Facing Me

 
My heart is leading me to reach new heights once more.

Do something new.
Do something different.
Do something wild.
Do something risky.
and Just Do It!

And I will.

No more excuses.

Time to face my fears.
Time to face my threats.
Time to face the challenges.
Time to explore.
Time to leap.
Time to face my reality.

God be my guide.

NAMASTE.

    life is far better after all the risks you have taken. that moment when you can say, "see, i learned" (ung commercial ng mga bata, nkalimutan ko kung ano...hihi)

    More often we are afraid to try new things because of fear but if we can only conquer that fear and just do whatever we want to do --- things can fun and really uplifting. thanks for the inspiration. i missed this for days.

    Step out, even when it's storming
    Step out, even when you're broken
    Step out, even when your heart is telling you to give up

    Step out, when your hope is stolen
    Step out, you can't see where you're going
    You don't have to be afraid

    Remember, WE ARE MADE FOR MORE! GOD bless :)

    Once in our lives, we do need to do things we only dare think when we are younger. Go for it! Face your fear!

    What's fulfillment without the risks?
    What's love without the pain?
    What's life without the dreams.

    The cadence of your poem seems to echo the sentiments of your words:self-empowerment.

    I like the peaceful end of your poetry.

I do what I do

Writing is my outlet! I have been doing this since Grade 4. When I’ve written what I have in mind, I would sleep really well and would move on.  So, it’s like a therapy to me! Lol! http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com I love writing, I love the process of unfolding, unraveling, cocooning, De-boning as I put the exact words in my piece.. Kind of like a puzzle... Almost there, but not quite... yet! I know I am involved in the process of becoming as I continue to write, as I continue to grow, yearn and learn. I am still challenging myself to be so much more, do so much more and make my dreams come true for myself and for my family.  I look forward to have us all achieve our grandest desires for ourselves and our loved ones.  My mission is to continuously inspire, encourage and motivate myself and hopefully – you! (if by chance you read this) to just get out of our shells and be, do and have more in life.  To BE MORE, D...

Learning Life's Lessons!

I heard or read somewhere that life will continue to give us lessons until we learn it. Two weeks after graduating from college, I was already teaching college students.    I was so idealistic, perfectionist and wouldn’t tolerate students who were cheating, talking while I was teaching and not doing their work. Ye s , I was really strict! Many of my former students would attest to that! The thing was even if I knew I needed to change, I continued on doing what I was doing because I was afraid if I lost my control, if I became friendly and acted my age (I was just 20 then!, some of my students were even older than me!), I felt my students wouldn’t respect me and may took advantage of my kindness. So I continued on with my demeanor; I pushed my students to meet my expectations! I abhorred cheating, if they did so (I was good at finding out; because all our activities were computerized), the next day they would find their names written in bold caps posted in t...
