All About Rusty!
***I will never forget the day I got to meet you, Rusty! I will always be grateful that I got to know and have you in my life.***
I was first introduced to this platform when I was sad and concerned about my finances. I was first hesitant to believe, not because of this platform but rather because of my writing talent; this is what makes me so concerned about whether or not I could produce excellent content like others.
I am also reluctant since I am aware of my poor time management skills; some of you are aware of my current employment and the difficulty of maintaining consistency throughout the day due to my workload.
*Therefore, all of my what-ifs went free when I decided to attempt and take a chance by joining here. Here are some other aspects of my life that Rusty changed:*
****Rusty saves me from my shortcomings!****
I'm grateful for this platform because it has become my side hustle. Thinking about additional ways to make money as the household's earner, Rusty saves me. When I ran out of cash, Rusty showered me with blessings that would more than make up for my issues. Rusty also gives me something I can use when I need to buy something for myself but can't afford it.
****I became a better giver because of Rusty!****
In addition to providing for our household, Rusty helps me be a better giver to my Aeta pupils. Aside from Rusty, I am thankful to everyone here for sharing their blessings with me so I may also bless my pupils, especially my friend. Poorer than they are, my Aeta classmates could need some support. Because of this platform's ability to help me become a better giver, I am happy.
****Rusty shifted my perspective!****
I constantly overthink everything, and negativity permeates my entire being. I continuously punish myself for all the negative things that have happened because I feel entirely alone. I constantly weep, which makes me feel bad.
But after I started using this platform, I understood I could channel all my negative emotions into writing. This has been very helpful for me, especially in altering my behavior and becoming a better version of myself. I appreciate all the advice I have received from my online pals and the encouraging articles that help me feel better and go on.
*****Everything I had doubted I could do and alter for the better happened here.*****
Rusty assists me in various ways because of the tips that become my encouragement that help me pursue my goals and become the person I am today.
*****I am forever thankful to Him for allowing me to know more about myself.*****
***So, Rusty, I can't express my gratitude to you enough for shaping who I am now. But you always deserved all the love and respect in the community.***
As a result, I am glad to provide $0.20 in appreciation of your generosity to all of us. Once more, I want to thank you, @TheRandomRewarder!

This is my entry for the @Coolmidwestguy challenge. I appreciate you providing this community with yet another thrilling challenge, dear.

Tips for Setting Monthly Goals for a New Month
**You already know what a new month means: New month, new objectives!**
***A new month is an excellent opportunity to set new objectives!***
The chance to set fresh objectives is one of the most excellent aspects of a brand-new month. Every month, when a new one begins, I experience a surge of inspiration.
But, by about halfway through the new month, my new goals and objectives had already been shelved by the middle of the month. It can be challenging to continue working toward your goals after the initial motivation disappears.
It was challenging for ME, at least, until I discovered how to create new, attainable monthly goals.
***These are the most excellent suggestions for planning, carrying out, and reviewing my new monthly goals.***
**Setting goals for a new month**
You want fresh objectives for the next month. Setting them is the first step. I follow a few different processes when I want to set new goals for a new month. The essential step in completing objectives is choosing the proper plans. These steps help me narrow my dreams and determine precisely what to set.
**Consider the previous month.**
One of the best methods to develop is to reflect. I enjoy looking back as part of my end-of-the-month ritual. Reflection is incredibly helpful in moving forward, whether I had a good or difficult month.
**Be excited about the upcoming month.**
After some thought, it's time to anticipate the upcoming month! The enjoyable part is now that you can DREAM and PLAN!
I will make a list of my hopes and objectives for the coming month to get this process started. This can be as simple as rising 10 minutes earlier or as significant as purchasing.
**Prioritize and be realistic**.
While less enjoyable, this step is crucial if you want your new month's goals to stick.
You HAVE to be realistic and prioritize the objectives that matter to you. I have a lot of plans, but I'm so busy that trying to implement them all at once would take a lot of work.
***Setting priorities for your goals will help with this.***
List the objectives that stand out to you as critical or time-sensitive. A long-term goal you set purely for enjoyment will be put on hold if something MUST be done this month.
Even though setting new goals for the month is exciting, balancing your workload is crucial. I usually find it exhilarating to begin a new month with fresh objectives.
***Use the adage*** *****"new month, new goals"***** ***to your advantage to lead a better life!***
One method to assist you in concentrating on achieving your objectives is to adopt the "A new month, new goals" approach. These concepts are intended to get your creative juices flowing; you might have entirely different objectives.
**Remember to start making significant changes in your life when a new month begins.**
Let me share with you a photo of mine and my baby Quatro while working and setting my goals for May! (But sorry, she's tired) 🤣
Good evening everyone! It's been a week since I published my article here. So, how are you guys? Happy 1st month of May! May we achieve all our goals for this month!
Good Friends May Come In The Form Of Pets
**When you're stressed, your dog might be your best supporter.**
As many dog owners know, spending quality time with your pet can make them lifelong buddies. That is particularly true when circumstances make maintaining tight relationships with family and friends difficult.
The importance of your bond with your dog may increase if you move to a new place, retire, or spend time alone during a pandemic, for instance.
Dogs have a distinct talent for giving their owners unending affection and emotional support, particularly during intense stress. They provide a place to have fun and play and bring laughter and silliness into the house to help you stay in the moment rather than worrying endlessly about the future. According to studies, dogs can offer comfort that is at least as good as a close friend's.
The majority of pet owners are aware of the immediate benefits of having companion animals in their lives. However, many of us should be mindful of the advantages to our physical and mental health that come with cuddling with a furry buddy.
In recent years, stress, sadness, and anxiety have become more common among us. Getting closer to your dog will benefit you physically and mentally as you deal with the stress brought on by the pandemic and its effects. Your dog can assist with the following:
**Lower levels of depression.**
All pet owners have been found to experience less depression and reduced tension. Playing with your dog can raise your brain's levels of the calming chemicals serotonin and dopamine.
**Be less stressed.**
Your pulse rate will slow down, and your blood pressure will drop when you pet your dog. Dogs bring up feelings of love that can favorably battle Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms by enhancing your mood and reducing stress.
**Add companionship.**
A source of companionship and friendship, companion dogs ease the emotional and physical toll of loneliness.
Animals have evolved to be highly sensitive to us, our behavior, and our emotions. Dogs can comprehend many of our words, for instance, but they are much more adept at reading our tone of voice, body language, and gestures. A devoted dog will also glance into your eyes, just like a close human companion would, to assess your mental condition and attempt to comprehend your thoughts and feelings.
I'm happy that Quatro positively affects my life. She knows my moods and is there when I'm lonely, joyful, or depressed. She never leaves me alone in my room, giving the impression that she is always there for me in times of need.
Even though we cannot communicate vocally, her hugging and gestures give me the impression that she does.
Quatro, my dog, was my dearest friend and an excellent companion.
As a result, today is a holiday in our country, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to spend time with her after a demanding week.
Who are you? Do you own pets you see as your best friends or buddies?
Good evening to all! happy weekend!
The Depressing Reality of Being a Breadwinner
*Being the family's primary provider, one thing that brings me joy is meeting all of our needs.*
*Yet I will admit that there have been days when I've felt poor and alone. I don't always have money, and I don't always have enough.*
**So now comes the most depressing aspect of being the main provider.**
***The blame is always yours.***
One thing that really tears my heart is how they always make me feel guilty about the things we lack, especially when it comes to money. It seems entirely my fault that they are struggling and are unable to purchase the goods they require and desire. There are times when I feel as though they are ignoring me. The responsibility is always mine, and it stings to feel like they only recognize you when you give them everything, but if you have nothing, they will never realize how valuable you are.
***No Time to Rest***
Due to the fact that I am constantly being blamed, it feels like I have no right to rest, regardless of how ill or fatigued I am. This sense of inadequacy is incredibly distressing. Even if I'd like to sleep and rest for as long as I'd like, I'm unable to. I currently have a fever, but I have bills that are due soon, so I have to work. In addition, my parents' medication needs to be maintained, so I have to work and hustle hard right now and sleep late.
***No Time for Emotional Breakdown***
In addition to not having time to rest, I also don't have time to be depressed or cry because doing so will cause me to lose my composure and my perspective. Hence, I must move past all of my heavy emotions and keep moving forward, even when it is difficult. I must continue working all day, even though I am in distress.
*And I felt bad for myself every time someone asked me, "When will you choose yourself?”*
Every time someone asks me this question, I cry silently and it breaks my heart because I see other people my age already having their own families. They were enjoying their 20s to the fullest and were at their happiest.
So now I am asking myself, is being a breadwinner a good thing? Alternatively, it may simply make you feel burdened by everyone else's obligations and responsibilities for all of their shortcomings.
I apologize for my rants because today I was feeling down. Of course, these kinds of days will pass, and I'm still holding out hope for brighter times ahead. I know that my recent emotional outbursts are simply a result of my feeling unwanted and appreciated.
