Let me share to you these learning insights that I've made throughout the year. These become possible because of those people who in one way or another have been part of this so far most spectacular year and I owe it to you all!
1. Stop Rushing Things. Everything will put themselves into their own proper places in their own perfect time, no need to force things into something which they are not meant for.
2. Love somebody else without losing your identity. The most painful part of loving somebody is when your ideal self is no longer congruent to who you really are. Losing yourself in the process of loving someone is never worth it.
3. Revenge must not always be destructive. Becoming a better person from what you originally were is the best revenge that will neither harm you nor others.
4. Plans follow expectations and expectations follow hurts. Never expect that life would give you all the things that you asked. Life has its own way of giving you the things that are even beyond to what you are expecting. Life is like a gift, you don't know what's inside and it gets more exciting as it unfolds.
5. Give all the love in the world. Never blame yourself of giving all your love to the person you think is worthy of it. So that at the end of the day, you wouldn't be regretful but this would even you realize that you are capable of loving and how much you can give the person you really love.
6. Love like forever. When you are given the chance to love person you really love. Take the opportunity eventhough you know it won't last.
7. Resilience. Failures, mistakes, rejections and hardships do not remind you how weak or vulnerable you are but rather remind you how strong you can become.
8. Do not be afraid of getting lost. Sometimes your most painful lost is your greatest gain.
9. Never question life. There are things in this world that are better not to be understood than grasping it fully, coz if you do you might get hurt more. It's better not to unveil it and let it remain as a mystery.
10. Go beyond and tap your subconscious mind. There's more to life than what presently there is, just believe that what your mind can actually conceive is possible to achieve.
11. Just do what is right and follow the desires of your heart. Nothing happens inside the vacuum. Doing what you think is right and what your heart is telling you will always be the ultimate basis of making decisions.
12. Selflessness sets you free. Learning how to sacrifice your own happiness for the goodness of others even though how painful it is, is the best way of letting your self become free.
13. Hands complete the actions of the heart. Love and affection can not be only expressed through words, it is further clarified through the actions of the hands.
14. Imprefections allow us to live perfectly. Life was designed with full of flaws so never demand life for a perfect one. Nothing is perfect unless your life has its own imperfection.
15.Everything undergooes a process. Learning to accept that most things must come into process helps you to understand your condition and let you realize that every process has an end and so as your situation.
16. Maximiz your core gifts and share it. Life is like a glass we need to make it full and share it for the greater glorry of God.
17. Learning to endure is a virtue. When somebody rejected you, it doesn't mean you failed. It's just that somebody who is better is still preparing for you who could complement and is more deserving of your love. Coz failures are not rejections; it's a redirection.
18. Stop focusing on your mistakes. You and your mistakes are totally different and separable. You are loved not because of wht you did but rather because of what you are.
19. Stop comparison. Comparison is only done when your trying to find differences among similar things. You are not comparable, coz no individuals are exactly alike.
20. Finding love at the wrong time does'nt mean both of you can't be together. It just happened to let him/her realize that s/he's on the wrong track with the wrong person.
I've written this as a way of expressing my gratitude to you who have been part of my 2011 and made me feel bittersweet as I have gone this year through! Because of you I was able to come up with these learning insights and made this year an awesome one! and hope that this simple message would help you to get started for this year.
I believe 2011 was indeed a wonderful year for everyone but I prophecize that 2012 is gonna be more exciting and prosperous year for me and for everybody!
AND lastly, to my FATHER GOD, for giving me and my family another year of togetherness, who never failed me, who never leave me during the darkest moments of my life. I was able to surpass everything beacuse of your unconditional LOVE!. I Thank you my Father! All Glory is YOURS now and forever!
HAVE A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR EVERYONE! SEE YOU ON 2012! Cheers!
