Here are some of the My Amnesia Girl pick-up lines and memorable quotes from the movie by Star Cinema.
"Sabi sa census may 11 milyon na tao sa Metro Manila. Paano mo malalaman na nahanap mo na yung taong para sa'yo? Maaring nakita mo na siya, pero yumuko ka para magsintas. Maaring nakatabi mo na siya, pero lumingon ka para tingnan ang traffic lights. Maaring nakasalubong mo na siya pero humarang yung pedicab.
May mga maswerteng tao na nahanap na yung taong para sa kanila. May mga tanong patuloy na naghahanap at may iba na sumuko na. Pero yung pinakamasaklap, eh yung na sayo na pinakawalan mo pa"
"Ulan ka ba? Kasi lupa ako. Sa ayaw at sa gusto mo, sa akin ang bagsak mo."
"Maging cactus ka man, handa akong masaktan... mayakap ka lang."
"May MMDA ba dito? Nagkabanggaan kasi ang puso natin."
"May lason ba ang mga mata mo? Kasi nakakamatay ang mga titig mo."
"Ang true love ay para sa matatapang na tao lamang."
"Ipikit mo ang mga mata mo. Kasi sabi nila, kapag nakapikit ka, dun mo malalaman ang totoo mong nararamdaman.”
"Kung pwede lang mawala lahat ng kasalan sa pamamagitan ng yakap, habang buhay kitang yayakapin."
"Kung ikakasal ka saan mo gusto? Ako kasi sa tabi mo."
"Kung may uulitin ako sa buhay ko, gusto kong ulitin yung araw na nakilala kita. Kahit paulit-ulit. Kahit araw-araw."
"Alam mo, para kang tae... Hindi kasi kita kayang paglaruan."
"Ihi ka ba? ...Hindi kasi kita matiis eh."
"Para kang alak... ang lakas ng tama mo sa akin."
Apollo: Tumatangkad ka ba?
Irene: Hindi, bakit?
Apollo: Kasi dati hanggang balikat lang kita, ngayon nasa isip na kita.
Apollo: Lumiliit ka ba?
Irene: Hindi, bakit?
Apollo: Kahapon kasi nasa isip lang kita, ngayon nasa puso na kita.
Apollo: Bakit ba hinahanap ang isang tao?
Peachy: Kasi gusto mo siya?
Apollo: Hindi, kasi nawawala.
Irene: Bakit? Nawawala ba 'ko?
Apollo: Hindi, pero hindi ka kasi mawala sa isip ko eh.

Detachment Quotes
Real Detachment
The man who is pure of heart is bound to fulfil himself in whatever way he is taught. A worldly man seeks all his life, but is still bewildered. Detached from the senses, you are free. Attached, you are bound. When this is understood, you may live as you please.
Astavakra Gita 15:1-2
*
Those who conquer their minds are beings of renunciation and detachment. They are lovingly focussed on the True One, they realise and understand themselves.
Guru Nanak
*
O my mind, day and night, you are always full of wishful hopes. Serve the true Guru, and your emotional attachment shall be totally burnt away; remain detached within the home of your heart.
Sri Guru Granth Sahib
*
The essence of the way is detachment.
Bodhidharma
*
Love consists not in feeling great things but in having great detachment and in suffering for the Beloved.
St John of the Cross

Addiction Quotes 7
"The secret of the whole matter is that a habit is not the mere tendency to repeat a certain act, nor is it established by the mere repetition of the act. Habit is a fixed tendency to react or respond in a certain way to a given stimulus; and the formation of habit always involves the two elements, the stimulus and the response or reaction. The indolent lad goes to school not in response to any stimulus in the school itself, but to the pressure of his father's will; when that stimulus is absent, the reaction as a matter of course does not occur."
Edward O. Sisson
"The second half of a man's life is made up of nothing but the habits he has acquired during the first half."
Feodor Dostoevski
"Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired."
Mortimer Caplan
"It is with our passions as it is with fire and water; they are good servants, but bad masters."
Roger L'Estrange
"Habit: The shackles of the free."
Ambrose Gwinett Bierce
"The long span of the bridge of your life is supported by countless cables called habits, attitudes, and desires. What you do in life depends upon what you are and what you want. What you get from life depends upon how much you want it—how much you are willing to work and plan and cooperate and use your resources. The long span of the bridge of your life is supported by countless cables that you are spinning now, and that is why today is such an important day. Make the cables strong!"
L. G. Elliott
"The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken."
Samuel Johnson
"Nicotine withdrawal was very much like trying to s*** a melon. The pressure was remarkable! Seemingly an impossible task. I would break out into sweats, cough, curse, yell, and wake up periodically throughout the night from vicious nightmares. Three full weeks of endless torment without relief. The incommodiousness of it all."
Greg Evans
"Small habits well pursued betimes May reach the dignity of crimes."
Hannah More
"Those who flee temptation generally leave a forwarding address."
Lane Olinghouse
"In one sense the whole process of development consists of the formation of habits; for knowledge itself, and the powers of thought, as well as the higher elements in the will, all depend upon the establishment of fixed ways of reacting to given stimuli. Consequently, the general laws of habituation underlie the whole of education. But the term habit is more commonly restricted to those established reactions that act with little or no participation of consciousness, or, in other words, mechanically or automatically. Such habits as these begin to form very early, and constitute a kind of supporting framework for the higher elements of character."

