Fear haunts us Fear prevents us from doing what we supposed to do We underestimate ourselves because of fear We become timid because of it Fear is like an illusion in our minds It makes us mortified or frighten It makes us inhibit to do things We do not even know the consequences until we try But why fear? Asking or reflecting ourselves should we yield to it? Or is there something we can do about it? How can we conquer the fear within? Prayers are so powerful Prayers give us the strength and build faith So, do it afraid and do it any way Have faith instead of fear Overcome fear with faith Keep on going despite of fear Accomplish things with faith in God Jesus showed His ways He kept going in His journey to calvary He showed no cowardice Therefore, we can do what we need to achieve Have the determination and faith Copyright 2020 Ricardo and JoJo My Unique Stories.com

Happiness
What is happiness? It is different from everyone, but it’s also necessary. How do we find it? With material things, spiritual things, friends, family?
True happiness comes from having Inner peace. But the big question that we all have is how can we achieve this?
The very first step is to love yourself. If you don’t love yourself there is no way that you can achieve this. You can start by thinking about your own life, By looking for the positive even in your darkest times.
Positive thinking is very important. This will help you to reduce your stress call mark to be able to move forward when life becomes hard. By being positive you don’t give up in life or in things that you’re doing, instead you find what you can learn from it, how to succeed.
You are responsible for your own thinking, but this does not mean that you have to do this alone. Sometimes a good ear is all that we need to be able to move forward.
Remember to never give up, to always move forward, Always being positive, always with a smile on your face.
Once you accomplish this you can start to love yourself, to find that inner peace that came bring you happiness. In turn once you have your inner peace and you are really happy you can become a source of happiness for those around you.

Remember
Everyday we need to get reminded
In this journey of our lives
That life is short
What can we do in our time on earth?
Should we be carrying an anger within?
We can choose to be forgiving
Or should we just have to chill out and enjoy the ride
You are given the gift- called life
Are we giving thanks to our creator that we have another day to live?
Our attitude inside and outside
Is exhibited outwardly as we interact with others
Having good feelings within or oneself
Or less judgmental of ourselves
Or not judging at all
If we first kind to ourselves
Most likely, we are kind to others
It begins within
Never underestimate the power of our thoughts
Our thoughts can come out as words or actions
Feeding our minds of words of wisdom, help us enjoy life
Finding happiness in all we do
Encouraging and inspiring others
Our journey will be less disdaining
But worth taking and triumphant.
Always Moving Forward
During these hard times sometimes it becomes hard knowing what to do. We feel overwhelmed with all the information coming at us, coming from the left or coming from the right.
Do we find a corner to hide and cry? No, this is the time to gather our courage, to move forward and not to give up. We must find the inner strength and push forward, overcome any negative thoughts that gather around us. Thinking positive is as important as being positive. You cannot have one if you do not have the other one.
It is ok to remember that we do not have to do everything alone. If we need help, we have reach for our friends and family, the people who are important to us and who can give us the push that we need to be able to move forward.
Always remember that whenever there is a storm there would always come peace afterwards. Always look for the light at the end of the tunnel, always strive to move forward, never stop and look back, never let the past control your future.
Be sure to find the positive even in adversity. It is not easy to do, but by acquiring this skill we will be able to navigate through anything. We will be able to always move forwards.
Never stop moving, always keep moving forward and eventually you will reach your destination. Enjoy your life and become someone who can give happiness to others with your presence

Angels
On the first Friday of October 2020. I went to church and this day was designated as the memorial of the Holy Guardian Angels.
The church was a Catholic Community and School. I was glad to arrive early. The students had their Friday mass. Being on 50 % capacity limitation of seating, it was more exclusive for the students and staffs. When I checked inside the church all the seats were occupied with social distancing observed. I stepped out and stayed in the narthex. There were benches that I could sit on. I sat on one of the benches located by the big post and behind it was another bench. Before the mass began, there was a lady sitting on the bench behind me. She was leaning and stooping. She had her mask hanging on one ear as if she was trying to get more air. When I saw her, I asked her if she was okay? She replied that she was alright. There were colleagues that came to check on her.
On the other hand, while the mass was ongoing, I heard the front door tried to be opened by 2 gentlemen. So, I asked the one of the staffs which were helping the lady if I should open the door for the 2 men wanted to get in the church. But they advised no due to capacity was met already.
The lady was taken to the school office and one of the staffs asked me that when she came back to open the front door for her as she just needed to go to the school office.
While the mass was in progress the priest had homily about the “Holy Angles”. He admonished that we never be alone. Angles were all around us. Then I saw a teacher and a student that went to the narthex area. I thought that the student was accompanied by teacher to go to the restroom. But then I realized that she was sitting on a bench. On the second time, the staff asked me to open the front door for her as she needed to get a cold pack for the student.
At this point, it was already communion time. I checked on the student if she was okay, but she stated that she was not feeling good. She was young and about 7 or 8 grade. She was so pale. I was thinking of taking communion first, but I changed my mind instead, I went back to her and took another bench put together to another bench. I let the student lie down on the bench so that blood flow will flow into her head. Advised her to take some deep breaths. Her legs were massaged especially the calves muscle. After a while she looked better. She had better color in her face. The staff came back and helped her wheeled to the school. Student’s mom was notified and was on her way to get her.
Then, I pondered about the homily of the priest that angles were everywhere. You can be the angel to others. God sends angel to be on our side at any time.
