EVERY SECOND COUNTS

EVERY SECOND COUNTS

Ni: Oggie Cayetano

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,

gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking

so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously

give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,

our presence automatically liberates others.

ANO KA NA??? (Isang super-late new year's message)

Limang araw na mula nung pumasok ang bagong taong 2011. Pero sa isang maikling talata, hayaan nyo akong balikan ang nakaraang taon.

Sabi nila, ang 2010 daw ay “Year of Natural Calamities” dahil sa maraming sakuna na dulot ng kalikasan. Noong nakaraang taon din ay nahalal ang bagong pinuno ng bansa pagkatapos ng mahigit siyam na taong pamamahala ng nakaraang administrasyon. Sabi nga ng bagong pangulo, “Pwede na muling mangarap”. Muli tayong binigyang parangal sa larangan ng boxing matapos muling manalo ng People’s Champ na ngayon ay isa ng congressman. Patuloy ang diskusyon sa pagitan ng Simbahan at ng pamahalaan tungkol sa RH Bill. Marami pang nangyari, maganda, di masyadong maganda, nakakalungkot, nakakatuwa at marami pang iba. Ito ang tanong ko, naging maganda man o hindi para sa iyo ang 2010, matapos ang lahat ng nangyari sa Pilipinas at sa sarili mong buhay, ano ka na? Ano nang nangyari sa iyo? Saan ka dadalhin ng agos ng panahon ngayong bagong taon?