Addiction Quotes 5
"I feel that any form of so called psychotherapy is strongly contraindicated for addicts. The question ''Why did you start using narcotics in the first place?'' should never be asked. It is quite as irrelevant to treatment as it would be to ask a malarial patient why he went to a malarial area."
William S. Burroughs
"The weapons addiction of all our political leaders ... has the same characteristics as drug addiction. It is enormously costly, very dangerous, provokes ugly violence, and is self-perpetuating -- all on a scale far greater than drug addicton."
Howard Zinn
"To possess your soul in patience, with all the skin and some of the flesh burnt off your face and hands, is a job for a boy compared with the pains of a man who has lived pretty long in the exhilarating world that drugs or strong waters seem to create and is trying to live now in the first bald desolation created by knocking them off."
C. E. Montague
"First we form habits, then they form us. Conquer your bad habits or they will conquer you."
Rob Gilbert
"You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug, especially when its waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye."
Hunter S. Thompson
"Habits… the only reason they persist is that they are offering some satisfaction… You allow them to persist by not seeking any other, better form of satisfying the same needs. Every habit, good or bad, is acquired and learned in the same way - by finding that it is a means of satisfaction."
Juliene Berk
"Saigon was an addicted city, and we were the drug: the corruption of children, the mutilation of young men, the prostitution of women, the humiliation of the old, the division of the family, the division of the country-it had all been done in our name... The French city... had represented the opium stage of the addiction. With the Americans had begun the heroin phase."
James Fenton
"If we resist our passions, it is more because of their weakness than because of our strength."
Francois, duc de La Rochefoucauld
"Enduring habits I hate.... Yes, at the very bottom of my soul I feel grateful to all my misery and bouts of sickness and everything about me that is imperfect, because this sort of thing leaves me with a hundred backdoors through which I can escape from enduring habits."
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
"We're worn into grooves by Time—by our habits. In the end, these grooves are going to show whether we've been second rate or champions, each in his way in dispatching the affairs of every day. By choosing our habits, we determine the grooves into which Time will wear us; and these are grooves that enrich our lives and make for ease of mind, peace, happiness — achievement."
Frank B. Gilberth

Addiction Quotes 4
"Thoughts lead on to purposes; purposes go forth in action; actions form habits; habits decide character; and character fixes our destiny."
Tryon Edwards
"If an addict who has been completely cured starts smoking again he no longer experiences the discomfort of his first addiction. There exists, therefore, outside alkaloids and habit, a sense for opium, an intangible habit which lives on, despite the recasting of the organism. The dead drug leaves a ghost behind. At certain hours it haunts the house."
Jean Cocteau
"Better shun the bait than struggle in the snare."
John Dryden
"Don't do drugs because if you do drugs you'll go to prison, and drugs are really expensive in prison."

Hunter S. Thompson
"Treat your mind like a bad neighborhood - don't go there alone."

P. J. O'Rourke
"If addiction is judged by how long a dumb animal will sit pressing a lever to get a 'fix' of something, to its own detriment, then I would conclude that netnews is far more addictive than cocaine."
Rob Stampfli
"Whether talking about addiction, taxation [on cigarettes] or education [about smoking], there is always at the center of the conversation an essential conundrum: How come we’re selling this deadly stuff anyway?"
Anna Quindlen
"I am not addicted to nicotine. Why must I participate in your drug addiction?"
Ken Faver
"We love our habits more than our income, often more than our life."
Bertrand Russell
"For many, negative thinking is a habit, which over time, becomes an addiction... A lot of people suffer from this disease because negative thinking is addictive to each of the Big Three -- the mind, the body, and the emotions. If one doesn't get you, the others are waiting in the wings."
Peter McWilliams
"Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something. It is the vital energy to make choices and decisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones."