*I apologize for my ranting, but today I was feeling down. Of course, these kinds of days will pass, but I'm still holding out hope for brighter times ahead. I know that my recent emotional outbursts are simply a result of my feeling wan and appreciated.*
But, I know that eventually, their happiness will still be my happiness. They are still the reason for my motivation to work and the part of my life I cannot turn my back away from.
**Just that I wish God would bless me more so that I might bless others too. I'd like to have more so I can do and help more.**
Here is a photo of me smiling despite my suffering and battling on.
Good evening everyone! It’s been days since I posted here, how’s everyone?
When you decide to let go, don't go back!
I understand that you once cherished those moments. You can do this! Remain in the "present," and stay with God!
It would be best if you didn't keep thinking back on the past. You're already here. Go on moving. Lord will stand up for you. Even if you may miss some things and people, you should consciously choose to be happy where you are right now.
On some days, you may consciously avoid images that might bring up that season or your past. And it's alright. You are permitted to sway. You're entitled to experience weakness from time to time.
****It's OK to break.****
If something isn't right, it's acceptable not to act like it is. It's OK to crumble. You're allowed to be angry. Weep if you need to. Once correctly processed and expressed, those feelings are beneficial. It implies that you fought for something that you held in high regard. Trust that God will put you back together as you go along.
But you need to turn around. Get up. Activate that smile once more. You will find plenty of sunshine waiting for you. The coming of spring is imminent. You are now being released by the cold season.
****Beloved, dance with your new season.****
*God is advising us to set the past aside so that we can get new testimonies.*
God will see you through and complete the work He began in you. You've gone this far; it's alright to take a break; even when you take a break, you'll still finish the marathon.
You'll realize when you look back that your scars have given you strength, and your wounds have given you stories.
****You are part of God's plan.****
***This is a gentle reminder that God already has plans for you to prosper rather than harm you, even before you think of your own.***
You need to ask Him, look for His will, wait for His promises, and take pleasure in Him. You won't ever be let down or abandoned if you put your faith in God rather than your plans.
****In God's timeline****
God's timeline never wastes a cause. No matter your situation's difficulty, God will use it to bring you closer to Him. In light of this, I implore you to seek, adore, and trust God more. He is a God who does not let the pain go to waste.
****I have a deep conviction that everything happens for a reason.****
God may use an unexpected delay to keep you safe. A prayer being granted may be God's redirection. God may be using a protracted waiting period to teach you how to perceive and be patient.
So keep this in mind the next time you want to complain: God sees the broader picture. He is up to something, and I surrender.
*These are the ideas that keep returning to my head as I'm walking. This is a friendly reminder for everyone, and I would appreciate it if you gave it your full attention.*
Good evening to all! Enjoy your weekend, guys! God bless.
Look After Yourself While You Can!
I recently found a post about a girl who put in much effort because she was the family's primary breadwinner. She neglects to take breaks since she is focused on working hard and doing everything she can to support her family.
She neglects to visit the church to seek God's protection for her well-being and safety. She fully dedicates herself to her family.
She neglects to eat healthy meals and has a coffee addiction. The worst part about her is that she enjoys eating instant noodles and can go for two days without sleeping. She was self-sufficient and never sought out assistance.
Then, she received a cancer diagnosis a year later. Despite being depressed, she continued to work. Despite her circumstances, she continues to work since she needs to save money for her medication. Unfortunately, she was also a victim of an "investment fraud," and the con artists who took advantage of her converted all of her money into ashes.
Days went by, and she got worse. She had to sell some of her investments and properties because she lost a lot of money and underwent surgery.
I cried and worried about myself as I read her story. During my annual checkup last year, I recall that the doctor found tiny particles (kidney stones) in my left and right kidneys. I was required to take my prescriptions for three months, but after a few months, I stopped taking them when my mother developed kidney infections due to her diabetes. I decided to cease my mother's medicine because I was the only one in the family to work.
Because I don't have time to prepare meals and am addicted to coffee, I also enjoy some instant foods. I work hard every day and occasionally don't get enough sleep since I only want to take care of my family.
I immediately start crying, and then I understand everything. I have been thinking about several things. *****Does God want me to learn everything through this? Is this God's way of capturing my attention so I can see what I stand to lose if I neglect my need for rest?*****
**I'm currently taking things carefully myself.**
I was led to believe that the "title" I required was productivity. I had to make the massive acts "worthy" to be loved, and over time, I grew weary. I worked diligently on each duty and finished them, but I should be doing better. It had an empty feeling.
**That's when I realized the power of the term "relax"; although it didn't make my tasks go away, I had more time to boost myself. At first, it seemed odd to put my own needs ahead of other people's expectations of me. I felt anxious. But I also thought about the advantages of taking some time off. I'm glad I went with myself now.**
***Everyone who sacrifices everything about herself for the benefit of others should take note of this. This serves as a reminder always to remember God, to take time to relax, and to take care of yourself while you can!***
Good evening to all! What's up?
Work hard, but remember to take breaks!
Loving All My Curves!
***The body reflects the mind and spirit like water reflects the stars and the moon.***
Change your thoughts to change your body. Everything is possible for our bodies. We need to persuade our minds.
Many of us have accepted that changing your body is necessary for loving your body and your life. But you don't have to lose weight to appreciate your curves!
It's harder to practice self-love when we wish to appreciate our curves but can't help but compare our bodies to others. Everything life throws our way can make us feel insufficient, insecure, or unattractive. In those days, some see a warped image of themselves in the mirror, and nothing is acceptable.
That may sound excessive, but beating yourself up and being negative worsens the situation. Please choose the most compassionate, loving thing you can do for yourself, and do it. You'll feel better.
There is always something you can do right now to build yourself up rather than tear yourself down. Follow constructive action. Have sympathy for oneself. And on every curve in your body. The only thing that counts is how you see yourself. Make sure you are accepting yourself completely.
**Women should embrace their curves for these five reasons.**
1. For others to truly love you, you must first love yourself. If you embrace your curves, you'll feel better about yourself, stand straighter, and exude more confidence, all of which will rub off on other people.
2. You must be a good role model for the kids. Never forget the influence your confidence has on children. If you repeatedly put yourself down before them, the kids will hang onto that. They can experience the same problems later.
3. It'll improve your romantic life. If you stop being ashamed of your curves and start embracing them, your love life will improve. You won't be fully open to romance when you don't feel gorgeous. Yet, when you're in a good mood, your attitude will shine through and radically alter the nature of a connection. It might ruin the experience for both parties to be in a romantic setting and worry, "I wonder whether my spouse realizes my stomach isn't as firm as it used to be."
4. Curves are lovely. It's time to accept the beauty of your curves. Nothing beats a curvy woman in a perfectly tailored dress or pair of jeans. Play up those curves and quit feeling self-conscious about them because they are lovely.
5. There are several different ideal body types. Only some of us are designed to be sizes two or four because we are all constructed differently. Understand that the female body is lovely and that we should begin to adore and value it. It's time to quit worrying so much about what the size label on our clothing says. Celebrate your curves because they are feminine and gorgeous!
*Remember that our body is superbly designed, and our mind is incapable of comparison. The thoughts "I'm hot, I'm worthy, and I'm deserving of every curve on my body" should be allowed to enter your head*.
**Make sure you are accepting yourself completely.**
I'm struggling with Consistency!
*"I'm doing everything I can, but why am I having trouble maintaining consistency?" "Does this describe you?*
*You get that momentum going, giving it your all, hustling left and right, and then BOOM - your effort and motivation expire as quickly as the food you promised yourself you'd eat but ended up throwing out.*
**Leaving you frustrated and wondering, "Why am I not consistent?" about something so basic and insignificant.**
**WHY IS CONSISTENCY SO DIFFICULT?**
*The brain has a complicated relationship with consistency.*
Consistency entails repetition and the idea of repeating the same activity repeatedly in your mind. And because character entails feeling like a broken record, you end up being dissuaded from it altogether.
Here's the thing: when we set goals, we often focus too much on motivation. When motivated, we naturally develop a full-fledged plan for achieving our goals, which are usually extreme. So, for a few days or even weeks, we can maintain our motivation and stick to the rigorous plan we devised. But then we lose motivation, life interferes, and we're disappointed that we didn't stick to the ridiculously intense plan we created when we were motivated.
*I was curious to learn how others can hold themselves accountable to a daily, weekly, or monthly project or set a schedule of tasks and work tirelessly to complete them as someone who struggles with consistency and sticking to new habits.*
**I discovered over the last few days, while struggling with my mind due to inconsistency, that:**
***I'm focused on the result.***
I have ambitions and dreams that I want to realize! However, I became more focused on the outcome rather than the growth. Instead of reminding myself of the small victories I achieve daily, I tell myself that I am still a long way from reaching my goals. In reality, I'm much closer now than I was before I got started.
