Adapted from: You Have the Power to Create Love by Bo Sanchez
Don’t try to please everyone. Disappoint people. Know your call and answer it. (As the cliché goes, be yourself. Be always true to yourself. No matter how much we try our very best and show the world what we’ve got, people would always have something to say. People love to comment.)
Life isn’t about trying to be an expert in everything. It’s about being an expert in one thing and offering it to the world. (Stop trying too hard. Take it easy on yourself. Admit to yourself that you have limitations. Hone the skills that you already have. Be the best of what you are. You’re no Rizal, it takes more than a genius to be Jack of all trades.)
Love is like that. It is giving oneself without expecting anything in return. If I want to get paid, then it isn’t love. It’s a business opportunity. (Just love without demands. You can’t always have everything just because you want to and you can’t change your partner. Acceptance is the key to a lasting relationship.)
Never go after fame. In the heart of God, you’re always a star. Always were, always will be. (Popularity will always fade. It won’t matter how many people you know and who knows you, what will live on even when you’re gone is the impact that you will make to each and every one you meet. They would soon forget your title, or who you have become; but they will always remember how you made them feel.)
If we don’t like our jobs, if we don’t like the state of our relationships, if we don’t like what’s happening to our spiritual lives – we have no one to blame but ourselves. Free will. (Free will or the gift of choice has been the greatest gift God has given to all of us. He created us but he never demanded us to follow him strictly, he allowed us to do things sincerely and embrace His love in our times. As one friend told me, you can’t change the situation, but you can always change what you feel. So choose to be happy and realistic, you are far greater than those obstacles.)
Why have I complicated my life? Because I decided to love. As long as you complicate your life because of love, then it’s glorious. (There is no guarantee that love would be pain-free. We have hurdled through a lot, compromised, sacrificed to love fully and love honestly and faithfully. It takes a brave soul to love another person. And it feels so good to love and be loved.)
I know that on planet earth, there are days when God doesn’t bless us with what we’re asking for, because He knows that those very things will make us sick. (For He has plans for all of us, set our fate and we can choose to grab it. Trust in Him because some problems may be blessings in disguise and things will come our way in the right time, when we’re ready.)
