To Start Off, the Mind is Everything

 

AFTER A RAINY NIGHT. This is one of the enchanting views in Zambales that is worth framing — a new day, a new chance at life.

“The mind is everything. What you think, you become.”

Let me borrow that from Buddha for a moment. (Well I am not really sure, based on this one.)

I am young and old, I am funny and emotional.  I can be irrational, unpredictable, and I know that I am perfectly imperfect; therefore, I am human.

For me, balance is important. At this point in my life, living in balance means I have to juggle between the aspects of my life that I need to focus on, including my relationship with my family, and friends; my job, which right now is taking over me (I am workaholic) and lots of stuff.

Optimism is not about being happy all the time – it is being aware that everything happens for a reason and as human beings, we have reason (our minds) to understand that in time, everything shall fall into place (I am being positive, that is).

There are chances when I feel lost, the negativity fills me up, and anger pulls in. Nevertheless, I know that I can put the pieces of my life back together, refocus myself and achieve the things I want to have.