***So I'm reminding myself of my WHYs right now.***
Everything I do in life has a purpose. My motivation must be strong for me to stick to my goals. My why must be so personal and meaningful that I am motivated to continue. I need to push myself to think about why I like consistency. I must be specific and in-depth.
*Previously, missing a day of writing could demotivate me to the point of not writing for 3 or 4 days. Ignoring even more days, I punished myself for missing the first day. It didn't make any sense.*
*I miss days in writing, which is why I used to beat myself up about it.*
*But now I say, "Ok, you've missed a writing day. Start writing again tomorrow." If I have ten minutes to spare, I open my laptop and begin writing.*
Good morning everyone! It's a long weekend :) I hope you enjoyed the rest of the days, reflected on this holy week, and remembered how God saved us from our sins.
God bless everyone!
Are You Summer Ready?
In the summer, good weather, free time, habit changes, and new social plans positively impact your body and mind. Summer is typically associated with a wide range of positive experiences. The holidays have arrived. It is possible to unwind and disconnect from everyday life.
Summer preparations necessitate effort. There are only so many activities, places to visit, and funds available for this brief period of fun and relaxation. We hope to be at our best physically and mentally this summer. Everyone has their summer agenda, complete with goals and aspirations, but some items should be on everyone's summer-ready checklist.
**Summer should be about spending quality time with friends, relaxing, and exploring new places. Nonetheless, "bikini season" brings out many women's insecurities, and I am one of them.**
Every fitness journey is unique, as are our body types, goals, and concerns. And it motivates me to work harder as summer approaches.
***Never give up! Summer is approaching, and it's time to start planning.***
**You can start doing some things to stay productive, healthy, excited, and motivated this summer. So, here are some:**
**Increase your exercise frequency.**
Swimsuit season is quickly approaching, and while everyone has a beach body, you'll want to look and feel good in your favorite suit. With the warmer weather, you'll be even more motivated to get out and be active.
**Create a summer bucket list.**
Making a summer bucket list is one of my favorite ways to get pumped for the season. One of the best ways to get excited about your vacation is to imagine all the activities you can do.
**Detox and eat nutritiously**
Again, you'll want to feel confident this summer, so pay closer attention to what you put into your body. And it's not just about "looking good" - eat well to have more energy and be more active.
**Plan, plan, plan**
If you're planning a big summer vacation, you should start planning now! Make daily plans, start planning your outfits, and decide what you want to do on your trip so you don't have to worry about it later.
**Begin saving your money.**
You can work a few extra shifts and sell old clothes. Save money now so you have more freedom to participate in fun activities this summer.
**Spend a little more time on yourself.**
Make a point of doing things that make you feel confident. Continue caring for your skin, eating well, exercising, and keeping an active mind to prepare for a beautiful, productive, and happy summer.
**Summer is typically associated with a wide range of positive experiences. The holidays have arrived. It is possible to unwind and disconnect from everyday life. However, mental and physical health benefits go beyond these good summer energies.**
**Time spent with loved ones, meeting new people, and strengthening bonds all contribute to a happy mind.**
I am sharing my summer outfit from last year. I could wear this again because I have gained weight over the past few months.
But still, I am manifesting that I still have the confidence and make my summer ready!
Good morning everyone. How are you? I hope everyone is okay.
I’m so proud of the woman I’m becoming.
***My perspective has changed.***
***My values have changed.***
***My preferences have changed.***
***My tolerance level has changed.***
***I adore this version of myself.***
***I'm changing, and I'm ready for it.***
In my previous article, I stated that little progress is better than no progress. I'm trying to change everything, starting with the way I think and the perception I have of everything. And the more I thought about it, the more I realized that everything should begin within me. I should start working on myself to improve things for the better.
It's not just the problems and difficulties that come my way. It doesn't matter what other people think or say about me. It's not about the criticism that the world heaps on me; it's all about myself, all about me.
There are so many things I want to do in life that many of my accomplishments are insignificant. Even the list of dreams I've had to give up on is growing, and every time I go back to the drawing board to figure out how to make things work out for those I'm still fighting for, nothing makes sense.
It's exhausting and depressing. I get emotional just thinking about it, but I always keep a straight face. I make it through the days by talking to the stars at night. I tell them about my dreams and how I believe it's only a matter of time before my turn comes. I promise them that I will not let the world get the best of me and that I will always hold on just a little longer when I feel like giving up..
I promise to feel everything when the time comes. To let down my guard and cry the tears I'd been holding back. But, in the meantime, I'll keep fighting for my little dreams, knowing that there are good things in this universe just for me.
Just like one of my favorite lines from ate Jeaneth's song "Ngiti at Pighati."
***Minsan ang buhay aymay kabiguan.***
***Hindi mo alam maghihirap ka nanaman.***
***Pero kahit anong unos ang daraan***
***Lging isipin na kaya mo yan***
***Ang buhay ay laro***
***Minasan panalo minsan bigo***
***Di mo alam kung saan patungo***
***Ang buhay ay laro, minsan panalo, minsan bigo***
***Minsan may ngiti, minsay may pighati.***
***Minsan ang buhay, ay may kasiyahan***
***Biyaya ay darating kahit d mo asahan***
***Sakunting dasal, at wagas na panalangin.***
***Matutoad di kahit ano man ang hlingin.***
Every time I'm feeling down, this song becomes the soundtrack to my life. Thank you very much, Ate @Jeneath, for this wonderful song.
It means to me that life is like a game in which we sometimes win and sometimes lose. We never know where our lives will take us. Sometimes we laugh, and other times we cry. However, there will come a time when blessings will come unexpectedly. Simply pray, and God will grant your request.
**So today, I am proud of the woman I have become and of who I will become in the coming years.**
Good evening, everyone. I hope everything is well with you and the platform. The updates also amazed me. God bless everyone, and let us all pray for better days ahead.
Today is Friyay! 🥰 Happy Weekend everyone.
The First Impression Rose; Meeting You For The First Time
*I made a lifelong friend in this virtual world, where nothing is real.*
*Tonight, I'll be able to interact with my online friends at an event hosted by @Coolmidwestguy, one of the most extraordinary members of the Read Cash Community.*
I'm not adept at attracting attention to myself in a crowd because everyone has a distinct personality and individuality that makes them stand out.
**I am TeacherLynlyn and this is how I will introduce myself to him.**
**After introducing my name, I'm the one who will give a rose to @Coolmidwestguy because he deserves it.**
***Here are the reasons why:***
**First**
He motivates me to be proud of my career despite being only a simple writer and teacher. He assisted me in understanding why God chose to place me as a teacher in a remote area so that I could be with my Aeta Learners, and he inspires me even more to become n effective teacher.
**Second**
His generosity makes a difference in the lives of others, including mine. He is the angel sent from above by God. His kindness is why others, including my students, find happiness for the first time. I will be eternally grateful to him for filling my student's Christmas with love and surprises.
**Third**
When the sudden goodbye of the "random rewarder" affects some members here, he tries to keep this community alive even if others lose faith in this platform. He works hard and contributes his money to support some of us to the best of his ability.
***As a result, Sir, you deserve my salute!***
**Furthermore, as a tribute to everything you've done, I wrote a short poem that I would read in front of everyone, and I hope you enjoy it.**
***Unexpected Friendship***
*You came along of a sudden;*
*A stranger that becomes a friend;*
*You make friends with me without hesitation,*
*And you're indeed a great person.*
*I never believed that I was a great one,*
*But you make me feel the reason why.*
*I'm just a simple teacher,*
*But you make me feel greater.*
*Your generosity helps a lot*
*In this community, you have a heart;*
*You're always there to support*
*And give life here without a second thought.*
*I am forever grateful for the friendship;*
*The friendship that I will never shift.*
*You will live forever in my heart,*
*You're the BEST friend I ever had!*
**This is how I'll introduce myself to you at the event. I wonder if I would stand out among the other great people here.**
**I'll never let the night pass without giving you the rose and reading my poem. And I can assure you that meeting you all in person, especially you, my friend will be a great pleasure for me.**
*God bless you, and may you continue to inspire this community. You deserve all the goodness in the world.*
***You are a friend from the virtual world who connects with me more than a real-world friend.***
Everyone, good evening!
This is my response to @Coolmidwestguy's challenge in his article https://read.cash/@Coolmidwestguy/a-dream-of-virtual-accounts-d1f6b2fa
I hope everyone can read it; it would be a wonderful dream to meet you all as well. Having dinner and a great conversation would be a lot of fun.
Everyone, take care! God bless all of us.
It's A Happy Weekend!
*I look forward to weekends because, besides resting, I can spend time with my family and loved ones.*
*Based on the last article I shared with you, I've realized how important it is to spend time with your family and cherish every moment with them. We can't predict what tomorrow will bring, so let's make every day count and be treasured and remembered for the rest of our lives.*
*When it comes to happiness, it all comes down to spending time with the people you care about and creating memories that will last a lifetime.*
*We went to a nearby creek in our town the last time. It was a creek with crystal clear water. It can undoubtedly refresh your body and mind due to its cold and crystal water. We had a great time eating delicious food and swimming in a creek.* We also played some games to make it more exciting and joyful.
