A Simple Prayer

This is a simple prayer for all of us who see a wide gap between what we have and what we want.

That we may all see that the gap is never too wide and we must never stop rethinking that this is the truth.

Not just the truth because it’s a way for us to feel better, it’s the truth because it sets us free from the perspective that we can’t reach our dreams.

We may not reach it now, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not in months.

But we will. We surely will. As long as we never stop thinking that we can.

As long as we never stop acting that we can.

Gwapo Naman Ako, Bakit Wala Parin Akong Girlfriend? (Why Do Some Good Looking People Have A Hard Time Looking For A Partner)

I was listening to my favorite morning radio program on my way to work and they were talking about why do some good looking successful people have a hard time looking for a partner. They were discussing that we are all inclined to think that if someone is good looking or successful in their career or  famous in their chosen field, looking for a partner is the least thing they should worry about. Well, my favorite radio jocks were telling that it isn’t true and I agree.

I’m sharing these thoughts not because I’m good looking or successful in any way and also not because I’m looking for a partner. I’m sharing these thoughts because I believe that people look for something deeper than the looks and the success of someone they want to be with. Maybe it’s a factor but it’s just a spec in the spectrum of factors that attract one person to another.

It is also as good as saying that it’s the beauty inside that counts. I really believe in this. As in. Our outside appearance and public achievements are just like the icing of a cake. Some people only like the icing but what’s the use of the icing if there’s no cake to put it on to right? And if you ask me, the cake will always be richer in flavor than the icing. You would want more flavor right?

In a less serious note, I believe that by default, everyone is attractive. It just depends on who we want to see us as attractive. We may be the most handsome guy or girl in someone’s eyes but our eyes are locked on someone else. Or we could be the perfect partner for someone but we believe that our perfect partner is that person who doesn’t even know we exist.

Well, that’s life, full of contradictions. But it doesn’t mean you got to succumb to it. Go on and clean the lens wherein you see your world. Be confident of who you are. Build and improve yourself into that someone you always wanted to be. Don’t settle for anything less than what you intend and will achieve.

Wow, such heavy words for a blog with a title like this
