Thought of the day

To live is to face the unknown over and over again. But with God the best is yet to come...

Just a thought...part 2

I always remind myself that though I can make choices there is someone more powerful than me who can change my life in a wink of an eye. This belief keeps me grounded.

When I was young I easily get disappointed when things do not happen the way I planned it. I realized that the more I expect the more I will be hurt when my expectations were not met. I also have this tendency to set standards and sometimes imposed them to the people around me specially to those people I loved and if these were not met I get so infuriated. But as I get older, I am becoming more selfless and open-minded.

"Expect the unexpected" is one of my favorite sayings...I learned to live life one day at a time and not to expect anything. Any unpleasant event that I may encounter become an easy burden. I still plan ahead though but I am not anymore expecting that all my plans will materialized.

Is there really a secret how to live life to the fullest? Maybe or maybe not...what ever will be will be as what I always tell my children...better yet don't worry and just be happy....:)

Trial and Error

I can’t help but to over-hear the phone conversation of my officemate and a user who reported a system problem. Before hanging-up, my officemate said to the user that life is a test it’s always a trial and error.

Is life really a test?

There were times when the decisions I made were not really the best. Sometimes the outcome is not what I am expecting to happen. But I never regret the wrong things I’ve done from the past…never. Instead I treat these mistakes a means to improve myself. These made me wiser, emotionally strong and even more faithful to God.

Is life a trial and error?

I married and had children in my early twenties. I admit that I was not prepared. Can I raise three children? Can I give them the things that should be meant for them? Can I be a good mother? Questions like these keep on lurking in my mind almost everyday. But that was then.

I may not be able to give them all the luxurious things in this world (and I will not even if I can. I don’t want my kids turned into little monsters!). But I can give them my whole self and sacrifice my own happiness. I love them whole heartedly. My day will not be complete without there sweet kisses and giggles. In short, my kids completed me.

So, is life really a test and a trial and error? Oh, well I better ask my officemate why he said that because to me life is just GREAT!
