"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people, who treat you right; forget about the ones who don't; and believe that everything happens for a reason. Know a good thing when you see it, and don't let it slip away. If you get a chance, take it. . if it changes your life, let it! "

May all God bless us all!

Be Aware!

In this day and age, our culture has gotten used to having constant activity going on: computers, cell phones, television, email, video games. There's nothing wrong with any of that stuff, but the Bible tells us that we need to stop and be still so we can focus on knowing God. I've found this to be true especially during the difficult times. When you are facing a challenge, it's easy to want to run to a friend or talk about it with a co-worker, but at some point, you have to stop and say, "God, I rest in You. I know You have me in the palm of Your hand."

Remember, our battles are spiritual battles. The people in your life aren't the source of your problems, the forces of darkness are. When you choose to be still and know that the Greater One lives on the inside of you, you are putting yourself in a position of strength. So today, take time to be still before Him. Let His peace cover you. Let Him refresh you by His Spirit. Remember, the battles you face belong to the Lord. Be still before Him so you can see His hand of victory in every area of your life!

Hope we will be reminded of His grace and mercy! Happy weekend and God bless us all!

He Loves You!

"How precious are Your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand!"(Psalm 139:17-18, NLT)

Did you know God is thinking about you right now? He thinks about you constantly. You are always on His mind. Do you know what He's thinking? He's not thinking about all that you've done wrong in your life. No, He's thinking about the good things He has in store for your future. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that His thoughts are for our good. His plans are to prosper us and give us a future and a hope.

Do you know what else He's thinking? He's thinking about how much He loves you. He's not mad at you; He's madly in love with you! Let that love bring security to your heart and mind. Just take a deep breath right now and breathe in His love and peace. The Bible says that perfect love casts out all fear. When you receive His love, it drives out fear and gives you confidence to embrace the good things He has in store for you.

Lets Have this Prayer

Father God, thank You for thinking of me today. Thank You for loving me and for doing a work in my life. I receive Your love which drives out all fear. Make me new as I meditate on You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

I am Finally Back!

noreply@blogger.com (JayEl) — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 13:05:00 +0000

It's been so long that my gone from nowhere buried me from getting nothing...It's been a life struggle to pursue, carry and finally put my life into working. Yes, life is quite difficult and yet we are still alive...being stuck from something doesn't mean a steal mate but it is a new beginning of finding yourself of who you are and what you are. My courage to take a rocky road finally open some different closed doors and become a strong traveller that see the beauty of this life. My comeback brings some different beautiful events, lessons and love that brings joy and peace. Above all these, I met my own Father who always give me comfort from all my sufferings. With all of these.. To God be the Glory!

How to Deal With Backstabbers

noreply@blogger.com (JayEl) — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 06:55:00 +0000

They might say they're your 'best friends', but the moment your back is turned, they lie about you to others. No one wants to be hurt in this way, but how do deal with them?. Perhaps the following tips can help.

Steps

All backstabbers share a common denominator; they all want something from you. Whether it is money, homework, a house to trash, your computer, your style, practically anything, varies from person to person.
Be aware of your surroundings. If you have a bad feeling about somebody, listen to your instincts!
Pay attention to red flags.
- If somebody betrays you, don't trust that person again without extensive consideration.
- If the other person doesn't have friends of his or her own, there may be a reason. Perhaps other people know something that you don't.
- If someone is mean to you one minute and nice to you the next, there is definitely something wrong.
- If someone is too aggressive or tries too hard to sell you on something, he or she is likely setting you up.
- Trust your real friends. They're here to help you.
- Notice the other person's work ethic. If he or she is lazy and irresponsible, stay away from the person as far as anything that requires hard work goes. If you work hard, he or she will use you in a heartbeat!
Notice how he treats things you care about. For instance if you really care that your room is clean, and after you've explained this to him he still comes over, throws his backpack on the ground, takes his shoes off in the middle of the room and so on; this means he doesn't really care about you.
Try to detect from an early stage what the backstabber is interested in sucking from you.
If the backstabber persists in pestering you, either ignore him or tell him dispassionately that you do not want to do (insert activity here). Be polite, but extremely firm. If they detect a weakness in your firmness, they will try as hard as they can to puncture it.

