I go there not to be comfortable,but to conquer new worlds.
Consider not your losses,but the victories you have yet to achieve.
The more your struggles are,the sweeter also will be your success.
Protect your vision. At times it is more important than your present accomplishments.
You have a dream. You may not know it yet,but it is there,
embedded in the deepest part of your heart.
live with no regrets!
"No road is too long, for him who dares to overcome."
"Miracles aren't made, they are but allowed and recognized!"
"You cannot resist anything,you can only surrender. To whom are you surrendering to?"
"Always strive to be better,happier. It would make your loved ones happier as well."
Sometimes it is not our intentions that hurt others,but our insensitivity to the feelings of other people.
"You must rest, O soul, to receive your heart's desire."
-Streams in the Desert
Sometimes, God doesn't give us the things we want
because He knows the things we truly desire,
desires that we may not even be aware of
because we do not truly know ourselves.
We cannot truly know ourselves unless we really choose to,
and we cannot discover our true desires
unless we let go of the things we think we want,
things borne not out of love,
but out of fear, anger or other things
other than what our inner heart is yearning for.
Had God immediately given us our requests,
our joy wouldn't have had a chance to be complete
because we would have settled for the "Second best".
But God allows us instead these momentary frustrations
so that we can discover little by little
what it is we truly desire.
{ Dear Joyce, Hi! I have been an avid reader of your blog about a year an a half ago when I too have been experiencing heartbreak and burden in my life. Your words have really been a pat on my shoulder and a hug rolled in one. 
I am now in a year long relationship and life has been treating me well. It is not a perfect relationship, we do have our shares of ups and downs but we come out of each as a better individual and we grow and learn together through those past mistakes. I just... } – Feb 05, 3:53 PM

{ Dear Joyce, I don't have a husband who physically abuses me but i have one who does so verbally and emotionally. He doesn't care whether we be in public places like malls, offices etc he just feels he needs to, in his own terms, "vent out his spleen". He had called me many things and often times says that i am stupid. He said i needed to reform, and that the only way was "his way". for the past year i have been doing all he asks of me, i am not allowed to talk to my friends, neither am... } – Jan 24, 9:16 AM

I talked to him calmly.. But the last 2 weeks i never bothered him about it for i didn't see any willingness to work, coz he wants daw to build a business which... } – Jan 23, 12:41 AM
