Keep on Going.

**01/18/2022** It's oftentimes hard to tell ourselves that we've grown. Especially when we base this growth to others.

One thing I realized today is how I was able to finish lots of things, so far. Until yesterday, I have always thought that I did not do much, and that I still have lots of things undone at work. But then, I looked at the worksheet where I encode stuff, and I was shocked how I've already consumed almost a thousand rows already. *That's just one sheet*. I also checked all my monitoring spreadsheets concerning meals and load allowances, for instance, and I have already typed in lots of inputs. Moreover, I am about to close all the stuff I handle relating to last year's transactions, and it took me quite a while, because, dude.. that's a lot of accumulated data, for the year. I could not help but give my own self a pat in the shoulder, because I finally realized.. I did well. January up to December are twelve months, and to think again how it just passed by like a season felt thrilling. We've had lots of ups and downs, and when we look at ourselves, we'll come to discover that we somehow overcome. We're still here, living, existing. I know we all had moments when we thought of giving up, whether it's about simple, or complicated things. Now that I think about it again, I had lots of such thoughts last year, well, until now. Of course. I have thought of giving up my job, some things I love doing, and actually did surrender precious things, and most specifically, a loved one, my beloved pet. Those things were painful processes, but it can't be denied how it made us better versions of ourselves. We always learn something new, no matter if through a wholesome or painful means. If I ask you now, do you notice how much you've grown? Take a look at yourself five years ago. Do you see those things you used to lack that you have now? Or have you achieved some of your goals? Or maybe your dreams have changed. Have you noticed how some people in your life are not the same before and now? Losing friends in this life is also a form of growth. People come and go. Sometimes, God gives us people to help us in a phase of our lives, and then teaches us to let go, for their purpose have been fulfilled. It's also amazing how we can notice specific people that stayed with us through many years, and we discover the kind of friendship that gets stronger through time. Having mentioned these things, we can now say how growth comes in many forms. And how it may not be noticeable, too. Moving on, it's not so strange how tge back pains disappear when I finish work. It's only bothering me when I was at office earlier. Aircon, plus, work, plus my faulty posture, I think, plus other unknown factors most probably caused this. I am just relaxing right now, after a nice dinner, and still contemplatonf on things, one of which, is what to write after this word. Don't forget to be thankful for the little and great things we haveeven we don't ask for it. Always be grateful for granted prayers, achieved goals, and beautiful memories. Life is not always sunshine and rainbows, but we can be sure that there is, always one reason to smile everyday. I hope that whatever's bothering you right now, will be settled soon. I pray that whatever's making you sad will not be a reason to be sad anymore. I hope that God will relieve you of anxiety and help you spend your day/night peacefully. You deserve to breathe i this world that can sometimes be suffocating. Let's not allow negative things to eat us us right now. Time to drive them all away and show them who rules. Yes, warrior, that's you! You've done it many times. Of course, you can do it again. You'll surely overcome. Above are my affirmations, slash, prayer for myself tonight. And you can use it, too. You can look into the mirror and speak these powerful words. Or you can just read it and feel its own healing empowering your soul. I hppe that would help. Like I said in my blog last night, it seems like I am starting again in this blogging side hustle of mine. I am always grateful for your visits, and your boundless support. ***Feel free to be one of the people in my sponsor block!