Addiction Quotes 2
"All drugs of any interest to any moderately intelligent person in America are now illegal."
Thomas Szasz
"A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is.... A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in."
C.S. Lewis
"All men are tempted. There is no man that lives that can't be broken down, provided it is the right temptation, put in the right spot."
Henry Ward Beecher
"What makes resisting temptation difficult for many people is they don't want to discourage it completely."
"He does not need opium. He has the gift of reverie."
Anais Nin
"I think psychedelics play a major part in what we do, but having said that, I feel that if somebody's going to experiment with those things they really need to educate themselves about them. People just taking the chemicals and diving in without having any kind of preparation about what they're about to experience tend to have no frame of reference, so they're missing everything flying by and all these new perspectives. It's just a waste. They reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment, but they end up going, 'Well, now I need that drug to get back there again.' The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug."
Maynard James Keenan
"Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others."
Jacob M. Braude
"If an addict who has been completely cured starts smoking again he no longer experiences the discomfort of his first addiction.

Jean Cocteau
"Nothing makes it easier to resist temptation than a proper bringing-up, a sound set of values - and witnesses."

"Addiction, obesity, starvation (anorexia nervosa) are political problems, not psychiatric: each condense and expresses a contest between the individual and some other person or persons in his environment over the control of the individual’s body."

Quotes On Achievement 7
"For we must consider that we shall be a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us, so that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us, we shall be made a story and a byword through the world."
John Winthrop
"In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo. You're judged by how you look, not by what you are. Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty."
Marilyn Monroe

Quotes From Khalil Gibran
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection. Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path, for they draw only corrupt blood. All that spirits desire, spirits attain.
An eye for an eye, and the whole world would be blind.
If the other person injures you, you may forget the injury; but if you injure him you will always remember.
Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.
I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don’t, they never were.
If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.
If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.
If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?
Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof. Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is its twin brother.

Guru Nanak's Message
Alone let him constantly meditate in solitude on that which is salutary for his soul, for he who meditates in solitude attains Supreme Bliss.
*
O God, my mind is fascinated with Thy lotus feet as the bumble-bee with the flower; night and day I thirst for them.
*
As fragrance abides in the flower
As reflection is within the mirror,
So does your Lord abide within you,
Why search for him without?
*
There is but one God, His name is Truth, He is the Creator, He fears none, He is without hate, He never dies, He is beyond the cycle of births and death... He was true in the beginning, He was true when the ages commenced and has ever been true, He is also true now.
*
God is one, but He has innumerable forms. He is the creator of all and He himself takes the human form.
Sayings of Guru Nanak
Tomorrow is Guru Nanak
Jayanti.

"Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!" -Anne Frank

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and endless plans: That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would come his way.

