A Glimpse of Hope

-
The year is almost over and for some, it may mean awaiting a new beginning. But for some, it would mean an extension of difficulties and agony that they have from the past years. We could not instantly convince people to change their minds. But for us who believes that there is still life beyond our struggles, how do we help?

When we know people who seem to be slowly losing faith in their capabilities to fight hard, what they need is someone who can listen to what is in their heart and mind. There is no room for judgment. All that there should be is a listening ear and an understanding heart.

Depression can lead one to more serious health issues. And we can see how this has affected so many people- from their everyday jobs to family relationships. Learning to unload the heavy burden to a trusted person will surely help to ease the pain. We may not be able to instantly solve the existing problems, but at least we get to help them to realize and choose better options.

2016 should be a promising year. And just like every new year, we must welcome it with a big bang! Trials and difficulties will always be there. After all, what will life be if there was nothing more to do or think about? The struggles we go through each day should strengthen us so we can also become instruments to people who needs to be strengthened. When we show compassion to others, it makes them feel important. It makes then feel needed. It makes them realize that they also have a purpose.

So this coming new year, let us spread positivity among the people around us and let therm feel that no matter how life can be difficult at times, there will always be someone to help them feel better.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Surviving Christmas on a Tight Budget

How are you doing with your Christmas shopping so far? For sure, most moms have started making their list as early as June and take advantage of all the tiangee and bazaars that are scattered all over Metro Manila to find the best deals. Just like any smart mom, looking into the tiniest details has become sort of a habit mainly because money is not as easy as plucking fruits from their trees. Therefore, we want to make sure that everything that we buy is worth every cent that we spend. When doing your Christmas Shopping list, what comes on the first spot? Is it the gifts that you would buy for your family and friends? The food that you will be preparing for the Noche Buena? Or the Christmas decorations to have the real feel of Christmas. Actually, I have never been as vigilant as listing all the possible expenses come Christmas. But since we have been experiencing an increase in prices here and there, any smart mom should be prepared for the holiday expenses. Hold on ...

It's another year of starting anew. But what often happens is that we tend to leave our list/goals for the new year on that piece of paper and forget about it. When you look back at the past year, what do you feel? Do you feel that you have accomplished anything? Do you feel that you lacked the necessary time to be able to make a difference? Wouldn't you want to continue an unfinished project? You don't need to compete with everyone else. You don't have to be an object of envy of others. Value yourself more than what money could buy. Believe that you can do something. Believe that you are capable of making change. Aspire to always become a better version of yourself. When you set your goals, make sure that it is something that will affect you and the people around you in a positive way. Never be disheartened when people start to criticize. Instead, listen and understand. There might be certain points where you fall short and need to make just a little adjustments ...
