Emotions That Make Us Human

When we were little, we used to cry immediately over just about anything that upsets us. We laugh as we play and do simple stuff that only a child can appreciate and be happy with. So carefree were those days.

Yet as we grow older, we are faced with challenges that are sometimes hard to bear. Even though we want to cry, we can't - not as freely as a child is entitled to. Adults keep mentioning about having emotions in check and in control but how easily is that followed really? I don't think it's ever too easy that's why a display of emotions is always there from time to time. Maybe some people are just good at concealing what they truly feel but there are those who are oh so transparent that you'll immediately see it in their face when they're hurt or sad. I know I belong to the latter group. It's not bad though, being true. Just that sometimes it's embarrassing how other people can easily read you. Especially when you don't really want them to get too involved at what you are going through. Nonetheless, I am happy and content to be God's creation. This is me and I live my life the best way I can, with all the imperfections. And I'm blessed and thankful to have people around me who loves, cares and are always there for me.

Can't Help But Wonder

When you think about the future, you associate it to something promising and the unknown. It is with that fact that you can't help but wonder how you will become then. Yes, you have your goals and plans, who doesn't? Only the deranged maybe. But are you doing something to achieve those goals? Do you just let the years pass by living each day at a time without thinking and saving something for what's to come? Indeed, only God knows what the future holds yet it's also determined by how you are living the present.

If you are single now and thinking of having a family years later but you only think without doing what you must to make it happen, do you still assume that if God wills it then it'll come true? Perhaps it will but struggle comes in because of the absence of preparation and setting priorities. How about the saying "Do your best and God will do the rest"? If you don't do your part, then where does the rest of it come in?

Nobody wants to live in poverty when you have the strength and will to do things that will improve your life. It's not about saying that being poor is wrong. Not when that's all you can be even after all the hard work you've put in. But if you can be successful with the talents you are endowed with and can live simply without worrying too much about dipping finances, then do it.
