Dare to Fail



          "Failure is not the opposite of SUCCESS; it's just part of it. It's just the first step." one of my mentors has said. Out of misery or not some people ask "does everyone really need to experience failure?" but the real question behind this is "do you really want to be successful?” If so, then all of us should undergo failure. Now, you might be wondering and might think I'm insane because it seems that I'm encouraging people to fail but be successful. It might seem to you out of sync however I'm gonna tell you why.

          Why fail? It's simply because that's how we succeed. I understand that everyone of us are afraid to fail, even me to be honest, because failure is indeed painful but we must also understand that we all should undergo failure in order to be successful. When you fail, just remember that you’re not the only one so never think the world is against you.

          Why do we FAIL by the way? We fail because of FEAR: the fear of loss, the fear of rejection, the fear of pain, the fear of disappointment, and so much more. Basically, we fear a lot. Fear is what incapacitates us and hampering our progress, our growth. Fear constricts everything and prevents us from performing well. These reasons are just few of the reasons why we should convert those fears into COURAGE. If we fear a lot, we won’t get anywhere. We must learn to take the risk, to try, and manage the risk. Let’s not be afraid because the human brain is so powerful, we learn very fast from our mistakes. We are built to adapt.

          Now, going back, let’s not focus on our failure because what we focus on grows. Let’s not build a monument with it, let’s make it a moment, a moment to learn from our failure and rise above it. Fear blocks our learning. We don’t need fear, it’s useless. What we need is TRUST. Trust that we can make our dreams happen so let’s not allow anything to obstruct our learning.

          Series of failure, series of pain – the thing is we should not quit because as we go through them, we develop skills. We learn so much that we become better. It creates a better version of us. We are capable of being great. Accept the changes, accept the challenges. Let us not go with people who will put us down but people who will push us up. Together we FAIL FORWARD and not regress. There’s no way but to move forward and the only way is to fail. It’s the stepping stone.

          Failure gives us PURPOSE in life. Bear in mind that we are children of God. We deserve the best in life. As Robert F. Kennedy said, “Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” I DARE YOU TO FAIL and make it count.

New Year 2013


It's a whole new year for us... Year 2012 has passed and it has been a very long year for all of us, we've been through a lot. Through ups and downs, what matters the most is where we are right now. We're here today facing another year ahead of us. Let's not count on the mischief of yesterdays, what is important is we survived through the struggles and hardships we faced last year and we are blessed because we're here now to start anew. 

Now it's 2013, we should be thankful and celebrate the gift of life. It's another year for us to hurdle and handle with a great heart and a warrior's spirit. No matter what this year brings, let's remain strong and never to lose our smile. We should always have faith and trust that everything will fall into place because with Him nothing can go wrong. Let us not forget that everything happens for a reason and someday everything will make perfect sense. Acceptance is very important for us to get going and we have to keep in mind that while there is life, there is hope.

Let's hope for the best this year. More chances, more opportunities, more space to grow. Let's seize the moment, carpe diem and perform always with magis. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013 guys!

SMP. Ano ka mo?


Christmas season is a time for sharing, a time for joy, a time of love and a time for peace. Happiness is one great thing about this season which everyone is supposed to have but not everyone gets. For some reasons, every people have a different definition of being HAPPY. Some people needs a lot or needs big things to make them happy but some only need those simple or little things in order for them to be happy.

Now, let me just share to you one reason why some people are not so happy during Christmas season. This is common to teenagers or young adults. These people are sad somehow because they are loveless or don't have any love life, in short, no girlfriend/boyfriend during the season. They feel they belong into the imaginary association which they abbreviate as SMP or "Samahan ng Malalamig ang Pasko." This thing started or one's been popularized from a TV commercial here in the Philippines few years back then. They'd think not having a partner at all is one of the coldest Christmas for them to have.

Few years ago I used to feel somehow a little the same as those people felt but as time have passed, I didn't feel the same way again.  It isn't supposed to be like that. I came to realize that as a young adult whether I have a partner or not, I always have all the reason to feel warm and loved during the season and that having a girlfriend would not define my happiness during Christmas time. I kept in mind that I am deeply loved by God and that He has blessed me with a lot of blessing in which I must count on. Rather than looking at what I don't have, I must look on to what I have and what is around me. My friends,  my family, and all those people who matter, I have all these people who loves and cares for me with all that I am and all that I'd be. Though were not rich, we don't have much, but at least we don't have none. Besides I have what is priceless, which matters the most, what those significant people have for me and what I have for them. We shared happiness, joy, peace and love which are enough for me to say that I am proudly still a member of SMP last Christmas BUT with a different meaning, "Samahan ng Masasaya ang Pasko." In fact, last Christmas was one of the best Christmas that I ever had. 

We must bear in minds and in our hearts the reason for this season, it's Him. Yes, it's our Lord Jesus Christ. Spread His LOVE, spread His word.

December 21, 2012


End of the World? I don't thinks so.


Many predictions about the end of the world were exposed but all of them were proven wrong, none of them came true. Some people were afraid though, some even panicked and prepared for it but some didn't, some just simply knows that no man shall be certain of it.  December 21, 2012 finally came and definitely it was not the end of the world. It was a fine Wednesday and life went on normally, classes went on, people worked just like the regular days and everything was ordinary. 
 
Well, this just goes to show that no one really knows exactly when or how this world ends and no one will ever know until that day finally comes. As what is said in the bible from Matthew 24:36-37 "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man." 

People shouldn't play gods because they're not God, whether the end of the world is today or tomorrow, no one knows but for sure that day will come. Our time here on earth is just our borrowed time from God. Life is short, we shouldn't waste time predicting those things as to when it happens but instead we should live life to the fullest, manifest His purpose for us here on earth, serve him well and just become always prepared for His second coming.

          Nothing is permanent on this world and we must remember that this not our home, our real home is there somewhere where our father has prepared for us - heaven. Let's not be too attached on earthly things, let's keep only what matters most and what is essential. Do what's right and do it for His glory, always.




[Notes on personal experience): It wasn't the end of the world but without a doubt it was the end of my very torturing day. Papers, prelims, orders, sleepless nights at and my annoying sweat - til next time..! Hahaha..xD Thank You Lord that I still survived that day and for helping me through it! =D]
