ONE STATEMENT, MARCH 1-31, 2025
"We can't
convince people to believe in the same way we do; we can only show them that
the way we live is humane, and respect their humanity too."
"Our
moments of weakness and pain can be moments of great learning, and can lead to
greater breakthroughs."
"Let your
faith and good values always be in your carry-on."
"Our
best-laid plans still could not compare with what our Heavenly Father has in
store for those who seek and follow His will."
"Refusing
to accept reality--not acknowledging the call of the times, is rejecting the
chance to become better, and dismissing the chance for a life that could become
greater."
"Because
one who is so full of themselves, who couldn't accept correction and
discipline, who thinks the world revolves around them, and that everyone is
obligated to defer to them and always grant their wishes, who could not respect
other people's opinions, situations and those with more knowledge and
authority, who thinks that they must have more and more each time, and go
higher and ever higher in the social and professional ladder, regardless of
good morals and decent conduct--will lose out on the wisdom and maturity
necessary for a well-rounded life, and will even drive far away and
irrevocably, those who would have helped, supported and guided them in their
journey."
"The mind
secured, settled, and confident does not dwell on what is base or vulgar."
"We are
given time, talent, and treasure, not to lift ourselves up and hold ourselves
higher in regard compared to other people; but to make the Kingdom of God come
alive in our lives, and in the lives of everyone else."
"Words can
mean life and death... We must be careful with ours, if we want to live life
right."
"But if we
remember that our lives are held in the hands of our God and loving Father, we
know that amidst all the stresses and challenges, it will have meaning and
impact, everything will make sense and work out well."
"People
with old and outdated beliefs can't accept that some people can be alone
without being lonely... But the latter's secret is actually joyfulness--not
anchored in the validation of others and significant others, but in the
confidence and assurance that with God's mercy and grace, they are already
enough, complete, blessed and secured as they are; and that life will just
continue on getting better."
"One of
many from the Word's Neuro-Linguistic Programming tools encourages us to look
up in hope; and to remember that after all our difficulties and challenges,
better and greater days await."
"We were
not all made from the same mold; yet, fulfilling our purpose, with the
abilities we were given, is a life that has struck gold."
"Peace is
knowing that even if others don't believe, act, think and live like you do, you
have to respect their person and give them time, space and chance... Much like
being literate and educated doesn't refer to degrees, licenses, or
qualifications; but the ability to listen to every other opinion and story,
without losing your mind, character, conviction, and principles."
"Yes, we
only have one physical life, and it is short... But if we want to survive sane
and in one piece, we must take breaks as much as we can."
"Reading
(physical books), as Sir Francis Bacon said, makes one's life full and
fulfilling... From the greatest book of life, to every other book that teaches
us about humanity, and how to be humane."
"Life on
earth is short... But to make it beautiful, always strive to be humble,
objective, hopeful and good."
"Even the
most devout can be devoid of humanity... May we always be circumspect and tread
carefully."
"One of
the surest proofs of faith, wisdom and maturity is the embrace and nurturing of
diversity."
"Life
demands maturity."
"Just
because someone is silent, doesn't mean we know better than them. Oftentimes,
the ones who are most vocal and seemingly busy are the most shallow; and the
ones who just observe and take things silently and calmly with their eyes and
ears, are the ones we most need to give time to listen to."
"It takes
maturity and wisdom not to take offense immediately. For these might be
situations beneath your level."
"Though
life is sometimes difficult to understand and deal with, may we always remember
that its Giver is also the One who is both the fountain of wisdom and
strength."
"The
misunderstood and rejected will always have a comeback."
"To love
is to listen, to be present and to give time."
"May we
learn from our Saviour's humility, and gentleness."
"Truly, it
judges the thoughts and attitudes of our hearts."
