Be Thankful For Your Blessings

Often, we take for granted a lot of things in our life. We only appreciate people and things when they're gone. But it shouldn't always be the case. While things are still around, we can show that we're thankful to them. To our family, friends, and other loved ones, we could say our thanks as a sign of our appreciation. Giving gifts is something that we could do too. That's because, in this life, we are happier when we give and receive. It has to be a two-way process. If we can't thank people directly, we could always show our gratefulness through other means. One of the ways we could do that is by paying it forward. Kindness to others often works wonders for the world.


Whatever it is that you received, at some point, be thankful for it. It's not all about getting the good stuff. Be grateful for enduring some troubles in your life too. Because that which does not kill you often makes you stronger and you're a better person now because of the trials that you overcame. Besides, not everyone managed to come out being the finer version of themselves after succeeding over the trials that are similar to what you went through.


Also, we can hope and pray for others to experience good fortune. Good thoughts often transform into great happenings. Believe it or not, this works. Somehow, the world has a way of returning what we give to it. So if you are kind now, people will most likely be kind to you too. Don't expect but know that you've learned about this when it happens.

Never Underestimate Your Opponent

Keep it real. In every fight, whether it's in an official tournament or the streets, you should never underestimate your opponent. At all times, keep your eyes on the person. Be watchful and pay attention to his or her movements. It's only when you time your attacks and defenses wherein you could end up being triumphant. Yet remember that there's the element of luck that plays an integral role too. Since anything could happen, you simply have to be ready to respond favorably. Rise when you fall and dominate when you're winning. Never underestimate your enemy. Set Your Goals Your objective in all combats is to win. It should be that. But, aside from gaining the upper hand, you must also consider incapacitating your opponent. After all, a person may retaliate after being defeated. Still, you need to consider how you're going to prevent your adversary from ever attacking you. It isn't that simple when you're fighting against another human being because humans a

Eating Healthy is In, Fad Diets are Out

When the holidays end, people will start looking for the easiest, fastest, and cheapest diet available. No fat, no rice, gluten-free, sugar-free, and whatever it is Hollywood celebrities endorse. What we fail to realize is that eating healthy is far healthier. The food that we eat acts as fuel for our daily activities. It ensures homeostasis within our bodies, protecting us from sickness and injury. Eliminating carbohydrates causes ketosis, while the lack of protein in your diet causes kwashiokor. Thus, everything should be in moderation, with nothing too much and too little.  A balanced meal is composed of 50% vegetables, 25% protein, and 25% grains. Opt for canola oil, olive oil, and peanuts for your moderate fat needs. Top that with an active lifestyle of at least 30 minutes per day of exercise.  How you eat is also important. Slow down and chew your food well, enjoy every bit of flavor exploding in your mouth. Satisfaction through quality rather than quantity. Food is both a necess

What It's Like on the Outside

               Let me describe to you what I saw when I went out to visit the grocery nearby. The experience was so surreal that I still can't believe the pandemic happened.                Anyway, when I got out of the house to leave the confines of the community, all was well. It's the same old thing: typical houses, nosy neighbors, barking dogs, and stray cats everywhere. Also, unlike before, there are only a few trikes picking up passengers within the village subdivision. (You can't even request for a driver to drop by your place or fetch you somewhere anymore. That's because of the high demand for them.) But it's how it was after passing the boom barrier that bothered me.                In the outdoors, there aren't a lot of people around. Those who are there have face shields and face masks on. Some carry their belongings on their side while others put on knapsacks. When you pass by strangers, they don't even bother to look at you in the eye or have a g
