Perspective

 a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.

Air walk

 𝘼𝙞𝙧 𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠

During long-haul flights, I make it a point to walk around the plane, especially when people are settled down and sleeping already. This is good exercise, and also a chance for me to say a prayer and bless my fellow passengers, including the captain and the crew.

Every passenger has a story to tell, and only God knows the heart, the loves, the trials, the hopes and dreams of every one. So as I walk around, I just whisper a prayer, and hope that all will be well and that everything will happen as God intends.

A MOMENT WITH THE LORD

Lord, unto You I commend my brothers and sisters, and ask Your blessing. Amen.

A MOMENT WITH THE WORD

"I remember you in my prayers day and night." 2 Timothy 1:3

Fr Jerry Orbos, SVD reminds us that God speaks to us in the most ordinary moments of our lives. He calls this "moments spirituality"; every moment is filled with God's presence and grace.

A Moment A Day is a collection of the best moments that Fr. Jerry Orbos, SVD has shared through the years, from which readers can draw inspiration day to day.

Burnout

Burnout is being overwhelmed by work .

Boreout is being underwhelmed by work.

Having too much responsibility is exhausting. Having two little is deflating. Idle time and pointless tasks undermine energy.  Motivation depends on balancing what's meaningful with what's manageable. - Adam Grant

We cannot

 We cannot be everything for everyone all the time. But we can do something for someone at some time. Sometimes, the little things that we do to someone are all that they need to make their life a little different but a lot better.  We do not have to wait for people to recognize how hard we work. We just do what we have to do. God sees.  #PassionPurposeProductivity

Kalamansi

 MGA PAKINABANG SA KALUSUGAN NG KALAMANSI

1. Pinapababa ang tsansa ng stroke– Ayon sa pag-aaral sa amerika, ang pagkain ng mga prutas na sitrus tulad ng kalamansi, orange at suha ay pinapababa ang panganib ng ischemic stroke para sa mga kababaihan. Ang mga tao o kababaihan na kumain ng maraming sitrus ay may 19% na mas mababang panganib ng ischemic stroke kaysa sa mga hindi kumakain ng maraming citrus.

2. Presyon ng dugo– Ang sodium ay dapat iwasan upang mapanatili ang normal na antas ng presyon ng Dugo at salamat sa mataas na potasyum na nilalaman ng kalamansi na napakahalaga dahil sa mga benepisyo ng vasodilation nito. Ayon sa pag-aaral, ang mataas na pag konsumo ng potassium sa ingles ay pinapalakas ang iyong proteksyon laban sa sakit ng bente porsyento.

3. Binabawasan ang panganib ng cancer- Ang kanser na dulot ng free radicals ay maaaring matanggal sa pamamagitan ng pag-konsumo ng vitamin C, isang uri ng bitamina na marami ang kalamansi at may malakas na antioxidant. Ayon sa isang pag-aaral tungkol sa vitamin C mula sa sitrus ay maaaring talunin ang mga cell cancer na colorectal, ngunit kinakailangan ng napakaraming Vitamin C upang magawa ito.

4. Mabuti para sa Puso– Sinusuportahan ng kalamansi ang Kalusugan ng Puso dahil sa fiber, potassium, vitamin C at choline na kapaki-pakinabang para sa kalusugan ng puso o cardiovascular.

5. Diabetes– Ang kalamansi ay may mayaman na fiber at ayon sa pag-aaral ang mataas na diyeta ng fiber ay nakakapagpababa ng asukal sa dugo at minementena ang asukal sa dugo, lipid at insulin ng taong may diyabetis.

6. Pinapalakas ang resistensya– Ang Vitamin C ang pinakapopular na immune system booster na maaari mong ikonsumo, salamat sa kalamansi na puno ng likas na Vitamin C na makakatulong na mapabuti ang resistensya laban sa iba’t ibang mga sakit.

I realized.

 This is too good not to share. I asked a friend who has crossed 70 and is heading towards 80 what sort of changes he is feeling in himself?  He sent me the following:

1.  After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children and my friends, I have now started loving myself.

2.  I have realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.

3.  I have stopped bargaining with vegetable & fruit vendors. A few pennies more is not going to break me, but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.

4.  I leave my waitress a big tip. The extra money might bring a smile to her face. She is toiling much harder for a living than I am.

5.  I stopped telling the elderly that they've already told that story many times. The story makes them walk down memory lane & relive their past.

6.  I have learned not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. The onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.

7.  I give compliments freely & generously. Compliments are a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me.  And a small tip for the recipient of a compliment, never, NEVER turn it down, just say "Thank You.”

8.  I have learned not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. Personality speaks louder than appearances.

9.  I walk away from people who don't value me. They might not know my worth, but I do.

10.  I remain cool when someone plays dirty to outrun me in the rat race. I am not a rat & neither am I in any race.

11.  I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. It’s my emotions that make me human.

12.  I have learned that it's better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. My ego will keep me aloof, whereas with relationships, I will never be alone.

