YOUR NEXT STEP: INNER PEACE

YOUR NEXT STEP: INNER PEACE

MAY 11, 2015

“REMEMBER DRAGON WARRIOR, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WHEN YOU HAVE INNER PEACE.” MASTER SHIFU SAID TO PO (KUNG FU PANDA).

I DO BELIEVE THAT HAVING INNER PEACE IS ONE KEY TO BE SUCCESFUL IN LET. BUT LET ME FIRST DEFINE WHAT THE INNER PEACE IS. INNER PEACE REFERS TO A STATE OF BEING MENTALLY AND SPIRITUALLY AT PEACE, WITH SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING TO KEEP ONESELF TO BE STRONG IN THE FACE OF FRICTION OR STRESS. PEACE OF MIND IS GENERALLYI ASSOCIATED WITH HARMONY, HAPPINESS AND CONTENTMENT.

My LET Journey 2015

IN MY LET JOURNEY, I CAN SAY THAT IT IS A VERY THOUGH AND ROUGH COMPETITION WITH MYSELF: FAIL, PASS OR TOP. MANY CHANCES ARE I AM NOT BEING CALM AND NOT PEACE DURING THE PAST FEW DAYS OF MY LET. MY LET PREPARATION ACTUALLY STARTED WHEN I WAS A VOLUNTEER TEACHER IN BAGAC, BATAAN. I SPENT MY FREE TIME WITH THE NATURE BESIDE THE BEAUTIFUL SEA AND READING BOOKS UNDER THE TREE AND IT MADE ME CALM AND COOL. WHEN I WAS IN MINDGYM MY LEARNING WAS INCREASED, MY DRILLS TEND TO BECOME LOW AND HIGH. ACTUALLY, I’M VERY INTERESTED WITH MY BATCHMATE 2 (DEBATERS: CALLED OF OUR COACHES IN MY BATCH) I LEARNED FROM THEM. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I’VE HAVE REALIZED? SOMETIMES WE ARE TOO CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT WAS AND WHAT WILL BE. REMEMBER WHAT MASTER OOGWAY SAID: YESTERDAY IS A HISTORY, TOMORROW IS A MYSTERY, BUT TODAY IS A GIFT THAT’S WHY IT IS CALLED PRESENT.

THE WAIT WAS AGONIZING, BUT EVENTUALLY AFTER LET ITS FOUND RELAXING. SO NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, GIVE YOUR BEST AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF BECAUSE THERE ARE NO SECRET INGREDIENTS TO BECOME SPECIAL - IT IS ONLY “YOU” TO MAKE SOMETHING SPECIAL. YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIVE IT’S SPECIAL.  NOW YOU MUST CONTINUE YOUR JOURNEY, DAWN IS COMING AND OPEN YOUR EYES, OUR WORLD IS WAITING… nO MORE EXCUSES, OK? LET IS YOURS, OWN IT! FULFILL YOUR DESTINY LETTERS’.
