Reality Check: We Can't Please Everybody...

Let me just say, that at last I finished my blog challenge!  It took me almost a 100 days to finish a 30-day blog challenge, how embarrassing!  But at least I made it until the last day so I guess that is an accomplishment in itself.

As much as I want to update my blog on a daily basis, reality is that I can't because of the many obligations that I have.  But I will do my best to post something each week. :)

Well, this was a week of realization of sorts.  I have realized that sometimes opportunities do come back and knock on your door for the second time.  Well it is really up to you if you want to give it another shot or let it pass, again!  But if you are wiser, I'd say better grab on it and never let go.  Take the risk, because it might be the last time that it would ever come your way.

Another realization is that no matter how we try to do good, or try to do what we feel is right, there will always be people who would be on the other side of the fence.  That is pretty normal of course, because as the old saying goes, "we can't please everyone".  But sometimes it still is hard to believe that these people do exist.  I guess we just have to live with the reality that no matter what we do, good or bad, criticisms would always just be around the corner.

So to sum it all up, I would say, do whatever you think is right for you.  Live your life according to what you know would make you happy, the people who truly loves you would be happy for you no matter what.

Just keeping it real...

I am Claiming 2013...

This year will be a year of possibilities for me.  I can't explain it but I just feel that good things are bound to happen.

I am getting ready to take baby steps that hopefully would take me to where I want to be...

I know that things may get rough ahead.  I may meet some obstacles along the way, but as long as I have my family and friends with me, I know things are going to be okay.

So for this year, here are some things I have kept in mind and I wanted to share them hoping that it might just help you achieve whatever it is you are aiming for this year.

The three simple yet helpful rules in life

Be thankful for each new day because it gives you another chance at life.

No matter how tough life gets, good things are always bound to happen.

Never lose hope.  If at one point you feel that things are messed up, just believe that things happen for a reason, and everything will fall into place at the right time.

Encourage yourself to take chances... explore all the possibilities the world has to offer.

This year, I promised myself to be brave enough and step outside of my comfort zone.  To be able to reach out to others and make a difference.  To pursue my passion and my calling.  This year, I will challenge myself to do what others often think I am incapable of doing, and I will not be afraid if in case I fall, because I can always pull myself together and try again. 

This year, I know I am ready...
