The Law of the Season -- "This, too, shall pass."

The Law of the Season

Hi Anna—

The Law of the Season states that, "Day always follows the night as there's rain after summer."

It's obvious again, isn't it? But many people don't get it. When they are in pain, they'd think it's already "the end of the world." I should know this because several times in my life, I was in pretty similar situation as well.

Did you know that in 2005, because I only had 20 pesos in my pocket (all the money I had in the world), because my bank accounts were closed, because my family was too far, because my business partners were leaving me, because my girlfriend at that time was breaking up with me, I almost killed myself?

It's an interesting story. And it's true as well. Good thing, my mentor advised me "to segregate myself" from the pain. He said, "This, too, shall pass."

I realize now that he was perfectly right. I was able to survive that season and soon enough I was back to work on summer. It was seemingly a very long night for me. But the truth is there's no "double night." The sun will rise and it's rising very soon.

Are you experiencing the night of your life now? Are you in your rainy season? If you are, the law is obvious. You will have your day after the night. So, always look forward. Don't look back (or maybe you can look back but don't stay there).

The Law of Calendar -- "Life happens at the moment and place it's happening."

The Law of the Calendar

Hi Anna—

Let's get going. I've given you some obvious laws that somehow make you realize that life's lessons can easily be seen and learned if we're just serious enough to live our lives not according to what we can get but according to what we want!

Anyway, do you use a 2007 calendar when it's 2010 already? Another obvious stuff! Of course not! You don't take expired medicine and you don't eat spoiled food!

The Law of the Calendar states that "life happens at the moment and place it's happening." (It's present-based!)

Many people fail experience joy in their lives because they become too focused on the past and too hopeless about the future. They spend most their time wondering what could have happened differently should they have taken another decision or made the choice.

Our calendar tells us that every day is a perfectly brand new day. That's why we change it. Life happens even if we live it or not, even if we work or not, even if we are happy or sad.

Most of success seminars tell you what to do, but The Obvious teaches you to think relevant philosophies to succeed...

My mentor told me that life is designed in such a way that we look long-term and live short-term. We can always look for our future and be excited about it without compromising the blessings that we have at the moment.

There's no shortcut , Anna, no matter how hard you try. But the good news is that there's a fast-track. We are all given "every day," a total of 24 hours to fast-track our personal development.

Leave you past where it truly belongs. Look on what's up and ahead. But don't forget to enjoy the date your calendar shows you!

♥TURON NA MAY MASARAP NA SAWSAWAN♥

Nakakapagod ang araw na ito.

Galing kami sa AIM Conference Center dahil meron kaming event kanina. after ng event pumunta pa kami ng office para matapos ang ibang trabaho.

Nagpahuli na ako kc may mga bagay pa ako na dapat ayuson.

TURON NA MAY MASARAP NA SAWSAWAN...

Natira un sa pag kain kanina sa event. Masarap sya at matamis.

Dinala namin yung TURON sa opisina. Pero hindi ito naubos.

Sabi ng Manager namen kapag hindi naubos iuwe ko nalng kesa masayang.

Umuwe na ako. naicp ko na yun TURON na may MASARAP na SAWSAWAN baka hindi lang makain sa bahay.

Kaya naisip ko na ibigay nalang yun sa mga kapus palad na masasalubong ko.

Habang naglalakad, makalampas ng Don Bosco church malayo palang nakita ko na ung 3 bata.

Parang ng aaway sila. Umiiyak ung isa. Tumawid ako, hinarang ko sya sabay sabing..

Bata sayo nalng to.

Nakita nun iba kaya bigla silang tumakbo at sinabing ate pahinge din....

Sabi ko hati hati nalang konti lang to eh.

Opo sagot ng isang bata.

Sabi naman ng isa, ay si ate kilala ko na yan lage yan nadaan dito.

Yung isa walang masabi, un ung pinaka bata. Nakatingin lang sya.

Sabi ko TURON yan eto ung MASARAP NA SAWSAWAN.

Sige aklis na ako.

Umalis na ako. Diko mapigilan lumingon ulit. Nakita ko yung isang bata nakatitig lang sakin.

Lumakad na ako palayo.

