Wellness Tip: End the Suffering. Simplify to get what you need for time is running out to enjoy it!

Human needs are complex. It goes beyond the food we eat, the clothes we wear, and the roof in our head. Humans are particular with social standing. The dignity of living. The enjoyment of the sensual life. The accumulation of material gains that defines human existence. The equality of rights, the seeking of justice, the perfection of human form in speech, action, words, choices, etc. The human culture is a never ending quest for what goes beyond what the eyes can see. Thus, if we sum up everything human desires are endless. So how do we get exactly what we need at a particular time in the least possible time and as much as possible the soonest. How do we get what we need now?!

The answer is to simplify. Itemize what you need in a scale of 1-10. Prioritize accordingly on what will make you suffer less and achieve your satisfaction. Jot down your golden virtues and pick one that you will hold as your torch to pursue in getting what you need. The golden virtues are the words given to us through our prayers that guides us in dealing life's pressures everyday. Once you hold at least one golden virtue and take it as your light, you will not get frustrated in getting what you need.

So simplify. What do you need now? Scale of 1-10. Prioritize. Pray for the virtue to hold you. Pursue. Pray for Guidance all throughout.

To prioritize is kinda' complicated if the object you wnat to purse is not a thing but a fellow human. So you ask and draw the line. Lay down your questions to the person and let the person know your thoughts so the person can understand what you mean. Thus, giving him/her the justice to respond to your needs honestly. Do not assume that things are not possible. ASK. Not until there is a dialogue betwen the two of you, then you cannot conclude if what you need is achievable or not. Do not make false judgement because you never know if the person is actually the gift to make your needs possible. Sometimes, we fail to see that the person that is always in our head is actually our angel. Be brave, talk and make a dialogue. Remember even if your meeting is just short, but it already got you, then probably destiny gave you the chance to work things out again in this lifetime. Don't let this moment pass you by again. Grab it while there is time and while nature is favoring your side. Believe, sometimes the solution to our suffering is just a phone call away.

My passion to live the beauty of life goes where my heart is for "heart cannot be seperated from fire or beauty from the eternal"

I am a very passionate person. I feel the situation so close. There are no boundaries to me. Distance does not keep me from loving, neither conflict of personalities. I give in to the motion of emotion. To love is to forget to think but just to let love take its course.... freely, without reservation, without standards, without thinking what lies ahead at the end of the line.

This I've learned as I coursed through my journey of being attuned to myself and to the people I really care about. But mind you, this whole thing of loving freely is alien to me way back then. Then, when I was always angry because people doesn't put up to my standards. Then, way back, I think too much. So I forgot to love. Commitment to me then entails the same commitment to the people I hold my commitment. I stay because they stay. I love because they love. And the whole thing makes me happy? No, it didn't!

What I've learned in the course of my life journey is this. You know you really love when you don't care! Not that you don't care anymore to the people you love but you don't care anymore who they are, what they are, what they do, who are they with, what does it take, etc. I've realized that "real" love is liberating. Love is when you are free! To be free is to love! It is the freedom from the bondage of what other people think, on what others will say, on what the future holds. What matters is just the importance and significance of the feeling of loving at a certain moment and time for no one knows what will really happen next. I wish to live the beauty of life and I can only live it fully when I'm free! And I can only be free when I let myself love freely!

Sounds really ideal. And I guess, few will agree with me, especially when one tries to protect his/her status quo. Loving is risk, and risk is everything. Loving is the alternative choice to fighting. Loving instead of hating. Love instead of War. The choice is ours, but both has its effects. War is death and Love is life. If we end, we let death take its victory. If we pursue, we let life have its way...

If we love, we let go of the control and we let love take its control... until we are ready to go where nature will lead us. We feel every moment of it, near or far, wherever we are, we live, we breath, we feel, and we let our heart live freely