**Spend Time with Your Family**
**Spending time with family was one of the most important ways to create memorable moments to spend time with family.** Nothing can substitute for the time you spend with your family. Making time for family can be more difficult for older children and teenagers who would rather spend time with their friends.
**Spending time with family and friends can be one of the most complicated, especially when studying and working.** Cultivating strong relationships with family and loved ones can be a wellspring of blessings if we find the love, acceptance, and companionship that makes us happy. But it doesn't happen automatically, and sometimes it isn't easy; good relationships often take hard work and a lot of time, but in the end, they are worth it for the happiness they bring into our lives.
**If you spent more time with your family and loved ones you can help yourself to improve your relationships with everyone and make them more vital than ever. Your happy moments are better when you spend them with them, and it’s best when you shared your struggles too; it can help you mentally and emotionally.**
Start to have a simple conversation through breakfast or dinner, and do some outdoor activities such as walking or a picnic on a beach. Better to have some activities or games that everyone in your family will enjoy and encourage them to have more wonderful is to spend your time together and bond more often.
**We may not be the same, but nothing’s more important than family.**
Sunday should remove all of the rust from the week!
Please don't let Sunday pass you by!
**Sundays are always the best days to be the person you want to be. Spend time praising the Lord, and have a marvelous Sunday with your family and loved ones!**
Good morning everyone! Happy Weekends. I hope everyone is fine and doing well.
*I just wanted to thank everyone who took the time to read my articles. Thank you for the upvote; it was a pleasure to have you in this wonderful community. God bless you all, and once again, thank you for your love and support! This was extremely significant to me.*
A Sudden Goodbye
*We were struck by the news last Friday that one of the teachers and a friend had died from being electrocuted. This news saddens and pains all of the teachers in our town.*
*Let's call him Sir Emil. Sir Emil was known for being cheerful, sweet, gentlemanly, and kind. He can brighten someone's day by simply making them laugh. He is an excellent teacher to his students.*
*The last year 2022, he married and had a child. Anaya Graisen, his baby girl, was only six months old. We are deeply sorry not only for ourselves as friends and colleagues but also for his family.*
*So when we got to visit him during his night vigil, the tears kept flowing, and it felt like something in our hearts made us feel so helpless.*
***I suppose that's what life is like unpredictable and uncontrollable.***
**And here are my current realizations:**
***The most painful goodbyes are sudden ones.***
Everything is lovely, and then, suddenly, and sometimes unexpectedly, someone abandons you. It's terrifying to leave the safety and security of what you know behind and venture into the unknown. It's also unfortunate because you'll be leaving some people behind. It can happen in various unexpected ways or forms when it comes to saying goodbye. When a loved one dies, the heart aches for days, months, years, or even a lifetime.
*Goodbyes are difficult because they mark the end of one story and the start of another.*
***Life is far too brief.***
Every person on the planet is living on borrowed time. We never know when our last days will be, so we must all begin living as if there will be no tomorrow. We must start doing things that scare us, things we enjoy, trying new things, and doing anything because life is too short for "what ifs."
*Our clocks are ticking, so we need to get out there and live like there is no tomorrow, as if today was our last day on earth, so make the most of the moments in your life.*
**Life is too short to be upset, and you won't get this life again; you won't get the same time again, so enjoy each day and make every day count; spend time with your loved ones, spend time with someone who makes you happy, spend time with yourself and love yourself.**
These were the things that made me realize what had happened. I understand how difficult it is, but I am praying for the healing of all hearts for their loss.
Good evening everyone! I hope everyone is okay. Let's spread love and be loved! God bless us all.
A Little Progress is a Progress!
*Today is Monday; first and foremost, I'd like to thank everyone who advised me on my previous article; I appreciate it, guys; it means a lot to me.*
*And as a result of your kind words, I analyzed myself and realized I was burning myself out. The more I tried, the more disappointed I became.*
So I'm taking things slowly today. I take a break and watch some Korean dramas, which helps to relieve my stress. And I'm eating more of my favorite foods and talking with my friends and colleagues.
***And here are some of the things I started doing today.***
To begin my day, I prayed and surrendered everything to the Lord, knowing that I rely on Him for everything I do.
Then, to help manage my time, I made a list of essential tasks to complete and accomplish one at a time. To avoid overthinking, I allow myself to think positively and double-check that I've done something to ensure I'm productive for the day.
I also take breaks from my tutors. Now is the time for me to concentrate on my writing platforms. So I'm not as exhausted today; I know I'm trying to get everything back on track with my system, and I'm treating myself with self-love and care now, and it's satisfying.
**I'm still far from where I want to be, but progress is better than none.**
I know there are no shortcuts to significantly changing our way of life. We cannot expect them to transform our lives overnight magically. No, it is not going to happen. What we can control is our consistent efforts to move forward. Consistent. That is the word. You will undoubtedly reach your goal if you make consistent progress. It will take time to see results, but they will appear if you persevere.
**Even the most minor efforts count.**
All that matters, in the end, is that you keep moving forward and staying consistent. I'll get closer to achieving my goal or forming a new habit every day. I don't climb a ladder in one giant leap; I take one action at a time. After taking one step, I take another and another until I arrive at my destination.
This will be my driving force, the fuel that will propel me to wake up every day energized to pursue my dreams. So, once I've decided on a big goal, I must break it down into smaller, more manageable steps I can take daily.
***I will never change my life until I change something I do daily; the secret of my success is in my daily routine."***
***Small daily disciplines lead to outstanding achievements gained gradually over time.***
Good evening everyone! How are you today? I hope you start your Monday with a smile! Let's stay positive, and hope for better days to come. God bless us all! And here is my selfie for tonight! 🤗
I am trying to get back on my track!
In my previous article, I mentioned that I was feeling unmotivated. Some things make me feel so weak; lately, it's been family, career, and personal issues that I can't get out of my head, but I can't figure out what's bothering me.
But first, let me explain some of my issues and why I've felt so uneasy lately.
**The first concern is family matters.**
As the breadwinner, I meet all of my family's needs. Every day, I work and hustle to ensure I can provide them with everything they require. But lately, I've felt very emotional, as if I'm alone and unappreciated. I'm unsure, but I sometimes get overly emotional when tired. So there are times when I doubt my worth and significance.
**Second, there are issues with my career.**
I had already submitted my requirements for my promotion last year, but our division abruptly announced last week that our promotion had been halted "for a while" due to a loss of funds. This is heartbreaking news. I put in much effort to ensure I am qualified with those papers. But that is life, and we have no control over it; all I can do is accept and wait for my moment.
**The third issue is finding time for my side hustles.**
My daily routine has already been mentioned here. Every day after school, I have to work as a tutor. So, when I got home at 5:30 or 6:00 p.m. every day, I had to devote 2 to 3 hours to my tutors. After tutoring, I must make time for other side hustles on writing platforms. So I only get 2-3 hours of sleep every day. This is why I was so exhausted and drained every day.
**My mind is exhausted from overthinking what and how to let go of things, but no matter how hard I try, I can't get rid of any of them. So far, I've been so upset with myself that I can't make a decision.**
*I want to spend more time managing my accounts on my platforms, and I know I have to let go of some of my tutors, but I'm worried about leaving the children behind and what their parents will say if I do.*
**I can't let go of some things, so I'm having trouble figuring out what's bothering me.**
**These things cause me to overthink. I can't decide whether to let some things go or go with the flow, and the longer I think about it, the more stagnant and demotivated I become.**
***This time I should take a break and reflect on everything. I hope everything turns out well.***
Good afternoon everyone! I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Take care and be safe, everyone!
This is how I've been lately!
*Hello there, Read. Cash! It's been a long time. This past month has been challenging; busy days knock me down, and failures knock on my door.*
I can't even express how frustrated I am with what has occurred; I've become somewhat demotivated and weakened by what has happened to me.
**So that's how I've been lately.**
I am aware that I am not in good health. Sometimes I makeup emotions to mask the real ones, listen to stories to distract myself, and watch movies to feel less alone in these uncomfortable feelings and situations.
I'm struggling now but I don't want the people around me to know. It's been difficult to pretend that I have almost everything under control when, in fact, I'm mucking things up and don't know what to do. I know it's difficult to talk about the things running through my mind lately because I no longer understand myself. Some things need to go my way, and others start to go wrong.
*Sometimes I question my life and the difficulties I face. It's difficult to pretend I'm having sunny days when I have storms.*
Knowing that the vulnerable me has no place in this world hurts me. As a result, I write them. I write them because everything in my "written me" is adjustable and therapeutic, and nothing hits me so hard when I'm alone. Because, in my "tired me," every second of people who showed up is significant. Not because this is "me lately," but because I will always be like this. I promise this "me" will be fine and even better.