Biglang sigaw nung isang bata..

ATE INGAT KA HA..! (May ngiti sa kanyang labi..)

At ako. walang masabi. Diko alam nangilid ang luha sa aking mga mata..

ibang klase ung saya na naramdaman ko..:D

Kaya ko to ipinost dito hindi para ipagmalaki yung ginawa ko.

Pinost ko to para malaman nyo na dapat kahit sa simpleng mga bagay matuto tayong makuntento..:)

At syempre dapat maging matulungin. Walang pinag kaiba ang tulong na binibigay ng bawat tao.

kahit pa ang sayo ay 1 lang at ang sa iba ang 1,000,000.

Kung iyon ay gusto mu talaga ibigay, pareho lang ang halaga.

Sana madami pa ang mga taong katulad ng mga bata na iyon.

Masaya na sa simpleng bagay. Kahit konti ay pinaghahatian, at marunong magbigayan.

God Bless You!

The Law of Corn Seed

Harvest is always greater than what's planted." In other words, "When you plant a corn seed, you don't harvest a corn seed but a corn."

Don't be lazy during the planting season. Don't be afraid to help other people. That's one way to have a bountiful harvest. Just help other people get what they want. Like it or not, the reward will come your way.

Life has its own way to reward the benefactor. We don't need to know how that works. We just have to trust that it works that way. Again, when you plant a corn seed, you don't harvest a corn seed.

6 Personality traits to Admire and Acquire

Let’s face it: In life, we come across all kinds! As humans, we often focus on those who are negative or toxic leaving it difficult to appreciate those who are positive and healthy. Seeking out individuals with healthy, positive traits, however, may do a lot of good. The more we can surround ourselves with those who are positive and healthy, the more we may model those positive behaviors.

If you really think about it, once in awhile you come across a person who knocks you off your socks…legitimately. Maybe they have a fantastic outlook on life, even during difficult times. Maybe they are really humble, although they are extremely gifted. Maybe they make you feel special. All of these are good.

Below, I've listed some of the traits I admire most in people. Although I could probably list a dozen characteristics, I thought I’d list those that seem to be the rarest or most difficult to find.

Selflessness: In a world where many people don’t have the time or the interest in others, selflessness is a quality that seems to be less and less common. People can be selfless in the time they give, the ability to listen, their level of patience and the love that they give. Those who are giving and generous in nature have the power to make others feel loved, appreciated and special. While those who are self-absorbed tend to do the exact opposite.
Tolerance: Those people who are tolerant make us feel comfortable with who we are and special as individuals. All of us are different, and many of us have quirks and idiosyncrasies. After all, these differences make the world go round. Having the ability to accept people for who they are and not expect them to be who we want them to be is important in life, happiness and in the health of our relationships.
Genuineness: Having the ability to be real, authentic and honest is unique in a world where we put so much emphasis on the superficial. Feeling comfortable in one’s skin and being true to one’s self is one of the most beautiful traits one can possess. To have a REAL relationship with someone requires honesty…it requires hearing and giving input or feedback that may not always be popular…it means having the strength to tell it like it is and to not be afraid to face the consequences for doing so…it means loving people for who they really are…deep down…and not for what they appear to be.
Sensitivity: So often we are focused on what is important to ourselves that we can forget about those around us. Those who are sensitive are often thoughtful, appreciative and loving, in a way that makes you feel understood, valued and respected. Often, sensitive people are also self-aware, making them mindful of how they impact others with what they do and say.
Integrity: Call me cynical, but I think this characteristic is especially difficult to find. In a time when people will do things that are underhanded to make an extra buck (Bernie Madoff…can you hear me?), expose their personal lives to the public so they can be famous (balloon boy’s dad and any other reality TV mongers) and do what feels good in the moment without necessarily thinking of the consequences (Tiger Woods), integrity is a characteristic that is especially unique today.
Humility: Whether someone is super-smart, extremely talented or drop-dead gorgeous, there is something extra special about them if they don’t come across as though they know it all the time. Humility in those that possess extraordinary traits make others feel special too.

Oh boy the list could go on! What characteristics do you admire in others? Are there any that you want to cultivate?
