Storm before the calm

Another chapter of my life will soon begin. As for now, seems like the preparation to usher this change is hardly taking flight. More to come as the days follow. As I consciously make arrangements for a smooth transition, I cannot help but be burdened by thoughts and feeling of desertion. Even if the decisions that we make is justified, we often times sacrifice much more than the rewards that we may reap. Thus the question, "When do we think with our heads and when do we think with our hearts?".
I would like to believe that one should never think with the heart. The heart is nothing but an organ that delivers blood. The head, on the other hand, is the central processing unit. The head (brain) process our emotions, judgements, and reaction. Thus, it is quite safe to say that the heart does not "feel". Here is part of the answer to the question, "What part of the brain responds to feelings?".

"Feeling such as anger and fear is "modulated" in septum pellucidum and amygdala respectively. These two components are part of the human limbic system located between midbrain and forebrain. Whereas the depth of perception, judgement and morality are controlled by many areas in frontal lobe."

No matter what the answer is, humans are creatures of feelings. Our decisions and sentiments will always be swayed.

Try as I might, this day as I post my thought, I know that I have made one right decision. The changes and consequences that ensues will hardly be a surprise.

Nothing lasts forever. Most importantly, know when to quit. Kenny Rogers sing, "... Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run...". When it all ends, know that time will filter out the broken pieces and leaves us with the good.

Appreciate. To all the lovers of the world, love like you'll never love again.

It is Rewarding

It is Rewarding

It is rewarding to find someone whom you like,

but it is essential to like yourself.

It is quickening to recognize that someone is

a good and decent human being,

but it is indispensable to view yourself as acceptable.

It is a delight to discover people who are worthy

of respect and admiration and love,

but it is vital to believe yourself deserving of these things.

For you cannot live in someone else.

You cannot find yourself in someone else.

You cannot be given a life by someone else.

Of all the people you will know in a lifetime,

You are the only one you will never leave or lose.

To the questions of your life, you are the only answer.

To the problems of your life, you are the only solution.

Long time coming ...

Red has finally decided on the colors for the blog, at least for now. Finally ... seems like an eternity of color matching and code finding. Well, this blogging thingy has a steeper learning curve than expected. Nevertheless, this challenge is hard to forsake.
