In all things give thanks.
You may not be where you want to be
But neither were you where you used to be.
If it hasn't happened yet,
It doesn't mean it won't happen.
A delay is not a denial from God.
In His own time,
He will make all things beautiful.
BELIEVE THAT THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
(quoted from madz sig)
When I saw this quotation it really caught my attention. For the past two weeks my mind was a mess, my heart hurting, and my soul yearning for answers. For some time the people that I depended for emotional support failed me, but the good thing is that I found new allies in this warzone called life.
Not making it in the bar exams did not crush my spirits at all. All I felt was a sense of "panghihinayang" but that was all. I know that life does not start and end with the bar exams and as long as I am able I could always try again and again. I know nothing can put me down when I entrust myself to God's capable hands. NOTHING AND NO ONE CAN CRUSH ME!
I am also not sorry for the stand that I take. At times I say hurtful things but it is better to say the truth than flatter people with lies. I have learned this lesson in life the hard way and I am not apologizing for who I am. I believe that when a person cannot take criticism then he or she should just give up right here and now.
As my sister Shannan would tell me "Ate ang mga inaapi binibless!" and now I couldn't agree with her more. Despite the gruesome weeks and heartbreaking developments I was blessed by God with a promotion as a writer. He knows what is best for me and I do trust Him with everything that has been happening to me.
A delay is not a denial from God.
I know that if it is meant to happen it will so I am in for another round of grueling review for the 2011 Bar Exams.
As for that person who looked down on me (and yes ikaw lang ang gumawa nun) I WILL NOT LET YOU CRUSH MY SPIRITS. Instead you will serve as an inspiration for me to strive better and I know I will overcome. Ngayon pa lang magpapasalamat na ako because you just pushed me to rekindle the flame and fueled my passion to prove you wrong. Whether I become a lawyer or not, I am still blessed in so many ways because God loves me!
I am a fighter and a survivor. Always am and always will be.
Enough said, to move on with life you must get rid of the "negative" forces around you. People who are negative will do you no good. Instead I have learned to surround myself with people who would always believe in me and push me to become better. I no longer concern myself with comments and nonsense other people throw at me because it does not count. I alone control my own life.
Just to wrap it up, success is not measured with what you have or what you have achieved but how you make the best out of life. If there is one word that describes my life right now it is this: EUPHORIA
