Sharing Thoughts

Let me share with you a comment I recevied via email from one of the readers of my blog... And I have to post it, because there are lots of things from what he said that people tend to forget...

Thank you so much for sharing "yourself" via blog.

This much I can say, happiness will always be internal. Material things, physical connections, events and places may add to happiness but only on temporary basis. Happiness to me is that state of inner peace. One can achieve this by being honest to one's self...accepting our talents, strong po package...ints and weaknesses. We will never be perfect...yes, we can always improve (that's why we meet people who unbeknownst to us are mentors of our Life - starting with our parents, siblings, friends, etc)...but we will never be perfect. If we can accept this, we are on the right lane to happiness.

We must love ourself for what we are, and then...if we meet the "right" person it will be easy to share ourself. I think in a relationship, we share ourself...not give ourself. It should be a shared journey...two people with their identity intact. I don't believe in a relationship where two people become ONE. Each one should add to the relatioship because of their uniqueness...not because one wants the other to be someone who is not. One should love the other as a complete

Okay, this is a bit too much unsolicited opinion.

Personally, I look at people from the inside out rather than outside in.
I am financially stable, I have condo in the Malate area, I've traveled in many parts of the world and not bad looking...but these are just trappings. I am very trusting to people because I am honest. Although people have taken advantage of my generosity or kindness...I never diverted from being honest (to myself and others). Because I firmly believe that I am what I am now because of all the people I've met in my life thus far. Even those who just "used" me are still part part of the whole...so I have no regrets.

Edith Piaf at old age married someone very good looking in his twenties. Obviously the boy married for material reasons...but Edith summed it all up "non regrette rien" I REGRET NOTHING!

What a life!

I hope you would be enriched in your journey!


Thanks... I realized a lot about relationships with what you have shared....