Tips

Get away from these people as soon as possible and convince others not to associate with them.
Don't hesitate to ask questions. If somebody seems shady in any perspective, ask them about it but pay close attention to their answers. More often than not, they will try to pull one over you.
There is a difference between friends and acquaintances. This means that even though he might be fun to talk at in classroom or at lunch, he might not be the kind of person you would like to hang out with after school.
Don't rely on the backstabber for anything; even the tiniest of things. In this way, you will avoid situations where you owe him/her a favor. This technique takes patience, practice and goes completely against your better nature. The backstabber will get the hint and move on the next sucker/victim.
Also do not tell them any secret that you want kept hidden, as they will tell it to another one of their "friends" the moment it will gain them something.
Treat him/her like you would any other snake. Be polite when in his/her area but keep to the path, and maintain your distance.
Make sure not to reduce to his level by saying untrue and bad things about him behind his back (this is a huge no-no!) as it will only spur him to action against you.
When seeking justified revenge from the backstabber, take time to closely observe their antics and policies. When the opportunity comes along- fool them into their own game but do it with style and grace. Make sure you're not going against your own values and self-worth in the process.

Warnings

Never let the backstabber know that he/she has gotten to you.
Do not underestimate his power. Try not to offend or hurt him, but be merely polite and refuse him anything he asks that you are not willing to give.
Do not get angry when he backstabs you. Realize from the start it will happen eventually. Don't form any deep relationship with him. He'll suck you dry.
Be careful when you talk to backstabbers, they might be recording you.
Don't talk to the backstabbers friends, they could be spies.

"Live Your Life and Forget Your Age"

noreply@blogger.com (JayEl) — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 06:23:00 +0000

I was posting one of the articles that really concern about our age, of how people are conscious of getting older. Age cannot be stopped, as long as we live, time passes.But why do we have to be concerned on getting older? I know some of us have personal reason or reasons and keep it in our own. Instead of thinking of it, why not just live our life to the most of it. Just think of what life can offer to you, not of what your age can do for you. Never mind of how old are you, as long as you're happy together with your family and dwelling in the blessings of God. Just forget about those sad memories and problems, always remember that God wants us to live our life to the fullest. God Bless Us All.

Personal Check : How am I living my life in my age? Do I have personal task to live my life to the fullest?

Spending Our Lives

noreply@blogger.com (JayEl) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 07:45:00 +0000

"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives."
Annie Dillard

Many of us are more concern enough on what's really going on in our lives. We work because we want to live and have what we want. In everyday living, we often consider things as normal and some of it are just a routinary cycle of our life. But how are we really spend our life in veryday living? Is it productive? Idle? Lax?

Though life is so complicated and full of surprise, it is essential for an individual to determine his work and how he spend his day. Time is so precious, it is a treasure that cannot be taken back when it already passed out unless we have that fictitious "time machine". It's time for us to check and budget our time. Let's make every moment memorable. We have to spend our time on things that we believe, we could be proud of someday. A memories to tell. Try to remember that in every days you spend, you are held responsible for your actions. So you have to be cautious over it.

Let's all remember that in every actions we made, there's always a certain reactions... Just spend your days wisely, our future depends on it.

Personal Check: How do you spend your days? Are you grateful for it? Make personal check and balance.

Who Am I

noreply@blogger.com (JayEl) — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 06:44:00 +0000

A very inspiring song from Casting Crowns reminding us of who we are in this world. Failures in life don't mean we are nothing but really because of who we are... Have time to listen and meditate the song and find yourself a meaning of "Who Am I" in real life.

Try to ask yourself and have faith..."Who Am I".

How Old Are You?

noreply@blogger.com (JayEl) — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 08:18:00 +0000

I was attending on a birthday party last night, it's my friend's party. Everything was so organized, including the food being served during the night. The party was started with a Birthday Song and candle blowing which was actually a usual part during the celebration. When someone was asking on how old is he, a complete smile and silence appeared on his face and saying "Secret!".

