start with yourself...

When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country.

But, it too, seemed immovable.

As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it.

And now as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: If I had only changed my self first, then by example I would have changed my family.

From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country and, who knows, I may have even changed the world.

just wanna share this..taken from one post of a fellow ql fil expat

Ever had a twilight zone moment???

Just wanna share this story ...it happened around 1996..12 years ago...It all started when my sister got hold of an interesting phone number that says they can check out your past life or even your future...Now this may sound funny but we called the number..actually my sister called first.. it was so eerie..knowing my sister to have some psychic abilities even from before...she's a bit unconvinced at first....But when the person started talking to her...slowly she realized there must be something to this experience after all... first my sister gave her full name and date of birth... the person told him the time she was born....ok that may be a coincidence..so they continued the conversation first my sister asked the psychic..whats her past life.... then the psychic said you are an old soul already... you have already used 7 and he said she lived a full life already and this is his last.... so hearing this my sister said can you tell me my past lives.... so the psychic enumerated... first you're a wind goddess... there's a ship and you were able to save lives by helping stir the ship to safety through your powers...(huh???) okay on to her next life... she witnessed a murder of a certain royalty during the old times and whispered everything to the bushes in the garden... for some reasons she was given a gift by somebody in that time period and the gift is (the gift of whisper)...this made me feel uncomfortable when I heard this because even before we we're old enough to understand things ..my sister was really convinced that whenever she whispers something..a simple prayer or just a wish... there'sa big possibility that it happens...thats why during my college entrance exams around 1991 I asked her to be with me in the University just to whisper that I pass the exams there...(thats how I usually asked favors from her... be it big or small I ask her to whisper something for me...weird huh?) "Tol..pakibulong naman..'" thats my usual request...ok..let me continue her conversation with the psychic guy... her third life was a snakecharmer..(what???)this may sound so weird but do you know that my sister have this fascination with snakes... she's a student at a flying school..at that time she's the only girl in their class she's taking up aviation course(yup pilot) and some of her friends can't believe how she would easily be comfortable with snakes being brought to their school ... before i would just think that it's because of her fondness with animals thats why they react to her kindly also but..snakecharmer??? ok next life... the psychic said she's connected to mahathma gandi , she lived a very simple life in that lifetime.. i dunno for some reason that gave me real shivers...because even before... she's really fascinated with Gandhi...his books... his life... the lifestyle... Even before I find my sister a bit different from the rest of the pack.... then her next life was a pilot also... but she crashed iN the mountains..( did I mentioned that my sister is a student of a flying school at present?) then next life is a preschool teacher for kids...(for those who know her..her greatest joys are kids and animals... she really has a pure heart...goodness and all) and before her present life she's a model in the 60's like twiggy) you should see my sister..( no need for me to convince you that she looks like a model because she is... for some short stints) so looking back at her past life... i felt that there are some explanations why she is what she is now...so to make the story short I was kindda convinced with this psychic that I tried it for myself and some friends...believe me looking back now... what the psychic told us eventually happened...after this experience we we're somehow rattled by the revelations and predictions..that some people are asking us for the persons number...Weird really.. because there is no number registered like that...even if we call numerous times..nothing.. and when we verified with the phone company.. the number we gave them doesn't exist...even our phone bill records doesn't have any list that we used this number..thats why in our lifetime I call that one of our twilight zones episode......

Heres some stories from my friend:

One friend talked to the psychic in our house at that time he's a math student...with a long term relationship with girl who's also our friend.. nobody would have predicted anything differently about him because his life is somehow steady at that time... but the psychic said... you're life will revolve around balls... you will go from place to place and marry a girl in a medical profession(psychic even said in white uniform or something)...( that's funny at that time... because his girlfriend is an accounting student, he's studying bs math ') but do you wanna know after 12 years what happened to him...he's already basketball coach from a certain university..he's been going around the globe with representatives from our countrys' sports industry...he's been seen on tv shows for some sports updates and stuff... and yes... he's now a family man...married to a very pretty doctor from a prestigious hospital in manila...(coincidence??)


 
Another story...My storyJ I asked the psychic how many lives have I covered already he said just 3..this is my third... my first life was Japanese girl who died at a very young age because of an abusive parent..I have a brother who loves me so much and vowed that he would take care of me no matter what... on my death bed my brother said i will look for you ...i will take care of you...nobody will harm you anymore when we see each other again....

On my second life the psychic said that I'm a battered wife..stripped to naked... all the clothes, money and support were taken away from me by my abusive husband and I eventually die with all the sadness and pain...the psychic told me that before I died I vowed and told myself I will never be abused again...and I will never feel so low....thats why the psychic told me that my third life would somehow reflect my 2^nd life... either I go back to that pattern or try my best to have a happy life....

So at present I'm living my third life... I asked the psychic ...is my husband already my soulmate??? He immediately replied NO.... which made me felt different... i said why??? Because I really feel happy and very positive with my life now... I feel his the yin to my yangJ... you know what the psychic said... he's not your soulmate..he's your brother from your first life... he found you.. and he's taking care of you now...(what??? Now that gave me the shivers....) because if you want to know how I met my husband...I met him in a church seminar called PREX... and the way you call your peers there are kuya or ate..(brother/sister)..when I met him... My initial words we're..Hi Kuya !!!) coincidence or not???

There are still some more stories... but better to tell you next time... my point is all of us experience unexplainable things in life.... this is one part of mine....

Just Like a Pencil (from Like the Flowing River, Paulo Coelho)

By buttercupryle on Wed, 30/01/2008 - 5:32am

A boy was watching his grandmother write a letter. At one point, he asked:
'Are you writing a story about what we've done? Is it a story about me?'
His grandmother stopped writing her letter and said to her grandson:
'I am writing about you, actually, but more important than the words is the pencil I'm using. I hope you will be like this pencil when you grow up.'
Intrigued, the boy looked at the pencil. It didn't seem very special.
'But it's just like any other pencil I've ever seen!'
'That depends on how you look at things. It has five qualities which if you manageto hang on to them, will make you a person who is always at peace with the world.

First Quality:
You are capable of great things, but you must never forget that there is a hand guiding your steps. We call that hand God, and He always guides us according to His will.

Second Quality:
Now and then, I have to stop writing and use a sharpener. That makes the pencil suffer a little but afterwards, he's much sharper. So you, too, must learn to bear certain pains and sorrows, because they will make you a better person.

Third Quality:
The pencil always allow us to use an eraser to rub out any mistakes. This means that correcting something we did is not necessarily a bad thing; it hepls to keep us on the road to justice.

Fourth Quality:
What really matters in a pencil is not its wooden exterior, but the graphite inside. So always pay attention to what is happening inside you.

Finally:
The pencil's Fifth Quality, it always leaves a mark. In just the same way, you should know that in everything you do in life will leave a mark, so try to be concious of that in your action
