Breaking isn't losing. 😉

Set clear boundaries.

Regardless of where you are in your career at the moment, it's crucial to know when enough is enough.

Have you been dealing with psychological and emotional abuse from your superiors and colleagues? 😥

Are you getting paid fairly for the amount of work and effort that you've regularly been putting out? 👌

Do you feel heard and respected—or are you constantly trying to keep your lips sealed because constructive, negative feedback is not well-received at work? 😕

I know it may just sound like such advice is coming from a place of privilege—and at some degree, I acknowledge that it can be.

It's not easy to let go of a source of income—of what's been putting food on the table.

However, I am asking that you remember that our lives are short and fleeting.

And that what we're anxious about—the unknown consequences of us leaving our current abusive and toxic workplace—may not be so bad.

I used to be afraid of not having everything planned out, of not fully knowing where I should step into next. At times, I still am.

But I guess I've been learning to be braver each time...

Because I'm learning to value myself (my peace and health) better.

I acknowledge that it isn't easy to leave the place you've been working at for so long... so you choose to be ever resilient no matter what.

However, even plants need to be replanted, repotted at times for them to grow better—bigger... happier.

If you're not blossoming where you are, maybe you're not in the right place.

Perhaps you're a lily waiting to bloom in still waters.

Or a vine in need of more space to spread onto.

Or a sycamore tree needing to reach the skies.

I'm not a big fan of signs, really, but if you want to consider this post as a sign for you to leave your current position and choose (or create) a better path for yourself...

Feel free to define it as that: a sign to leave.

I hope you give yourself the chance to explore your potential and see where else you can possibly land.

It's a big world and the possibilities are just overwhelming.

Overwhelmingly encouraging for you, I hope.

May the coming days be kinder to you, dear reader.

And may you be kinder to yourself. 😊

It's amazing how a broken heart can continue singing—and how it produces seemingly the most beautiful of melodies.
It's as if the pain perfectly adjusted the strings of your instrument.

As if such a wonderful performance was expertly orchestrated by loss and grief.

But I hope you won't fall in love with heartache, dear reader.

After all, it's only meant to be a brief pause before you're ferried to mending, carried to a day after the storm...

To quiet waters.

To a restored soul.

It is in silence that we best hear the faintest whispers of our soul.

We're always chasing things—a promotion, a brand new house, a better relationship, the next big thing.

Always the "NEXT", rarely the "NOW".

And that's why a lot of us are spent, I observed.

So if you're reading this now, it's a sign to pause and just breathe.

You're okay. It's okay.

Don't rush through life because it's already too short to be cherished properly.

Sit back and breathe.

You're okay. You're alive.

And that's more than enough reason to celebrate today.

☺️🙏🏻

It's been a minute since I last wrote and posted something.

Life's worries kind of took over, but I guess I'm just using that as an excuse to keep the stories and thoughts I have swimming in my head from spilling over into your screens.

But what makes today special?
What made me write today?

Had a life-altering realization recently about letting go of things I can't control, of moments that I'm not meant to solve and figure out.

And the peace that came with that epiphany and decision? Monumental.

I now enjoy the present in the way I'm supposed to and I hope you'll enjoy your present too, whoever and wherever you are.

I hope you won't spend another second sinking in fear because you feel like time's speeding up and your to-do list just keeps on getting longer and longer.

Your tasks at work and at home just keep on piling up and the heaviness of these responsibilities is towering over your rest-deprived soul.

I'm not sure if it will get easier. In my experience, it doesn't most of the time. But that's okay, I think.

Not because I'm not worried about my back breaking from the weight of the world's expectations, but because I know my head won't explode if I don't tick on all of the boxes today.

Rest if you must because you're not meant to carry more than you can bear.

For now, I choose to let go of past mistakes that I've already learned from.

I choose to stay still even if I'm strongly tempted to foolishly attempt peeking at what might happen in the future. Might.

I choose to be grateful for this moment. This very moment where my wife's sleeping soundly next to me and our adorably energetic daughter's in another room snoozing peacefully next to her grandmother.

This moment was once just a prayer—and I can't even remember uttering it.

But that's the thing about being a child of God, right? He knows.

He knows me. I am fully known by my Creator.

And that's enough for me to be grateful.

More than enough for me to remember that today is a gift.

That the present is a blessing.

And this present? You have it too.

So enjoy it. Live it.

Live. 😊

Embrace the grief, loss, and suffering...

then let it go.
Pen it down.
Shout it out.
Sing it.
Paint it.
Share it.
Live it.

Live - choose it.

It may take years before you reach your goals.

It may feel like you've been stuck in a strive-and-fail cycle.

But there will be a breakthrough.

The constant rush of water can change the shape of large stones.

So do consistent, smart efforts.

I've had to face several rocks and mountains in the past few months, but I'm starting to see the changes in their forms...

Because I never gave up. I still haven't given up.

I won't give up.

My dream is to write.

And write I shall.

What challenges are you trying to overcome right now and what are you doing to change the shape of your situation?

Nothing, NOTHING has ever made dieting so hard - impossible, really.

These chewy goodies from GoodfeelsTreats GoodfeelsTreats Arezzo Place prove that luscious, melt-in-your-mouth goodness doesn't have to come with a hefty price tag.

🥳Chewy Dark Choco
🥳Caramel Chews
🥳Choco Butternut

I can't really choose just one favorite, especially when the unique dips in each tub enhance the flavors of each chewable delight.

These are perfect snacks and desserts for those who want to have greater control over the sweetness level of their treats. The chewies themselves are not that sweet (which is perfect for my family and I), but they just come alive after you dip them in the sweet liquid goodness that comes with the pack.

Each tub of just costs P130, but you can save P40 if you'll get all three as one order - for only P350! That's a total steal!

Grab yours now and let them inject into your tum tums and soul!
