It's been, I guess four years since I wrote on this blog. Long time.
What have I been up to? Well, I'm back in the Philippines ever since 2016, that I can easily tell you.
Am I an Entrepreneur? Well, all I can say is it's in process. Being an entrepreneur is hard, it takes and needs all your time and commitment, that I have not or am not giving, honestly.
Besides making myself become an Entrepreneur, I am gladly able to tell you though that I am still continuing to be the best-est damn person that I would like to be.
This will forever be an ongoing process, a continued effort of evolvement, my personal life's movement.
Though don't get me wrong, like being an entrepreneur, it has it's ups and downs. There are circumstances that makes you want to give up on it... give up on life--not killing oneself, mind you, but giving up in the sense of not living to what I want or how I want to live (i.e. being a hermit)-- give up on people... people, I realized are more complicated, more worse, than I thought they could be...
As I come back to this blog, and read and reread all the things I have written, I am not proud to say that I have not lived to few of these principles. Because there are times, I find myself wanting to scream at this life and at people.
Life should be simple. People should be simple. It takes only common sense to live this life. But I guess, the saying is true, common sense might not be common after all. The principle of life: be kind and be positive, make love, not war, and all these... takes a toll to someone who despite, trying to become kinder, trying to be positive, especially in this negative, and sometimes discouraging world we live in; trying to show love (not romantically), and friendship, and support... they are still mocked, laughed at, doubted, put down, disrespected, etc.
Sometimes, I do not like to believe in what my mother says anymore, that "human beings are inherently good." I think they are inherently worst, and they only do good from time to time... or they are just good if you are good to them... or they are just good if they want something from you...
I give up in this kind of life. I give up on these kinds of human beings. SERIOUSLY.
Now I understand, why there is war. Why some people cannot get a long. WE are living a life expecting the other should live to their own wants and their own beliefs and their own standards. I am guilty of this.
I always tell my mom, "I am not like this because I do not want people or life to treat me like this." "I am like this, and I expect the same courtesy." But my mom always says, and as usual, my forever high-EQ mother and mentor would respond: "That is you. Not everybody is like you. People are different."
People are different.
I know this. I know this pretty well. Especially well for someone who promotes, and likes to be different, unique, a rebel, a nerd, a queen, etc etc etc... but I still found it bothersome, that the simple... these simple common sense ideologies cannot be grasped by some or most people.
And as always, I get burned to learn this lesson.
When will I ever learn?
With all these thoughts running through my head, I came up with the same principles and solutions, I also promote and try to live by.
They are:
1. Do not give up. Life no matter what is a beautiful blessing, and you are put on this earth for something special. No matter how small that is.
2. Understand, that people are different. Each one is unique. Sure you can and may have similarities, one way or another, but you are still different from each other, and that is okay. and that is good. and sometimes that can be something special. It is how you work through those differences that can make it better. And if you can not make it good, God forbid, you really cannot stand the other, or each other. You can still be kind, and continue to move on and move along. You cannot please everybody, and not everybody is going to like you (same principle as not everyone can please you, and you are not going to like everybody). There are billions of people in the planet, there are more people to meet. There are more tribes to explore. Again, like what my mother also says: "You are lucky if you find one or two truest and best-est friend/s. But being your own best friend, and having a family that loves and supports you can be enough."
3. Always, stay true to yourself, and be yourself, and most importantly believe in yourself. Like for example, despite how bad a person or a situation is to you, do not let them take away your kindness, your patience, your understanding, your grace. How will you ever find your tribe anyway, if you are not being yourself, and know and believe in yourself? Be proud. Take no shit from people who belittle you, mock you, disrespects you, put you down, etc. Who cares, I am sure they do not care about you, so why care about them? Just live your life according to what and how you want as long as you are not hurting anybody or stepping on anyone's toes, you are good.
These are all for the moment. Will get back to you sooner, hopefully than later! Catch me in my other "blogs" like at mryrose.com
