Goal, Motivation and Inspiration.

For a person to succeed there are a lot of things that person must possesed or must be good at. And if you’re going to ask me to give a nice formula that can play a big role in reaching your success then I can think of three good things that will play a vital role in your journey to victory. Goal, inspiration and motivation.

Set your goals, a typical kind of goal answers the question why he/she must succeed (it can be because they need to get out of poverty, because of expectations for that person or any other reason that drives the person to succeed). Aside from that there’s another important thing that a person must aim in order to succeed. A person must aim to give back, success is not just about yourself, it’s also about others who help you while you’re still trying to reach for it. So you should have a goal that is to give back, to your parents who gave their unconditional love and support to you while you’re still trying to reach your own dreams, they gave you what you need and guide you all the way. To give back to your friends who lend their helping hands when you needed them in order for you to reach your dreams, those people who you’ve met on your journey, those people who by one way or another was able to help you to mold your own personality. And the most importantly to give back to God, the One who is responsible of putting people in to your life, to guide you, to help you and to mold you. It’s a must to give thanks to him, to give back to him by helping others. If you have a goal that aims to honor and to serve God then you’re in a good position to reach your dreams.

Motivation. I have two main sources of motivations my biological family and my brothers from another mother my brothers in economics. My family is my huge source of motivation simply because they are my pride, I want them to be proud of me and I owe them most everything of what I am and what I have today. They are the reason not only why I want to be successful but also they are the reason why I dream to achieve something at the first place. Next are my male blockmates, they are my brother in economics, friends for life and my mentors. Motivation for me? Yup. Why? Because we compete with each other. For what? Nothing just pride. And how can i call it my motivation? Simple because they challenge me to work hard to succeed, they are giving me a reason to work hard this very moment to achieve something. Without them? I will be the same me few years back, an under-achiever and complacent kid. Other Motivations? yes, little motivation from doubters because I love to prove them wrong when they didn’t believe in me, it just give me so much pleasure and I love proving them wrong.  Motivation by definition are the reasons why someone strive for something. It has a vital role because without you can be the old me, complacent and under-achiever.

Inspiration. It is the process of being mentally stimulated to do something. It is the process that gives someone an interest to do something or an interest to strive to gain something. This time my inspiration won’t come from competitors nor doubters my inspiration are my good friends who are believing in my capabilities, people who have praised me because of my good performance that I didn’t even notice at first. They’re the source of my interest to continue to strive for more. They are my source of confidence and through them i learned the value of humility. Inspiration is a wonderful word, and a great thing. Having an inspiration is an awesome feeling that can keep you going on.

Goal, Motivation and Inspiration. These three beautiful things are all inside you, in your heart and in your mind. There are also factors that will affect you from outside like discipline and hard work but before you can achieve the things outside, you need first to WIN FROM WITHIN! GOD BLESS !

Philippine Election 2013. We need educated voters.

One doesn’t have to be an expert to see how bad Philippine politics is, at least right now (3 issues will be the focus of this blog post: popular names dominating the senatorial surveys, election related violence and political dynasty). Now a little more than 2 weeks left before the midterm elections and the solution to clean our politics can start in May 13.

I believe the solution doesn’t depend on the leaders alone, the people also have their part, the voters, those who are entitled with the right to choose our leaders. This privilege to select our own leaders comes with a great responsibility to choose people you are going to vote as wise and clean as possible (if you know what i mean).

Popular names dominating the surveys! According to the latest sws and pulse-asia senatorial surveys there are some candidates who doesn’t have enough qualification/experience to run in a high elective post(with great responsibilities) that ranked too high in  surveys and those who are qualified and already have proved something didn’t even reach the winning circle of 12. Possibly the rankings depend on their popularity not their achievements and credentials. Thats probably because of their surname, of their popular name and people voted for the name not because they are worthy of their position. From there, we can see a big mistake, an error that the voters are committing because of irresponsible voting.

Election related violence! What are the possible causes of the said kind of violence? Hmm if you are going to think about it, some possible reasons are: because of candidates who are too desperate of the position trying to do everything to knock their opponents out of contention and/or candidates sending some message to their rival to be extra careful in fighting them. Why do I have to give some of the reasons here? Well because I want to point out that some of the candidates are too inlove with the power, the position which results in to violence. That attitude shows why they are no good for the post, if a person is willing to use dirty tricks just to win the position then that person doesn’t deserve the position, that person is not worthy of the post. The end of election related violence will come when we (the voters) choose the right person for the said position. We can be a part of the solution because putting the wrong person in a position will bring no good and worst can bring harm to the constituents of that person.