I was just amazed on that situation, asking your age is something controversial to some point, I just dont know why... Everytime someone is asking on someone's age, it usually end up on a word "Secret" or maybe "You Guess". Haven't we grateful on how long God is giving us his very gift- "Life"? Consider the point that if you're 40 years old, haven't you joyful that you live over 40 years on earth?

But still there's a lot of us making age as a controversial issue, but why? Because we always want to feel young even we aren't? Why don't we focus on the bright side that staying alive for more years, is considered a great blessings that God has to offer. Let's keep our heads head up, that of how old are you now means, you have received a great favor from Him. Let's be proud of how far you've been reaching now, living and breathing. When you are proud enough to say how old are you, you have to thank God for the years he has extended and be grateful for it. It's truly a blessing, a wondrous blessing

So by the way, How Old Are You?

The Truth About Failure

noreply@blogger.com (JayEl) — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 08:34:00 +0000

Everyone of us has it own failure in life. It varies on different forms, yet we have the same feeling of it. A mixed feeling of confusion, terrified and depressed. I was remembering the time I had read about the truth of failure, it's a just small poster hanging on the wall of my friends room but of powerful meaning. I wanna share to you guys an awesome insights on the truth about FAILURE.

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure,

It does mean you haven't succeeded yet.

Failure doesn't mean you have accomplished nothing,

It does mean you have learned something.

Failure doesn't mean you have been a fool,
It does mean you had a lot of faith.

Failure doesn't mean you have been disgraced,
It does mean you were willing to try.
Failure doesn't mean you don't have it,
It does mean you have to do something in a different way. Failure doesn't mean you are inferior,
It does mean you are not perfect.
Failure doesn't mean you've wasted your life,
It does mean you've a reason to start afresh.
Failure doesn't mean you should give up,
It does mean you should try harder.
Failure doesn't mean you'll never make it,
It does mean it will take a little longer.
Failure doesn't mean God has abandoned you,
It does mean God has a better idea.

Those things above are true and very genuine as teaching of our souls. We should remember that all things happened has its own purpose and only God knows its real purpose. We should always be strong and courageous enough to face the reality of life. Remember that there's no failure in life, it is just we have lack of understanding on the real meaning and purpose of it. Above all things, we should put God first in our life and plans, for He truly knows what's always best for us.

The Intention of Saying No

noreply@blogger.com (JayEl) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 07:24:00 +0000

There are things in our own that we do not concur on everyone’s idea on a situation or argument. We all know that different people have different personality and belief, we stand of it because of what we believe is right and just for us. What if disagreement on different personalities clash together in a common situations?

Our own belief truly defines of who we are and we think is just for us. We live because we stand for our own cause. When disagreements clash together in a common situation, it’s just to say “No”, because we have our own reason. Do not just keep it on your own, in standing of what you believe, it’s your obligation to explain and discuss things that do not conform to your opinion and ideas. It’s your right to stand “No” and discuss and explain to them things they deserve to know. Your intention is not because of your own egoism but because you define yourself to believe things of your own standard and ability. You already defined yourself, and indeed your intention of saying “No” as disagreement would not mean you are weak in one stand but because you are strong of standing things you perfectly created in your own way of life. Let them know your intention of saying “No” and by that, they will understand and respect of who you are!

Please Give Me Another Chance?

noreply@blogger.com (JayEl) — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 09:00:00 +0000

There are situations in life that needs proper decision when trials come…I know it doesn’t sound good but that’s what we live for… to decide things in our life. We all know that making a decision of choosing what we want, what we stand and what we strongly believe would affect our future and even our present life. Yes, I definitely agree that whatever we have decided is our choice, not just happen by chance.

What if, you have to decide in a situation that needs your understanding, consideration on someone asking “Please give me another chance? What would you do? Isn’t chance enough?

I have a friend of mine and actually suffering from a great turmoil in life, he was so devastated when he just found out that his long term girl friend was married to another man. He was greatly depressed. He was thinking that life was so unfair, same with the situation. He doesn’t have anything in mind but to give up his life…giving up completely that even his work was very affected. He never came to the office for good, or talk to his manager. He is completely blinded on things that were really going on. In short, he was in trouble…not just in his life but including his work.

