Ikaw ba ay laging naiinip?
Ikaw ba ay laging nag-aalala at nakakaramdam ng pagka-aburido?
Ikaw ba ay laging nakakaramdam ng hirap, hindi lang sa pangkalusugan, kundi pati sa emosyonal, mental, at pinansyal na mga aspeto?
Hmm…
If you answered yes to all these questions, isa lang ang kahulugan nito:
You are living under STRESS.
Bakit nga ba tayo nakakaramdam ng matinding stress sa ating buhay?
I believe there is one major issue – CONTROL.
Aminin man natin o hindi, we were trained to always be in control of our life. ‘Ika nga ni William Ernest Henley, “we are the master of our fate and the master of our soul”.
Believe me, I tried to take control of my life and my destiny and tried to do it my way. But the end is near, so I have to face my final curtain and that is FRUSTRATION and FAILURE because I tried to do it MY WAY.
(‘Buti na lang hindi ito karaoke time, baka may mag-away pa nang dahil sa mic.)
These are what I’ve realized in life:
ACCEPT THAT YOU CAN’T CONTROL EVERYTHING.
May mga bagay na wala sa kamay natin ang kasagutan.
Kahit mag-tumbling tayo ng paulit-ulit, hindi natin mababago ang sitwasyon.
Halimbawa, hindi natin alam kung kailan tayo:
- Mapapansin sa trabaho.
- Tataasan ng sweldo.
- Aasenso at yayaman.
Kahit gaano tayo kasipag, kahit mag 24/7 pa tayo sa trabaho, hindi natin kontrolado ang mga ito.
If we want to succeed, we’ll just do what we have to do and wait for that moment to come. Allow yourself to be surprised and…
ACCEPT THAT ALL WONDERFUL THINGS TAKE TIME.
Sa mga hindi nakakaalam, bata pa lang ako, I learned how to sell a variety of things just to help my family. Nagtitinda ako ng tissue paper, pants, shoes, and even put up a video rental business at the age of 12 just to get us by.
- Naging artista…
- Naging producer ng concert…
- Naging direct seller…
- Naging life and wealth coach…
You see, reaching goals in life takes a lot of time. Walang exception dahil dadaan at dadaan talaga tayo sa butas ng karayom.
But then again, GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT. Tiyaga lang, mga kapatid. ‘Wag mainip. Your time will come.
Just…
ACCEPT THAT GOD HAS BETTER PLANS.
When we feel that we are being tested, that’s where our FAITH in God comes to play.
- Susuko ka ba?
- Aayaw?
- Magagalit?
Because if we have faith in God, we will trust His plans no matter what. Tatanggapin natin ang lahat because we know that He’s preparing something extra special for us na kadalasan ay hindi natin inaasahan.
Maniwala ka! It happened to me and I am sure it will happen to you, too!
Let’s recap…
ACCEPT THAT YOU CAN’T CONTROL EVERYTHING.
ACCEPT THAT ALL WONDERFUL THINGS TAKE TIME.
ACCEPT THAT GOD HAS BETTER PLANS.
THINK. REFLECT. APPLY.
Are you willing to surrender your control and accept that you can’t control everything in life?
Are you willing to wait and accept that wonderful things take time?
Do you believe when God closes a door, He will open a window of opportunity?
