung hindi...habang buhay na syang naka-upo...nanononod sa mga tumatakbo at naglalaro....it will be a sad place to just watch...and never experience....life.

Tama ka dyan...

Nako naalala ko na naman mga books na nabasa ko! Favourite ko talaga si Paulo Coehlo... yung mga books niya kakaiba ang dating ng mga books niya!

Whose Path Are You Walking?
by PAULO COELHO on JULY 7, 2012




Have you ever had others criticize you for the path in life you have been called to walk, be it spiritual, career, lifestyle, and so on?
Often those who tend to have the greatest opposition to the pathway we walk are family and friends. Of course this can be extended to include religious institutions, political parties, and cultural traditionalists as well — many of which make no bones about it, priding themselves on believing that their way is the only way.

It can be incredibly difficult to separate from the “herd” and go our own way when it goes against the grain of the herd mentality (or majority) and yet, if we don’t, we know there is a part of us that will slowly begin to die.
Call it spirit, soul, life force, or what you may, there is that within us that knows who it is we’ve come here to be and what it is we’ve come here to do and if we don’t listen to its call, it begins to wane.
This is when life becomes more about enduring until we die rather than thriving while we are here.

Perhaps what our critics don’t understand is that beneath the layer of what they may refer to as “choice,” there lies another layer where lives the authentic self, and its voice perpetually whispers ever so softly in our inner ear, “Be who you are and you’ll find freedom, fullness of expression, joy, peace, purpose and meaning in this precious life you have been given.”
This voice beckons us to be true to ourselves; when we hear and listen to that voice, it’s not so much that we are then guided to choose a certain path in life but, in truth, realize that our path has chosen us.

The voice to which I refer is incapable of guiding us in a direction that is self-destructive or harmful to others or that in any way dishonors the sacredness of life, because it is life itself that beckons us.

Tama ka dyan...

Nako naalala ko na naman mga books na nabasa ko! Favourite ko talaga si Paulo Coehlo... yung mga books niya kakaiba ang dating ng mga books niya!

Nababanggit mo nga before.

Minsan...mapapaisip ka talaga, kung ano nga ba ang dapat...kung ano nga ba ang tama....and I guess, sarili mo lang ang makakapagsabi kung ano ang nararapat sa yo....hindi ibang tao....of course...no one is so good that you will know everything...you will still need guidance, advice....thoughts from someone....but in the end...desisyon mo pa rin...ang dadaanan sa buhay...we were given Free Will....it is for us to learn to exercise that TRUST that the Lord has given us.

If God believes in us so much...then why can't we believe in ourselves to face life?

Kababasa ko lang sa twitter:

No matter where we are in life, God has more in store. He never wants us to quit growing.

I think appropriate siya sa tinutukoy mo...

Yeah....yun kasi ang paniniwala ko....nabanggit ko I have so much faith....na kahit anong gawin ko...gagabayan ako....of course...hindi naman to the point na susubok ako na alam kong ikasasama ko...pero when you take your choices, of course it will be the choice you think is the best....then leave it all up to HIM...but first...you have to make a choice and stand firm.

Never hate jealous people. They are jealous because they think that you're better than them

Love Like Jesus ‏@LovLikeJesus
When you try to figure out everything, you’re exalting your reasoning above God’s thoughts and plans for your life.

The kingdom of this world
by PAULO COELHO on JULY 16, 2012

An old hermit was once invited to visit the court of the most powerful king of the day.

“I envy a holy man, who is content with so little,” commented the sovereign.

“I envy Your Majesty, who is content with less than I.
“I have the music of the celestial spheres,
“I have the rivers and mountains of the whole wide world,
“I have the moon and the sun, because I have God in my soul.

“Your Majesty, however, has only this kingdom.”
