YOUR Life Lesson/s

[m_lim]

God's timing is always perfect. kaya hindi na ako humihingi. i just leave everything up to Him.

[aquacharly]

^ so true.  The day I stopped making deals with God, & just said: bahala Ka na with me, Thy Will be done... Just give me clarity of mind & courage to implement Thy Will........   Everything unfolded & fell into place.  I eventually landed where I got & get more than I ever dreamed of. 

THANK YOU, GOD.

Never compare ourselves to others.

Another lesson that will save you lots of wear  & tear and unproductive time.

 

be kinder than necessary.

.  Hmmm, hope I can remember to incorporate this in everything I do.  Very very nice lesson to adapt. 

Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

Yes, everbody has blessings to be grateful for.  Plus:   Things  aren't  always what they seem.

love deeply, but always leave some for yourself.

when it comes to relationships, i am the type of person who can be generous to someone i love by  putting their needs/wants first before my own. but once i feel neglected, i can be the exact opposite.

love and give your best, but always keep in mind that whatever transpires from the relationship, you can still stand strong with your two feet at may matitira pa rin sa sarili mo.

i learned that in life..

there are 15 things you should give up in order to be happy [just read this from an article]


1. GIVE UP YOUR NEED TO ALWAYS BE RIGHT
 There are so many of us who can’t stand the idea of being wrong – wanting to always be right – even at the risk of ending great relationships or causing a great deal of stress and pain, for us and for others. It’s just not worth it. Whenever you feel the ‘urgent’ need to jump into a fight over who is right and who is wrong, ask yourself this question: “Would I rather be right, or would I rather be kind?” Wayne Dyer. What difference will that make? Is your ego really that big?

2. GIVE UP YOUR NEED FOR CONTROL
Be willing to give up your need to always control everything that happens to you and around you – situations, events, people, etc. Whether they are loved ones, coworkers, or just strangers you meet on the street – just allow them to be. Allow everything and everyone to be just as they are and you will see how much better will that make you feel.

“By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond winning.” Lao Tzu

3. GIVE UP ON BLAME
 Give up on your need to blame others for what you have or don’t have, for what you feel or don’t feel. Stop giving your powers away and start taking responsibility for your life.

4. GIVE UP YOUR SELF-DEFEATING SELF-TALK
 Oh my. How many people are hurting themselves because of their negative, polluted and repetitive self-defeating mindset? Don’t believe everything that your mind is telling you – especially if it’s negative and self-defeating. You are better than that.

“The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive.” Eckhart Tolle

5. GIVE UP YOUR LIMITING BELIEFS
about what you can or cannot do, about what is possible or impossible. From now on, you are no longer going to allow your limiting beliefs to keep you stuck in the wrong place. Spread your wings and fly!

“A belief is not an idea held by the mind, it is an idea that holds the mind” Elly Roselle

6. GIVE UP COMPLAINING
 Give up your constant need to complain about those many, many, maaany things – people, situations, events that make you unhappy, sad and depressed. Nobody can make you unhappy, no situation can make you sad or miserable unless you allow it to. It’s not the situation that triggers those feelings in you, but how you choose to look at it. Never underestimate the power of positive thinking.

7. GIVE UP THE LUXURY OF CRITICISM
Give up your need to criticize things, events or people that are different than you. We are all different, yet we are all the same. We all want to be happy, we all want to love and be loved and we all want to be understood. We all want something, and something is wished by us all.

8. GIVE UP YOUR NEED TO IMPRESS OTHERS
Stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not just to make others like you. It doesn’t work this way. The moment you stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not, the moment you take off all your masks, the moment you accept and embrace the real you, you will find people will be drawn to you, effortlessly.

9. GIVE UP YOUR RESISTANCE TO CHANGE
 Change is good. Change will help you move from A to B. Change will help you make improvements in your life and also the lives of those around you. Follow your bliss, embrace change – don’t resist it.
“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls” Joseph Campbell

10. GIVE UP LABELS
 Stop labeling those things, people or events that you don’t understand as being weird or different and try opening your mind, little by little. Minds only work when open. “The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don’t know anything about.” Wayne Dyer

11. GIVE UP ON YOUR FEARS
Fear is just an illusion, it doesn’t exist – you created it. It’s all in your mind. Correct the inside and the outside will fall into place.
“The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.” Franklin D. Roosevelt

12. GIVE UP YOUR EXCUSES
Send them packing and tell them they’re fired. You no longer need them. A lot of times we limit ourselves because of the many excuses we use. Instead of growing and working on improving ourselves and our lives, we get stuck, lying to ourselves, using all kind of excuses – excuses that 99.9% of the time are not even real.

