Culture and Poverty

I found this book with the same title at NBS today. The more I read it, the more I am convinced that I should go and migrate to a richer country. I'm thinking of Canada. Tua na man gud sila Abegail and family didto. Sila Leikha pud and family. Sila Ate Cecil, Gigi, Dexter ug Rica Sierras pa. Pero tan-awon na lng ni. Ako lang ni iplot tanan. Everything will happen in God's time lagi. I keep the faith. Merry Christmas!

Fresh Pick

A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson
(as quoted by Nelson Mandela in his inaugural speech, 1994)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are we not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.

--The Power of Focus, 2000, by Canfield, Hansen and Hewitt, p. 159
