There are Seasons when God wants you to Learn How to Tap your own Shoulders
You can’t always depend on the people around you. There are moments in life when it’s just you and God. You can’t feel the presence of your family and friends. And those seasons are not always bad. You may face things on your own, but God is just teaching you how to stop expecting other people to be there. He wants you to learn how to tap your own shoulders. He wants you to discover the ways on how you can push yourself to move forward. It’s part of self-love. You need to do it because others are also fighting some battles, and there’s no assurance that they will always…

Learn to Be Patient with those People who find it Hard to Express Themselves
Not everyone knows how to communicate their emotions. Some of them find it hard to express what they truly feel inside. So if you are surrounded by this kind of people, then please be patient with them. There’s a reason why they act that way. Maybe because they grew up in a household where people tend to invalidate emotions. Or perhaps, nobody made them feel that it’s okay to express themselves. So instead of pushing them to go outside of their shell, try to be more considerate and just be that person who cheers them up, especially in moments when they can’t understand themselves. Learn to support them, and just…

Those Who Experience Emptiness Will Be Able To Give More
I was in the ATM Booth and waiting for my turn to withdraw some money. The waiting line was too long because the government already released the budget for the 4P’s beneficiaries. It’s a program that provides cash for the poorest of the poor in the Philippines. With so much excitement on their faces, the beneficiaries waited patiently to receive the cash they will spend for Christmas. Some don’t know how to operate the ATM machine, so they need to ask the guard to assist them. I was there observing the gladness in their faces as they receive the cash that they’ve been waiting for. One lady, in particular, caught…

There’s Nothing More Rewarding Than Helping Someone Out Of Pure Heart
A thoughtful act of kindness will not only benefit the person who receives the help, but it will also uplift the giver. Sometimes, when life is too much for us, we tend to focus on our own problems and struggles. But the moment we learn to set our eyes on helping other people, we will realize that our circumstances are nothing compared to what others are going through. And instead of looking down on ourselves, we will learn to extend some help for others. That’s the moment when we discover that the more we serve other people out of pure heart, the more we are helping ourselves. It feels so…
