ON THIS day, like any day, it’s always best to let the memories of bygone years come back. Not just to push us further forward for lessons that may have been worthily learned. But for some chances that may still be there to make some choices better weighed.
Surely, lessons are at their handiest when seen for still another opportune time. After all, it’s just a matter of time when choices untaken seem to loom larger as if grimly reminding us of what could have been.
And most certainly, the many guideposts available then may now appear to have greater value when given a needful second look. This is not to rue and be regretful for choices made. Things now take refuge in the passing of time. And today’s tasks, while awaiting to be taken, remain untouched when within grasp.
Rather than be immersed in genuine regrets, let’s be mindful that the past only serves to shed light. The here and now are what matters. For the many tomorrows ahead to gain lustrous shine. What matters now mean more than being hostaged to yesteryears hiding under the veneer of remembrances long cluttering memories now in bits and pieces, no longer the solidified mass of moments well-entrenched.
For now, let time cast its light for pathways yet unforged, for frontiers yet untaken. Surely, remembering gets us past anew on possibilities not seized, regardless how exacting or valued at the time.
Remembering second chances keeps us wary in going forward, despite the seeming ease of using second or even third choices. Not only does the range of choices appear just a bit beyond our gaze. Not only does time gets a fresh reprieve. There’s the wellspring from which better options may rise.
Make time for more matters that matter. That’s what time allows, ceding to us new insights, from which to draw apt guidance fit for the taking. Ang mga balakid ay mga pansamantalang pagharang. Mga pagsubok upang iwaksi o ilihis ang iyong pagtawid.
Sa pagtatapos ng isang linggong puno ng mga gawain atas ng propesyon at mga obligasyong kaakibat, palagiang balikan ang mga ito. Nangyari ba ang sa simula ng linggo ay iyong kusang iniatas o ginawa? Bigyang panahon na ipatupad ang mga gawaing nakaligtaan o hindi mabigyan ng sapat na panahon.
Kung may mga kasamahan tayo na kabalikat, bigyan sila ng akmang babala. Tawagin ang kanilang pansin. Ibaling ang kanilang atensyon sa mga gawaing hindi naisagawa.
Alalahanin na ang mga tungkulin ay naipapatupad sa pinagsamang lakas, enerhiya at talino ng pinagsama-samang pag-asikaso. Anumang tagumpay ay pinagsasaluhan. Ganun din ang kabiguan. Nagiging liksyong magbibigay liwanag sa tinatahak na landas.
Anumang tagumpay ay inspirasyong gabay sa susunod na mga hakbang. Ganoon din ang pagkabigo. Isang liksyong gagabay sa paglalakbay ng tiwasay. Isang liwanag na magoapalinaw sa daang niyayapakan.
Isang maaliwalas na panawagan sa lahat!
