What Makes You a Perfect Person with Your Imperfections

Nobody is perfect, as cliche as it might sound. I think one of the most important things in life is to accept that fact and not beat yourself over it. Everybody is born with flaws that make them unique. I certainly have more than one flaw, but the one that is most obvious to me is probably my height. I stand at 5’0 ft tall and I haven’t been growing one bit in two years! But in all of my imperfections, I have the kindness of the heart, wisdom, having my talents and skills and having a strong determination in life that was given by God to me that makes me a perfect person. Doing all the things I can and witness the world's beauty makes me a perfect person. I am not a disabled person and I am very thankful to God for He gave me a beautiful life.

Confidence is beauty, and sometimes I am so caught up with that to other people say- I can't see the beauty within myself. But I discovered through people around me even though, I have not that beauty but I have the beauty of my character as myself. True beauty of a person is inside our hearts that make us a perfect person. Appearances are just mask of what you really represent. Not every pretty person is beautiful on the inside, and not every ugly person is repulsive on the inside. True confidence truly comes from being content with your perfect imperfections.

Listing out what you like and don’t like about yourself is not an excuse to step on your confidence, but more of an acceptance that you are not perfect. Nobody is. It shows that you are not ashamed but instead you are embracing your imperfections. The imperfections make you who you are. They are your own trademark. I can look at myself and point out all the bad things I see, and with people telling me that I’m not good enough; I’d start to believe that lie, but then realize that I should block out all the negativity that people brought upon me because it not only takes up my valuable time worrying about how I’m seen by people, it also holds me back from achieving something greater.When people tell you that you’re not good enough because of your imperfections, don’t get caught up with their words, words are only words unless you give them consent to become the truth.

Isyung Dapat Aksyunan : Edukasyon, Pagyamanin!

      

         Madalas sabihin ng ating magulang na ang edukasyon lang daw ang kayamanan na maipapamana nila sa atin kaya puspusan silang nagtratrabaho para tayo’y makapag-aral. Sinasabi rin na ang kabataan daw ay ang pag-asa ng bayan sa magandang kinabukasan ng bansa. Subalit, Paano maisasakatuparan iyon kung madaming isyu ang dapat aregluhin? May mga isyung dapat pagtuunan ng pansin ng gobyerno. Isa na rito ang kalidad ng edukasyon na ibinibigay ng bawat paaralan, pambuliko man o pribado. Dito mababase natin ang kakayahan na meron ang bawat estudyante at ng kabubuang populasyon.

Isa sa mga isyu na dapat bigyang pansin ay ang pondo ng gobyerno sa edukasyon. Nasaan na nga ba napupunta ang mga buwis na kinokolekta sa mga mamamayan? Tinatalang milyon-milyon na ang nagastos para sa edukasyon. Ngunit, hindi pa ito sapat dahil ang perang ito ay nailaan na sa listahan ng proyetong na mas pinaprioridad ng gobyerno. Sa kasamaang palad, hindi matugunan ang lahat ng pampublikong paaralan sa bansang ito. Kulang tayo sa silid-aralan, gamit at mga guro sapagkat ilan sa kanila’y nag-iibang bansa. Mataas nga ang sweldo ng pampublikong guro pero halos nakakapagod din ang kanilang ginagawa. Bakit at papaano nangyari iyon? Mayroon silang dalawang shifts. Sa bawat klase, meron silang 60-70 na estudyanteng tinuturuan. May mga gamit  din sila na maaring binili o may nagdonate nito. Subalit, hindi ito sapat. Kung minsa’y ginagamit ng mga guro ang kanilang pera para makagawa ng visual aids na makakatulong sa kanilang leksyon. May kanyan-kanyang pakuno o trip ang mga guro kung papaano nila maihahatid o maituturo ang isang paksa sa mga bata.