"WOMAN AT THE WELL"...
"I am a woman of no distinction...of little importance. I am a woman of no reputation...save that which is bad. You whisper as I pass by and cast judgmental glances, though you dont really take the time to look at me, or even get to know me.
For to be known is to be loved, and to be loved is to be known.
Otherwise, whats the point in doing either one of them in the first place? I WANT TO BE KNOWN. I want someone to look at my face and not just see two eyes, a nose, a mouth and two ears; But to see that i am.. and could be all my hopes, loves and fears.
But thats too much to hope for.. to wish for.. or pray for. So i don't... not anymore. Now i keep to myself, and by that i mean the pain that keeps me in my own private jail.. the pain thats brought me here at midday to this well.
No ask for a drink passing from these hands to your lips could ever be refreshing...only condemning, as I'm sure you condemn me now.. But you don't.
You're a man of no distinction; Though of utmost inportance. A man with little reputation, at least so far. You whisper and tell me to face what all those glances have been about, and you take the time to really look at me... but don't need to get to know.
For to be known is to be loved, and to be loved is to be known.
And you know me. You actually know me; all of me and everything about me. Every thought inside, and hair on top of my head; Every hurt stored up... every hope... every dread.. My past and my future, all i am and could be. You tell me everything, you tell me about ME!
And that which is spoken by another would bring hate and condemnation. Coming from you brings love, grace, mercy, hope and salvation. I've heard of one to come who could save a wretch like me, and here... in my presence... you say, I AM HE..
To be known is to be loved and to be loved is to be known.
And i just met you. But i love you. I don't know you, but i want to get to. Let me run back to town this is way to much just for me. There are others: brothers... sisters... lovers... haters.... The good and the bad, sinners and saints, who should hear what you've told me, who should see what you've shown me, who should taste what you gave me, who should feel how you forgave.
For to be known is to be loved, and to be loved is to be known.
And they all need this, too. We all do. Need it... for our own".
I didnt write this. It was written by Chris Kinsley and Drew Francis. But as soon as i read this, i felt like i was the woman speaking. It just cut really deep to all those feelings of pain, and hurt that we hide from the world around us when everyone thinks we're fine.
I wrote this to all my ladies out there. One time or the other in your life, you will be that woman at the well. For some of you it has happened.. for some its only just happening.. for some it is ahead. And for everyone of us, it will definitely be more than once. As you take time out to read this, just think of how Jesus has come to take away all that youve felt for forever.. all the bad feelings that youve had. He loves you, and he is the only one that can lift that burden off a woman of no distinction and make her into something beautiful. He did it for me... I guarantee you, he will do it for you... and if he doesn't, then hell freezes...
Thats all about the woman at the well.. as Jesus did it.

Top 10 Famous Quotes For Acceptance

THERE'S ONE FEELING THAT EVERYONE SHARES... DESPERATION.
...and you didn't read wrong.
I've been thinking about writing this blog for a while now, but i couldn't exactly make out what i wanted to write. As i sat back today and watched desperate housewives, i figured i would just write as it came... but that wasn't the only thing i figured. I figured that everyone, in one way the other in life, ...is desperate.
Mhmm... desperate... you are desperate... and if its any consolation to you, i am too... lol... if you have a rather low level of analysis, then you're probably sitting in your chair thinking - this girl is nuts. Theres no way im desperate. and if you're a guy, you're probably sipping on your coffee thinking - this is just another one of those naiive writers. Sorry to disappoint you, but im about to say it again. We are all desperate, and that 'we'? yes hunny. it includes you.
I've watched sooo many things happen in the 20 years that lived, and its pretty clear to me, that there is a lot we are yet to get control over. One of those things that we usually allow to overtake us, but by all mens need control over is our emotions. not very long ago, i wrote a song, and the last line in one of one of the verses went like this :- "emotions playing my enemy".
There are so many reasons why we get so desperate... - you're desperate because you have a cheating boyfriend - desperate for fidelity. You have an ex you're trying to get over, when you both know you're stuck on each other - desperate for an end. You're waiting for that text message or that call that never comes - desperate for a reply. You're waiting for your roommate to finally say its okay that you messed her stuff up - desperate for peace. You're fighting with your friend over flimsy stuff - desperate for reconciliation. You are the fat one among all your model figure slim friends - desperate for beauty. You're the one getting the d's on all the tests - desperate for success. All your friends have them a man, and it makes you uncomfortable that you don't - desperate for love.
As i watched the housewives today, i realised how each of them was clearly dealing with desperation, and how everyone faces it somehow. The point is, these desperations make us do certain things. Sometimes we realise that we are desperate, and we accept it, and therefore control what we do about it. Other times, we do not realise that our actions are a reflection of our desperation... not because we dont know that we are desperate, but because we dont want to admit it.
I've spent a lot of my life in desperation... even up until recently... my professor gave y a 19 out of 25 on a podcast, and tells me thats a good grade. Im desperate for success, i dont get C's. at least my 3.8 g.p.a and my transcript say that much. the moment i give into getting C's, and accept one C grade, thier never gon stop coming. My grand pa just died a few weeks ago, and if youve been following my blog, youve prolly read about that - ... im desperate for comfort. (yes, i still think of him, and cry..) I'm struggling in school.. being so far away from home and family, and trying to get a good education. - im desperate for a good and secure future. Of course im human too.. so im desperate for love, emotional satisfaction, acceptance, all that.
There are soo many things im desperate for.. but theres one thing above all else, that im desperate for... one thing i want... not because i can live with it, but because i cant live without it. One thing i dont want to go a day without... Im desperate... desperate for Jesus.
Here's what im saying.. we are all very desperate for different things, and its okay to admit them.. Im not saying stand on the roof of your house and gather a crowd just to scream to them that youre desperate for a job or for a man... you'll probably be stoned till you bleed... hehe. At least, admit them to yourself, and coe to terms with the fact that youre desperate for a lot. But while you put that into perspective, remember that its important to prioritize. Don't put your desperation for meaningless things before your desperation for important things. I have admitted that im desperate... not just to myself, but to the world as well... you're prolly not the only person reading this. But at the top of my priority list is God. I'm desperate for God, and every other thing comes after that..
So ask yourself the question... what are you desperate for?? and in what order have you put your desperations?? the actions you make everyday are a reflection of those desperations.. and believe it or not, it is clear to the world when you have misplaced priorities... trust me, there are people watching you.. everyday day that you live, and every step that you take... either because they like you and want to be like you, or because they hate you, and want to mess you up.. dont give your haters something to pick up on... #justsaying.
Its totally okay to be desperate, as long as you're desperate for the right reasons, and know how to control your actions when you realise that youre desperate for the wrong ones.
oh well... guess its time to go now...
thats all about desperation... as i do it..

