We Really Don’t Have Control

As I was listening to a podcast while driving a couple of months ago, I heard this; the number one reason why people are stressed is because we always try to be in control. This resonated with me a lot because if you really think about it, at any point in time a lot of things could have happened and either our expected result did or didn’t happen, the only thing we have is the…

I almost got into an accident…

Yesterday, after doing some errands, I was reversing our car to our garage when I realized that I was reversing the wrong way. I panicked and stepped on the gas rather than the break. I accelerated backward so fast that the first thing my mind thought about was the worst thing that can happen, the garage and the car broken. Luckily, I got into my senses and stepped on the brake when the car was…

“Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the Lord will be joyful.” – Psalm 16:20

With all of the things happening today, some of us might find it hard to experience happiness, much more joy. But I encourage you to still trust the Lord. I remember Bro. Bo Sanchez in his talk said that whenever you have questions and you don’t understand what’s happening, tell yourself, I am not called to understand, I am called to follow. This stuck with me and whatever is happening in my life whether it’s…

Happiness Tip #1 – Time Management

Decide what time of the day you will start a certain activity(for example, work)2. Decide what time of the day you will end a certain activity3. Do your best to stick to them. Nowadays, since most of us have the luxury of "time" given the…