**I'm doing my best.**
*Trying your hardest only sometimes implies pushing yourself past your limits.*
It's not always about pushing myself out of my comfort zone and into the unknown. Trying my best is as simple as getting out of bed, making coffee, and hoping there is more to see in life.
**I know it isn't easy, but I don't want to give up. This isn't just my battle; I know I'm not alone in this bottle. I am aware that I have God. Even when things don't go as planned, I trust in His plan. I'll make it through. I'll be strong and keep fighting while taking breaks!**
**I am manifesting a good and positive future!**
I miss writing here; how are you all?
**It's already March, and I'm hoping for good callings, the right opportunities, blessings, and unexpected good news and growth for all of us.**
**This month will also be the month for people ready to embark on new life phases and chapters.**
**This will also be a month of healing for those who are disappointed, have doubts, or have lost their self-esteem and confidence.**
Positivity Over Rants; Self Reflections
The last several days have been difficult. Things that used to make me happy, peaceful, and motivated appear to have lost their potency. No matter how hard I try to feel better, the unpleasant feelings always seem to sneak up on me like a thief. The saddest aspect is that I want to express my feelings to everyone, but I resist doing so—not because I lack bravery, but rather because getting out of bed and going about my daily business while everything inside of me is disintegrating is sad enough.
It has been quite difficult. But perhaps life really does come in waves like this. Time will pass before we realize that certain things no longer resonate with us the way they once did; perhaps we have changed. And when certain days are difficult and weighty, I step back to determine what's wrong. Thus, it occasionally fails and just makes the weight heavier.
***I lack the motivation to go on, and I'm worried I don't like how I sigh.***
Everything is growing heavier and darker, and I'm feeling exhausted and suffocated. I wanted to tell everyone that O needed their hug, but I was afraid I could snap at them. I'm not sure what's causing this grief, to be honest. I was really shocked and jolted by the realization that I couldn't wake up every morning without a heavy heart. I need this to end because I'm completely lost in this blue.
**I've lately learned how to create a safe space for myself where I can let all the sadness out and safely feel my feelings. I feel better about this than attempting to comprehend everything at once. And after all the commotion has subsided, I attempt to look at myself objectively, as if I were someone else, to evaluate how I'm actually doing. I could then be honest with myself and determine what was best for me since, no matter what, I will always be glad for the opportunity I have to start over every day.**
**I've developed the ability to recognize my own emotions and never allow them to control me. Being emotionally in control will always keep your future restricted to the level of your feelings. Therefore, you will only act morally upright when you feel like it. Oh, today I just wasn't feeling it. Then you should have faith because Christ is greater than your feelings. You didn't put your faith in Christ because of your feelings.**
*Keep in mind that even the strongest grow fatigued.*
Therefore, if you've been doing your best to battle difficulties after problems, storms after storms, and challenges after struggles lately, realize that this season is only passing. This will eventually pass. God is engaged in battle with you. He'll never abandon you,
You don't need to battle every day, so take some time to recuperate. Be kind to yourself and have faith that things will get better. Always show up. God's tender embrace has encompassed everything—including provision, opened doors, plot twists, miracles, blessings, acquaintances, and answers to prayers.
**You are not forgotten, the Lord declares.**
Wishing everyone well! What's up everyone? Please bear with me as I rant here and use writing to express my emotions because I have been feeling so lonely and depressed lately. I now feel relieved and somehow joyful. I sincerely hope you are still reading this, and I will be grateful.
But let me share with you my selfies for today as I need to hide the sadness in my eyes. Hehe.
Good evening to all! By the way, have a lovely weekend. :)
Gulayan sa Paaralan Project; The Benefits and the Purpose!
Even though we may believe we nurture our gardens, Jenny Uglow once said, "Our gardens are naturing us."
We chose to work on our "Gulayan sa Paaralan Project" (Vegetable Garden for Our School Project) last Friday after my students' second periodical. We have our own respectable space to work on, and it would be a school-based contest, so my students are incredibly enthusiastic to complete it.
And what enthused them even more was the promise of a reward if we succeeded. Every time we work in our garden, I buy them snacks to energise them. Therefore whenever we work on our Gulayan, they are so happy. Given that farming is their primary source of food and money, it also follows that my Aeta students are excellent gardeners. Therefore, they are skilled at making our Gulayan sa Paaaralan.
These days, projects of this nature for our school are crucial. The Gulayan sa Paaralan Program, also known as the GPP, strives to build an understanding of agriculture as a life support system and to enhance food security in our public schools and communities. In summary, Gulayan sa Paaralan contributes significantly to the success of the school-based feeding program by offering kids a reassuringly healthy cuisine, assisting the administration in improving nutritional status, and subtly instilling values and the value of agriculture.
The school is a fundamental base for knowledge and learning and is the perfect location for a project like "Gulayan sa Paaralan." The kids will gain from it in terms of sustainability, the value of these veggies, their vitamins and nutrients, and the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle.
By converting these vacant areas into a sparsely vegetated pasture, we may transform the school into a tranquil setting and raise awareness among the student body about the benefits of a balanced diet.
In conclusion, the "Gulayan sa Paaralan" project, when entirely executed, would benefit the school and its student body and the community as a whole because the project will serve as an example for the community and raise their awareness of the value of a green environment.
In addition, our students learned the significance and advantages of this initiative and how it fosters positive relationships with their classmates. Cooperation and teamwork are more important for them since they would eventually help them become better people.
*So, I took the opportunity to take some photos of them while working.*
Good evening! Happy Weekends everyone!
My Best Days Ever
**On January 23, I turned 27 years old.**
**Before everything else...**
*Please understand how proud I am of you. You may have made a few quieter movements. But you still need to make significant progress. Perhaps you engaged in wars nobody knew about behind closed doors. But despite everything, you persevered and prevailed. I want you to know that I see you, regardless of anything you may have dealt with, experienced, or are now dealing with. And I sincerely hope that this new chapter in your life has everything you deserve and a little more.*
*I am proud of you self!*
**It's essential to remember that as you age, phases of connectedness and feelings of isolation or loneliness are typical. In your 20s and 30s, thinness can fluctuate significantly. People begin to settle down, depart for new cities, and take the necessary steps to create their future. When there is so much change around you, and you can see your life shifting from what it once was to what it is today, it is only natural to feel lost or alone. Don't overthink these feelings; realize that they are all a part of your journey as you grow and change. Recognize that each of us processes all of these changes uniquely. Recognize that experiencing diverse emotions during this transitional time is entirely natural. Remember that you have a lot of support behind you, no matter how alone you feel.**
*In my 27th year of existence, here are the best things that happened in my life so far:*
**First is being an Indigenous Teacher at the age of 22:**
Being an Indigenous educator is an immense delight, as I've said numerous times in this community. It will always be the greatest gift that God ever gave me, and it happened in the 27th year of my life. Being with kids is the best experience and one I will cherish for the rest of my life, even if I may not express how grateful I am to be their teacher here.
They are the best students I have ever had!
**At the age of 23, I built a house for my family and parents:**
As I indicated here, I provide for the family's financial needs. Even though it can be challenging, I like knowing I can support my parents and family. Others frequently questioned me. Others may perceive me as a selfless woman who has little time for fun or pleasure, but I couldn't care less since, in my heart, I am happiest when I am taking care of my family.
Therefore, the moment I was able to build my parents' home, it was already a huge accomplishment for me. I will never forget my parents' joy when we could finally reside in our home. In addition, caring for them shows my appreciation for them—not because they helped shape who I am today, but rather because it is the act of love.
**I earned my Master's degree at age 25:**
I had self-doubt, but I overcame my initial doubts and succeeded. My Master's degree is not simple to obtain. In terms of learning and money, I had a lot of difficulties. I often consider giving up and losing all hope, but God continually reminds me that these challenges will all be worthwhile. I wrote my own book and paid for all of my tuition.
**Being here on this platform for about seven months:**
Being on this platform has contributed to my journey's most significant plot twist, among other things. Being a part of this group is a blessing to me. I enjoy being here, mainly because it has given me so many virtual friends that I would never have thought might impact my life.
**Thank everyone, for making me feel so welcome in this community.**
I appreciate everyone who gave me a warm greetings that I'll never forget. Thank you for being around here, I appreciate you all so much. I pray that God will grant you more incredible blessings in life.
Thank you so much @Coolmidwestguy for giving us this kind of topic that makes me feel great and remember all of my achievements in life.
Once again, thank you so much!
The Happenings in My Life
***Too sweet not to share this.***
While getting ready to go home on Friday afternoon, I found a piece of paper with a letter on it on my table. I was deeply touched by what I read in the note when I first opened it.
As stated in the note:
***Dear Teacher***
***Your eyes look so tired, but you’re still beautiful. Thank you for teaching us even though you are tired and we are so naughty. I love you, Teacher***
***Cleth***
When I read the letter from Cleth, one of my dearest students, I started crying.
