A View from Above




Close your eyes.
See yourself above you.
Then zoom out to see the streets and houses near you.
Zoom out to see your city,
Zoom out to see the world,
Zoom out to see the other planets and stars.



Have you imagined how tiny we are in this universe? All of us are like microorganisms in this vast world, a tiny speck of stardust, adrift in the immeasurable vastness of the cosmos. This Earth is merely a single planet, a small grain of sand by comparison with the endless tracts of cosmic space.

If we consider this perspective, we can assume that no matter how big we think our problems are, it won't still affect the order of the universe. No matter how big the struggles and situation, it's safe to say that challenges in life are just a tiny fraction of this gigantic place that we are all in.



Gratitude is vastly underrated but by doing this mental exercise, it can help us be more appreciative of all the things that we have. The world is a beautiful place consists of different plants, trees, and species. We are all here to balance the ecosystem, to have a specific purpose in life.

 You see your life in a bigger picture. Some things are under our control, and some are not. Instead of dwelling on those things that are not in our control, we must focus on those things that we can control to achieve our purpose in life.

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

"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.
