This series made us realize how important it is to make the right decisions in life.

The longevity of a relationship often depends on the woman, as men tend to be influenced by the women they are attracted to. However, jealousy can lead them to make poor decisions or mistakes.

As a woman, you need to be strong and have a broad understanding of situations. If influenced by the wrong people, it can cause serious problems. Often, pride becomes a barrier to reconciliation rather than talking things out, some choose to avoid the situation, causing misunderstandings to grow.

In the end, the stability of a family depends on the wife's ability to nurture and uphold the foundation of their relationship, ensuring the family's strength and unity.

8 lessons from The Art of Being Alone by Renuka Gavrani:

1. Embrace Solitude as Self-Care
Gavrani emphasizes that solitude should be viewed as an essential form of self-care. Being alone allows for emotional and mental recharge, leading to a deeper understanding of oneself and fostering personal growth.

2. Build a Strong Relationship with Yourself
Learning to enjoy your own company is vital. The book encourages readers to cultivate a strong, compassionate relationship with themselves, which lays the foundation for healthier relationships with others.

3. Silence as a Tool for Reflection
Silence is powerful in helping us listen to our inner voice. Gavrani suggests that by embracing silence, we open ourselves up to introspection and a clearer understanding of our thoughts and emotions.

4. Aloneness vs. Loneliness
Gavrani distinguishes between being alone and feeling lonely. Aloneness is a conscious choice for self-discovery and peace, while loneliness stems from a lack of connection. By appreciating time alone, we can reduce feelings of loneliness.

5. Use Alone Time for Creativity and Productivity
Solitude can be a productive space for creativity. Without distractions, you can focus on creative pursuits, hobbies, or self-improvement, finding inspiration in stillness.

6. Set Boundaries for Social Interactions
The book emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries in relationships to protect your energy. Gavrani encourages readers to balance social engagements with moments of solitude to maintain emotional well-being.

7. Find Joy in Simple Activities
Gavrani highlights the importance of finding joy in small, simple activities when alone, such as reading, walking, or journaling. These activities can bring peace and contentment without the need for external validation.

8. Develop Emotional Independence
One of the key lessons is to cultivate emotional independence. The book stresses that you don’t need to rely on others for happiness. By being emotionally self-reliant, you build resilience and inner strength.

Vice: Alam mo, tuwing may discussion about love and relationship, I always use your story. Lalo na pag ginagawang issue ‘yung kung gaano katagal ba dapat nagliligawan, gaano ba kayo dapat katagal magkakilala. Lagi kong sinasabi, hindi natin talaga masasabi kasi nga si Aga at Charlene, ‘nung kinuwento niya sa GGV, hindi sila nagligawan. Hindi sila naging boyfriend/girlfriend. He felt at that time he wanted to marry Charlene, and they did.

Aga: And the most surprising part there was she said yes kasi parang, ang lalaki, pwede kang mag-decide na, I will propose. Alam mo, feeling mo sasagutin ka, diba? Ba’t ka magpo-propose eh di mo girlfriend? Wala, parang you just felt it right. I just want you to be my wife. When she said yes, ako ‘yung umiyak, eh. Kung nag-no siya, doon ako liligaw. Kukunin ko siya talaga. Alam ko siya ‘yung asawa ko. And until this day, coming here to work and even promoting or doing a film, ganyan. And my happiest times is when I come home, and when my wife and I… di mo kami mapaghihiwalay talaga. We travel, we work out, we eat, we sleep, we wake up, coffee, talk talk talk—for the past 23 years.

Indeed, find a man who loves you more, as this will help the relationship last and prosper. Choose a man whose world lights up at the mere mention of your name—a man who treats you as his home, always sees your worth, and values you deeply. He will love you unconditionally, no matter the phases you go through, whether in a relationship or marriage. You are blessed to have someone who will remain consistent in their love and care, even as the years pass.

A successful marriage is not always about how long you have known each other. Most of the time, it is about the genuine connection between two people who are willing to take risks together.

#1 rule kapag nilibre ka always piliin mo ung mura and if you still preferred ordering the expensive one make sure to share and pay for your bill kahit sinabi pa ng manliligaw mong libre ka niya.

Reading this has really struck a chord with me. Popularity alone doesn’t equip someone with the skills or experience to handle the complexities of government, legislation, or public administration. Unfortunately, not everyone has the eye for discernment when choosing leaders, but it’s essential to remember that when we vote, we should prioritize someone who genuinely has the capacity to serve the nation — not just cater to individual interests.

In developed countries like Singapore and the United States, leadership often focuses on strategic growth, economic development, and national progress, rather than solely on charisma or fame. We, too, need leaders who put the country’s advancement first.

If public figures who are already popular or wealthy want to make a difference, they might consider setting up foundations or charities. This approach allows them to help people directly without holding government positions they might not be fully prepared to handle.

Government is about much more than just helping people on a personal level; it’s about fostering economic growth and long-term progress. When leaders prioritize national development, the benefits naturally uplift everyone in the country. So, as voters, let’s choose leaders based on competence and dedication to the nation’s prosperity, not just their popularity.
