twentyten-better,happier,stronger

note to self:

in this new year

1. always remember- you went through last year not by your struggles or by your efforts, but by the love and grace of God. so this year would be no different-you just got to stop thinking by you holding on tightly to the boat, does not mean it will not sink, but it is by the hand of God that you are alive. so LABOUR TO ENTER HIS REST.

2. when the road gets tough, simply take a step back. and know somehow, somewhere, Someone has already been at it. it has been done, so breathe easy.

3. family is always there for you, no matter the matter. since you've known that, you have became much stronger and gracious to people around you. cherish them, they are not with you forever.

4. if you had a signboard over you, it would say: " still under construction. please be patient." dont kick yourself when you blow it, the work is still going on.

5. always be there for your friends. second to family, they are the people that bring laughter, joy, growth, discovery and excitement to your life. love them and they will love you back.

6. everything is beautiful in its season. if your dreams and hopes and ideals and passions do not fulfil themselves this coming year, then wait, course if it is to be, then it will come at a beautiful moment that no other can replace.

7. keep reading- remember the kind of quiet joy and almost liberation you get when you read.

8. dont live life looking back- no one can drive straight by looking at the rear view mirror. what has past is gone, it has been covered by His grace. look forward to a brighter twentyten.

9. sometimes you got to let yourself go crazy a little- colour your life!

10. know that when you do this again 365 days later, you will be that step closer to all you want to be, better, happier, more fulfilled, more satisfied, stronger, and more blessed. :)
