Entry 161: Lots of - Thinking, realization and contemplation

 Lots of - Thinking, realization and contemplation (muni-muni). Look back at what God accomplished using me. Yet realize I have yet to accomplish my mission, purpose,  and why God created me. Still hungry to serve, care and share. June 1, 2006 my brain aneurysm. Literally changed my life 180 degrees. That was the half time of my life. Now living the grace of an amazing 2nd life. But now Born again. A born again Catholic. So now in my 2nd half of life and as in basketball it's in the 2nd half you win the game. The game of Life.

Faith is the element when mixed with prayer, provides a direct link with infinite intelligence to guide us in doing our best in this most precarious situation our generation has ever faced. Faith gives life power and action to our thoughts. No one is safe until everyone is safe. 

Entry 156: Helping somebody discover the beauty from inside.

 Helping somebody discover the beauty from inside. Shift from external to internal. See themselves in a different light experience a moment of feeling beautiful would tear up or even cry. Learn how to meditate enter an inner realm. Contacting something within myself. Something ignited I hadn't experienced before. Abandoned made me feel independent and goal-driven. Okay I'm here on my own. If I don't do it Nobody else will. Must do it. Sit and deal with fears and traumas. Found more freedom. Feel Filipino - my orientation being with family. Open-minded with an open spirituality. Keep it fluid on what resonates and doesn't. If it doesn't, it's okay too. Enjoyable everything worth it. Tired but when she gazes at you like you're the only thing in the world. It's beautiful. 

Entry 155: Heroes. Historic cry for freedom.

  Heroes. Historic cry for freedom. Sustained by the faith in themselves and their own courage. Struggle for freedom continues. Essence of independence rooted in a society where the people is uplifted - socially, economically, morally and spiritually above all. Victory may not even happen in our lifetimes.

Entry 154: Explore opportunities as much as you can

 Explore opportunities as much as you can, whenever you can - online classes, YouTube videos, new skills sets, business podcasts. Exposed myself to a whole new world of opportunities. Exposed myself willingly from the start - done for myself. Acknowledge your privilege and capabilities. Luck is pure chance - throw away when talking about success. Privilege - having access to resources and opportunities your environment allows you to have. Ways to gain this privilege. Born to it, or having a support system that enables you to access opportunities not everyone has. Worked hard- knew I could build something even greater.   

Entry 153: A hero idealized, admired and honored.

A hero idealized, admired and honored. Who are they now? Generous when victorious. Humble, loves his country always well.

A sense of duty not deceived by clever and materialistic men mesmerized by their promises. Greatness in their leadership. Heroes like Ninoy Aquino. Symbol of Filipino pride. What we lost, must be regained. Morale and morals rather than money.

Entry 152: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything.

Larry King said - I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I'm going to learn. I must do it by listening. Tagline ask the man who owns one. Personal testimony is powerful endorsement. Sharing with others our personal experience of God's goodness to us also makes an impact. God invites us to declare our gratitude and joy not only to Him, but also to those around us.  

Entry 151: Sometimes losing but never staying down.

Sometimes losing but never staying down. Tasting defeat doesn't come often in your career but you gave your best came out short. Doesn't matter if you win or lose. You're forever a hero to your loved ones. You're still the best. An honor to know you. Take loss with faith in your heart even smiling and praising God for His infinite wisdom. Painful to see you hurt.

Entry 150: Being poor in spirit is an attitude of the heart

 Being poor in spirit is an attitude of the heart - it's to rely on God for everything. On humility and self-knowledge. We pray for self-knowledge that comes from God. To truly become poor in spirit, we ask God for the grace to see ourselves according to how He sees us. When we see ourselves from God's perspective, we see that on our own, we amount to nothing. But when we are with God we can do anything.

Entry 149: Live simply, love generously, act kindly...

 Live simply, love generously, act kindly, care deeply and leave the rest to God. The more we humble ourselves, the more Jesus lifts us up. The more we don't expect Him to reward us for serving His cause - the more we receive from Him. The simplest way to serve our Lord Jesus is to not repay all our blessings we receive from Him but to simply pass them on - being a blessing to others. Worry is worshiping your problem. Pray is surrendering your problem so, why worry if you can pray. Ang taong marunong lumuhod, ay nakatayo sa lahat ng pagsubok, at kahit may kulang ang Diyos ang magpupuno.

Entry 148: Recite every Saturday

Let us pray- O God who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, grant we beseech you, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. I consecrate myself to the immaculate heart of Mary.
