Self- reliance

Life is a very long journey filled with awe-inspiring stories. As we come out to the real world, little by little we discover our real self or should I say, our inner self and the real meaning of our existence. If we want to achieve something, we must work hard for it. Only in trying our absolute hardest can we be aware of everything that we are capable of doing. Only in trying our hardest do we stretch our limits and learn our boundaries. Doing what we really want that will make us happy is somehow the same with expressing our real self-- our latent conviction. Trying new things and challenging ourselves to explore previously uncharted territory will also help us figure out who we really are. We are happy and satisfied if we are able to do what is really inside our hearts. If we fail, there is usually a way out. But, only in taking risks do we discover parts of ourself we never knew existed. We should not be afraid to express our real self to the world. We should not think of what other people might say and think about who we really are. Be what we want to be. Do what we want to do that will make us happy without stepping on another person's dignity. Life is too short to have regrets in the end because of the risks we did not take. We must give our best shot in all the things we do. If we know that we can gain something out of doing good deeds, then we must continue doing good. Life is a cycle. Life is full of mystery. Our life is a book and we are the author.

In order to live our life to the fullest, we must accept what we have and what we are right now. We must be contented of the things we are embracing rather than dreaming of something that was never bound for us. We must also accept that all things happen for a purpose.

Believe in ourselves that we can do something extraordinary and we can be a blessing to everybody. Believe that we can stand on our own and believe we can make a difference in our complicated life. Believe that we can be a better and a successful person in the future. Believe in our ability to achieve our dreams and to have a positive outlook in life. Respect and love one another as what our Lord God taught us. We must also know how to sacrifice for the good of all. We must be thankful for the suffering and pain we experienced, because we can proudly say that we had overcome all these because of our strong faith and courage.

Our life is very short. We must learn how to develop our strenghts and overcome our weaknesses as we journey through life. We have to discover our inner personality through the people around us and thank them for being our mirror in knowing ourselves better. If we are dreaming for something, be patient...patient..and more patience..until we make it come true. There is no magic advice that will guarantee our happiness and success. Everyone approaches life differently. It is all these different approaches that make it interesting. So here is my final lesson: Believe in yourself.
