greatness

March 21, 2009

 

Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. - Shakespeare (1565 - 1616) Twelfth Night, II, v, 156

I am often ashamed of sharing my thoughts and feelings to others, most especially considering the fact that I am insecure of my self. I never liked the limelight. I am plainly satisfied with how I come to touch the lives of the people I love in my small ways. But then it came to a point that I am so overwhelmed by information and emotion that I can’t bear them all anymore. I am a self-confessed newbie in the art of expression and communication. But when the going gets tough, I have given up the fight and found ways just to release it all, accept my fate of having greatness thrust upon my feet, and there I found my sanctuary, i.e., blogging. 

But life offered greater surprises than that which I can only expect and wonder, I found friends with whom I am continuously learning a new life’s perspective outside my confined box, my flaws and insecurities. May bonus pa, they’ve shared with me an award, which they too are holding high and proud in the blogosphere. 

1. AC - with you I found courage to not be ashamed to speak. You are the living epitomy of someone who proudly exercises the right to freedom of speech and expression. 

2. Nortehanon - with you I found passion in life. I have always considered life as generally beautiful but never did I lived up to my word, your zest in life rubbed unto my shoulders to which I am very thankful for.

3. Soulful - with you I found out wisdom is earned well in due time. You are weak yet unbowed as you continue to stick with your decisions.

4. Duchess - with you I found out that love conquers all. With love you can move mountains and swimthrough oceans. Because where there is love there is always happiness. 

5. Rjil - with you I found hope and faith and ofcourse the benefit of the doubt. That although I can only see one side of the mirror, there are always two faces in every mirror. 

6. Kellie - with you I found simplicity and truthfullness.  Everything should be concise and clear, it’s always best understood that way.

7. Mikhaela - with you I found a great journey in literature. Traversing your mind makes me a not so lost wanderer anymore. 

Despite the busy days as a law student working fulltime as a paralegal with a gazillion extra-curricular activities, you never cease to make my days complete. Thank you for the award. This is for all of us.

-Thanks, shortie. :) Your words inspired me to accept myself for what I really am. Better, it encouraged me to be brave in facing reality.

As I’ve said before, I am very grateful to find people like you in this faceless world that we are in.

I am very lucky. :)

Awwww thanks HB, that really means a lot to me. Im glad i’m able to share my passion for literature with you. It’s quite difficult for people to appreciate what books have within them… Thankfully I stumbled on your page that day… It was that blog about the old man on the lrt, i think, which got to me… thanks for your sharing your thoughts too..

@kellie: acceptance and love of oneself is oftentimes taken forgranted by most of us, that we rarely consider it’s true significance. at the end of the day, all we’ve got is ourselves to love and respect. the beginning of great things is always from within. it is not easy to be brave, true. everyone of us have our own sets of fears but that didn’t stop some to achieve greatness despite the trials and doubt of oneself. it’s always easier said than done but we just have to start somewhere… somehow… like now, to have things moving.
i consider my self more than just lucky, i am blessed to have found you.
(ops, bawal dumugo ang ilong…)

@mikhaela: you’re most welcome. actually the pleasure is all mine because truly i am learning a lot from you. kahit pa you add up my reading list of law materials. it’s all worth it.

sigh that old man on the lrt, never will i forget that day.

how odd actually, whenever i am in doubt of a decision i have to make, some stranger just pops into my life out of nowhere telling me things i needed to hear. have you had those moments? some people call them signs but i for me they’re more than that. they are like clues to the unknown future which really depends on the decision i’ll be making.

@kellie & mikhaela: *hugs for both of you* and another award for being early birds. Hehe

– awwww.. touched naman ako. thank you. i hope i continue to inspire you in some ways. i am truly honored to be given this praise.

and always remember, it’s better to express what your true feelings are.. than think about what might have been all the time.

pero sometimes din naman meron ibang bagay na hindi nasasabi, hindi dahil sa hindi mo kaya.. pero dahil sa tinatawag na respeto.. may mga bagay kase na nakakasakit ng damdamin ng iba. kaya yun na lang ang ingatan mo.

keep up the good work. goodluck on your studies. :)

awwwwwww…how sweet naman…

Thank you, Erica. If I have inspired you, even just a little, then I consider myself an accomplished blogger.

Keep dreaming, my dear. Never give up. Dream your dream. Dream some more dreams. You’ll eventually realize that you can accomplish things you thought were not possible.

I wish you luck, and I am always keeping you in my prayers.

Thanks dearie. Just one word, FAITH. Faith in yourself, faith in other people that they can understand and see what you might not want them to see, and most of all faith in Him who never fails to leave us for whatever.

Godbless! :)

hey thanks! touched ako dun sa sinabi mo. don’t worry girl we’re all together in this fight for happiness. someday we’ll be wise enough to know in our hearts that what we’re looking for is within ourselves all along.

There is no greater sorrow than to recall, in misery, the time when we were happy.