13. GIVE UP THE PAST
I know, I know. It’s hard. Especially when the past looks so much better than the present and the future looks so frightening, but you have to take into consideration the fact that the present moment is all you have and all you will ever have. The past you are now longing for – the past that you are now dreaming about – was ignored by you when it was present. Stop deluding yourself. Be present in everything you do and enjoy life. After all life is a journey not a destination. Have a clear vision for the future, prepare yourself, but always be present in the now.

14. GIVE UP ATTACHMENT
This is a concept that, for most of us is so hard to grasp and I have to tell you that it was for me too, (it still is) but it’s not something impossible. You get better and better at with time and practice. The moment you detach yourself from all things, (and that doesn’t mean you give up your love for them – because love and attachment have nothing to do with one another,  attachment comes from a place of fear, while love… well, real love is pure, kind, and self less, where there is love there can’t be fear, and because of that, attachment and love cannot coexist) you become so peaceful, so tolerant, so kind, and so serene. You will get to a place where you will be able to understand all things without even trying. A state beyond words.

15. GIVE UP LIVING YOUR LIFE TO OTHER PEOPLE’S EXPECTATIONS
Way too many people are living a life that is not theirs to live. They live their lives according to what others think is best for them, they live their lives according to what their parents think is best for them, to what their friends, their enemies and their teachers, their government and the media think is best for them. They ignore their inner voice, that inner calling. They are so busy with pleasing everybody, with living up to other people’s expectations, that they lose control over their lives. They forget what makes them happy, what they want, what they need….and eventually they forget about themselves.  You have one life – this one right now – you must live it, own it, and especially don’t let other people’s opinions distract you from your path.

^Wow, this is so inspiring. I got my little handy notebook and copied this gem of a list. Thanks sis! I said 'ouch' to almost everything listed. Haha!

[oyetken]

always give thanks to God in good and bad times, in good times he always gives our happiness the life  we have, the family and  friends and things that we want, in bad times  naman  i know na hinde niya ibibigay ang mga pagsubok kung hinde natin kaya , god is good and he's always be there to us..
be humble and always think positives.

[toinkz]

when i said to a colleague earlier"ok lan yun, its better to give than to receive" sabi nya mali..."it is equally important to give and to receive" and in retrospect i agree with him. 

[angelita]

God's timing is good timing.

[k_heart]

Sis Rheinfall18, thanks for sharing that article, its really nice. Much appreciated! : )

[sarsingkit]

got this from Evan Almighty and yes i found one of my life lessons in a movie

If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?

God: How do we change the world?
Evan Baxter: One single Act of Random Kindness at a time. (A-R-K)

Mas masarap pala kung mas mahal ka ng mahal mo, walang stress at sakit ng ulo

[imnuttz]

i agree with other sisses about leaving it all up to HIM. di na rin ako makikipag deal kay Papa Jesus about some things i want, SYA na ang bahala.

i also realized that i need to love myself more above anything else.

You can't motivate anyone, but you can create an environment and opportunities that foster inspiration and motivation.

God is not there to be blamed when something goes wrong. God is not in charge of our decisions, we are. When something goes wrong because of what we did, it's not God's fault, it's ours. We should fix it and not just wait for God to do everything to magically make everything better.

The only thing you can control is how you react and respond to things around you.

[chicafabulosa]

The only thing you can do with complicated things is to avoid complicating it further... Learn to adopt with it or try to at least change it the way you like it.. But if it didn't end the way you want it, dont stress too much... Just relax and enjoy the ride

[gingersnap]

This is such a nice thread, dami ko nababasa na makes me reflect.

Right now, ang itinatanim ko sa utak ko is to always stay Positive, it really helps. Then try to be good to everyone, we never know what's going on with them. Lastly, save, save,save for the rainy days.

keep them coming sisses.

Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence.

[kiz_me1109]

Everything happens for a reason. SO whatever happens, it may be good or bad always say thank you to God. Kasi he knows na kung ano man yung ibibigay niyang challenges sayo, e kaya mo.
