Ending

-
They say the hardest part is starting something new, but lately I realize that coming to an end is just as difficult. Many things happened without us knowing that something is actually beginning, we enjoy it, we cherish it, and we think it would last. But not all happy beginnings last. Most need to end, and often we see the ending coming.

This is not just true for relationships, but for almost everything we do in life. We start a journey and we look forward to the encounters we’ll make. But soon after that, we have to finish the journey, and although we do not want it to end, we have to.

The biggest struggle perhaps is starting something new with so much enthusiasm, only to lose that level of excitement towards the end. With the challenges presented, we tend to retreat, asking ourselves why we are there in the first place. I guess the enemy of doing something and having the strength to finish what we have started is forgetting our purpose. Why we’re there in the first place. We start with a clear vision of what we want but towards the end, we ask if it is all worth it.

I guess one of the very reasons why many of us stop the journey is because of fear of failure. What if all our efforts will go down the drain? But isn’t that what happens when we give up before even trying to finish. When we accept failure even before completing the battle, aren’t we accepting defeat without giving a fight?


Ending is not something we should dread, it is something we need to look forward to. This is because all endings mean we have completed something worthwhile and they present a promise of a new beginning.

A REFLECTION PAPER ON METAPHYSICS

-
A single idea cannot encapsulate the way the world is…. What is the true reality? Can we find answer to the real sense of the world by finding the ultimate individual? Or is it in the external world apart from us that could be brought by our sensations and addressed by a supreme mind? Is it in the realization that we are in a continuous movement of time? Or is it in the thesis that what is true to us could actually be false? IIrwagen’s book presented some very intriguing points for someone who does not think like he does. I don’t think like he does. In fact, as I was reading his work, I was asking myself if there is actually a point of reading his book. His book, Metaphysics, talked about what ultimate reality is and if our world is actually the real world. So what then if the world we live in is not as real as most of the population deems it to be? Would it change the fact that our basic needs are food, water and shelter? Are we going to forego our ambition

Why You Need to Take it Easy on Yourself?

How many times have you blamed yourself for things gone wrong? Plans going south? And goals remaining unmet? Often, you see yourself at a standstill, feeling like you are not getting anywhere in life. Yes, it is often disappointing to see how much you have given and yet you are still far off from your dreams. In fact, you will often feel that what you want are moving away from you, and perhaps, they are not meant for you. But these thoughts are just that, thoughts, they are not your reality, so get easy on yourself. What you feel is valid, but it is temporary: All of us feel that way sometimes, and it is important to recognize those feelings. However, we cannot dwell on them for long because if we do, we will fail to recognize all the good things that happened to us. We would miss the chance of enjoying our little victories. Although it does not feel good to see our plans shatter, remember that those are just hiccups. You can only stare at the broken glass for so long, b

Reliving Notting Hill

I am a hopeless romantic. Let’s have that out of the way before you continue reading this blog. If you have read my blog about Aiza’s rendition of I Won’t Hold You Back , this is sort of the epilogue, the blogs are not really related but the song led me to look for Anna Scott’s (Julia Roberts) famous line, “I’m also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.” Ouch… Well, let’s not be unfair to William Thacker (Hugh Grant). He is an unbelievably nice guy, who does not seem to get mad at the movie - considering what he’s been through. He had his heart broken by the same girl 3 times in the movie, I believe. Let’s take a look at the story first. It is not your typical love story, somewhat predictable but very interesting. It does not happen all the time as well. I mean, come on, what are the odds of John Lloyd Cruz eating at my store, spilling his shirt with a drink and offering him our house so he could change? Hmmmm.. well now that I think about i