I'm happy and sad all at once. I was astonished that they could tell I was exhausted by looking into my eyes. I'm so touched that they can sense me while I'm silent.
They can recognize that I am doing my best despite everything around me. But what saddens me is that even if I don't want them to worry or feel sorry for me because I'm exhausted or depressed, they still notice it even if I don't say anything.
The fact that they still think I'm beautiful despite my trying times in life makes me joyful and giggle at the same time while reading this letter.
Despite not having any free time, I will always be grateful for what I have in life and what I have now.
**Let us all be happy and forever grateful to the individuals who make us happy; they are the endearing graders who grow our souls. The worst events in our lives occasionally place us directly on the route to the best things that will happen to us.**
**Avoid being terrified of new things or things you don't yet understand. Become enamoured with the practice of knowing without concern.**
***We are destined to learn new things.***
The fact that it is Saturday prevents me from spending time with myself or taking a break. Still, our school's head of faculty has insisted that I attend a training session on educational innovation. I was initially hesitant because I knew this would be added to my workload once more.
However, I'm having a blast during the training session. I'm happy I took part since I've picked up a lot of life lessons that will help me teach my pupils more effectively.
This training is beneficial for our kids since it allows us to develop fresh ideas for strategies that will encourage them to practice new skills that they will undoubtedly find simple to comprehend.
Just want to think of the greatest and most beneficial innovations for our pupils and the institution.
*Good evening to all! I truly missed being here, so I hope everyone is doing okay. What's up, guys?*
Color Green is My Favourite!
*Good evening to all! What's up, everyone? I hope everything is okay! God bless you all, guys!*
*I used to adore everything around me when I was organizing and cleaning my table, mainly because it was green.*
**Yes, green is my favourite colour.**
**Colours have a great deal of power.**
**Never undervalue the influence of colour, whether from a psychological or spiritual perspective. There is science behind it, and whether you know it or not, it affects you daily. Large corporations utilize it as a branding strategy to influence your perceptions of them.**
***The Shade of Green***
The colour green represents harmony, balance, and progress.
Green is associated with harmony and balance. According to colour psychology, it is the supreme stabilizer of the heart and the emotions, bringing a connection between nature and the head.
Green is the colour of growth, spring, renewal, and rebirth, according to the meaning of colours. It replenishes and regenerates spent energy. It serves as our haven from the pressures of modern life and gives us back our sense of well-being. This explains why this calming hue is so prevalent on Earth and why we should preserve it.
Green is an emotionally uplifting colour that enables us to love and care for ourselves and others unconditionally. It must resist the temptation to become a martyr while being a natural peacemaker.
It is observant and related to the social worker, counsellor, and good listener. The volunteer is also an excellent parent and a helpful neighbour.
Green encourages a love of the outdoors as well as a love of one's home, family, and friends. It is the colour of the homebody, the gracious host, and the gardener.
Although it is kind and likes to give, it also seeks praise. It is amiable and capable of maintaining privacy.
This colour symbolizes stability and perseverance, giving us the fortitude to persevere in facing difficulty.
The colour green is associated with affluence, finance, and material richness. It has to do with commerce, property, and real estate. Green evokes a sense of safety via prosperity.
The personality colour green denotes a person who is calm, diplomatic, and appreciates fostering harmony in their community.
You possess a certain amount of vigour, mental clarity, and calmness, giving you the ideal balance of the body and the mind.
*It is difficult for me to choose a favourite shade of green because there are so many different ones, but all shade of green is the best.*
*Green represents life on Earth and the idea that we should cherish our planet because it provides so much.*
**Greener environments make for better environments, and better environments make for better lives.**
I adore the significance of the colour green and how it influences my life as a person, even though not all these traits perfectly described me as a human.
Others might find this applicable, while others might not. Be a cheerful and decent person at all times, regardless of the colours you preferred.
What about you? What is your favourite colour?
My Birth Month and Realizations
*I chose to take a selfie at precisely 2:40 AM a while ago. Then I noticed my eye bags, which made my eyes appear narrower. Please pardon my little, flat nose; I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it anymore 🤣.*
*I suddenly noticed that January was already halfway over, and it suddenly occurred to me that January was the month I was born. On January 23, I will turn 27.*
**We are not getting any younger, that is true. And I'm starting to come to some realizations.**
**I have to consider long-term at this age!**
In the long run, thinking strategically pays off considerably better. Long-term is more complicated than most people think, which is why it is more profitable. Every desirable thing has a cost, and sometimes those costs become apparent. Housel points out that the actual price of the long term—the abilities needed, the required mindset—is simple to sum up, sometimes summed up with straightforward phrases like **"be more patient," but much harder to put into practice.**
The fact that the "now" requires so much more focus is one of the reasons I find it difficult to pursue long-term objectives. Although we have unrestricted access to knowledge to the standards of living, it is getting harder to look past the urgent emails, the continuous news cycle, the competitive environment in which we must operate, and keeping up with the numerous demands of modern life.
***"Because it's crucial, patience is challenging. It is the main component of success for the majority of people"***
**Save money!**
Saving boosts stability and peace of mind while providing a financial "backstop" for unforeseen events. Future events and unexpected circumstances serve to emphasize the necessity of saving money.
All of us should have the best things in life, but sometimes spending a lot of money is not an option. We only have one life, so we should be frugal with our money. Know when to spend and when to set financial limits. Saving money is crucial for long-term financial security and flexibility because of this.
**Surround me with the people that I can pray and hustle with!**
You can be affected by the people in your life. They may share positive or opposing viewpoints. So surround yourself with people who constantly remind you of God's love. These thoughtful friends will pray for you and encourage you and share nice things with you. More time spent with them will ensure that you always remember who God is in your life. If you believe you don't have friends who are like that. Then ask God to bless you with loved ones who will be there for you constantly. Be that person who also serves as a reminder of who God is simultaneously—starting with you. Develop spiritually and spread God's goodness and love to your friends.
With good company, you won't ever feel lonely on the voyage. Even if it could be difficult, you'll always have the support you need if you're with the proper people. Because they will relate their stories and how they dealt with their difficulties, you won't become bored along the road. Your victories will include their tales as a component. Pay attention to what they say, not what you think. Maintain an open heart so God's people can enter and assist you on your journey.
*Just be patient and decide to develop alongside them. Spending time with others who share your love for God will make your life more satisfying. To see someone grow and change is such a rewarding experience.*
**I can no longer afford to waste time. I need to focus on things that matter in the long run.**
***I am manifesting stability, loyalty and peace of mind!***
Teaching Out of Sympathy and Empathy
*When I started to choose my profession, I never thought I could deeply understand teaching out of sympathy and love.*
*I have been through a lot to get where I am now, and every details of it are essential for me.*
**Many people ask me: "Why do you settle and waste time teaching in mountain areas? You can do more here in town!"**
***But I only answered them: "My Aeta Learners Need Me."***
Teaching there costs a lot of money for transportation and food, and it also takes a lot of effort and time to get there, but that place is definitely "My Happy Place".
For the past seven years of teaching in private and public schools, I learned much about the difference between teaching out of intelligence, sympathy, and empathy.
For a teacher to be effective, empathy and sympathy for their students are essential qualities. Empathy is the ability to understand and share another person's feelings, whereas compassion is the sense of sadness for another person.
**Both are necessary for creating a positive learning atmosphere in the classroom.** Teachers that are able to put themselves in their students' shoes are better able to understand their needs and cater to them. Additionally, they can help them build stronger bonds and relationships with their students. Sympathy and empathy can help teachers understand the motivations behind their students' behaviour and what could be hurting them.
One of the most important qualities a teacher can have is empathy. Because they can understand them and feel for them, a compassionate teacher will have compassion for their students. Empathy is essential in the classroom because it allows us to connect with our students and help them through difficult situations.
When we can put ourselves in our student's shoes, we are better able to understand what they are going through. Understanding makes compassion possible since it enables us to offer support and guidance when it's needed. Additionally, when professors show care for their students, it strengthens our relationships.
When engaging with students, teachers must show compassion for them. This enables teachers to understand the views and perspectives of their pupils and aids them in creating a favourable environment for learning. Teachers who are adept at understanding and sympathizing can enhance students' achievement by developing relationships with them. Along with helping students feel understood and supported, teachers who have a high sense of compassion and empathy may also benefit from enhanced relationships with their students. As a result, everyone gains from an improved school atmosphere.
When you teach in an Indigenous Tribe, there are many things you need to consider, especially their cultures, traditions and beliefs. There are facts you need to think about before speaking and doing things that they will not hurt. It would be best if you were considerate of their feelings and always sensitive.
***Many teachers can teach, but only some can lead with patience.***
Teachers who are short-tempered and insensitive, far-flung schools are not for them. There are a lot of teachers who waved their job and declined to teach here. And some took less time here and decided to go and teach in another school.
