Someone said people do not meet by chance but somewhere in their lifetimes they were already connected and have decided to meet again at a certain point in their lives for a purpose.
As much as I want to believe that the purpose could be anything really, my mind is telling me otherwise.
I believe we meet people in our lifetime for Maria Gemma Hilotinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04312043983408572168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241953954962393273.post-35751993806568700402017-01-02T19:20:00.000-07:002017-11-17T08:15:04.637-07:00365 Days of Soul Searching Challenge #2017#Redirecting this post to http://www.gemsdaily.com/soul-searching/

"I love you".
I was very stingy in saying those words when I was young. I thought it was something emotional or corny when said out loud. I felt, it was best reserved for writing, something you add when you send birthday cards or in love letters.
My parents weren't also very vocal about it but would boldly write it in letters or cards. So, I did the same.

To begin the experiment. Let's start with these:

Do you feel stuck?
Sometimes, I feel like that. Stuck. The good thing is that it won't be for long. I've always felt like I'm a rolling stone in my maze of life. I love it too! Weird, huh.
I'd feel exhilarated whenever I do whatever business is at hand, and then when I would feel stuck my heart and mind will just push me towards the other direction again.

This means you need to mentally see it, and then physically make space for it.

How often do you take the time to see yourself from other people’s

Gratitude is incredibly powerful. It’s an expression of thankfulness and appreciation of your life and the people in it. Plus, expressing gratitude is the same as expressing the sentiment, “I have received!” A very POWERFUL declaration on this plane of manifestation upon which we live! You can therefore express gratitude for the things you have, and thereby attract more, and/Maria Gemma Hilotinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04312043983408572168noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241953954962393273.post-27331963419619937962016-01-22T08:23:00.002-07:002017-11-17T08:15:04.606-07:00List 20 Things You Love To Do - Day 22/30 #InfinitePossibilitiesProjectDay 22: List 20 Things You Love To Do
