First and foremost, I am writing or posting something out of my own experiences and/or what I am going through right now. It is because writing has been my outlet whenever I feel bad. I am not that verbal when it comes to my concerns and I tend to keep everything to myself. Some say I am selfish, and others think about me as a masochistic freak. Despite of everything I hear from others, I do prefer to be discreet. I only talk when I feel that I cannot handle it anymore and sometimes burst out in tears.

It has been hard for me these past months because of something that is utterly unacceptable. It was me who sought for a solution but because of other people’s incompetence and futility, my life was almost ruined, my name was stained with lies and my integrity almost diminished. At first it was difficult for me to accept what will happen to me. Talked to the people who required my explanation for the BS that a certain person did. Up until now I still have the grudge towards that person, thinking that lacking common sense is one of the unacceptable things for me. Sure that person has connections, influence, but lacks the knowledge and initiative in handling things. I won’t do anything against that person but I am pretty sure that everything has its price.

Because of what happened to me, I began searching for answers to my own questions. What have I done wrong? Am I making the right decision? Should I stay or should I leave? I admit that I don’t feel the contentment in staying but for now, this is what I have. Though I feel disgusted of the system but what can I do, this is all I have for now.

Someday soon, success will be hand. I will prove to the people that there is much more than what most people think as their prized possessions. Soon I will prove to them that I am better than what they think about me. I am not the typical person they think about; I am better and will become much better than what and who I am today.

It is just a matter of time. I haven’t showed my full potential. I have been restricting myself because it is not worth it to make use of what I know and what I can do. Success is just a step away from me and very soon, with positive insights and willingness to survive each and every day of my life, everyone will understand what I am saying.

The question now is, Should I Stay or Should I Leave?

Never quit and just have faith.

Let’s face it, life isn’t easy nowadays. No more horsing around. As we age, we face a lot of difficulties no matter how much we wanna avoid them. Everybody wants to be happy, and in order to be happy, we first seek peace of mind. But the problem is, we face problems everyday. It is just a matter of HANDLING the problems. Some say we cannot solve problems right away, and yes they are right. But remember what Captain Jack Sparrow said,

” The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem.”

Aye, Cap’n Sparrow!!!

We see a lot of people go down with their problems. They ended up in nothing. Surely we feel down, we mourn, we feel grief, we cannot avoid having regrets in life, we feel neglected as if fate was not on our sides when things got rough. Remember, fate is a double-edged sword, it can make us see the light and on the other hand, swallow us in darkness. But hey, who said we cannot stand up and face the world…

I remember what my sister said,

” Bumangon ka kung saan ka nadapa.” (Rise where you fell down.)

And a friend also told me,

“Stop thinking and worrying about many things, clear your thoughts and focus on things that need your attention!”

We cannot live forever in regrets, that is, if we never dwell on something that only disappoints as. Just like what i always say (and practice), dwell or think about the SOLUTION and not on the PROBLEM. Now that’s showing a different attitude about the problem.

There are simple ways on how to handle problems, and there are complicated ways also. But which do most people prefer? None can say which, for we have different strategies on how to face everything. The most effective is PRAYER. Divine intervention beats everything as it makes you feel better, lighter and it clears the mind of any unwanted thoughts. Trust me, it works. There’s nothing wrong with being optimistic, though it sometimes cause disappointment, but look on the brighter side, with optimism at least you tried your best, showed your best and never will you have too much regrets in the end. Experience is the best teacher, mistakes teach us how to have initiative. Disregard all the people who try to hinder us from attaining what we need to attain.

With A Little Bit of Optimism, Life Gets Better….
