What is the soundtrack of your life?

Sorry but I feel the need to explain why I chose this song :)) This has been the soundtrack of my life since God knows when. Every line from this song speaks for me. The way I feel. The things I've been through and still going through and how I face them gracefully. Remember, no matter what we do, other people will always say something to us and oftentimes will pull us down but at the end of the day, we must realize that what matters most is how we see ourselves because only YOU know who you really are . Thank you so much !

Sapatos.

Naaalala ko noong nagpunta kami sa mall para bumili ng isang pares ng sapatos. Sa tinagal-tagal ng pamimili ko, nahirapan talaga akong mamili ng sapatos na gusto ko talaga. Hanggang sa may nakita na nga akong sapatos na nakaagaw ng pansin ko.

Maganda. Mukhang matibay. Japorms.

Dali-dali kong pinuntahan yon at kinuha. Makalipas ang ilang sandali, sinubukan ko nang isukat yon. Nung isinusukat ko na, masikip, maliit, at masakit sa paa. Sinubukan kong pilit na pagkasyahin sa akin dahil yun ang sapatos na gusto ko talaga.

Sa pagpupumilit kong pagkasyahin ang sapatos na yon ay napagod rin ako. Hanggang sa narealize ko ang isang bagay:

Matuto tayong makuntento.

“Marami pang iba sa paligid ang hindi natin napapansin. Nagbubulag-bulagan lang tayo sa mga bagay na akala natin ay maganda. Huwag nating ipilit ang mga bagay na hindi nilikha para sa atin. Yun kasi kadalasan ang dahilan kung bakit tayo nasasaktan.”

A LITTLE STORY TO PONDER..

TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING
THROUGH THE DESERT..
DURING SOME POINT OF THE
JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN
ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND
SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE
IN THE FACE..

THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED
WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT
SAYING ANYTHING,
WROTE IN THE SAND:

“TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE..”

THEY KEPT ON WALKING,
UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS,
WHERE THEY DECIDED
TO TAKE A BATH..

THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN
SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE
MIRE! AND STARTED DROWNING,
BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM.

AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM
THE NEAR DROWNING,
HE WROTE ON A STONE:

”TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SAVED MY LIFE”

THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED
AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND
ASKED HIM:

”AFTER I HURT YOU,
YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW,
YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?”

THE FRIEND REPLIED:

”WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US
WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN
IN SAND, WHERE WINDS OF
FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY.

BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES
SOMETHING GOOD FOR US,
WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE
WHERE NO WIND
CAN EVER ERASE IT”

..LEARN TO WRITE
YOUR HURTS IN
THE SAND AND TO
CARVE YOUR
BENEFITS IN STONE.

THEY SAY IT TAKES A
MINUTE TO FIND A SPECIAL
PERSON, AN HOUR TO
APPRECIATE THEM

A DAY
TO LOVE THEM, BUT THEN
AN ENTIRE LIFE
TO FORGET THEM.
