Hello Readers! This is my first post here in this site and I hope I can find new people who has the same passion as me. I may be writing random topics about nature, faith, fiction stories (I'm an aspiring writer) and life motivation and inspirational quotes.

I'm a Filipino and English is not really my cup of tea so bear with my grammar and sometimes I may get typo errors, but I hope you will still read my contents.

As you can see, the pandemic has brought a big impact on my life, my work and my mental health. I would assume, that it is not only me who experience this. But what keeps me moving in spite of all the odds that happened in almost 2 years is my faith.

So let me share this article that helps me grounded and moving on with life. Though it is attribute to Pope Francis, you may know him as the head of the Catholic Church but he is fond of telling his points using simple words and imageries. No wonder that this article was attribute to him. But may it be him or an anonymous writer wrote it, allow me to share it because I think it is not only me that needs to be reminded of it.

Here's the article:

A Gentle Reminder From Pope Francis

This life will go by fast.

Don't fight with people, don't criticize your body so much, don't complain so much.

Don't lose sleep over your bills. Look for the person that makes you happy.

If you make a mistake, let it go and keep seeking your happiness.

Never stop being a good parent. Don't worry so much about buying luxuries and comforts for your home, and don't kill yourself trying to leave an inheritance for your family. Those benefits should be earned by each person, so don't dedicate yourself to accumulating money.

Enjoy, travel, enjoy your journeys, see new places, give yourself the pleasures you deserve. Allow dogs to get closer. Don't put away the fine glassware. Utilize the new dinnerware; don't save your favorite perfume, use it to go out with yourself; wear out your favorite sport shoes; repeat your favorite clothes. So what? That's not bad.

Why not now? Why not pray now instead of waiting until before you sleep? Why not call now? Why not forgive now? We wait so long for Christmas; for Friday; for Reunions; for another year; for when I have money; for love to come; when everything is perfect...look... Everything perfect doesn't exist.

Human beings can't accomplish this because it simply was not intended to be completed here. Here is an opportunity to learn. So take this challenge that is life and do it now...love more, forgive more, embrace more, love more intensely and leave the rest in God's hands.

Amen.

Let me know if you read up to here. What's in the article that you think you are reminded of? Can you comment it down so we could interact?
