Please read: John 1:29-34
“Non-Champions may know how to
persevere,
but you can’t just persevere in all
things.
Because in some areas,
the wisest thing to do is to
actually GIVE UP.”
– Bo Sanchez
May mga pagkakataon na ayaw mo nang magpatalo kasi
mukhang “one-man win” na lang palagi ang peg, and you were made to feel
insulted mostly -- even below the belt.
-- mga pagkakataon na minsan ka
nang nanahimik dahil inasahan mong may makukunsensya sa hindi mo
pakikipag-brasuhan; pero mas lalong naramdaman ng opponent na
sya ang “wagi” at
ikaw, “asar-talo”!
At
that point na halos naibigay mo na lahat hanggang sa “respect” na lang ang ipinaki-usap
mong itira sayo at pag namamayani na ang galit sa pagkatao mo, LET
GO!
– Gail Montero
Much is true … “Going through life is just like coursing
through a “basketball court”!
There are really instances when it’s more sensible to “give-up and just let go”
than to put-up a BAD FIGHT!
When set-backs attack and when we’re on the losing-end, “CATCH
BALL- OFF BACKBOARD” MOVE lang ang katapat nyan … REBOUND in short! -- but we’ve
got to be more cautious with our STRATEGies the next time we’re ready to SPRING
BACK!
Minsan, kapag nakaka-stress na, mabuti pang daanin mo na
lang sa kanta:
D
G D G
Take me to your heart, Show me where to start ...
C#m F#m Bm A Em
Got to believe in magic, Tell me how two people find each other
C
In a world that's full of strangers; . . .
Pero oo nga noh, at some point, we no longer get to enjoy
the “court of life” kasi, parang
“strangers” na halos tayo sa mga kasama natin -- dahil may mga ilang bagay na nakakalimutan na
natin:
When was the last time na tumingin ka sa mga mata ng kasama mo while
dribbling the ball to the same direction kasi magka-team kayo?
When was the last time na
inintindi mo ang ibig sabihin ng mga galaw nya para alam mo kung kailan nya
kailangan ng back-up at support mo?
When was the last time na
sinalag mo ang atake ng kalaban para di sya tuluyang masaktan?
When was the last time na ni-recognize
mo ang effort nyang mag-assist sayo habang pareho nyong pinagsusumikapang
maka-goal?
& when was the last time na
may nasabi kang maganda tungkol sa kanya kasi na-appreciate mo ang role na
ginagampanan nya sa team nyo?
This was exactly how John the Baptist “teamed-up with
Jesus” in today’s gospel. It hasn’t been easy & he really had to take it
upon himself to EDIFY Jesus & proclaim that Jesus is the “lamb of God” -- because
even him, did not know where to start; but his willingness to “understand God’s
heart” made him finally persistent in doing God’s will.
Ang i-give up ang hangaring di-matalo
kahit na pwedeng maraming masaktan,
ang i-let
go ang galit sa puso natin at
ang pagsumikapang i-prove
that we have God within us
sa mga kasama natin sa ating “life court”
bilang isang
team
kahit na to the point na
may mga bagay na kailangan
nating i-sacrifice
just for the sake of
“putting up a good fight
until we finish the game”
-- this may be the “magic”
which we’ve got to
believe-in! #sunset
