THE REAL BEAUTY OF A PERSON
Genuine friendship must be built on respect and sincere acceptance of each other’s incapacity and
weaknesses. Sometimes we expect too much of the people around us and because no one can ever
live up to our expectations, we are almost always disappointed. Nobody is perfect and we all make
mistakes to the point of sometimes, we inadvertently hurt others. What is more important in the end
is that we find the willingness to accept our faults and our sincerity in making up for all the pain we
caused others.
It is much better for our friends and for us if we drop the expectations and illusions and accept them
all just the way they are. Wouldn’t it be better if we just let go and let people be who they are? For
it is only then that we would be able to see them as they are----with all their beauty and goodness in
which we take joy and with all their faults which we can also see in ourselves.
It is not what we see on the outside that counts. The real value of a person is not measured by how
much he has but by the good that dwells in him and the real beauty of the person is the one that only
our heart can see. The most important thing to remember is always appreciate the friends that you
have because whether we realize it or not, everyone we know is very special to us.

ESSENCE OF BEING HUMAN
We will receive a body which either we will like or hate but it's for us to keep. We will be enrolled in a full-time and informal school called life.
There are no mistakes along the way, only lessons. Our growth is a series of trial, error and experimentation. The "unsuccessful" experiments are part of the process just like the experiments that ultimately "work". Lessons are repeated and presented in various ways until they are learned. When we have learned them, we can go on to the next lesson. Learning lessons never stops. There is no part of life that doesn't contain lessons.
Other people are merely our reflections. When you meet someone better than yourself, turn your thoughts to becoming his equal. When you meet someone not as good as you are, look within and examine yourself.
Life is a matter of choice. We have given all the tools and resources we need. We are who we choose to become and we become what we want ourselves to be. Where we are now speaks of the road we chose to travel. Who we are now reflects the decisions we made earlier in our lives.

HEAD OVER HEART
Getting over someone who has hurt us and betrayed our trust is not an easy thing to do. Being taken for granted and exchanged for someone else could be very disappointing. Our lives become miserable as we try to make believe that everything is fine just to keep our self-esteem.
We will continue to keep the person in our hearts because so many questions were left unanswered. But betrayal & being taken for granted are more than enough answers and reason to let go. You don't have to make believe and pretend you are happy when you're not. You should cry and lament over the loss but don't let your tears run dry. Don't starve yourself to death for someone who never respected your feelings and who was never really worthy of your love.
Sometimes we just have to control our feelings for someone. We have to let our head do the thinking and let our hearts rest for a while. Our feelings don’t know what is right and what is wrong. That is why our minds reason with us so there can be balance. Otherwise we would always trip as we aimlessly follow the dictates of our hearts.
Let your hearts find refuge in God’s loving arms because somewhere in His time there will be a hope in finding love, joy in sharing it and happiness in being able to keep it forever.
