Bonne année et bonne santé
Welcoming the new year is like letting in a stranger in your house (well, for us FIlipinos as we are known to be so hospitable)....
We have welcomed the new year with a grandiose celebration. But are we really ready for this year....
Let me just share the homily during the new year's eve mass...
This new year is like a journey...
(most aptly put as everyone needs to walk this path with no exemption in this world)
Rules to live by as we journey through this year...
1. Travel LIGHT
We need material things but oftentimes, these slow us down. We become incensitive to others' feelings and we get easily overwhelmed with the power/richness of our worldly posssessions. Poeple tend to develop negative attitudes such as greed and agrression
We also need to get rid off our emotional baggages. These are negative vibes that could come between you and whoever your holding grudge to. More often than not, if we continue to carry these, we might intentionally or unintentionally dump these to our love ones and to people around us ,.... which will create another chaos and would pile sky high inside us ---- that would eventually crash us. We need to dump these things and altogether forget them.
2. Travel with HOPE
How could we move forward if we plunge into despair thoughts or feelings? HOPE will help us assuage the emptinesss we feel...we could enjoy the pace of our everyday lives and we try to strive to be good.
3..Travel with JOY
Life if worth living. Happy disposition is not something that just happens... YOU let it happen :-)