**But the first day I've been here is one of my best days as a teacher and person.**
*Here are some photos of my girls and boys from a while ago.*
They may not be the students that others didn't wish to teach, but for me, I am destined to be their teacher.
They may be a lot of things you need to take risks in teaching in their area, but those are risks that I am willing to take for the rest of my life.
Good evening everyone! How are you guys? It's been a while :).
I want to thank you for the unexpected upvotes from @Coolmidwestguy and @ewyr . Thank you so much, and I really appreciate your blessings! May God shower you with more blessings and love. :)
Stay Calm in the Midst of Chaos!
*Greetings, Read.Cash Community! I'm really missing this place. How are you guys doing? I hope everything is good with you.*
By the way, due to a few pressing issues, I've been off course for the past few days. One of the reasons, as I have discussed in my previous piece, is that my mother's diabetes is causing problems with her eyes and general health. Additionally, I've been making frequent trips to Pampanga, where CHED (Commission on Higher Education) is located, in order to submit the documents I need to be promoted.
It's simply so awful that there are numerous factors you must take into consideration before receiving the promotion you deserve here in the Philippines. There are many prerequisites that must be met in order for you to be eligible for the aforementioned promotion for teachers.
**But despite everything, I manage to keep my calm in the midst of chaos.**
Here are some of my own photos from tonight, taken while I was at my most frantic and difficult time of hard-working and hustling overnight.
Life is chaotic, and as time passes, neither it nor its difficulties become any clearer or less complicated. The only way to handle it is to handle it, including both the challenges and the enjoyable moments. This entails learning the methods necessary to soothe our fears, anxieties, and uncertainties along the way so that we are better prepared to overcome the obstacles life places in our path.
The difficulty of life seems to be increasing daily. Modern existence involves a great deal of strain and responsibility, and it also involves the internal demands and fears we place on ourselves. Even though it might be challenging to maintain composure when the tumultuous storms of life swirl around us, learning this skill is essential if we are to discover true and permanent happiness. Finding the bright side in every circumstance is made that much simpler when we develop the ability to remain calm and collected under pressure.
You can maintain your composure and put yourself in the best frame of mind to overcome every challenge you face, regardless of the circumstances or the position you find yourself in. **Even though the going may be rough right now, with a little patience, wisdom, and sincere dedication, the path can be smoothed out. Our actions and reactions are the only things we have control over in this life. You can find calm in any circumstance if you learn how to react to the stresses and stressors in your life more effectively.**
**A chaotic life is difficult.**
**While some of us have more chaotic lives than others, we all understand what it feels like to be in a bind under intense and high pressure. It's simple to feel overburdened or as though you're being pulled in too many directions to be joyful when you're juggling a busy family or demanding work. It takes cultivating some acceptance to solve this problem, but it also calls for accepting responsibility. And when you're already having trouble just keeping your head above water that might not be the best place to start.**
**It is a deep dive, yet gaining mastery over our emotions and ourselves is not a difficult process. Finding your inner zen requires recognizing the stress indicators in your life, as well as actively customizing and putting into practice the tactics that can help you rest your mind and heart on a variety of different levels. Whatever the circumstance, we may learn to regulate our emotions and cultivate the composure necessary to formulate effective, well-considered responses that increase our sense of fulfilment and delight.**
I Survived, Ending this year with a strong heart!
**Thank you, 2022!**
*It seems too late for me to wish you all a happy new year. Due to my mother's health, I have been busy for several days.*
I was pretty happy when December arrived since it meant fewer days until we welcomed the year 2023. However, on December 19, my mother was given the go-ahead to have an eye operation, primarily due to her diabetes.
Another situation made me unhappy and hurt, but instead of worrying excessively, I trusted the Lord and gave everything up. I changed how I look at our situation, and God comforts me whenever I pray.
**It is not true that life has dealt me a bad hand just because the past few days have been challenging. It exposes me to things I fear I cannot manage to prepare for what is to come. Something I never expected but earned, something I never prayed for, and something I never imagined acquiring but did. I maintain optimism because, after all, life is full of surprises.**
This could be yet another obstacle I must overcome in the coming year, but I know that as long as God is with me, I am beyond grateful and blessed because He has never let me down.
**Thank you.**
I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has touched my life year 2022, especially to those who have helped me through my highs and lows and shown me how much they care.
I also want to apologize to anyone I have ever hurt or been toxic to because I want to end the year 2022 with no regrets.
Thanks to this platform, I made some wonderful people who helped me become where I am now. Even though I am not a good writer, I appreciate you reading my posts, the sponsorships, and the upvotes you have given me.
Of course, our December will always be remembered by the person I will never forget: **My Unexpected Santa Claus.**
**2022**
Thank you once more for all the love, joy, blessings, sorrow, lessons learned, failures, and successes, but most of all, I am glad for the chance to be alive.
**2023**
I look forward to all that lies ahead and am prepared for fresh challenges and experiences. I am now prepared to approach the new year with optimism and look forward to achieving more significant achievements, experience, and triumph.
Although specific chapters and doors may be shutting, it only means new beginnings for me; new potential, hope, and concentration. I'm enabling myself to start again by taking my first step. Here's to accepting every setback and celebrating all of my victories. Embracing the risky adventure of life and bravely approaching new characters and doors opening.
**May 2023 bring us all fresh starts, pleasure, and tranquility.**
Once again, Happy New Year!
Our First Ever Christmas Family Gathering!
*It's been four days since I published my last article here. I am busy and enjoying the rest of the holiday season before school works again. How are you guys? I hope you have the best days after all.*
**Our family and loved ones had a blast on Christmas Eve last weekend!**
**We have had a difficult year in 2022, and it sucks that there were times when we felt like we would never get through it. We've faced several challenges where we were unable to control our own overthinking, which kept us from being happy.**
**As a result, when the month of December rolls around, we've decided to throw a Christmas party to commemorate the birth of Jesus and also serve as a gathering to give thanks for everything that has transpired in our lives so far in 2022.**
We are thankful to God since He never abandoned us and never let us down. Even though life can be difficult, we are grateful that we are all present to joyfully celebrate His birthday with one another.
The celebration starts with a prayer and is then followed by some motivational speeches. After that, we have some games planned for everyone that end up being a highlight of the celebration. The celebration was enjoyable for my family and friends.
The exchange of presents then happens. Everyone receives their gifts with great excitement. And it makes me so glad to know that everyone is appreciative of the gifts, no matter how expensive or inexpensive they may be; what matters most is the time and effort put into making them.
***This kind of celebration matters; why?***
**Gathering with family creates an opportunity to reconnect with and meet new family members. If you have kids, it also gives them a chance to know members of their extended family.**
**In addition to being pleasurable, getting together fosters our most vital relationships and fosters a sense of belonging and community. Your sense of inspiration, renewal, and connection can be greatly enhanced by a straightforward meal shared with friends or family.**
We had a great time spending Christmas Eve together for the first time. I'm hoping and praying that this is the start of many such family get-togethers throughout the years to come.
**Therefore, if you're seeking for someone to celebrate Christmas with, check around because it would be ideal to do so with your family and close friends.**
It's not too late to greet you, my Read.Cash family, Merry Christmas! I sincerely hope that you enjoy spending Christmas with your family, friends, and loved ones!
We will welcome 2023 in a few more days. For the upcoming days, let's strive to be our best!
God bless you all, and keep you safe!
The Sudden Goodbye of Rusty; The White Christmas! :)
*Our beloved Rusty suddenly said farewell to us. Some people said goodbye, and many of us were astonished and heartbroken by its loss.*
Though I've only been here for about six months, I will always be grateful that I've connected with this community of individuals. In fact, for the past six months, Read, Cash has been a regular part of my routine and seems like home to me.
**I am appreciative of the times when I s ko have broken down and felt alone, but posting on this site served as my inspiration to remain strong.**
**I am grateful for the articles since they inspire me and keep me motivated to work toward my objectives.**
**I am grateful to the peopl**e **here who have supported me on my journey and turned me into my virtual friends. I appreciated the opportunity you gave me to reflect on what I've gone through as a teacher and a breadwinner.**
***Everything about this platform becomes a part of my journey, and this community is responsible for shaping me into who I am today. I never thought I could write or blog, but read. cash makes it possible.***
**Thank you so much for sticking around with me for how many months, Rusty. I am extremely grateful for the tips you gave me and for the opportunities in my life since you have enabled me to earn money for both my personal needs and those of my students. Thank you so much, dear buddy; it's been a wonderful adventure!**
***I will stay as long as read. cash is still around. Whatever happens, I'll still write an article on this site. I will never leave you since you have been a part of my life.***
I went to the nearest town to make myself happy after Rusty's sudden disappearance left me feeling broken. White Christmas is the motif of the holiday lighting and decorations. I am overjoyed by the energy and positivity it inspires in me; it really improves my attitude as I go.
There are many individuals around, and they are all quite excited to take pictures with their families and other loved ones. This Christmas concept is outstanding and wonderfully creative.
