Lei's Myriad Inspirations

Random thoughts about winning and losing... Not all dreamers are winners,  but all winners are dreamers. Your dream is the key to your future. Without a vision (dream), people perish. You need a dream--and work hard towards that dream, to succeed in anything you do. Another metaphor of life-- the defining moment comes with the acceptance of a gracious defeat. Talk about doing your best but your best wasn't good enough. Rising at every fall is a courageous act in itself. But then, realizing the essence of why you've bravely risen, makes each fall worthwhile.☆*¨*•.☆ 11242014

We like to make choices that will ultimately make us happy. We ask God in fervent prayer or in a distracted plea to take our side. Then one day He doesn’t agree with us and turns us down. Why? His judgment may disappoint us and cause us pain and discouragement but He turns out to be fair all the time. ~ Tingting Cojuangco Each of us was in your life for a reason. You may not have known the reason at the time, and that is what heaven is for. For understanding your life on earth. ~ Mitch Albom Lift up all your worries to Him and let Him be your guide. Embrace every day with kindness & gratefulness. Above and beyond He guides us through. Always keep the faith. *¨*•.¸¸♥ 11232014

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
