Lei's Myriad Inspirations

Being a parent isn't just about bearing a child.  It is about bearing witness to its life. It's not only children who grow. Parents do, too.  As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the stars. All I can do is reach for them, myself. Guide and grant me strength, Lord, as I do. *¨*•.¸¸♥ 11222014

Turn your wounds into wisdom. The emotion that can break your heart  is sometimes the very one that heals it. Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us. It has been said that time heals the pains of the heart that are seemingly irreparably broken, but I think the enlightenment that emerges as time passes by is the one that does the healing. It is also by choice that we make ourselves complete once again or be still and see the scars as fresh wounds and feel the hurt anew. (inspired by Tita Witty-thanks for the free delivery!) 11212014

Write from the heart, from the soul. Bring your message across, through written words, articulate your thoughts and emotions, build bridges of communication, to inspire, to animate, to be understood and to understand others. For me, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it. It may also be an avenue to unleash worries, shake off fears, give courage a chance to be reborn, or just fill a blah moment with some damn good worth. 11202014

Host: One of your proudest achievements is standing up to your professor back in college,  now what have you stood up for recently? MQ: When I fell on the stage last Friday, I believe that I have stood up for all the women  who have fallen whether on or off stage. I believe that through this example of mine,  I have shown courage and strength of being a woman, of being who I am. And I hope to be an example to the rest of the women in the world.  ~ Miriam Quiambao (Miss Universe 1999, 1st Runner Up) Whenever I fall, and have chosen to stand up once again,  I always remind myself to pick up something  that would make getting up worthier than falling down in the first place.  11192014

Striking the balance on keeping sentimental  in ever-changing scenarios is like understanding the importance of  something mutual yet in obvious ways, unparalleled with the mediocre. Like genuine love and friendships, honing to perfection remains a work in progress, as we keep on making allowances for the human sentiments while our hearts take pride on mutual valuing. ❤ ☆•*¨*•.¸☆ 11182014

I believe in karma and I believe that  if you put out positive vibes to everybody at every scenario, no matter how others would take it,  that’s all you’re going to get back. For the times that the only weapon I have is my calmness & faith, seeing the good in each of Life's occurrences, I only have my heart to battle it all and I'm glad to have surfaced with gratefulness. Truly His rewards are overwhelming. 11172014

Don't worry about doing too many things at once,  many of them often are not important enough  to even complete in the first place.  Prioritize what really needs to be done and you will soon find you have more than enough time to do it all. For now, just enjoy this thankful day. What we think about and thank for is what we bring about. Feel the gratitude. Feel the happiness. 11162014
