Never settle for the path of a least resistance

I haven't really discovered my purpose for writing in this blog but as my thoughts are being written, they come alive and become heard.


"How do you see the world?" Retrieved from Mikelfrench.org 

I want to share my experiences with you and maybe teach you a thing or two.

To answer the question the caption under the picture, I see no beauty in the world yet.
I've done just what I shouldn't have done, which was to settle for the path of least resistance.
Ever since elementary school, I've taken the easier route only to achieve what? Easier life? no. When you're in school, the first day is easy but then it gets harder as you go. The effort you put in now determines how your future will be. The strangest part about me telling you this is that I've known this all along. I'm complaining about something I chose in life. My parents (your grandparents) weren't too informed about the American school system neither did they go to school when they were younger. Obviously, life was different in their times. They were always supportive of everything I did and every decision I chose. In this case, it could be good to have parents as such and also a bad thing because you hold the future in your hand. You decide what's good for you and what's not. It might sound like I'm blaming my parents for not being more strict or being more involved during my middle school or high school years but I'm not (only a small part of me is :P). I can learn from it. Also I have no right to blame my parents because they weren't the ones making the final decisions. I was. Only I chose to go in a certain path.

Yes...the world can be overwhelming with so many options to choose from but once you do choose, you'll have to work hard. You'll have to work hard in any path you choose. That's what life is about.
And I promise you that it will all be worth it in the end.

If you don't work hard now, you'll be wishing you did and regretting that you didn't. That's the last thing I wish for you to feel.

To conclude,
I wish you "never settle for the path of a least resistance. And when you get the chance to sit it out or dance... I hope you dance"


Life will be so much more beautiful.

Greetings to all. This weekend went by quicker than I had imagined. Let's see..what did I do?? Saturday was a walk in the park...literally. haha I was home till 2 or 3pm. Then I thought to myself, "Dang, I need to walk or exercise rather than sit my lazy butt here in my room." SO I did. Last time I went out for a walk, I went in a direction opposite of where I would go (towards the bus stop). I found a soccer field with a cafe. Yes there was a game going on so I stayed there for a while under the scorching sun. I believe they were high school kids playing cuz the audience were old (parents, grandparents, uncles, etc.). After 5 to 10 minute of getting excited for the soccer match, I left home. (oh the field was 5 min away from my apartment) However, yesterday I walked for about an hour. I went the same direction as last time to find out that there was another game going on. Since it wasn't so hot, I stayed till the end. No one won..it was a tie..1-1. After the game, ...

Dreams

We all have them. and most of the time, we want it to come true. we want it to become real. But how can we if we don't do anything about it? To be realistic, the term we should really focus on is GOALS. The terms dream and goal intertwine with each other or sometimes used separately depending on the context. Goals are achievable. Goals help us to think realistically. Goals are dreams with a deadline! I'm not saying it's childish to dream but it's childish when you don't set a limit for yourself. When you're a child, you dream of becoming a doctor, an engineer, a professional athlete, etc... and when you're old enough, you can and should turn those dreams into goals. Only then, it will become real. So what's your dream? And will you do something about it to turn it into a goal so that eventually you can make your dreams come true? Don't let it fool you or discourage you because you think it's silly or childish to dream. Dreams can...

mentally confined and limits

I watched a video of a young man who was tried and put in prison for a crime he committed as a minor. Then he was put in solitary confinement for misbehaving in prison. He mentioned in the talk that during his time in confinement, he began pacing, then talking to himself. And whatever he thought, controlled him. This may seem like it's going in a bad direction but surprisingly, he decided to use his time in prison to better himself. Because the other prisoners or guards sure as hell won't make him better. Long story short, he was able to utilize his time in prison by reading and educating himself. He now works towards rehabilitating the youth who are going through the same thing he went through as a kid. His aim and purpose is only guiding the juvenile prisoners forward and towards a better future for them. This video made me think of how much mind has control over us. Surely, you don't have to be confined in small cell to understand that your mind can control your action...