When he actually resume from work, he tried explained everything and yet he was forgiven and serve several days of suspension from work. Maybe it’s just policy driven company. But as he told me the story, he even wanted disclosure of his life. Meaning he wants to forget everything that was happening, I told him, to forget means to give-up everything including stuff that bind them together, it actually triggers your memory of your ex-girlfriend. With that, he decided to returned back all her stuff for good. During that time he informed the office about his plans. Yes indeed, he found things what he always wanted…a proper disclosure of the situations and answers to all those questions on his head why he was left alone by her beloved girlfriend. But as he continues with his story, he was again summoned from the office after he resume from work. The manager asked a proper explanation of what really happened, and then he write an explanation letter telling the truth of what was really happening…it’s an explanation letter written by heart.

It’s a letter of request, asking a chance and a simple understanding…Yet he was denied and fired from the company…I was really surprise how these people think and comprehend what’s life is going on… My question…Is that really hard to give another chance?

If you were the manager, are you willing to give him another chance, knowing the fact that person was really suffering from the memories of the past?

"I Am Sorry"

noreply@blogger.com (JayEl) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 04:58:00 +0000

Sometimes committing mistakes to others doesn’t end up admitting how we feel sorry for the situation. Yes, it’s really hard to admit things especially when we are covered with pride. Apologizing doesn’t sound easy and the most part, sometimes it’s neglected and even takes for granted.

In a daily relationship we cannot avoid doing failures and mistakes to others, and that’s the reality. It is a general mistake that is covered with personal pride and self belief -“It’s not my fault”. I know it’s been hard to admit mistakes but we should have to remember that things left unsettled will worsen the situations. Do not wait until everyone get hurts.

No matter what the arguments or mistakes are, we really need to say sorry before things get worsen. Many couples are broken because both of them are hesitant to admit mistakes and hesitant to do the first move in settling things for good. We have to understand that making sorry for what we did (whether it’s your mistake or not) is the best way to settle things up. As I point earlier, having sorry is not an easy task to do, it’s really quite difficult and needs personal commitment and purity – a personal task. Who knows they are just waiting for you to say “I am Sorry”.

Help! I am Dying...

noreply@blogger.com (JayEl) — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 07:52:00 +0000

A word of desperation, hopelessness and pains “Help I am Dying”. I was once heard those words with my friend who is really suffering from pain, it’s not just an ordinary pain, but a pain inside that grows more and more. Yes, a pain of suffering and agony inside himself-an emotional pain. It’s a pain within, that needs an immediate attention. I have here some personal steps to help ease our personal pains in life.

Identify your problem.
It’s time for you to know what’s your problem. Sometimes we do feel that we have something wrong within us, but we really don’t know what it is. By identifying the problem, you will have an idea of whom you’re going to talked to and discuss things about bothering you. Try to ask yourself about the things that haunt you, and the causes of all your suffering. “What’s my problem?”, “Why I have this feeling?”

Have Proper Personal Consultation
Too much thinking about your problem will result to a severe pain inside. It’s really important that you have to release your pain, agony or problem to someone who can help you. Try to consult a psychologist, they are expert on dealing mental life. You can also ask help from your friends, or love ones whom you know they can help you. Do not consult to those who don’t know how to listen, this might add your suffering.

Personal Assessment
Not all of those advices and ideas are considerable. You need to assess yourself if it really fits to your personal needs. Don’t add up another problem, and just be sure you hit the highest possibility by selecting what’s really important and necessary.

Work and Pray for It
I believe that the only person that can truly heal and ease your suffering is God and work by yourself. It’s is necessary to take steps from all advices from your consultants (friends, psychologist, etc). By doing what’s best and necessary would come up for a better solution. Don’t push yourself too much, relax and take things sure and easy. By then, you won’t be scared facing the reality of your life.

Don’t let your suffering stays forever... released and be happy. Have faith in God, for He truly heals the suffering of your heart.

