Stress is Contagious

WARNING:  What you are about to read will awaken your thoughts about stress.

Last week, I intentionally did not go for work.  The reason?  I was starting to feel that stress is starting to enter my core and I don't want that.

If you want to find a place where Stress is very present, most of you will agree with me that you go to work.  There are some workplaces that are great because of better management and suppressed stress.  True that stress will always be present but it's up to us to let it grow or not.

How do you minimize stress?  Get out of the situation like what I did last week.  Stress will never bring you good.  Chill out, relax, and enjoy life.  Get rid of Stress!

Have you every thought of being FREE?

Today is Friday and all I am thinking of is FREEDOM.

Free from may routine job, free from too much pressure from others, free from going home tired because of doing things that I don't love.  I want to be free.  But when will I be free?  I set three years, MAX.  I will make things happen.  I want to become a full time dad and a full time freelancer, doing things that I do love.  Yes, three years will bring me somewhere.

Friday for some is translated as FREEDAY.  It is the last day of the week and that means, the following day is a weekend with friends, family, and with anyone you don't know.  Friday is Freeday...freedom and being free.  But in the case of some people, Friday is not significant anymore.  I remember a friend telling me of somebody he know.  That guy rarely know what day it is because of being too busy.  In my case, sometimes true, but will not be anymore in three years time.  My Fridays will be my freedom days soon.

Can somebody make you happy?

In John Maxwell's book, Today Matters, his wife was asked if John makes her happy. She responded, No. Everybody was shocked.

Can somebody make you happy? I believe, John's wife is right. It's nobody's business to make you happy. For example, Maria and Mario are twins born 7th of February. Both are healthy and happy. Maria really really loves Barbie Dolls while Mario really really loves Pokemon dolls. One day, their parents brought them in a toy store for being the top students of their classes. Their parents knew what they wanted so they asked the salesperson, "Do you have Barbie dolls and Pokemon dolls?" The salesperson replied, "Sorry Ma'am and Sir, but we only have Barbie dolls right now." Who do you think will be happy that day? Yes, it will be Maria. If you give Mario a Barbie doll, how do you think would he react?

Same Barbie doll, but different reactions for Maria and Mario. My friends, it's nobody's business to make you happy. The only person responsible for your happiness is You. You are happy because you said so. Be truly happy.

Best regards from your happy friend,

My True Friends....

You will know who your really friends are when you are down and you share same visions.

I have lots of friends but I have few from the pack who are real friends. They are the ones who can let you down, yet ask forgiveness and give efforts to be a better friend. It's sometimes sad to think that some people you consider real friends are acquaintances but it's great to know that some acquaintances are your real friends.

It's sad to think sometimes that no matter how you wanted them to bring them to success, they will reject it. Before, that rejection was a big thing to me. I'm glad that a friend of mine reminded me that some will reject your offer, but they are rejecting the offer, not you. True.
