GYFT

“I LOVE my life for it is indeed a GYFT.”

I’ve been ending my journal entries with this phrase for, what I’d like to think is, the past year.
Every single day, writing down the words LOVE, LIFE, GYFT.

I’m not entirely sure what about it makes me feel good. But what I am sure about is that it reminds me of how big of a blessing and privilege it is to be able to have this LIFE.

Yes it is a PRIVILEGE. If you don’t believe this, just google the odds of being born.

If there’s one thing I would want to remind my self over and over again, it is this:

Through the realization that this LIFE is a GYFT, a blessing, you LOVE your Life.

Think about all of these things. The Life you’ve been able to experience and the emotions you got to feel. Isn’t it wonderful? Isn’t it amazing?
The Hard, the Happy, anger, love and the potential of becoming the person you dream of.

I don’t know what else is going to make you get out of that bed but this..

I LOVE my LIFE. It is indeed a GYFT.

We all had success with every different thing. Because success comes in many forms, and success to me is making people see the truth that they are worthy of love. To see them glow and be able to finally see their potential is very fulfilling to me.

A quote from Goethe is one of my favorites, it is “Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is; treat a man as he can and should be, and he will become as he can and should be.”
We must love everyone and make them see their potential and how special they are.

One of the top things I’ve learned in life and from my father is that you have to love everybody.
He always taught me that we are surrounded by imperfect people with faults, weaknesses, and people who have gone through pain and inner battles in their lives, so it is important to love everyone regardless of who they are or what they did. We should be the bigger person to understand.

Love above all else. As humans, we are wired for relationships. It’s not only about romantic relationships, it is the ones that we have with everyone. Because love and relationships are the core of life.

We all long to be loved, to feel belonged, and be nurtured. No
matter how much we deny it, we can not operate well without love and we all long to be loved.

We’ve met people who hurt us in every way imaginable, those who have offended us, those who did us wrong, but as crazy as this sounds, I learned that it’s always best to forgive them because they’re human.

If someone is hurting you and it’s destroying your wellbeing, you don’t have to be around them. Put boundaries and only love them from afar.

We don’t choose who to love, we must love everyone in this life. We have to understand and the only thing that can be done always is to love more.
The people you encounter every day, the ones you come pass by in public, that person, this person, those people, deserves to be loved.
You don’t deserve love because of your status, or because of your achievements, or because of fame, money, or anything you did or have. You deserve love simply because you’re human.

Nurture people, understand and support them. Being generous is a fulfilling thing.
I always wanted to have powers like superman, flash, wonder woman, or any other heroes. But their powers exist only in fiction. The superpower I hold now is giving and sharing the love I have that came from God.

Love oneself too because we can not give what we do not have. Then next we go and share what we have.
It’s easy for us to love the light side of everyone, the side that only shows the bright side. But I learned to love the part of themselves that they don’t show to everyone. We must openly accept the darkest part of people.

Value people, relationships, and oneself. Love and serve. Do good and you’ll find peace.
We must not choose who to love, we should love everybody unconditionally and nurture them.
Love everyone and the unlovable.

After reading Lyka Tan 's blog,
I saw the power through forgiveness.

Forgiving someone may sometimes seem like you're just letting someone get away with what they've done — easily. But let me tell you, like how Lyka said it in her blog, IT IS NOT.

Letting go is "a small step but not a small THING," as stoics say. It plays a much bigger role in your self.. in our development and growth.

Forgiveness is much bigger than the action and the person itself. By learning to forgive, you empower yourself.

You take back the power from the situation. It's like telling yourself, "I AM NOT A SLAVE." You are not allowing what happened to keep you in the same cycle and to hinder you from reaching your true potential.

Therefore making that STORY, Your GYFT.
