GET INSPIRED: Love yourself.

"You are amazing,

just the way you are."

  ***

  Ever heard of Bruno Mars' song, "Just the way you are"? Feels better to hear it from someone you love right? But I think, it would be way better if you would hear it from your own.

  Yes. John Donne was right. No man really is an island. We need our friends, our family and our significant other. However, that doesn't mean that we really need them to find our happiness. I'm not saying that you should go away, isolate yourself and live your life alone miserably forever. What I'm saying is that sometimes, all it takes to be happy and contented is yourself.

  Not at all times, we are in good terms with our friends, our significant other and even our family. Sometimes, we got frustrated, irritated or angry. Sometimes, there's misunderstanding. Sometimes, there's expectations and mostly, there's failure to meet your expectations. 

  When we love, most of the time, we give out our best, give out our efforts and give out even our own precious time. And mostly, we don't need anything in return but a sight of appreciation. And by doing so, we almost forgot our own self. 

  What's worse is when you don't get any in return, not even a smell of gratification.

  Fella, if you're feeling any of those, why not take a break? Relax and review every good deed you've done to others. You don't need to get angry nor feel bad to that person. What you need to do is pamper yourself and that don't need to cost anything but a time on your own.

  Take a look at the mirror and you'll see someone who could love you more than anyone else. YES, IT IS YOU! Look at how amazing you are. Look at how good you are. Look at how God created you so great, you might even feel that there's no need for pain nor regret. 

  You are unique and productive. Live out as if you're not dependent on anyone to be happy. Life's too short to get caught up in a bad situation. Enjoy life! Enjoy your own self. Remember that there is always MORE to life. 

 Be your own inspiration. Be your own motivator. Be your own happiness. Love yourself! :)

CHICKEN SOUP: GOLD-MEDAL WINNER

  The story is all about Rick and Matthew. Rick is a gold-medalist winner of lifting weight while Matt is an ordinary boy born with an illness called muscular dystrophy, a hereditary muscle diseases that weakens the muscles that move the human body.


 However, growing up with this illness did not let Matt stopped from hoping and dreaming. He didn't cared about how his classmates made fun of him because of his condition. All he cared about is  his hopes for the future, and how one day he would lift weights with Rick.


 When Rick was asked by the principal to pay a visit to him, Matt did not waste his time telling him about this. He even told Rick that someday, when he gets to Olympics, he too, will get a medal and showed it to him.


 Unfortunately, Matt did not made it. Below was the letter that Matt had written to Rick.

 INDEED! MATT'S A CHAMPION! He may have all the reason to stop dreaming, believing, yet he didn't. He is an example of a true fighter. He should be an inspiration to all especially to those who are down, to those who have thought of giving up. Life's not a piece of cake. Struggles come and most of the time, we think that it's not fair.


 But we should remember, as long as we're living, there's hope! There's our Lord God who is with us all the way!


 Continue dreaming and believing and do your best to achieve it. Turn this dream into reality and let no one sop you from doing this. As long as you know you're not stepping nor hurting anyone, go and live your dream!