        Mahalaga ang edukasyon para sa ikauunlad ng Pilipinas. Paano? Ito ay sa pamamagitan ng mga grumadweyt at siyang susunod na magpapatakbo ng Pilipinas. Sila ang pag-asa na hindi dapat baliwalain. Kailangan nila ang paggabay. Kaya ang edukasyon ang nararapat nating ibigay at ipalawak. Ito ay nagsisilbing unang hakbang sa naudlot na bagong Pilipinas. Remedyuhan ang problema sa edukasyon. Magsimula ngayon bago mahuli ang lahat.

He's My Very Bestfriend

During ENCOUNTER GOD RETREAT in Butuan City

               In life most people have someone to look up to. They have someone to call their hero or someone to call their best friend. Although these people vary dramatically from person to person, such as a football coach, a youth pastor, or a teacher, they each play special roles in the peoples lives that they touch. My best friend, my hero, my coach and my teacher are the all found in one person and his name is Jesus Christ. He is the author of my life, my comforter and my protector. Without Him I would be nothing. He gives my life meaning.
       
                I have had a relationship with my Lord for about 17 years. Most friendships don't last that long. People change and as you grow older new people come in and out of your life just as easily and sometimes as quickly as the seasons. It's hard to fathom that anyone could be a friend with someone for 17 years and He has never hated him or her and never wished they weren't his friends. It's hard to think that even when I lied and cheated He still loved me. I've never seen this relationship in any human being, but I don't need to because Jesus is all I need. For a while I was too confused to even understand what it meant to have a best friend. I have known so many humans that fail others; I couldn't even comprehend what it meant to have a friend who loved me no matter how bad I messed up.
                 It took me a while to give my whole life to Christ. I was stubborn and I thought that I could do everything by myself. For a while I thought I had it made, I thought I had the greatest life and nothing could get in my way. But when little disasters hit I collapsed. I wasn't strong enough to stand on my own. It was almost like my life didn't have any support beams, so I easily crumbled to the ground. Jesus is my support though, I don't need anything else. I don't need to worry about earthly things and now my life has a meaning.

                 I'm very much thankful for joining the Encounter God Retreat in Butuan City. There, I realized that  He’s the first person to ever care about you, and He cares about you more deeply than anyone else ever could. He’s been waiting for you to acknowledge Him, to turn to Him and to thank Him — for He has been faithfully caring for you throughout your whole life; He alone has sustained you. Though other people and forces have sought to exploit you, to undermine you and to steal from you because of greed and a lust for power, God has protected you so that you could hear this message about His goodness and great love – so that you can forever escape the weakness, ignorance and selfishness of this world by running into His arms. He wants to lift you up; up and out of the “lowest common denominator” situation that you may be finding yourself in. Though everyone around you may be devoid of hope, you do not have to “settle”!

                      God’s desire for you is abundant life – like a parent’s sincere desire for their child. Have you ever seen “that look” in your parent’s eyes, when you know that they just want you to be happy, to be successful, to have peace and security in your life? Imagine this same kind of loving goodwill being directed to you from God – but much more powerfully, and with none of the “baggage” or fears that your biological parents are likely to carry with them. Now turn to Him, talk to Him, acknowledge Him; spend some time focusing on God. If you have a Bible, read it.
           
                      Pray and ask God to help you read it, and to lead you to where in the bible He wants you to read – God uses the bible as one means of communicating with us – He can talk through the bible in very specific ways to meet our immediate needs; if the first one or two times you try this nothing special seems to be coming, don’t be discouraged, just try again. It could be that you just need to press into God and ask again.

                       How do I know that God loves us? He proved it to me by pulling my life “out of the pit” as it were. I called out to Him and He answered; He plucked me out of the situation I had found myself in after I called out to Him in prayer, and set my life on a new unshakable path, surrounded me with God-loving people, gave me joy, hope, peace and inner strength. He gave me a family, a job, and even a personal relationship with Himself. He gives me heavenly dreams and visions, special gifts, and unending encouragement.

