Write you must

A long time I have been ccp –iying the posts.. nothing original straight from the heart has been written …  but I have been so busy doing practically nothing. The time spent in the daily tasks that seem so mundane devours up all my free time and to get a release as we all need from time to time upon occasion, I watch TV – yeah .. but not everything – just Gray’s Anatomy… man I am in love with that – the characters especially the interns, Dr Bailey is someone to reckon with – she is a wonderful character, balanced, collected – compassionate. Dr Yang – some may call her semi-robotic, but her practicality and hard work has impressed me, we always look up to people who possess certain qualities that we wish we had in ourselves, her composure – opaque expression is something I wish I could get, no matter what she is going through – nothing shows on her face – no matter what. 

 

The beautiful friendship that Meredith and Christina share – is so rare and beautiful, its something to be cherished. This is what gives meanings to certain relationships in life.  The most beautiful relationship and the most steady one besides family of course –  it’s nothing else but ‘Friendship’ .   No matter when you connect – even if its been ages you get to hear from your friends, you pick up from where you left off, its as if you were never apart – you just catch up on the highlights of each other’s lives. 

 

Phases in lives happen, people get busy, and now fortunately for me I have also gotten busy – I am writing , its boring tedious job – but I am hanging in there – it will culminate, this too shall pass – baby – change is the law of life, nothing lasts forever, change is the only lasting entity. The sooner it is accepted the better off you will be. Things come and go – same happens with people, phases hit you in waves, but they too shall pass, but loving bonds stay the same – no matter what.

 

All said and done cuz after everything – in the end -life DOES go on!

 

  

Transformation

Light does not conquer darkness by pushing the darkness out of the way. Rather, the light comes into the darkness and transforms it with brilliant, positive energy.

In the same way, the obstacles in life are not conquered by fighting them on their own terms or attempting to push them out of the way. The best way to move past a difficult situation is to transform it with positive, productive energy.

No matter how much you push against the darkness it will not go anywhere. Yet the moment you shine your light, the darkness is no more.

When you fight against your problems, all it usually accomplishes is to make them stronger and give them more validity. That's certainly not what you would ever intend.

Instead, seek to transform those problems, those difficult situations, by virtue of your own positive values and efforts. Focusing on what you're working toward is far better than being obsessed with whatever you think you're against.

Rather than struggling against the situation, give the best you have to it. Rather than fighting darkness with more darkness, transform that darkness by letting your light shine.

Are you your own worst enemy?

Who talks you out of more things than anyone else? Your spouse? Your parents? Your boss? Your lawyer? If you're like most people, the answer probably is: yourself.

You have an "inner voice" that has opinions on everything you do. That inner voice has its own perspective on you as a person, and is acutely aware of your limitations and shortcomings. Every time you attempt to step out of your box, to try something new and challenging, that inner voice starts in on you. "You can never do that," it says.

Well, that inner voice is wrong. You can do it if you set your mind to it, no matter what has happened in the past. In fact, your biggest obstacle is convincing yourself that you can. The first step in doing that is to acknowledge that the "inner voice" exists, and then take steps to counteract it.

The inner voice will always be there. You can't get rid of it. But you can keep it from dominating your thoughts and actions by supplying yourself with plenty of positive input.

Get yourself around positive, future-oriented people. Read books, listen to tapes, talk back to the voice and say, "Yes I can!" Dwell on the possibilities, not the risks. Model the behavior of successful people. Take action toward your goals. Remind yourself of your accomplishments and of the challenges you've overcome in the past. Write down your goals and review them at least once a day. Find your purpose in life keep yourself focused on it.

You can accomplish great things if you'll just let yourself do it.
