Be Still

When I was sick and feeling weak at the hospital last month,
it occurred to me once again how we do not hold our own life....

But on a different angle we are still responsible for our life,
Firstly because I would not have high BP if I were careful of my food intake.
If I live a healthy lifestyle...

But then, anytime we could pass away... anytime...
And I believe that we do have our own time to live and to die.

So we should live our life the way we want to,
Not the way others wants us to.
I believe we should do the things that makes us happy.
And avoid those that gives us stress!

This is also true with the people we have in our life.
We should keep close the people who makes us happy,
and avoid those that makes us angry or sad....

Sometimes we have to Be Still for a while....
To think and value our existence...
Why are we alive?
For whom are we living for?
Why do we wake up everyday?
Why do we do the things that we do?
Are we doing the right things?
or are we just doing the things we do because we have to?
The most important question is are you HAPPY with your LIFE?

I know happiness is a vast thing...
But it's what keeps us going...
Sadness, anger, frustration, depression, stress...
these things drains us...

kills us eventually....

Struggles = Strength

Strength does not come from Winning,

Your Struggles develop your Strengths.

When you go through hardships and decide Not to Surrender,

that is STRENGTH!!!

I learned early on in life that this is true.

I lost my Papa when I was nine years old,,, 

My Mama did her best to provide for us and make us a happy family.

And by God, she did a good job!!!

But our time together was short lived,

She died when I was Sixteen, barely a few days before my Seventeenth birthday....

That was the saddest birthday of my life,,,

From that time my journey began...

Struggles, sacrifices, depression, anxiety, uncertainty....

Not knowing what the future holds for me.

Deciding to have children as my inspiration was a good choice.

They became my strength and guide...

Never losing hope,,,

Always telling myself "This too Shall Pass".

And now, almost Twenty-Three years after my Mama died...
I could proudly tell her, "'Ma, you definitely did a good job in raising me!"
Our Struggles makes us Stronger every time,

Just like it did my Mama,

Just like it did Me....

Merry Christmas to ALL!!!
