march 2k13

There were a lot of changes since the last time in everything of what I do. All I can say is, it is better - the best of what I can have right now based on my own standards. God is always watching, God is good. He never really lets us down.

The agile - creative mind in me had rose, straightforwardness and honesty has been put into use, and this time it is being recognized as useful. At least that’s what I believe it is.

I’m so thankful of everything. Looking back, a couple of months ago, I have lost an appetite for a dream, a lifelong plan that is no longer making me inspired. And a countless accomplished things that I don’t even desire. I can’t be in a place being rejected into something that my heart doesn’t even find valuable in the first place.

They say, it is better failing in something you do really want than achieving something you don’t fully desire, but then you'll end up losing it anyway. It’s not worth the pain.

Now, I have something to work hard for, someone to look up to, somewhere I could place myself in the future – letting go of the dead-ends and something to learn my mistakes from. Most of all, I have nothing to complain about.

Feels right, thankful.

something i pondered this month

“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt

life

Dear Life,



Thank you for being missed for awhile. It happened for me to see the good side of everything. It’s not like I’m always used to have the things that I want before. But today, I’m more accurate to weigh the differences of my needs and wants. Now I know I am very blessed in every areas of my life. And it’s just getting better.

Today, I can say I’m getting back on track. I may still have no idea about you, but I’m already in you. Whether you’re in a wheel, I’m not for an upheld superficiality. I will always keep my toes in the ground, I will always live you, not to be an entertainment for others, because you are simply serene, content, alive and most of all REAL.

Talking about personal accomplishments is not my thing. I’ll deliver to others to see the whole truth and bring both sides of the coin.

Being an inspiration is a proof of your endless possibility. What is an inspiration without the downtime it has been through.



Love,

D

dopamine

I’ve read yesterday about the mind functions on how this kind of substance in our brain can affect our mood, motivation and decisions.

Dopamine naturally produced by your brain makes you feel good. You get a rush of dopamine in response to pleasurable activities. On the other hand, without enough dopamine, you may feel sluggish, depressed and uninterested in life. http://www.wikihow.com/Increase-Dopamine

Ever feel emotionally down for no reason? Then, trying your best to know why, by being alone so that you could focus more to what is it all about? Haha. It has also been said that dopamine can also be a big part of a person’s direction in life.

The more times you succeed at something, the longer your brain stores the information that will allow you to do well. That’s because with each success, our brain releases dopamine. When dopamine flows into the brain's reward pathway (the part responsible for pleasure, learning and motivation), we not only feel greater concentration but are inspired to re-experience the activity that caused the chemical release in the first place. http://ph.she.yahoo.com/why-brains-short-term-goals-150000141.html

I wonder what are the things left that most people haven’t know yet, that is actually very important to be included in our general knowledge. I mean, what if all along the humanity isn’t aware in any of this sneaky mind functions that are beyond what we can feel and imagine.

It's like finding out about your birth chart. What if you're a believer of the interpretation of it, but doesn’t really making any sense at all, because there are planets that hasn't been discovered yet. OR;
If you are not a believer of any god and disregards those who do; possibly, someday it will be proven by reason or science in the future. 

widespread acceptance of an idea is not a proof of its validity - D.B

The humanity’s judgement, OUR OWN opinions about other people, beliefs, religion, culture and differences might always just be temporary. 

Whichever kind of reason and rationalizations that agrees with science and latest facts that all of us will have to say, won’t actually be proven/DEFINITE unless everything has all been figured out; which I think will never happen.

No one actually knows best, who's being deceived and who's not regarding diversity. Our safest choice is to be OPEN.

Dopamine is just some of the things in nature that had gave the answer on one mystery of the universe, that the past generation isn’t lucky enough like us to know.

I believe that the world had accomplished a lot since it began... But yet, it’s young; people  are too early (AND always will be) to settle AND CLOSE towards a single belief in a course of a lifetime.

New Year 2013

These were some of the thoughts that I remember I had during the span of 2012. It can be from a prayer, conversations, realizations or maybe anything I just heard somewhere that agrees with my own reason.  

And all of these, can always remind me that at some point: 

I had precisely known myself better. 

I can be aware on how others could possibly feel by avoiding something I have experienced before.

I can be stronger and empowered on my own.

• Progress basically starts with the cultivation of your own backbone.
• As long as I can walk on my own I could possibly go wherever I like.
• Explaining why you’re right, doesn’t mean you have to argue; and if you argue doesn't mean it will end up right.

• "Cut the BS and get to the damn point.", "Too much introduction"
• We’re human, anyone can be mean, liar, insensitive. But I'm not one of those who feels the need to be proud of it.
• The need to finalize the end of a bad relationship isn't necessary.

• The worst thing you can do to someone you barely even know is to underestimate their motivations.
• Sucks bigtime when you best believe you thought you've found something worth it.
• Bless me with discomfort so that I shall continue to aspire to higher places.

• Nothing ticks me off more than someone who thinks they are more important than everyone else. (and makes me think I'm reasonable enough to make the move to that person, to give back what everybody had felt from him/her... combined)
• I can ignore you so hard you will begin to doubt your own existence.
• Half the time I agree with people so they'll shut up.
• I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand. And I do understand everyone has the same birth right.

• Can't you see? I warned you. If you take my advice rightly, it's not my gain. taking it wrong isn't my lost either but.. finding it out by yourself is the price to pay.
• Give me your heart make it real or else forget about it. (Smooth - Santana, Rob Thomas) 

• A ship in harbor is safe - but that is not what ships are for.  - John A. Shedd, Salt from My Attic  
• Nothing will ever be attempted, if all possible objections must be first overcome. -  Samuel Johnson, Rasselas, 1759