13.  I have learned to live each day as if it's the last. After all, it might be the last.

14.  I am doing what makes me happy. I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to myself. Happiness is a choice. You can be happy at any time, just choose to be!

I decided to share this for all my friends. Why do we have to wait to be 60 or 70 or 80, why can't we practice this at any stage and age?

Moments.

 MOMENTS by Fr. Jerry Orbos, SVD

The story is told about a news reporter who hurriedly boarded a twin engine plane which was already warming up, presuming that it was the plane he rented. Once they were airborne, he told the pilot to fly over the valley so that he could take photos of the forest fire. The young pilot looked at him, and slowly said: “You mean to say, you are not my flight instructor?!”

* * *

Today is the Feast of the Sto. Nino to commemorate the Holy Childhood. In today’s Gospel (Lk 2, 41-52), we hear about the 12-year-old Jesus who got lost in the temple because his parents presumed that Jesus was already in the caravan with relatives and friends. Presumption could lead to confusion. Make sure. Don’t presume.

* * *

Parents, don’t presume that all is well with your children. Take time to be present to them, and ask them how they are, and how they are doing. Don’t take chances. Go out of your way for them.

* * *

I remember the pain of a mother whom I counseled by phone sometime last year. Her teenage son became withdrawn and melancholic because of the pandemic situation. She presumed that he will be just fine. One evening, while she and her husband were at the dining table, they heard a gunshot. Rushing to their son’s room, they saw their son dead, with a gun in his hand. Her biggest regret was: “I could have asked, I should have listened more…”

* * *

Parents who are so protective and domineering over your children, remember they have a life of their own, and a mission for them from God to perform. Don’t presume that you can control them, and make them in your own image and likeness. Learn to let go, and let God.

* * *

On the other hand, children should not presume that their parents will always be there for them, to provide and guide them. Somewhere down the road, children must focus less on what their parents owe them, and focus more on what they owe their parents. The sooner, the better. Without a “payback time” mindset, children will not really mature and grow up.

* * *

Last week, presuming that I was still young and strong, I lifted up a heavy plant box while I was gardening, and hurt my lower back. I had to use a cane to walk. Two lessons learned: slow down, you are no longer that young; and whenever you experience a painful spasm, stop, lower your body by bending your knees, and the pain is gone or diminished. Same in life—if you know how to stop and bend your knees in prayer, your burdens become lighter.

* * *

May this Feast of the Holy Child remind parents to raise not only healthy, witty, and wealthy children, but holy children as well. Remember, long after you are gone, the children will be okay, if they have faith in God, and they have love in their hearts.

* * *

Sharing with you Pope Francis’ pandemic intentions for the beginning of each rosary decade: first decade—for the protection of first responders, health care workers, medical researchers; second decade—for healing of victims of the coronavirus and for the protection of their family members; third decade—for the souls of the victims of the coronavirus and for the consolation of their families; fourth decade—for the protection of those who are most vulnerable to the coronavirus; fifth decade—for the expedient halt to the spread of the virus, so that people will be able to return to their normal daily activities, with a deepened faith and love for God. Mary, Mother of the Sick and Help of Christians, pray for us.

* * *

A moment with our Lord: Lord, help us not to presume, rather, help us to go the extra mile, and give the extra smile. Amen.

Intelligence moves on.

 The donkey told the tiger, "The grass is blue." 

The tiger replied, "No, the grass is green ."

The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, so they approached the lion. 

As they approached the lion on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn't it true that the grass is blue?" 

The lion replied: "If you believe it is true, the grass is blue." 

The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me, contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him."

The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 3 days of silence." 

The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating ′′The grass is blue, the grass is blue..." 

The tiger asked the lion, "Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?" 

The lion replied, ′′You've known and seen the grass is green."

The tiger asked, ′′So why do you punish me?" 

The lion replied, "That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is degrading for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with an ass, and on top of that, you came and bothered me with that question just to validate something you already knew was true!"

The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense. There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand. Others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t. 

When IGNORANCE SCREAMS, intelligence moves on.

01162022 Strong Faith

 A friend sent me this wonderful reminder:

Big future - Usually started as little dreams.  Big steps - Usually started as small ones. Big decisions - Usually started as complicated ones. Big laughs  - Usually started as small jokes

Big love - Usually started as a small trust.

But big blessings - Permanently started as strong FAITH!

Wisdom

 There is great wisdom in the words of William Arthur Ward. He says: "Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy. To follow but not imitate. To praise but not flatter. And to lead but not to manipulate."

The World

 I love this quote from an anonymous source:

The World Doesn't  Need More Mountains To Climb, More Seas To Cross, More Stars To Shine. What The World Needs Is 'More Of Us.' Special People Whose Goodness Makes A Difference In The Lives Of Others.

Let me add: And we are all qualified to do this.

#PassionPurposeProductivity

Pray generously.

Don’t pray only for yourself. Pray for others. Be generous with your prayers. Pray for those who have battles they don’t talk about.
