Changing

A lot of people would say changing themselves is really difficult. They would say stuff like they are old enough to do so; they are who they are and it's best to keep it that way; they believe that you just can't change who you really are; they say they are comfortable being who they are in the present; they say that you're just fooling yourself if you try to be something that you are not; etc. With these reasons they then opt to not change. Honestly, I find this attitude really sad. These are the attitudes that just make our world a mess. Ok, I would understand if the change is for bad. Of course, changing for bad is against every person’s nature of being good and since it would just provide something bad, no one likes that and definitely we should not change for that. But in changing for good or for ones betterment, I think that is just not the right attitude. This is understandable... Yes, of course it is. It's understandable to have that kind of attitude about changing for good sometimes but only at first when we haven't thought of it deep enough. In changing, at first, you'll feel that stubborn feeling but not because you are trying to be someone you are not. It also doesn't mean you can't change that attitude 'coz that's what you are and you just can't change what you are. The reason for this is that you just got used to that trait and consciously or unconsciously, you've let it grow in you, and eventually you get to be satisfied with it thus letting it go becomes seemingly hard. Yes, it just seems hard. It's really easy if we just think deep enough and right enough about it. If you'll ask me, I do have my own way but I think it doesn't work for everybody. But basically it's simply about weighing all the necessary things, knowing what hinders you, thinking far, and thinking with God in mind. Changing is great and I think it's one of the best things we can do with our God-given-privilege of having free will. I believe we should make the most of it. It is just a matter of choice. Let's choose to make this world a better place to be. Let's have a passion in changing for our betterment and let's make Him smile.

To Those Who Are Backstabbed

I really can't understand why there are lots of people that no matter how good you are to them and no matter how giving you are to them, they still tend to backstab you... they still tend to pull you down... they still pretend to be your friend. I wonder why they are like that when even to the people who have done you some mistake shouldn't be treated wrongfully. Is it really a sad fact of life that everyone goes through every now and then? I'm beginning to realize that it is. I wonder how those people think... How can they possibly act badly to someone who is only trying to be good to them or haven't done anything bad to them... oh well, maybe we just need to be thankful... maybe we just need to ask Him to help us be thankful instead... well, be thankful 'coz in times we meet people like this, we are able to practice our principles that in such a way we get to be a better person... be thankful 'coz we get to have a chance to see what's right from wrong... let's just be thankful and be proud of ourselves 'coz it is us who are treated like this, it is not us who are treating others like this... :)

Seeing Others' Difference

All of us once and again question people's personality or attitude... may it be something bad, weird or just anything contrast to our own... this doubt then prompt us to get mad, be hurt or even do something bad... which is wrong... we all have weaknesses, flaws, and differences with others that have cropped up from that very moment those two cells met 'til the time we see that unlikeliness... if it is easy for us to see and accept those improbable things that we do, why isn't it easy to do the same thing with others? we all have our own disparities and so are all others... to judge them wouldn't make any thing easier... to lose hope wouldn't do any good... we just got to understand and see those things in a right way... we have to understand that everyone have his own disposition that makes him different from others... we should see those things as "natural" things but not "normal" if it is something bad (of course, if it’s evil in character, we should not tolerate it)… we must see those things as an opportunity to do something good for others... Life is indeed short, as they say... and we have to take every opportunity to do something good in preparation for the next life He has for us. :)
