YOU CAN DO IT

Look within. And listen to your heart. You can do it. You can reach that goal. You can make that new reality instead of accepting things the way they used to be.

You can do it. All of your highest hope are with you. Nothing will hold you back but your own fears.

And if those fears were created by you, they can be dealt with by you... and said good-bye to.

You can do ti. Say it to yourself, and believe it in your heart. Make every single day a positive start leading to a better and bright tomorrow.

You can do it.

You really can.

YOUR DREAMS CAN COME TRUE IF...

Dreams can come true if you take a time to think what you want in life...
Get know yourself. Find out who are. Choose your goals carefully.
Be honest with yourself but don't think yourself so much that you analyze every word and action.
Don't become preoccupied with yourself Find many interests pursue them. Find out what is important to you.
Find out what you are good at.
Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Work hard to achieve successes.When things are not going right
don't give up--just try harder
Find courage inside of you to remain strong. Give yourself freedom to try out new things.
Don't be so set in your ways that you can't grow. Always act in an ethical way
Laugh and have a good time
form relationships with people you respect. Treat others as you want them to treat you. Be honest with people.
Accept the truth
Speak the truth
Open yourself up to love
Don't be afraid to love Remain close to your family
Take part in the beauty of nature
Be appreciative of all that you have
Help those less fortunate than you
Try to make other lives happy
Work towards peace in the world
Live life to the fullest

Dreams can come true
and I hope that all your dreams
become a reality.

~ Forgiveness ~


Forgiveness is letting go of the pain

and accepting what has happened

because it will not change.




Forgiveness is dismissing the blame.

Choices were made that caused the hurt;

we each could have chosen differently,

but we didn't.



Forgiveness is looking at the pain,

learning the lessons it has produced,

and understanding what we have learned.



Forgiveness allows us to move on

towards a better understanding of universal love

and our true purpose.



Forgiveness is knowing that love

is the answer to all questions,

and that we all are in some way connected.



Forgiveness is starting over

with the knowledge that we have gained.

I forgive you, and I forgive myself.

I hope you can do the same!

~ Judith Mammay ~

When Difficulties Arise... “Hang In
There”



Difficulties arise in the lives of us all. What is most important is
dealing with the hard times, coping with the changes, and getting
through to the other side where the sun is shining just for you.
It takes a strong person to deal with the tough times and difficult
choices. But you are a strong person. It takes courage. But you
possess the inner courage to see you through. It takes being an active
participant in your life. But you are in the driver's seat, and you can
determine the direction you want tomorrow to go in.
Hang in there...and take care to see that you don't lose sight of the one
thing that is constant, beautiful, and true: Everything will be fine-and it
will turn out that way because of the special kind of person you are.
So...beginning today and lasting a lifetime through-hang in there, and
don't be afraid to feel like the morning sun is shining...just for you.
Always remember: "You're not a failure because you don't make it,
you're a success because you try."

-Douglas Pagels

You make me..

You make me smile everyday of my life.
Because I know someone will take care of me.
You make me feel love,
when you hug and kiss me on my forehead.
You make me alive when I see you.

You make me laugh with your jokes and stories.
You make me strong, when I feel so weak.
You make me happy,
when you know that I'm sad with my life.

You make me think of you all day
because of all the things you've done for me.
Now I'm so thankful, 'coz you make me more happy
when you came into my life.

-joy l. concepcion

Thank You, Mom

I want to apologize
for any problems
that I may have caused you
in the past.
I am not
the easiest person
to love with
since I am so
independent and strong
but you can be sure
that though it possibly
didn't seem like it
your values and ideals
did pass on to me
and I carry them forward
in all that I do.
You always were someone
stable, strong, giving and warm
an ideal person to look up to.
This has given me the
strength to lead
my own life
according to my own standards.
Your leadership and love
have enabled me to grow
into a very
happy person
and I think that is
what every mother wishes
for her child.
Thank you.

Ten Suggestions for a
Brighter Future

1. Realize that life isn't always fair.
Accept what you must, and change
what you can.
2. Think before you act. A moment
of carelessness or anger can cause
years of anguish and regret.
3. Look for the beauty in life: in people,
in nature, and in yourself.
4. Appreciate what you have: the people,
the opportunities, the material
possessions.
5. Make the effort to have fun: it's a
great way to bond with others, and it
makes some of the best memories.
6. Set aside some time for yourself.
Do something you enjoy without feeling even
a little guilty.
7. Accept others without judgment.
Everyone is unique, and its okay
to be different.
8. Forgive. Bitterness and resentment
hurt you more than the person you
direct them at.
9. Learn. Open your mind to new ideas
and activities, don't be afraid to try.
10. Dream. Make plans, believe in
yourself, and go for what you want.
-Barbara Cage

Promise Yourself
Only the Best

Promise yourself
to dream more and hesitate less.
To believe in yourself more
and judge yourself less by
the accomplishments of others.
To appreciate you family
and friends
for all the wonderful ways
they make your life better.
Promise yourself
to accept life as it comes
and truly make each day special.
To become more independent
and more willing ti change.
To fill your life
with special times,
and make your dreams come true.


