Happiness Begets Forgiveness

You do not have to wear a mask so that others will accept you. 

You do not have to pretend like someone else for someone to love you. 

You do not have to act like everything is okay although your soul is writhing with pain. 

You do not have to punish yourself because you feel bad of the things you've done.

You do not have to forgive others when you haven't forgiven yourself yet. 

You do not have to feel unworthy because someone doesn't appreciate your being. 

You do not have to please everybody for you to feel belonged.

You do not have to feel insecure because someone is ahead of you. 

You do not have to be ashamed of living a sordid life. 

You do not have to hold grudges to someone who wronged against you. 

You do not have to take revenge for you to feel okay. 

Life is beautiful to settle on these negativities.

Do not let your past to pull you rock-bottom.

Make sure that the pain from the past will leave no residue behind.

Do not dwell too much on heartaches. 

Make yourself to be fulfilled with happy thoughts that there is no room for hatred and regrets. Forgive yourself first by acknowledging the pain but don't let resentment ruin your soul.

With that, you will learn to forgive others. 

It is okay to feel bad about the things you cannot control. It is okay to feel guilty because it is just a sign that you are human- fallible and fragile. However, never cease to remind yourself that you are beautiful in your own way. When you learn to appreciate your being, others opinion is no longer a nitty-gritty part of you. Do not excavate your worth by comparing yourself from others. You are unique. You are as precious as diamonds. You are the most special creatures God hath made.

 If you feel like you are behind, remember that wheels are spinning. To-day might be in favor for them but tomorrow will be your turn. Life is a moment-to-moment struggle you just learn how to sail to go with the flow of the waves. Remember when Paulo Coelho says, if you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it. Hence, everything has its own timeline. You just have to trust the process. 

Moreover, be yourself so that others will love you just the way you are. Remind yourself of your value that you are worth fighting for. If someone has done something wrong, taking revenge is not a solution but it will just add fuel to the fire. Vengeance is for the Lord, so cast your burden upon Him. Nonetheless, you are now taking one step to your dreams. Don't let negativities fool you around-whispering that you cannot do it. Always believe on your potentials. You have always the power to reach your goals. 

Believe in your self, always. 

Keep going. Keep fighting.
