It took a long while for me to think of the best over-all concept for this blog. I had been painstakingly considering some topics that would best interest the readers but I failed several times. Maybe because I was becoming too perfectionist that I forgot the real deal which is my real intention for creating this on the net. At first, of course since this is my first time to launch a blog, I was too ecstatic that I considered having a profound topic, spending hours on the net and on the biggest bookstore in town just to find something reflective. I had my butt and my feet calloused and my eyes run out of good vision, just to find the best and excellently distinctive concept which can "put my site on the pedestal".
Running out of ideas, energy and money, I stayed in the privacy of my room. Just when I was in the verge of giving up, I asked myself what my real reason was for creating my own blog. Is that merely to tell the whole world how good I am? I felt suddenly rebuked by my own thoughts. There should be a reason much deeper than that. Making the best impression to others is nothing but superficiality, the happiness it will create will expire so quickly since the intention was not sincere in the first place. Who am I anyway? There's a lot out there who are better than me. I am not demeaning myself now. I have come to realize that people naturally want to brag about themselves that they do not even think that they are mere annoyance, instead of an inspiration.
Yes, inspiration... Millions and millions of people are in poverty, in great mishaps... however, there are some people who think of themselves, their ego, their pride (just like me, a few hours ago). People who are in desperate situations whether physically, emotionally, financially, spiritually, or in any other way, need to have this sweet nudge to remind them that life will become even more bitter for them if they will just bury their heads on the ground, without seeing the brighter side of life.
Maybe, you, yes YOU... maybe you are one of them. Come on! Try to cheer up! Open up eyes a little more. Negative self-talk gives no answer to your problems. My life is not perfect as well, for I too, am struggling. I ain't a superhero, the way that you're not. Or like Frosty the Snowman who feels nothing (I suppose...). But I can inspire you to look for those little ways to make your day positive just like what I would like to do to mine.
Whoah! For a few days, I have searched high and low for a good topic, but the answer as I realized is just within within me. Let me share the Bible verse that's quietly scribed in my organizer: (Proverbs 16:3) "Commit to the Lord, whatever you do and your plans will succeed."
I think that says it all... (Welcome to my blog!!!)
Haha!