Are You Lazy Enough?

noreply@blogger.com (JayEl) — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 04:35:00 +0000

Words of being lazy were often heard at home, work, school, public places and even within ourselves. Even our parents yelled us “Don’t be lazy boy! ”. What is the real fact about laziness?

Laziness is the lack of desire to perform work or expend effort. It’s sometimes a feeling of not pursuing things accordingly. Others might consider that laziness is the way to get rid of those hard tasks given to you for accomplishments. In short, making yourself less productive or no accomplishments at all! But have we ever thought that being lazy is good enough to us at the end of the day? Have you?

If we have this syndrome in life, how could we ever put our dreams and ambitions in real and accomplished? Do we need to deny ourselves living in full potential? It’s not good of just being an spectator and never acting for good.

What are the effects Laziness?

People are trying to put things the way they want, somebody says “Its my life, who cares”, but the problem of having that kind of thought might be destructive and should really be checked for real consideration. Herein listed are the few possible results of having this sickness.

Poor Health
Lazy people don’t usually cook food or not even cook food at all. They usually eat instant foods, like those highly preserved chemical foods, noodles, junk foods and canned goods. They find those foods easy way rather than preparing and cooking fresh and nutritious foods. They even forgot eating at the right time. Besides they don’t even take health exercise program! Why? Simple, they love to sleep, do passive works (watching TV, playing video games, Surfing Net). As a result, you might be unhealthy at the end either malnourished or obese.

Lack of Hope
Stagnating yourself on something not really important might lose your hope for life. Hope is important to go over and do the challenge of life. If we are going to put ourselves in doing nothing, we will really lose hope for tomorrow.

Low Self Confidence
Enjoying yourself alone, because you love playing all day, sleeping all day and doing nothing all day might lose your self confidence. Interacting with other people is a good plus to boost our confidence in life. It help us gaining possible good experiences and ideas from them and later used this to our own benefit. Staying for nothing like sleeping all day, playing all day, watching all day gains nothing but lose self confidence.

Laziness really steals all good things in life, your accomplishment, your self-worth and even your self-development. How can you manage to learn new things in life, new talent, new skills, and new ideas if you’re too lazy to get up and do something? Things in life are not easy and simple, it needs motivation and action to fulfil what we don’t have in life. Let us take our very place in this world and let ourselves a positive influence to others. Share others the beauty of living life and active in life. Don’t let boredom and laziness take part in our lives, instead let life live into action!

Let us remember that one of the deadly sins in Christian thought is sloth, which often define as laziness. The Holy Bilble has a warning that Laziness can lead to poverty (Proverbs 10:4). Are you going to blame God because you are experiencing poverty in your life? Now, try to ponder and rediscover yourself. Are you lazy enough?

There's No Persons Like Your Family

noreply@blogger.com (JayEl) — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 04:53:00 +0000

Our family is our best friend, best lover and care- giver in our lives, they are the persons who genuinely care and love for you. When we are in trouble, they help us healed our wounds and give us hope to go over and move on with our course in life. They are truly a part of our inspiration. They are the first persons to look upon for in times of trouble. We know that life isn’t always good as they say, but at least we know that we have persons to rely when unfavorable things strike upon us.

We need to value our family though they are interfering too much, but we have to understand that they care for us, they worry for us. They are actually accepting us for our own failure, mistakes and weaknesses. You will never find a substitute from the love of your family. It’s simply and always amazing. Let’s always put our family as our first priority and let God motivates and nurture it with love through the end of times.

Self Check: Do I give time and importance to my family at all times inspite how busy I am?

When We are Down and Disappointed

noreply@blogger.com (JayEl) — Tue, 13 May 2008 07:27:00 +0000

Our lives in this world are full of surprises. Though we always wanted a favourable surprises, but sometimes it turn beyond what we have expected. There were times that we have control in our lives but there’s a part within us that is uncontrollable in some point. In other words, whatever we have expected in life, we shouldn’t forget that there are things in this world that doesn’t suit in our expectations. Life isn’t always happy, isn’t always merry, there’s always obstacles and challenges ahead us. There’s always barrier-a things that hold our lives moving on towards a positive direction. As a human nature, we are prone of getting down on unfavourable things. But we will not forget that going flow on that negative side wouldn’t benefit us much even a little. It always stagnate us, our personality, our lives and our relationship.

