Hello beautiful people!

I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨

While scrolling on instagram, I came across with this thoughts shared by Michelle Dy on her story. She just saw it as well on Facebook and decided to share it in her instagram.

This is the screenshot I took, while scrolling on my ig.

As you can see, it is about the 10 signs that you are doing better than you think you are. In life, we sometimes do not realize or just do not give importance about the things we made. Maybe because it doesn't mean that much or just because we are still aiming for more. Well, there is nothing wrong in aiming for more as it is a good mindset that we are looking for a better result, but there is a need for us to see that before we can get more we need to start from a bit. And such thing is a process.

With this said, I'll try to see if I am doing better compared to what I am before.

YOU PAID THE BILLS THIS MONTH.

I am proud to say, I am and I have been. For two years now since I started working on my own, I have been paying it myself. At first I thought it was easy as I am receiving salary every month, but it turned to be not. It is not easy, but it is fulfilling. Paying bills on time and sometimes before the deadline is way much fulfilling. It is such an achievement.

YOU'RE EMPLOYED.

Yes. For two years now. Not aligned with the profession I taken in college but a decent work that I can be able to provide my needs and the needs of my family. Such a success for me.

YOU'RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT YOUR NEXT MEAL.

Thank God, I am not anymore. Way back during my teenage years, we really got to experience to worry about our next meal. We do not have that such life that we all dreaming but God is so good that we still made it today, such experiences made me to strive hard and at least make sure to eat three meals a day. And until now, I am not worrying about it. Not only me, but my family as well.

YOU HAVE ONE OR TWO CLOSE FRIENDS.

I do. And I am blessed to have them in life. Way back I used to want to have more friends just for me to fit in. But realizations will really come that it is not the quantity, but the quality of the people around you.

YOU'RE NOT THE SAME PERSON YOU WERE A YEAR AGO.

Well said. I used to compare myself to anybody. I used to be insecure. I used to have a low self esteem. But having a change as a constant thing, I changed for good. I learned to love myself, and be contented on what I have. No need for comparison. We have different time table. The right time will come. The best is yet to come.

YOU'VE GOT GOALS.

I have. A lot. Not just for me, but for my family. And its what keeps me from going. Setting goals will make us strive harder. Step by step I am turning these goals into reality. Slowly. Slow progress is still a progress. No rush.

YOU EXPERIENCED REAL HARDSHIPS.

How hard these hardships are? Well, we all have different hardships in life and for sure we all have experienced such and it was not easy. But what matters is how we handled and how we overcome such. When things are not working how we wanted it to be, just embrace it. Do not run from it. Surpass it instead.

YOU DON'T LET PRIDE GET IN THE WAY OF ASKING FOR HELP.

Truly. Asking for help does not mean you are weak. It means that you are strong enough to seek for it. There are things we cannot do alone. We need someone to help us do it. And there's nothing wrong about it. I have been asking for help, but I make sure to return the favour.

YOU KNOW THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN MATERIAL POSSESSIONS.

I used to be so materialistic as I thought it is what makes me happy. Well it does, but it will not last. For me, being forgiving, having a peace of mind, not stressing too much and enjoying life is what matters the most. Hardships may come, but overcoming it is priceless.

YOU'VE CHOSEN HAPPINESS ON YOUR TERMS.

I always do. To be happy is all we wanted. We all know sadness and negativities are always around trying to test us. But how we deal on it is what matters the most. And choosing happiness is the best choice we can do, ever. Do not allow toxic people come to your life. Build a wall and open doors only to those who has the same goal as yours, and that is to be happy.

We all have different timetable in life. If you think, you are still not better compared before and you are still the same as you are, do not worry, no pressure. Life works at its best when you least expect it. Just make out of the best in life everyday. Be a good person.

That's all for today beautiful people. I hope you enjoyed reading my article for today. If you have any thoughts and take away about this piece, feel free to leave it in the comment section below. Let's interact. Stay safe always! Xoxo ✨☺️

Hello. I liked your post. We should do that mental exercise every so often. That will allow us to reevaluate our life. As you say, sometimes we don't give importance to the things we did, that's where some people miss out on being happy, because they are lacking purpose in life. Greetings.

Hi there. Greetings! πŸ’— True enough to be said. Sometimes we really need to exert some effort for our mental health. And yes, we really need to give importance to the little things in life as they are the one that keeps us great.

Di nalang ako palamunin sa bahay, may pinagkakakitaan na ako. Tho, di ako nakakapag bigay buwan buwan, atleast pa rin. Pag naka ipon ako ng malaki baka magawa ko na rin yan.

YOU HAVE ONE OR TWO CLOSE FRIENDS.

I loved it, yeah we don't need a lot of friends but we do need a real friend indeed. People tend and look comfortable with social media and they have been quietly thinking that more likes and hearts make them special and ignores that real one for fame. 7:43PM__8.7.21

First of all I like how you turned a social media post into an article. It proves, that we can write about anything and sometimes the topic or ideas are laid in front of us.

I am glad that you have changed for good. All that you mentioned are very important to enjoy life. Also I am happy that you manage to make ends meet. It is difficult for many people especually in the situation we are in right now all over the world.

Hi Peter. Yes, I actually trying to write another but what's in my draft before this one seems to not give any sense. So instead of pushing myself to limit, I decided to scroll on my socmed. Good thing I came across with this one.

I am also glad seeing that I am doing better. I just do not realized it as I am more focus on what's not important. Thank you for reading Peter. πŸ’—

It's nice to see that you too have come a long way too

We really have to appreciate ourselves more..... We should be proud of ourselves

I love how the list highlights the important things that we usually do not notice nor pay attention to. This list just showed me that when we pay attention to what we can be grateful of or things that we are able to do, we realize just how much we have instead of always feeling like something is missing or feeling discontentment.

Yass! Thank you for this reminder. Oftentimes, we compare our progress to others progress and too often we got disappointed in ourselves for not doing as great as others. But we need to be reminded from time to time that eventhough we're not taking a great leap like others, we still have to celebrate our slow progress and give ourselves a pat on the back for doing better than before.