Political Dynasty! This problem has been tackled in a lot of senatorial debates and in news and current affair shows. Political dynasties in simple definition is a political condition wherein a family in a specific political district (area) is in control of almost all the elective post in the said area. It’s sad to know that in some of the poverty-stricken areas there are some families living comfortably, owning almost all of elective positions in their area and dominating the power giving sub-par efforts knowing that they don’t have to do much to secure their position. Political dynasty is definitely a problem in our country and it’s against our constitution but still very rampant in our country. The legislative wing of the government wasn’t able to pass a law about political dynasty because they can’t come up with the same definition of political dynasty. It will take a long time before they can pass a law about political dynasty especially many of them are part of political dynasties and right now we must try to end political dynasty in other possible way. If they are not performing well why do we have to support them? Voters from provinces with political dynasty must learn more, they have to be more educated in terms of the way they choose their candidates and they have to stop supporting those families. We can’t expect our legislator to pass a law about political dynasty quickly because it’s against the personal interest of many members of the legislative body. Therefore we should act now to beat political dynasty. We can’t let them monopolize the power because too much power possed by a family is scary. We have to stop them and now is the right time to do it.

THE NEED FOR EDUCATED VOTERS! A big solution for these problems are educated voters. Every voters should think wisely before voting, they shouldn’t vote according to popularity, advertistments or any other reasons without proper basis. We have to think, think and think even harder to help our country. Election day is fast-approaching, let us all be educated voters, let’s all be part of the thinking class. Yes voting is our right, it is a privilege and also it is a duty. Big duty for our country and we have to be ready for it.

Once again the time has come for us to help our country in a big way. It’s time for us to participate, to be wise and to dream for a better Philippines. Let’s do our part. God bless the Philippines.

What does it mean to lie down in green pastures?

Reblogged from Actress. Dreamer. Jesus Follower.:

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul... Psalm 23:1-3

I remember a friend of mine sharing with us, that when a shepherd makes a sheep "lie down in green pastures," it means that when a sheep goes off wandering around, the shepherd breaks one of its legs so it lies down and stays still.

Mindset!

I used to think that I can always bounce back after every mistake, after every defeats, after every failures. Yes! This type of mindset gave me additional confidence and some sort of courage to continue doing what I want. Then, one night while reading blogs from my favorite site http://www.actlikeaman.org , there’s a question that popped out of my mind, a question that made me think of the validity/reality of this kind of mindset, “Am I really ready to fall, In case I fail to achieve something necessary, can I actually accept it and do better the next time?” hmmm. A tough question for myself, I know I have a good mindset but can that be true? can I do it in reality? Yes, I know I do have the “bounce back genes” or the “never-give-up-attitude” but before that can I accept failure first so that I can proceed to the next step? While trying to look for a more established answer I come up with thoughts in my mind, some ideas that can possibly be the best answer for now (because probably I can get the best answer when I experience that fall I am talking about):

First is that in this journey where HARDSHIP and STRUGGLES are waiting your way, it’s hard for anybody not to get down but it’s very possible to rise again. Life is not about those falls but about the way you react with it, it’s about your willingness to rise again after every fall, the willingness to continue the journey despite all the TROUBLES you might face.

Second is that when a person is down, the only way available is to go UP, to move forward and to GET BACK UP. It’s normal to get knocked down but letting yourself go deeper is a foolish act, you don’t put yourself in a more complicated situation but you help yourself to be in a better situation.

Third is that, mindset is so important, you wouldn’t know if you can do what you have set in your mind unless you experience it but mindset can be your guide, your mindset can be the “first-aid kit” when an unlikely or unfortunate situation hits you. Your mindset will tell you where to start when things start to fall.

Last, but the most important is our FAITH in God. We must do everything in his glory, we must always believe in him during ups and downs, our trust in him is a HUGE thing, knowing that he has a plan for us. We can always set our plans, do our best to achieve it but we must keep in mind that there’s a possibility that God has different plan for us and if we fail on achieving our own goal then possibly because it’s the God’s will. We must follow his words, make it a habit to talk to him daily, we must always ask for guidance and understanding so that we can understand the reason for every fall we might experince and we can find the will to get back up and live our lives again according to his will.

Now having said those points, what I am trying to say in general is that struggles are normal, there are some things that won’t go your way but it’s important to have a good mindset. A mindset that will tell you how you must react and what you must do. Your mindset will determine which direction you will take but like what i said the only direction must be forward and up. Have a strong mindset and a strong faith to God and yourself.

“I Can”

The road is starting to get rough as the finish line gets closer. I’m 3 semesters away from becoming a professional. 3 semesters of tough college life. Right now, I’m starting to feel tired because of school works, I’m starting to worry with the deadlines I have to meet, I’m starting to wonder how can I make all these requirements, I’m starting to be grade conscious, I’m starting to be afraid of failures. After thinking of all those things there’s an answer coming from my mind, a wonderful thought from my mind saying “I can” then… I will start to trust my self again, I know I am tough, way better than I know I am, I know I can make it, I know I have the potential, I know I am good. I can meet all the deadlines or if not, God is there for me. As my college life goes by, I learned to TRUST GOD MORE. I realized that I can achieve anything as long as I’m aiming and praying for it, as long as I am doing it with God. I learned to worry less because God is merciful. I learned to accept failure then try to do better on my next attempt. As the road gets rough I am becoming tougher, I am improving and finding ways to solve all the challenges. At the end of the day, I will get tired, but I will not stop because I trust myself and I trust God. I know it will be hard but I know I can make it. No one said it will be easy anyways, and with that, I know I will be ready and up for the challenges ahead.

“Pray, Hope and Don’t worry. God is merciful, he will answer your prayers” St. Padre Pio
