All the Small Things... PART 2

We are only limited to what the mind can conceive. In order words, anything is possible in our lives. Whether change or revolution in the individual or in the bigger context only means we can achieve anything.

This means that as far as I am concerned, I can manifest in my being the importance of being an example and beacon of light to others. I should walk the talk and breathe life into what I preach.

The light is simple. I can make a difference. So can you. The only difference is the time when you will appreciate it and let it manifest in your life. The first step is to self-realize the aspect and dimension of making a change. That change of course should be positive. A positive change towards positive actions that would give us positive results.

The time is now. Not tomorrow, not later not tonight! The time is now.

All The Small Things... PART 1

What is to be a citizen? What is to be a Filipino? Most of us would not even bother to think about the answer to this questions for various reasons. Some deem it as totally irrelevant but some plainly just cannot appreciate the right context when we talk about being a citizen.

For me, the simple answer is that it's the small things that count. We do not become good citizens by sacrificing our lives for the grandest of ideals. We simply must acknowledge that we can make a difference. After this first step, we can move on to deciding where and how we can contribute.

It is our natural birth right to be citizens of this nation. We were Filipino first before we were able to utter our first words or take our first footsteps. We were Filipino first even before we knew the word Filipino--- way before we could spell the word citizen.

There is no struggle in doing what you are ought to do with excellence. Be it studying in a university preparing to be good leaders in the future or as simple as a market vendor selling their goods at the right prices.

Unless we see being a citizen a natural manner of the universe to unfold us in "becoming"--- that is the only time we will "become."
