A Lesson for Life

When you fully trust a person without any doubt, you finally get one of two results:

A person for life or A lesson for life...

Kaleidoscope World

by Francis Magalona

 

 

So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve, while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure, and some half-bred
Some are sober, and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate
And some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout, while some are thin
And some are friends, and some are foes
Some have some, while some have most
Yeah

Every color, every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Some are great, and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems, and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all, while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim, while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk, while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how, don't ask me why
And some are friends, and some are foes
Some have some, while some have most
Yeah

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
Kaleidoscope world
In this kaleidoscope world

Life is a risk..

 

Life is a beautiful struggle

 

Our struggles fuel our strength to overcome every obstacle in life. If we succumb  to these trials then life will never be beautiful at all. What makes life beautiful is when we succeed over our struggles. When we triumphed over these challenges. That is the time when we reach our after sought success.

 

Life is an art

 

Your life’s purpose…

You will always be a part of some people’s life. You may never find out where you fit, but others will fill up the empty spaces in their lives with pieces of you.

So when you wonder what’s the purpose of your existence, remember that others’ life may never be complete without you.

The right measure…

The measure of a matured person is not how well he prepares for everything to go right, but on how he stands up and move on after everything goes wrong.

Make a change…

Make a change while

you still have a

chance, because

there will come a

time when there

will be a lot of

room for changes…

..But no more room

for chances..

Living Life

Opposite ends tend to provide just that, contrasts and conflicts but it’s so wonderful to note that opposites can both provide a bigger picture of how life should be looked upon…

 

The Coca Cola OFW Project

For most Filipinos who have been dreaming a better life for their love ones... everything is sacrifice. This video simply brings joy and tears not only to them but to those who know how hard it is to be away from one’s family.

 

Treasure your life…

 

As I jumped off a building…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Life is like a piano…

 

 

Life is like a piano. The white keys represent happiness, the black keys show sadness. But as you go through life’s journey, remember that the black keys make music too…

Life is like playing a piano. You need to use all the keys be it black or white to make beautiful music. Happiness, sadness all things in life will always come in pair and both sides prove beneficial as you go along in your journey. Happiness provides satisfaction and resolution, sadness on the other hand provides perseverance and strength.

Remember that life is not always the way we want it to be. At times you are playing a perfect tune but other times you’re not playing good melodies. These are the times when you have to find the right pitch, the right keys and the right timing.  These are life’s challenges. Accept them and for sure you’ll be playing a perfect  concerto. 

Life is like a story

 

 

 

 

All the world's a stage says Shakespeare and each of us plays different roles. Most of us play the same roles but with different depth of character. Therefore each of us is unique on this stage. Our character will undergo into different stages. But the thing is, each of us play the lead roles in our own stage. We may see ourselves as the hero or heroine but others may perceive of us as the villain. But no matter what others will see in us, it's up to us how we will portray our role. 

Life is full of hard decisions…

 

 

Like this man, we are all confronted with multitudes of choices everyday, where one choice leads to several paths and decisions leads to more choices.  Choices, paths, decisions, all are but part of our daily struggle to achieve a better life.

Castle speaks about life

I picked up a nice life quote from one of my favorite TV sh0ws, Castle from ABC.  I thought it’s worth sharing.


The series is about this popular mystery-writer, Rick Castle who partnered with a beautiful and uncanny detective, Kate Becket because he perceived her as  the model for the main character of his new book series Nikki Heat. As he tags along in the crime scenes, he helps in solving them by providing his insights about how the murderer thinks or how the plot of crime should be. While he does his job, he also manages to squeeze some time with his daughter Alexis.  

Don’t let go…

 

Life is a ludicrous process. You can’t go through life without experiencing challenges, pains and trials. The sublime part is that you may choose not to go through it alone. You may receive bits and pieces of  help from your friends, real friends that is, colleagues and family. However, there’s Someone whom you can turn to always and will always be there for you no matter what. So don’t let go, have faith and you’ll pass through each ludicrous process of life.

Life feels good when somebody's THERE……

It feels better when somebody SHARES……

It feels best when somebody CARES……

 

Life is like a rainbow

 

We try to control life the way we want it to be but the thing is, sometimes it doesn’t work that way. When you begin to think that your life is your own and that you feel like you deserve better, you’ll begin to attract insurmountable pressure. You’ll feel an enormous stress pressing from every corners within you. And unless you can withstand it, you’ll lose the very joy and happiness that have been there with you from the start. So try to watch your life from afar, just like a rainbow. You’ll see the beauty that has been there all along.

 

 

Postscript: Thanks to my wife from reminding me this. =)

Life’s choices

Another beautiful forwarded-message…

 

“Life is about learning that you have

a choice.

You can choose to be hopeful rather than hopeless;

You can choose to act from faith rather than react from fear;

And you can choose to enjoy life rather than merely survive it.”

 

Life and Broken Moments

Life is about mending. It is about putting things together to make a whole. It is about bits and pieces of your reality  and then managing them, organizing them in order to make sense of your whole being. If you get the “whole picture” then you are on the right track towards a purposeful life.