*Christmas is in the air; it's amazing how quickly time goes by. In just a few days, we'll ring in the new year of 2023. Are you prepared?*
**December still has time for us to resolve everything and make it ideal. Let's enjoy this Christmas season's spirit with our families and loved ones. Make this December one that will be remembered.**
My Unexpected Santa Claus and the Successful Christmas Party!
As I have frequently emphasized in previous posts, One of the reasons I am willing to work hard and earn even harder is to support my pupils and provide for their needs
When the "Ber Months" start, I always prepare a wonderful Christmas party where I can give them pleasant surprises and allow them to eat delicious food. Sometimes it's hard for me to make money because I have to support the family financially, so there are times when I encounter difficulties. As a result, as time passes, I feel a little bit of pressure.
***But God never let me down; He granted all my requests for my students' needs when He handed me "My Unexpected Santa Claus." It was genuinely unexpected because I had no idea that God would grant me some money through someone we had never seen in person. However, I am sure that he is a person with a big heart who is full of kindness and love.***
**So to you My Unexpected Santa Claus:**
We are sincerely appreciative of what you have provided on behalf of my Aeta pupils. Thank you for allowing us to celebrate Christmas and experience its spirit and essence. Even though we may not be able to reciprocate with gifts, I am confident that God will bless you abundantly because of the power of prayer. A million thanks will never be enough.
Once more, thank you so much. You will always be in our hearts, Our Unexpected Santa Claus.
*So now, here are the happenings:*
**The preparation:**
Last Thursday night, I finished preparing all the presents I had purchased for my pupils from our Unexpected Santa Claus. I purchased some toys, sweet candies, money for their prizes, and money for the contributions to their food. I've never allowed them to contribute financially to their Christmas celebration because they are less fortunate. All I want is their presence on that day and to let the, feel the spirit of giving and sharing.
**The Christmas Party:**
Our Christmas party was conducted last Friday, December 16, 2022, and I feel that everyone is looking forward to it. I said before the party that I didn't need anything else but their presence. So when I got to school, I observed their broad smiles coming toward me. Particularly once they observed the things I had gathered along the way.
We prayed for a successful event on our end as well as for the life of the person (My Unexpected Santa Claus) who fulfilled all of our wishes before the celebration started.
Then we start our celebration with a number of games that make them feel even happier. As they yell their joy and enthusiasm, you can hear their chuckles and laughter. Then monetary rewards are given to all of the game winners.
After the games, I let them enjoy their food. They have their spaghetti, fried chicken, hotdog with marshmallows, ice cream, and fruit juice. I am so happy as I watched them enjoying all the food that they have, and I can hear them say ***“Ang sarap po Madam”*** ( It’s so delicious Madam), I felt delighted as I hear that and see them eating with smile.
**The Gift Giving:**
I gave them their special gifts after they finished their meal. They are all incredibly grateful and thrilled to have received it, and they all value the things they never had the chance to experience before. As soon as I call their names and they hear me, they immediately jump up and rush to me.
The Christmas party was a success, and I am delighted to have even once again made them smile and appreciate the true spirit of the holiday.
So once again, I want to say thank you to you, My Unexpected Santa Claus, and may God grant you every good thing you deserve in life.
**Additionally, I want to thank all of my readers, subscribers, and you, Rusty, for your continuing support and for helping me to earn some money in this community. Many thanks, and more power!**
**Just showing off my "Ukay-Ukay" Christmas Party Outfit:**
I spent about $1 on my top and another $1 on my skirt for a total of $2. I can say that Ukay-Ukay is good if you want to save some money since I think that what matters most is how you wear your clothes confidently, not how expensive they are.
Make it a December to Remember!
**Aside from being a teacher, I am a breadwinner and a goal-digger.**
I am a kind of person who only considers what will make my parents proud of me. I focused on my education and made sure they would have the life they deserved.
I came from a simple family, we are not rich, and my parents struggle so hard for us to live and give us the life that we need. Since my older siblings got married young, I ended up supporting the family financially. Therefore, after I graduated, the responsibility and all the weight fell on me.
Although it can be difficult at times, I have never regretted taking on the role of family provider; even though there are a lot of times that I neglect and sacrifice my own happiness and life.
Other people keep asking when I'm going to get married. They continue to put pressure on me because of my age, but I constantly respond that I want to make my family comfortable first, especially my parents.
**This Christmas, I want to be Santa Claus and be called as SantaLynlyn…**
This Christmas, because being a giver is within my veins, it will be my happiness to give them the gifts of love and happiness. Though even if is not Christmas, I still offer them the things they require and work very hard to provide for their comfort, this Christmas I want to give them something extra special.
*When the "Ber" Months start, which is usually in the month of "September," I compile a wish list and display it on the front of our refrigerator. My family members then add items to it so I can see what they want and know if I can afford it before Christmas.*
I've gone through a lot in terms of earning money, and since I'm responsible for everything financially, there are times when I can't even afford to treat myself. I have to prioritize our basic needs, which include paying bills, buying food, and taking care of my parents' maintenance and medical needs; the reason why, despite my exhaustion, I continue to hustle and grind despite the heavy task I have at work.
Despite being the family's primary provider, **I still yearn to be Santa Claus for the people I cherish**, especially my students and my loved ones. **I am now eagerly anticipating Christmas so that I may bring joy to them and help them experience the true meaning of the season. I want to make them happy because their happiness is my satisfaction.**
**So this Christmas I want to say “Ho Ho Ho! This is SantaLynlyn and I will make you happy and give you the gifts that you want!"**
**This New Year, I am TeacherLynlyn Version 2.0 (Braver and Wiser)**
**Making "New Year's Resolutions" is one of the most well-known activities people engage in each year.**
Many individuals tried and failed, yet this is a challenge that everyone enjoys doing again since it renews them and makes them want to start over.
I've been knocked down by life a few times. I've seen things in the last several years of my life that I never wanted to witness. I struggled with grief and failure a lot. I've endured a great deal of suffering. There are times when I want to give up and even wonder where my journey is headed.
There is an emptiness that didn’t let me fall asleep at night, there are decisions that made my days so uncertain, and the things that broke me into million pieces. I don’t know how, I don’t even know when, but these coming years, I want to be whole again.
***So here are the three of my New Year’s Resolutions:***
**Hustle Hard!**
Hustle to have the courage and determination for me to always strive for the life that I deserve.
**Grind More!**
To perform my routines well and take all the necessary steps in order to reach my goals.
**Execute!**
Stop Talking and put everything to work and let all efforts do the talking for me.
**These are things that I want to be the best version of myself in the future year; this time, I want to be more fearless and wise.**
This is my entry for the challenge of Mr. @Coolmidwestguy. This is all about my Christmas and New Year and I want to **Make December to Remember** :)

It's good to be back, my Alma Mater!
Last Wednesday, I visited Columban College, my alma mater, where I completed my college years and spent my Masters degree years.
I came here because I needed to take care of some paperwork related to my promotion, which hopefully will be granted this coming year.
As I walked into the building, I kept thinking back on the memories the school had given me. I spent about six years of my life studying here, including the two years I spent earning my Master's degree. This is where I was formed and made into the teacher I am today.
I can still picture the hallways where we used to go. It's been a while, and as time passed, I became more aware of how far I had come. The walks and runs we must take to catch up on our classes and to make who we are today truly meaningful to me are all brought back to memory by these hallways.
I can still picture the location where we used to study and sit during exam times. The area where my buddies remain and discuss our lives. And it has special significance for me because it is where our friendship has grown to this point. I missed being with them.
I also ran into several professors and teachers who helped shape who we are today, and I'm so glad they once served as our mentors. Their influence will live on in our memories forever, though. I always look up to them since they are the best teachers and help us become excellent teachers like them.
I also entered our CR, which I always find admirable because it's always lovely and clean. This is one of my favorite places since it turned into a haven where I could cry whenever I felt overwhelmed, especially regarding my studies and personal issues.
**Being able to enjoy the magnificence of my alma mater on that particular day makes me feel wonderful to be here. My mind keeps returning to the memories with my closest pals. I've experienced all my joys and struggles.**
I **appreciate how my alma mater shaped who I** **am today. The school greatly impacted my life and my journey. I hope that I will soon be able to return and complete my doctoral degree here.**
*That one Columbanites will always be a Columbanites is accurate, and it's good to be back. All the memories I've created here are essential to me, and they should all be preserved and always recalled*
*I am also thankful for my Aunt and for my parents who sacrificed a lot just to provide all my needs during my college days. 🙂*
How about you? What features of your alma mater do you love?
Good evening to all! What's up? Even though Rusty isn't always here at this time, I hope everything is fine, and I look forward to its visit.
I'm therefore incredibly grateful for all of your support, guys! Thank you for always being with me; I appreciate that, even if I am not always here for quite some time due to work.
Let's wait for better times to come. God bless you all.
