TROUBLE-FREE

"Words are not enough to express my true feelings for you. My world was once in astray but it changed dramatically the first time I met you. Before, I was always in the wilderness searching for something, searching for someone, searching for myself. Everyday I always make it a point to go back to that wilderness hoping to find answers to my feelings of emptiness. But still nothing happened. So one time, I decided to search for an entire day promising myself that I won't go back till I find what I have been looking for. But I guess luck was nowhere to be found. Nothing was falling into place. I was so enraged and furious because the sun is now starting to hide yet nothing is happening. Not even a single clue was there to be found. After a whole day of searching, my body was now in total fatigue, tired and feeling of hopelessness. I needed water to fill in my thirst. And a much needed rest to regain my fading strength. Coincidentally, I saw a bizarre yet magnificent river. I was so delighted and overjoyed that at last I could now drink gallons of water to satisfy my lingering body. I was so dumbfounded and astounded by the serenity and tranquility of the river. It made me appreciate the true beauty of the outside world, its simplicity and quietness. Then I made a comparison. I hope my life was like that, uncomplicated and trouble-free."

TEXT MESSAGE

“Minsan palpak ang buhay, unfair, malungkot, talo or sablay. Minsan nga bagyo at maulan pa. Pero kahit ganun, dapat rise and shine pa rin ang drama. May kakapitan naman e… Lakas ng loob, tiwala sa sarili at pananalig kay Pareng God. Malay mo, ginu-good time ka lang nya para minsan maki-jamming ka sa kanya. Malay mo ibibigay na nya yung matagal mo nang hinihilinh at si Destiny… (yipee!) Kaya dapat kahit maasim ang buhay, put some sugar to make it sweet from a bitter and salty day… (altight)”

This text message was sent to me early this morning by a friend. At first, this text message just look like an ordinary message of inspiration. But if we look deeper into it and dissect it, we may extend the meaning of the message.

“Minsan palpak ang buhay, unfair, malungkot, talo or sablay. Minsan nga bagyo at maulan pa.“ Life always comes with suffering and sadness. A person cannot live in happiness alone or cannot live in sufferings and sadness alone also. Life if balanced, often said.

“Pero kahit ganun, dapat rise and shine pa rin ang drama. May kakapitan naman e… Lakas ng loob, tiwala sa sarili at pananalig kay Pareng God.” Life may not be as wonderful as we want and may have lots of unwanted things to come or happenings, we should not lose hope. We can survive this if we have the courage to face every problem, believing in yourself and most important to always call God because in Him everything is possible.

“Malay mo, ginu-good time ka lang nya para minsan maki-jamming ka sa kanya.” All the unwanted things and sufferings are all challenges given to us by God to measure on how far we can go with the flow and how strong our faith is.

“Malay mo ibibigay na nya yung matagal mo nang hinihiling at si Destiny… (yipee!)” He will give to us our greatest desire in our life will be we have strong faith in Him and believe that He will grant us what we want in life.

Kaya dapat kahit maasim ang buhay, put some sugar to make it sweet from a bitter and salty day… (altight)” Don’t be reason of your own downfall in life just because you can’t take the “unwanted things” in your life anymore and can’t survive but instaed take it as a challenge. Just lessen your negativity in life and think of positive thing that will eventually be reason of you success.
