She's Tougher Than LIFE


There are times when I'm overwhelmed by the things around me and the problems that I am facing that caused me to hurt a lot of people even my love ones. Is life really complicated or I'm just the one who made it complicated? But I know that Life is full of test, in every actions we made we are tested on how we respond to it. We are graded not by the things we have but on who we are deep inside our hearts. I was really a bad girl back then; I hate it when things don't go my way and when I don't get what I want. I guess you can call me a spoiled brat since a lot of people think I am, a girl who fights because she can't solve her problems with compassion, a girl who thinks that if she has all the material things that a girl her age could wish she will be the happiest person in the whole world, a girl who thinks that she is the luckiest person in the planet because her parents can give her mostly of anything she wants, and her playmates adored her because of what she has ,not by who she really is. Yeah, I was a really mean, selfish, obnoxious and pathetic girl before. But believe it or not, that mean, selfish, obnoxious and pathetic girl changed, but she went through a lot of hardships, trials, problems, tears and pains first before she realized what really life is all about, she realized that she was the most pathetic girl that she ever knew, she realized that material things are not really that important, It is also the reason why the world is full of selfish people, those people that are so full of themselves, those people who don't mind killing someone just to satisfy their own self, and most of all those people who are so attached to this world that they will do anything just to be the greatest person that they can be even if it's worth someone's life or feelings. We should always remember that the most important things in this life is not on how rich we are, how cool and pretty we are but on how we live our lives that God gave us, on how we use the talents and gifts that he bestowed upon us and on how good we answer the tests that he gave us. Life is full of tests, and those tests are created by God to make us the person he wants us to be, but before we answer those questions, we should see to it that God will be impress on the outcome of our scores. Before doing something or deciding something, see to it that the outcome of that "something" is good not just for yourself but for the people around you also. And if you will always remind yourself that life is full of test you can always find a good reason and answer to everything that is happening in your life right now. Humans as we are, we are fund of questioning rational things and the purpose of things. We always asked questions like "what is the purpose of life?", "where do we came from?" If you will ask these questions to everybody you can find countless answers and those answers are based on their own experiences but, why are we really here? Well for me, we are all here because GOD created us so we are his children and the masterpiece of all his creations. What is the purpose of life? The purpose of life is to serve our Father and we can serve him by just loving his creations and it includes your enemies, the people who hate you and most of all yourself. It may not be easy to love our enemies but sometimes we need to be more understanding, patient and kind towards each other especially to our enemies. There times that I wish I could turn back time and stop it on the day that I was in The Philippines again together with my family and friends having the time of my life, It's just one of my selfish desires that sometimes overcomes my emotions, that lead be into being depress and homesick. One thing I learned about it is that, if you keep on holding your past, you can never move on, but It's just so easy for me to say it, It's really hard when you're in that situation.. Well, who wants to let go of the sweetest and happiest days of their lives? I bet no one would, but sometimes we need to let go so that we can move one and live a new sweet and happy life again.
Life is tough but we are tougher coz we have the ability to think and love, Life is just a place and we have the power to control it, so don't ever say that LIFE is hard because you are the one made it hard.
