Quote
I no longer have patience for certain things, not because I’ve become arrogant, but simply because I reached a point in my life where I do not want to waste more time with what displeases me or hurts me. I have no patience for cynicism, excessive criticism and demands of any nature. I lost the will to please those who do not like me, to love those who do not love me and to smile at those who do not want to smile at me. I no longer spend a single minute on those who lie or want to manipulate. I decided not to coexist anymore with pretense, hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise. I do not tolerate selective erudition nor academic arrogance. I do not adjust either to popular gossiping. I hate conflict and comparisons. I believe in a world of opposites and that’s why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities. In friendship I dislike the lack of loyalty and betrayal. I do not get along with those who do not know how to give a compliment or a word of encouragement. Exaggerations bore me and I have difficulty accepting those who do not like animals. And on top of everything I have no patience for anyone who does not deserve my patience.

Posting here instead of posting to a more "socially" accessible network because I was inspired by the quote and not anything else.

Learnings and Reflections
2013 has been quite a year. A year full of changes, full of hopes and disappointments, full of ups and downs and full of blessings. For the year that was, here are some of the things I’ve reflected upon:
a. I’ve realized that investment comes in different forms. More than money, it is also good to invest in things where you will learn more. The cost may sometimes be expensive but the rewards are beyond what money can buy.
b. I’ve rediscovered my passion for travelling. There are a lot more beautiful things to see in the world, and I’ve been truly grateful that I have been given opportunities to see it. I’ve learned that there is a whole lot more to be discovered, only if you allow it to be.
c. I’ve decided to love myself a little more. For the past years, I have, more often than not, loved people more than I have myself partly because I try to please people and I want every thing and every one be okay. I’ve learned to be independent. I’ve learned to do things on my own. And I’ve never felt more free and more contented with what I am now and with what I have. And this also comes with the realization that I don’t need anybody to complete me. I just need myself and everything will just be okay.
d. There are countless times that I have failed miserably. I’ve stumbled and tripped over like a little kid with a bruised knee. But then, it is always a decision to stand up once more and try again. There are a lot of moments when I wanted to quit already–because the pain and hurt is too much. I got back on because a lot of people have believed in me and in what I can do. They have seen me as one tough gal when I’ve seen myself as a helpless kid. It has made a difference. I’ve learned to believe in myself more.
e. I’ve learned to let go. Let go of the things and people that suck the happiness out of me. To learn to say no to things and give in to more important things and people in life. I’ve come to know some people more this year and I can never be more grateful because I know they care about me.
Each day is a learning process. I know I’ve been so much blessed and I’m grateful for eveything. And hey, I’m more than excited for things to come. :)

“…Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning” (Psalm 30:5, NKJV)
When you wake up each morning, God sends you a special delivery of joy. It’s like it comes knocking at the door of your heart every day. The problem is that some people never answer the door. It’s right there, month after month, year after year saying, “Come on! Let me in! You can be happy! You can cheer up! You can enjoy your life!” The way to answer the door is to get up and choose an attitude of faith and expectancy by declaring that “today is going to be a good day.” When you start the day like that, you are choosing to receive the gift of joy that God sent to you.
Today, make up your mind to answer the door to joy! Get up every morning and say, “Father, thank You for another beautiful day. I’m going to be happy. I’m going to enjoy this day because You are faithful. I’m going to brighten someone else’s life. I am choosing to receive Your gift of joy and passing it on to others because I love You, and I know that I am called for Your purposes!”