Life's Treasures

Momentous pictures with my great friends

Promise Never To Untie

The tender words are spoken
Each body and soul bared
Told secrets over endless days
Often doing more than dared

New world beyond my door
With intrigued and intensity
Now we have shared our hearts
A bond now made it permanently

Facing our days made easier
Despite any type of weather
Each other's heart felt deeply
Both happy we stuck together

It took us little time and effort
The bonding as strong as glue
I now promise never to untie
The strings I have tied with you

The understanding of each other
Breaths to take, we breathe the air
As the relationship interchanges
Knowing our loving hearts are there

Now we are never left on the outside
Lovingly enter each other’s domain
Smiling, laughing and forever teasing
But forever friends we then became

A Family That Prays Together, Stays Forever

     Even though its easy to forget at times, family is the most important thing in the world. Have you ever been influenced by some important person that helped you be the person that you are today? I have been. The people that have had influence on me are the most important humans beings, my family. 

      .I could begin the book of my life with a picture of my parents. They are important because they helped in my development. Also, they gave me the things that I needed to grow up in the moment that I needed and they still gave me everything that I needed to become somebody in the future. Among these things is the education that I have received all in my life, my basic needs like food, clothes, medicine, a place to live, and the most important thing, the love. Like for example, by being there when I needed somebody to talk to and giving me speeches when I do something wrong. Also, they care for me when I am sick and they give me the necessary things to get better. They teach me good values like how to behave, to respect other people, and to share with other people. Sometimes they push me in certain directions and have high expectations for me, but now I really appreciate everything they have taught me. I understand why they do certain things and it is because my parents want the best for me. On certain occasions I get mad, but later appreciate their words of wisdom and understand. My parents are wonderful. Now, about my one brother all I can say is that he is wonderful, too. With him I have learned to share, to have fun, and to understand different points of view in different situations. He is older  than me, he said that it doesn't matter because sometimes people think that because they are older they know everything and that is not true, we can learn from those younger than us too. Also I have shared moments in which we laughed, or we get sad, but there are always moments that I will remember 

         Our family is like the branches of a tree. We may grow in different directions, yet our roots remain as one. In a nut shell,thank God for having sent them all of my life.I’m happy with my family as well as makes me always happy.Without them all,my life may not be as it is now.I hope all of my family member happy and successful life and the hereafter.Thanks to my beloved family  because makes me a part of yourself.

             

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Why do we need to know the Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?

• Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs portrays our actions in order to achieve certain needs. This hierarchy suggests that people are motivated to fulfill basic needs before moving on to other, more advanced needs. This theory parallels many other theories of human developmental psychology, some of which focus on describing the stages of growth in humans. As a human, we realized that these are our needs through Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. This theory has been criticized on above grounds; still it holds many advantages or merits. It helps the managers to provide the right financial and non-financial motivation to their employees. This overall helps to increase the efficiency, productivity, and profitability of the organization. 

What are the criticisms of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?

• Some research showed some support for Maslow's theories, most research has not been able to substantiate the idea of a needs hierarchy. Other criticisms of Maslow's theory note that his definition of self-actualization is difficult to test scientifically. His research on self-actualization was also based on a very limited sample of individuals, including people he knew as well as biographies of famous individuals that Maslow believed to be self-actualized, such as Albert Einstein and Eleanor Roosevelt. Regardless of these criticisms, Maslow's hierarchy of needs represents part of an important shift in psychology. Rather than focusing on abnormal behavior and development, Maslow's humanistic psychology was focused on the development of healthy individuals.  

Self-esteem, Inner Confidence, Self Talk

"You are perfect exactly as who you are" this was I realized when I watched the video. It conveys that when you see yourself in a mirror, you will underestimate yourself. You would say you are ugly, you have big eyes, you are old to look at and etc. In that, you will not be able to commit self-esteem and inner confidence in facing other people. You always comparing yourself as lower value of being a human. But, all in all, you don't know that people around you would say you are beautiful, you are perfectly made. You've just say about those things to yourself because you don't trust yourself, you are not proud of yourself. Let us always remember that everyone of us is UNIQUE. God made us creatively of what we are. Let us accept ourselves and be proud of to gain self-esteem, inner confidence and positive self talk.
