Never kill your dreams





When you were young

You always dream of something. You always dream of something. You dreamed of being the next President of the Philippines, you dreamed about being an astronaut, you dreamed about being a doctor who lends his hands to those in need. You dreamed of being a scientist that will soon cure cancer. We always think of the bigger picture. We always believe that we can be what want to be. We always see the best version of ourselves.

Time flies and you grew up

Admit or not, most people lost their creativity. They stick with the norms of the society, some kids who dreamed of being the best basketball player in the world end up taking a degree in a certain field because that is in demand. 
What if that kid is LeBron James?

One of the greatest basketball player in NBA history. What if he stopped chasing his dream? Will he be the 4x MVP, 3x NBA Champion he is today? Of course, he will never be in a position he is now if he stopped pursuing his dream. The thing is, never stop pursuing your dreams. You'll never know what will happen if you pursue what you want. 50 years after you never did something for that, you'll wake up and you will tell yourself "What if I followed my dreams?" Would you like to be the guy who has regrets in his life? 
It's never too late to start again

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream" -Les Brown
"To be able at any moment, to sacrifice what you are for what you will become"- Eric Thomas 
Are you afraid to take the risk? Scared whether you will succeed or not? Anxious? Don't let that mindset stop you from achieving your full potential. You were born for greatness, our creator won't put you here if he doesn't have a plan for you. Give up everything. If you fail, get back and be the better version of you, grow through that failure. "Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever" 


What is your "why"?


Every time things get tough, every time you bump into a Goliath. You have to remember your "why". Why are you doing it? Why are you grinding on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 7 times a week?  You are doing something for a reason, you are not doing it for no reason. Carmelo Anthony will not work out at 1:49 am for nothing, he did it because he is hungry for success. He badly wants that ring, he wants to be a beast on the court. Whatever your "why" is, you have to constantly remind yourself about that. It will make your journey more fulfilling. Your "why" have to be greater than your doubts.

How Fitness Changed My Life

Image
We all know that the word fitness usually relates to having a well-toned chest, rock solid abs, chiseled biceps and titanic triceps. But what does fitness really means?  According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, fitness means   "The quality or state of being fit" s o it doesn't necessarily mean that it's all about physical appearance, it can also be our state of mind our mind, spiritual life and other aspects our lives. I started working out last 2016 and I can say that I learned a lot of things from it. Here are some of them 1) Action speaks louder than words. A lot of people will tell you "Magdidiet na nga ako eh" or "Next month magpupunta na ko sa gym" but in reality they never did. It will all come down to action, the more you act on it, the more you will see progress. 2) You don't cheat to win. Kagaya ng mga magjojowa, cheating is a big "no". You can not expect progress when you cheat. You will not ...

Panatang Makabayan

Image
"Sisikapin kong maging isang tunay na Pilipino sa isip, sa salita, at sa gawa." Panatang Makabayan, pinakabisado sa atin to mula elementarya hanggang hayskul. Napakaganda ng mensahe pero naisasapamuhay ba natin? Sa isip Nag-iisip pa ba tayo ng kapakanan ng ating bayan o sa pansariling interes na lang?  Maraming mga Pilipino na kapag nakakakita ng mga matatagumpay na kababayan nila ay madalas may mga negatibo pa rin silang nasasabi. Halimbawa na lamang ang pambansang kamao na si Manny Pacquiao, noong nasa rurok pa siya ng boksing ay sobrang daming sumusuporta sa kanya ngunit ngayon na humihina na siya, marami na siyang kritiko na maraming negatibong bagay na sinasabi sa kanya.  May mga kababayan din tayo na mas iisipin ang sarili kaysa sa bayan. Pinakamagandang halimbawa na lamang dito ay ang kwento ni Andres Bonifacio. Pinapatay ng kapwa Pilipino dahil may mga taong ganid sa kapangyarihan o mataas na posisyon na gustong alisin siya sa mataas na...

Know Yourself

Image
There is something that is rarely talked about in our day-to-day lives.   Self-awareness. How important is it? Imagine your soul got out of your body and you don't know you are, you don't know your name, height, your facial features, your address, and everything about you. For sure, you'll get lost, you will never find your way home because you don't know yourself. The pursuit of self-awareness is not a waste of time. In fact, it is truly worth it, it produces great results. People who are self-aware know their strengths, know their weaknesses. They know what will make their hearts on fire, and they also know what will make it cold and passive. These people are truly aware of what they are made of and what can they bring to the table.
