Relationship with Family and Friends




Relationship is not a joke, it is a serious commitment and truly difficult to manage.  So much expectations, weaknesses, and individual differences and frustrations creates conflict, misunderstanding and war.

"Friends can be family and family is your friend for life." 

No matter how hard and how stormy the relationship for as long we are willing to learn and exercise the art of listening and good communication with an open heart and mind, all conflicts will be in vain. Try! Be happy, it always takes two to tango, do not start an argument instead start a joke no matter how big the argument is and when everything tone down, then you start to talk and discuss and suggest solution to argument.

Several times we always experience the
pain and sorrow of being hurt and misunderstood.  At the height of our emotional crisis, oftentimes we commit a mistake of doing things against our will that will later make us feel regretful of what we have done.  Was there an issue about being sorry or saying "sorry" for all the mistakes thahas been committed? Or a conflict between pride and humility.



"One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter."

Who is my Family?


                                                                                                                                            
                                                                                   WHO IS YOUR FAMILY? 

Family doesn't have to be affiliated by birth or marriage,
It is who you love and who loves you back. Family is a very broad word, and the meaning differs in terms of its social, economic and cultural aspects. In simple words, family consist of people who look after us, play an essential role in upbringing us and teaching us the lessons in life that can never be learned through school or text book. Family is also an experience that teaches us the values of relationships in life. Actually dealing with one's family is like dealing with one's life itself, there are good and bad times, there are happy and sad moments.
                                                                      
The  most important thing god ever created is Love and Love is what "makes the world go round."  A family bond together with love or any relationship creates a happy environment and happy environment attracts positive energy.

WHOSE CHALLENGE! 

Many have said that where the seed is planted … the root grows strong to stand the test of time! 
The smallest unit of society which is called the “family” is one’s legend.  The root where one was nurtured growing up is the reflection of the type of  family that raised you.  However, the environment, society, and economic crisis that  influence the test and trials along the way are just some of the many factors that mostly affect the growing stage.  This is where our strong faith and accentuation of family values will serve as a shield and armor to win and stand the long and winding road of growing up.  Mistakes and failures  should be treated as spices of life, the best mentor teaching us how to stand whenever we fall.  Now, shall we say the gravity of challenges are in the hands of the parents?  How will you nurture your children in faith, and in the true values of the family so they become a well-rounded individual? As well as what you dreamt for them to become in the future and if it fails… whose fault?                            


OUR NEVER-ENDING STORY

Our family is not really that perfect.  We have had our ups and downs, and there were many dark clouds and rocky roads along the line. But would you believe, that as we tried to remain united as one family with love, true faith and understanding, that there, we always found the sun shine after the clouds? There we felt the serenity and wisdom in the light of our faith.  And as we remain one in our hearts, our journey will always be a never-ending story of love and triumph!
