To do or not to do, my mantra. I can't believe that there has been a time that I wished I have my mother or my sisters to tell me not to do it. Just like when I was a they tell you not to go with a guy who is up to no good. I being a good listen but there has been a time that I have defied them and was a bit rebellious. Nowadays as a mature person I have to make my own decision. I decide on everything that concerns my life. I must admit that not all my decisions were good so I end up with consequences. I can ask my or friends but of course the final decision will be mine alone. I miss the days when I am told straight up with a threat, "Don't do it." The old fashioned Filipino parenting ways. Now that I have to decide on my own I have developed my own mantra to help me decide and guide me in my decision. My mantra is: "Don't do it if you will be ashamed even to talk about it, Don't do it if you are not going to be proud of it." Sometimes it is so easy to get carried away and be persuaded to do things we can't be proud of. If you are faced with such a dilemma stop for a minute and ask yourself. Is this something I will not be ashamed to talk about ? Is this something I can be proud of? If you answer no then I guess thats what you should do even if what you do gives you happiness because in the end it will just ruin your self esteem. Are you facing a cross road whether to do or not to do? If you are, ask yourself, will your decision make you proud? Well if none of that applies you can always toss a coin or draw sticks. Such as what will I do for dinner? Cook or take out. Cook maybe will make me proud but dine out makes me more relaxed. So toss a coin , I have a biased coin my cooking always loses.  Do you have a mantra that you want to share? Please do. “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.” |

i once had a coin and i believe good for making a toss. i used it when we played Cara Y Cruz with my friends and i always ended up as the winner.It was a what we called "doble cara" both faces of the coin bear the same cara.. ,it was the result of minting errors.. Doble cara means a lot of money..lageng winner..

My gut instincts hold the key to my brain. So long as I won't go hungry I'm good to go for anything. For every dilemma there is always a Dalai Lama.

That's what makes life more exciting , interesting and worth waking up because we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. Imagine how boring it will be if we can predict what's going to happen next all the time. “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.”

Thanks Tinks, my heart do not have a sense of direction so it's hard to follow.  If I will be stepping on someone then that is something I will be ashamed of not be proud of , so I agree, if you don't step on someone then its fine. “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.”

'Te Che, its always 'vivere cenza rimpianti' (live without regrets). I keep it a point to think 3x of a major decision and always follow the best of 3. Sounds childish but worked out fine over the last years - up to now. After the 3rd, I will stop so as not to be confused further. Whatever the consequences - I don't look back and weighed the 'what ifs'. I stand by what I decided.
