What's in my cup? 🍂

I love this analogy!

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.

Why did you spill the coffee? 

"Because someone bumped into me!!!"

Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. 

Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.

*Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.*

Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it until you get rattled.

*So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"*

When life gets tough, what spills over?

Joy, gratefulness, peace, and humility? 

Anger, bitterness, harsh words, and reactions? 

Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it. 

Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness, gentleness, and love for others. 💖💖💖

Bakit Sya?

"Bakit siya?" "Kasi alam niya yung ingay kung bakit ako tahimik". Matagpuan mo rin sana ang taong handa kang makabisa sa sandaling hindi ka naiintindihan ng iba. Alam kung paano ka mapakalma at sanay kang pasanin kapag hindi mo na kaya.  Dahil madaling makakita ng taong kaya kang sabihan nang paulit-ulit ng 'mahal kita' Ngunit ang makatagpo ng taong kabisado at uunawa sa iyo talaga— mahirap nang makakilala.

Love Watching You 💝

Who can resist a sleeping baby? As our children get older, and we get older the joy we get from watching them sleep is something that doesn’t change. Whether your child is an infant or a teenager, there is great comfort to be found in watching them sleep. No matter what their age, they will always be our babies. There are few things as gratifying and heart-warming as watching your child sleeping peacefully, lost in their own little world of dreams, with no cares or worries. As they sleep safely in a cocoon of warmth and love. Watching our children sleep is one of the greatest rewards of motherhood, and a sign of a job well done. 💝

Learn to say NO sometimes

I want you to know that your kindness is a gift, and that your willingness to share it with everyone you meet shows how sincere your heart is. I do, however, want you to be aware that there are some situations in which you must refuse certain people. You don't need to provide an explanation if you decline something. If you are aware that you are fatigued emotionally, psychologically, and physically, it is acceptable to say no. Even if just temporarily, it's acceptable to put your happiness and personal space first because you need to assess what's wrong with you and why you keep tolerating the same people. It doesn't mean you're a harsh or cruel person; it just means you value yourself enough to avoid anyone or anything that makes you doubt your worth.
