Keep the faith and drop the fear!

Nagpadayon pagpadala kanato’g mga panultihon nga makapamalandong sila Doming Chavez sa Punta Princesa ug Dodong Casinillo sa San Nicolas Proper. Every now and then, ato ning ipaambit kaninyo. Nindot ni alang kanatong mga senior citizens.

Ania kining gikan ni Doming Chavez: “Keep the Faith and drop the Fear. Don’t believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is wonderful if you know how to live it.”

Tinuod ni. Usahay ang kahadlok maoy modominar kanato. Mga kahadlok nga walay kapasikaran. Mga kahadlok nga dili mahitabo.

Padayon: “Count your morning by sunrise not sunset. Count your life by smiles not tears and when life reaches autumn (sa ato pa, inigka-senior citizen na), count your age by friends not years.” Nga kun kanunay lang kang mag-inusara, walay tambong-tambong og miting sa mga senior citizens, mosamot kag katigulang.

Nia pa: “When you are going through very rough road of your life (dili ra ba gyud kalikayan … ayawg hilak, ayaw basola ang Ginoo ug ang gobyerno, o ang imong silingan) … relax, pray… look for and follow the road sign: SLOW DOWN … GOD’S AT WORK.”

Samtang si Dodong Casinillo mi-email kanato (actually pinaagi sa iyang anak kay di ni siya kamaong mo-email):

“We make life by what we give” By ROSE JONES, 92 years old. Kahinumdom ko,  nga usa kini sa mga topic sa usa sa mga seminar nga gi-conduct ni Shalaine Lucero sa DSWD regional field office. Ania:

“Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy moments I’ve stored away … just for this time in my life.  Old age is like a bank account … you withdraw from what you have put in.  So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank Account of Memories. I’m still depositing in my Memory Bank.

“We do not stop playing because we are old. We grow old because we stop playing. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The elderly people who fear death are those with regrets.

“You have to laugh and find humor everyday. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams you die. There are many people who are walking around who are dead and don’t even know it. Remember, growing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional. We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.

“FIVE SIMPLE RULES TO BE HAPPY:  1. Free your heart from hatred. 2. Free your mind from worries.  3. Live simply.  4. Give more.  5. Expect less.”