It’s always simple to put those things in words but never in actions. Overcoming those negative feelings always require an effort and energy, it needs commitment and dedication, requires willingness to undergo on the process of healing. A process that would truly heal every disappointments and aches that keeps on taunting us. But in the process, you need people to guide you, people that are capable of giving inspirational words and people whom you trust. Above all, we should seek the guidance above because He truly heals our disappointments.

Insecurity - Makes Your Life Miserable

noreply@blogger.com (JayEl) — Fri, 09 May 2008 14:08:00 +0000

Insecurity has defined in many ways, and its felt and expressed also in many ways. One of the many definitions is a feeling of not being “good enough” to meet the challenge of a situation we face in life. Some way it is a fear of being discovered as inadequate, ill fitted, or unsuited to meet responsibilities at home, school or on the job. In some ways it is a sense of lacking support or reinforcement where you live, work or even play. No matter what we tried or how we tried in life, and in every possible situation, it is actually a result from a sense of being unaccepted, disapproved, or rejected. But how long we’ve been able to hide this feeling of insecurity? For how long, we are going to punish ourselves, because we think we are unworthy, ill fitted or inadequate on some instances?In order for us to be able to get rid and avoid or even cured this feeling, it’s very vital to know the reasons why we have this sickness and how this really happens, in short “why we are insecure?”. Many people believe that insecure people have the following signs and symptoms:

1.) Experienced a major tragedy or loss in their lives and direction which result in having difficult time in accepting the situation and adjusting to the "change". 2.) Experience in a major failure in life that led them to a question of their personal competency. 3.) Poorly develop self esteem which result to lack of belief in their personal goodness, skills and abilities. 4.) Never felt accepted by others in their life. 5.) A poor body image, making them believe that others see them in a negative light. 6.) Never received enough positive reinforcement or feedback from others about their talents and abilities. 7.) Always felt overshadowed or overlooked due to the people in their lives who seemed to be more successful, smarter, prettier, more handsome and the like.
It is always been recognized that people having this feeling develop a "low self-esteem" status in life. It is somewhat punishing yourselves because we have entertain this unhealthy feeling, a feeling that reduces or even destroy productivity in life, in work and in relationship with others. Chronically, insecure people also believe and live on the negative thoughts and actions. These actions are "I CAN’T DO" attitude. It is more like "I can never accomplish and that work", "I am failure". To enumerate some of those strange beliefs they are the following:
1.) Everybody is looking at me, just waiting for me to make a fool myself! 2.) I am ugly and awful to look at! 3.) I can never win. I am a loser. 4.) No matter how hard I work to achieve, I never get any recognition. 5.) I am incompetent in everything.6.) Once a failure is always a failure 7.) I am incomplete person and will always be that way 8.) I am so afraid that no one will like me.
Yes, indeed it’s unavoidable that in every situation which we are facing, there’s always failure. But we have to think and understand that failure is a part of our journey, and a journey with prayer and thanksgiving makes every situation simpler.Feeling of insecurity doesn’t end of what and how it is, if we are already getting tired of having it, why don’t we make change? To help you out about this feeling, I will give you the following ways:
1.) Be willing to put in vulnerable positions in life where others might get hurt. 2.) Take risks to change your current behaviour. 3.) Trust others enough to expose themselves to others, risking vulnerability and the possibility of being hurt. 4.) Have a healthy and humorous belief in order to overlook exaggerated need for acceptance and approval. 5.) Take a rational approach to each problem so that you are no longer inhibited by debilitating fears or beliefs. 6.) Practice assertive behaviour in lives, earning respect and the acknowledgement of others rights. 7.) Arouse the courage to take small steps in learning to experience success and overcoming their lack of belief in self. 8.) Break the barrier or outer shell of self doubt hidden behind and reach out to others. 9.) Open yourselves to possibility of success and accomplishment. 10.) Reward others for who they are.
The cure of this negative emotion comes within ourselves, the start and the end of insecurity feeling depends on our decision whether "to live it or let it go". But one more important thing, having a positive outlook in life will help us understanding things we are facing. We all know frustrations, failures and heartaches are always within our daily life but what is the most important about these things, is keeping your eyes straight on what you dreamed on, don’t look back and focus on your insecurity but rather take this as a challenge and key points on reaching star of your dream. Let go of your insecurity and be happy!