-Deanna Beisser

I don't know what I'd do without you!

Every time I see you, you smile your sweetest
smile and offer your kindest words.
You encourage me, inspire me and remind me that
you love me and are always available ~
whether I'm at my lowest point or filled
with joy and cheer.
You are always behind me absolutely.
Every time I see you, I am reminded of the
reasons I love you from the depths of my heart.
Without you, my spirit wouldn't know
the meaning of hope.
Without you, where would I be?
Where would I go for comfort and support?
What would I do if I needed
your smile to show me that I'm loved?
What would I do if I were feeling inspired
and needed to hear your words of faith ~
or if I lost hope and needed to see your face
for a renewed sense of optimism and trust?
Without you... what would I do when
I wanted to share my happiest moments with
someone who truly understands and accepts
my deepest emotions?
What would I do if I needed someone
who really loves me, cares about my future,
and understands my past?
What would I do if I didn't have you~
with your healing touch, your warmth and
comfort, and sensitive way you have of
knowing just what I need at the moment?
Your wondrous, amazing love has always
been life's greatest gift of me!


-Regina Hill

-this poem is dedicated to my mother.
Came from the book of A mother is love.

Faith begins
by believing
in your heart
that what is right
has a chance.

Find happiness in nature
in the beauty of a mountain
in the serenity of the sea.

Find happiness in friendship
in the fun of doing things together
in the sharing and understanding.

Find happiness in you family
in the stability of knowing
that someone cares
in the strength of love and honesty.

Find happiness in yourself
in your mind and body
in your values and achievements.

Find happiness in everything
you do.

Sa bawat oras, ika'y naiisip.
Maraming salamat dahil ikaw ay dumating sa aking buhay.
Pinasaya mo lalo ang aking buhay.
Mas binigyan mo ng kulay ang buhay ko.
Bawat araw na hindi tayo nagkikita ako'y nagaalala sa'yo. Iniisip kung okay ka lang ba?
Dahil sa pagdating mo binigyan mo ako ng pagkakataon muling magmahal ng totoo.
Ikaw ang nagbigay sa akin ng kahulugan ng pagmamahal.
Binibigyan mo ako ng pag-asa pag ako'y may dinadaanan na problema.
Sobrang pasasalamat sa binigay mong pagmamahal sakin.
Mahal na mahal kita bhabie..

May mga gustong mahalin sila.

May mga taong sila lang nagmamahal kasi ang minamahal nila ay may gusto/minamahal na iba.

May mga taong nasa isang relasyon na ay...naghahanap pa sila ng iba.

May mga taong nagmamahalan pero hindi pwede ang kanilang relasyon marahil may mga tutol sa relasyon nila.

May mga taong gustong maexperience ang love kaso takot silang masaktan kung sila ay iibig.

May mga taong nagmamahalan na kahit anu naman ang mangyari ay sila parin.

Iba-iba man tayong lahat magmahal ang importante diyan ay marunong tayong magmahal at dapat totoo ito.

Hindi laro ang pagmamahal kasi ang pagmamahal ay pagbabahagi natin sa ibang tao ang ating buhay.

Ang pagmamahal ay naguumpisa muna yan sa sarili, sa pamilya at sa Diyos.

Sa mga taong naghahanap ng pagmamahal, unahin muna ang sarili, darating din siya, huwag mag-alala andyan naman mga pamilya at kaibigan mo patuloy na nagmamahal sa iyo.
Hindi ba?

Sa mga taong naghahahanap ng iba, at nasa isang relasyon na, hindi niyo ba naisip na nasa isang relasyon ka at masasaktan mo ang iyong minamahal.

Bakit kapa naghahanap ng iba kung nasa isang relasyon kana?

Bakit hindi mo nalang alagaan at mahalin ng totoo ang karelasyon mo?

Ano? May mali? Baka kaw din ay nagkulang hindi lang siya hindi ba?

Bakit hindi ninyo pagusapan?

Kung hindi na magwork talaga, tigilan ninyo muna. Hindi ung habang kayo pa ay may hinahanap kang iba.

O kung malaman nia ito, anung gagawin mo, ihahadlang o itatago mo lang ba ito.

Magsisinungaling kapa?

Hindi mo ba alam na nasasaktan siya lalo dahil sa araw araw na pagsisinungaling na ginagawa mo sa kanya.

