My Mantra For a Happy Life

I want to live in a happy and productive life rather than run after it. I was actually lying on my bed when this whirls on my mind. I know this is easy to say and hard to do, but I still want to share this with you.

My mantra for a happy life:

• Believe in yourself. For some reason, I felt like I lack self-confidence before. But this has changed when I started working with international clients for almost 4 years now. (that's with different companies). But before I applied for my job 4 years ago with a company that was run by foreigners based here in Iloilo City, Philippines, I felt like I didn't measure up in the international community. WRONG. Because many times, I have something more to offer. I adapt really easily and always rise up from life's blows. Just like some other Filipinos working abroad, most of them are educated, honest, hard-working and are warm people.

• Learn. Even if I'm already 28, I still need to learn. From evertything that happens -- good or bad, and every challenges life throws at me. I still need to find the best in it and learn.

• Never lose sight of life's joys. My favorite place in the world would still be the Philippines at Christmas! The feeling of celebration, hope and joy. Being with the family and loved ones on Christmas always make me believe that life is great. Plus, Christmas in the Philippines starts in September hehehe what a celebration. :p

• Just keep going. And going..and going. What I want, I can get. Because I will.

I will keep this in mind always. Oh.. i better go back to sleep now.