Self Discipline - A Hard Tasked To Do

Self Disciple has just defined in many ways, though the definitions are almost the same, but the level of accomplishments is not the same. If we are going to read on the wikipedia.com’s definition on self-discipline, it refers to the training that one gives one's self to accomplish a certain task or to adopt a particular pattern of behaviour, even though one would really rather be doing something else. In addition, self-discipline is the assertion of willpower over more base desires, and is usually understood to be a synonym of 'self control'. Self-discipline is to some extent a substitute for motivation, when one uses reason to determine a best course of action that opposes one's desires.

Having self control or self discipline required a proper commitment and desire, it is an adventure that took extra power against the infinite feeling within ourselves. It requires time and effort to resist and turn back on the negative things that we usually enjoy before. In short, this is really hard to do because we are used to, on that practices and behavior. But how are we going to fulfill disciplining ourselves? How are we going to use our very own motivation on driving towards the completion of the job?
In my entire life, I always wanted to complete and fulfill attaining self discipline and it’s really hard. It’s more than a task that cannot be completed and always turn down to zero level of accomplishment. It’s somewhat doing correct things today but doing opposite things tomorrow. I know I always wanted to have a disciplined personality but it does not turn that way. But I believe doing it in the first time would hurt that way.
Though we are defining that self discipline is the assertion of willpower and whats willpower anyway? Wordweb defines that willpower is the trait of resolutely controlling our own behaviour. It provides an intensely powerful yet temporary boost. Think of it as a one-shot thruster. It burns out quickly, but if directed intelligently, it can provide the burst you need to overcome inertia and create momentum.The attainment of self discipline comes from within us, though it is tempting to do such pleasurable things beyond normal situation we should not forget that the resistance of those things come from within, it’s our control, it is our own will to control and apply the “i can do” attitude. It’s always within us to drive and control those uncontrollable situations, no matter how hard it is. Though our friends, family and relatives could help us attaining the desire of self control, but it’s always the best if we are to set up standard and goal within ourselves. It’s vital that coursing this attitude it is a must that we are going to have objectives and plans as well as the desire to do no matter what it cost. Let’s not forget that controlling yourself needs willpower, the power that lies within us. Attaining proper discipline within ourselves is the most satisfying experience that could be treasured within us forever.

I Am Just Following An Instruction...

In our daily lives we always wanted to make things right, make things agreeable according to its proper standard. Ever since in my career, I always wanted to have this attitude, continue doing what I think is right for the company. But with all those stuffs, I was reprimanded on the thing that I am not fully aware of, whether it’s my fault.
To give us background on what I am doing, I am in-charge in receiving reports from our field workers, making memos and reading emails of my boss. In short, I usually got confidential informations and treated as “for your eyes only”. Our supervisor had just approached me to send his email of information to our top management regarding his report in the field with marked as High Importance. I heard their (my boss and field worker) conversation on the subject and called my attention to cater that request.

I understood that the subject was already OK and should be properly distributed through email system to our top management. I got an email on the following day and directly forwarded it to our top management, with a print copy to my boss as a pre-information before the real hard copy with signature. I was shocked on the moment and tried to defend myself through showing some evidences regarding the made agreement and SMS messages. I was so helpless on that part and was hurt about following instructions which you think was right but turned ugly on the second day. I was really depressed and disappointed about what had happened, but I can’t do anything about it, I guess that’s life and it’s a part of my compensation. Have you experience the case of following an order or instruction but turns ugly? Well, thats the nature of work life but we shouldn't forget that life must go on and we should always act with dignity and honor. Never never give up!