Wala ka bang awa? O sadyang manhid kalang at di mo maramdaman ang nararamdaman niya?

Naniniwala kaba sa salitang karma? Ako oo, darating ang panahon na ang karelasyon mo ngayon ay siyang magiging sandalan mo parin hanggang sa huli.

Magisip ka kaibigan. Oo nagkamali kana, sanan ngayon isipin mo ang pagkakamaling ginawa mo.
Mahalin mo muna sarili mo kaibigan.

Tapos dun ka magmahal ng iba.
Walng taong perpekto, ikaw ba perpekto? Hindi lang sa isang tao makikita ang lahat ng gusto mo, ugali, katangian, ang ayos at iba pa.

Sana kaibigan, gumising ka!!!!

Sana isang araw matuto kang magmahal ng totoo, at sa iisang tao lamang.

Sa mga taong gustong mahalin sila ng kanilang minamahal. Love takes time. Darating din siya. At alam ko magiging masaya karin.

Sa mga taong gustong magmahal pero takot sila, alam niyo hindi ninyo malalaman na nagmamahal na kayo kung di kayo masasaktan.

Sa mga taong nagmamahal ng totoo. Saludo ako sa inyo. Sana pagpatuloy ninyo...

Joy L. Concepcion

I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.

I will persist until I succeed.

The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner.
Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult.

I will persist until I succeed.

Henceforth, I will consider each day's effort as but one blow of my blade against a mighty oak. The first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood, nor the second, nor the third. Each blow, of itself, may be trifling, and seem of no consequence. Yet from childish swipes the oak will eventually tumble. So it will be with my efforts of today.

I will be liken to the rain drop which washes away the mountain; the ant who devours a tiger; the star which brightens the earth; the slave who builds a pyramid. I will build my castle one brick at a time for I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.

I will persist until I succeed.
I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools. I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me then I will work on in despair. I will toil and I will endure. I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my head, for I know that where dry desert ends, green grass grows.

I will persist until I succeed.

I will remember the ancient law of averages and I will bend it to my good. I will persist with knowledge that each failure to sell will increase my chance for success at the next attempt. Each nay I hear will bring me closer to the sound of yea. Each frown I meet only prepares me for the smile to come. Each misfortune I encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrow's good luck. I must have the night to appreciate the day. I must fail often to succeed only once.

I will persist until I succeed.

I will try, and try, and try again. Each obstacle I will consider as a mere detour to my goal and a challenge to my profession. I will persist and develop my skills as the mariner develops his, by learning to ride out the wrath of each storm.

I will persist until I succeed.

Henceforth, I will learn and apply another secret of those who excel in my work. When each day is ended, not regarding whether it has been a success or a failure, I will attempt to achieve one more sale. When my thoughts beckon my tired body homeward I will resist the temptation to depart. I will try again. I will make one more attempt to close with victory, and if that fails I will make another. Never will I allow any day to end with a failure. Thus will I plant the seed of tomorrow's success and gain an insurmountable advantage over those who cease their labor at a prescribed time. When others cease their struggle, then mine will begin, and my harvest will be full.

I will persist until I succeed.

Nor will I allow yesterday's success to lull me into today's complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure. I will forget the happenings of the day that is gone, whether they were good or bad, and greet the new sun with confidence that this will be the best day of my life.
So long as there is breath in me, that long will I persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles of success; if I persist long enough I will win.

I will persist.

I will win.

-i like this poem.. it's like what's happening to me now. I should move on, i should persist to have a successful life..

How to Grow Happiness

Step 1:

Plan yourself deep in a bed of faith,
and pack it down solid and tight.
Drench daily with positive thinking,
and keep saturated just right.
Mulch often with forgiveness,
for this will help you grow.

Quickly remove any seeds of worry,
for they will soon germinate, and keep
out the weeds of despair.
Nourish disappointments with hope
whenever it is needed, and always stay cool
and shaded when you feel irritated or heated.
Trim away guilt or depression,
for they create decay, and
cultivate with happy memories
as often as everyday.

Step 2:

Harvest the lessons of the past;
just dig, pick, and hoe.
And nurture the roots of the present,
for now is when you flourish and grow.
Start planting for the future;
set your goals in a row.
Spade the bed well for all your dreams to grow.

Step 3:

Remember the grief is a natural predator,
so learn to tolerate some damage.
Protect your garden with daily prayers,
for this will help you manage.
Bury the criticism and complaining,
for they are injurious pests.

Sow the seed of love wherever you
may go – for joy, love and laughter
are surely bound to grow.
Although the thorns of life
may be here to stay, just
sprout a smile along the way...
and be thankful for what you have today!
