Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. -Max Ehrmann, Desiderata

lift me up

June 25, 2008

We’ve been  busy. Very busy. We start our day at six in the morning and go home at around ten in the evening. It’s crazy. It’s tiring. But let us think of the future. The first step is always the hardest. It will get better. I know it wil.

Keep these concepts in mind.

You’ve  failed many times although you don’t remember.

You fell down the first time you tried to walk.

You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim.

Don’t worry about failure, worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try.

People like to complain. People whine. We, at least, are doing something about it.

Avoidance of what you fear to do never helps to overcome it. Avoidance only creates more fear.

Get moving and seize the day!

The first time is always the hardest… but we will move on, we will. Things may be hard but if you keep holding on, it will come easy sooner or later.

well, i’m feeling that now while we are on the process of opening our coffee shop. the thought alone of the things that needs to be done is overwhelming!

whatever you’re going through, stay strong, and keep the faith! :)

Ah well, we all have those days.

Anong cat phase yan? 6? 5? ;)

Hang in there. This too shall pass!

Sheng: I guess it’s because we are doing something totally out of our comfort zone, which makes it doubly hard. We will do this!

Odette: Wow! Where is your coffee shop located? Maybe we can drop by. One cappuccino and one latte please!

Toni: Thanks! On the outside, it’s phase 1, but it’s really phase 6!

I love how you used my photo. Looks great and fits the theme of your blog well.

Scott, you have amazing photos! And just to give you a heads up, I might be borrowing a few, ok, a lot! :o
The wife and I are also in photography, but nowhere near yours.

Kayo ba yung nasa pic? :)

I love the philosophy of Michael Jordan: “You miss 100% of the shots you didn’t take.” So better take the shot and miss than not take the shot at all!

it’s a good trait that whenever you feel down or exhausted with life, you find ways (or quotes) to encourage yourself, just like the ones you got here. very helpful indeed!

kg: Nope. Look closely, the guy is taller than the woman, definitely not us! :)
I agree. Just do it!

ka2x: I’ve always tried to keep my cool in the outside. And when things bring me down, I find ways to lift me up, get me going.
“…blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have
made the Lord their hope and confidence.”

Haha! I think I’ve matured a bit. Just a bit. Hope to see you soon and hang out. It’s always nice to see good friends.
