Whatever you will be experiencing in your next 10 or 20 years will be influenced by what you do today. Your friends, your family, your job, your bank balance, where you will be living---all these are being shaped by what you choose to do.
Life is a building process.What you do today affects what you will have tomorrow. Life doesn't happen in 24-hour water tight compartments. Today's efforts creates tomorrow's results.
Whether you eliminate a bad habit,
whether you spend an hour with your family,
whether you set your goals,
whether you save or spend,
whether you exercise your body,
whether you stretch your mind
----your decision makes the difference.

The ignorant never see it. Astute people know it. What we do today is important.
You can get away with being casual and careless for a while but, sooner or later, THINGS WILL CATCH UP WITH YOU. Leave your bills unpaid, your work undone, and your problems to everyone else and you may manage for a month or so. Then one day the walls fall in and you wonder why there is no fun in your work, no money in the bank and nobody is very friendly anymore. It is life reminding you that one day plus another has an accumulative effect......

ReplyDeleteZARA 札拉 [사랑해~]---if you could only inject happiness ayt---I would buy a lot of vials.
ReplyDeletelucas ---austere---lalim nun a---asan naba dictionary ko--keke
gillboard ---akala ko ba yung isang book ang ayaw mo---kaw talaga.
ReplyDeletemavs --i think must read talaga.....go get a copy
Pardon?
ReplyDeleteAnnoyingly optimistic? Talk about oxymoron, is this entitled to be one? LOLZ Ahehe
I enjoy reading self help books, Norman Vincent PEale is one of 'em. Booster kasi minsan to live our lives the way it should really be. Parang manual. But I think Bible is the most "must grab/must read" book.
Mga tao ngayon masyado nang pessimistic, ako, di ko alam kung puno na 'ko ng optimism sa katawan pero gusto kong maramdaman ang maging annoyingly optimistic, ahahahaha!
Cheers!
but sometimes we have to be 'put' in the 'unhappiness'. coz hopefully, being in that 'unhappy' box makes us value the happiness better. aint it? just my 2 cents :) x
ReplyDeleteJuiceko, kelangan na talaga ng aid ng self help books? Peace!
ReplyDeleteNowadays, being happy daw requires talent...
you have a point!
ReplyDeletemay tama ka! hehe
naalala ko may isang self-help book akong favorite NUON. yung The power of positive thinking hehe
mantakin mu yun? nagbabasa ako ng ganun dati.. pero it helped me.
self-help books, what would be life like without them?
ReplyDeletei love love LOVE this book!
ReplyDelete2003 was my hellacious year, then i read this book bam! it made me realize that happiness indeed is a decision and so ss misery...
yeah there are some things we can't control from outside forces but it's a waste of time and energy kung magpapaka-emo pa ko
life's not perfect it's given...
nasa sa'tin na yun how we're gonna deal with the situation. the happiest people don't have the best but they make the best out of everything...
Dylan Dimaubusan ---you've been through a lot of heartaches and now you are very optimistic---I think that's a solid foundation.
ReplyDelete|a|r|i|e|z|a|--I also agree---we get to see the difference once we experience both---and that way---happiness becomes more of a bliss....
Chyng---uo---I wanna take the opportunity to learn fro the situation---not that I am desperate but I think this is a good opportunity to learn----
ReplyDeleteand I agree with you---it takes talent talaga---and some are just happy by nature.
onatdonuts---if it helped---then it's woth it ayt?
ReplyDeleteNiel Camhalla--uo nga---good thing nauso sila.
alex ---well said, well said---and I guess your experience really cemented this change in you to be very optimistic.
ReplyDeletei hope to learn my own lessons from my current predicament......It is indeed an opportunity to learn.
The book has already me realize a couple of things...if I may say, one would be that I am taking life to seriously---I should learn to loosen up a bit and learn to really live in the present.....
thanks talaga Lex for introducing this book.
mukhang kailangan ko rin ng kopya niyan ah? hmm...
