At dahil feeling senti aketch…
My own advice sa sarili kong malapit nang mag pipti!
1. Never settle!
Never settle for anything less than your dreams - in love, in life, and in your career. “The successful person is the housewife who is a housewife because that is what she wanted to be!” (Earl Nightingale).
Do not let others dictate how you ought to live, to love, to leave a legacy.
2. Want what you have!
While you work for your dreams, want what you have. Take stock. Be grateful. Be realistic about where you are in your goal posts.
But never fail to appreciate and say your gratitude to the stars for where you are, looking back at where you have been and where you were when no one was holding your hand as you tried crawling your way towards the light. Thank the ones who offered a hand.
3. Set a limit to the kind of service, kindness, patience, love and care you are willing to invest in another human. Needs are sometimes, unending. Humans, are more often than not, insatiable. Train others to not abuse your kindness. But likewise, do not abuse other people’s kindness, patience and love. They too, have their limits.
4. Walk!
Walk an awful lot. But equally so, sleep. Rest. Sit down and do nothing. That too, is important.
5. Drink wine.
Eat cheese.
Add butter to that gluten-rich bread! Yes, it is ok also not to be over zealous about your health, about being good, nice, kind. Cuz that too, is a malady! In all things, touch middle ground. Extreme on either side is insanity!
Live.
Love.
Be joyful.
Laugh. With total abandon.
Dream.
Leave a legacy.
For yourself to be happy.