I've spent a lot of my life in desperation... even up until recently... my professor gave y a 19 out of 25 on a podcast, and tells me thats a good grade. Im desperate for success, i dont get C's. at least my 3.8 g.p.a and my transcript say that much. the moment i give into getting C's, and accept one C grade, thier never gon stop coming. My grand pa just died a few weeks ago, and if youve been following my blog, youve prolly read about that - ... im desperate for comfort. (yes, i still think of him, and cry..) I'm struggling in school.. being so far away from home and family, and trying to get a good education. - im desperate for a good and secure future. Of course im human too.. so im desperate for love, emotional satisfaction, acceptance, all that.
There are soo many things im desperate for.. but theres one thing above all else, that im desperate for... one thing i want... not because i can live with it, but because i cant live without it. One thing i dont want to go a day without... Im desperate... desperate for Jesus.
Here's what im saying.. we are all very desperate for different things, and its okay to admit them.. Im not saying stand on the roof of your house and gather a crowd just to scream to them that youre desperate for a job or for a man... you'll probably be stoned till you bleed... hehe. At least, admit them to yourself, and coe to terms with the fact that youre desperate for a lot. But while you put that into perspective, remember that its important to prioritize. Don't put your desperation for meaningless things before your desperation for important things. I have admitted that im desperate... not just to myself, but to the world as well... you're prolly not the only person reading this. But at the top of my priority list is God. I'm desperate for God, and every other thing comes after that..
So ask yourself the question... what are you desperate for?? and in what order have you put your desperations?? the actions you make everyday are a reflection of those desperations.. and believe it or not, it is clear to the world when you have misplaced priorities... trust me, there are people watching you.. everyday day that you live, and every step that you take... either because they like you and want to be like you, or because they hate you, and want to mess you up.. dont give your haters something to pick up on... #justsaying.
Its totally okay to be desperate, as long as you're desperate for the right reasons, and know how to control your actions when you realise that youre desperate for the wrong ones.
oh well... guess its time to go now...
thats all about desperation... as i do it..

Words of Wisdom Of the Day # 300
"Asato Maa sad gamaya
Tamaso Maa jyotir gamaya
Mrityor Maa Amritam gamaya
Aum shanti shanti shanti"
God, please lead me (by giving me knowledge) from the unreal to the real;

The Right Mental Attitude
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.

SURROUNDED BY SAD PEOPLE....
Yes, you read it right...
Its Wednesday, 3rd November 2010.
Since Monday, I've been walking around school and my building, and everywhere i go, I see someone... Yh, you see people everyday too don't you? The only difference is, they are sad people. A lot of the people i've been bumping into lately are sad people.. This may sound wierd but thing about it. You see people smiling everyday, saying hi to each other, laughing at the cafeteria, and chilling on the lawns. You have no idea who these people are... you have no idea what thier backgrounds are... you have no idea what they are silently going through..
If you dont believe me, look at your life.. Isn't there soooo much youre hiding from the world? Isnt there so much you'd rather forget, and soo much you would give a left foot not to re-live? Isn't there soo much you wish you could erase from your life and make it perfect? Isn't there soo much you're dealing with.... right now?? even as you read this?? If you answer no to any of these questions, then i'm not sure you're living life, or living it the right way...
The person who last said hi to you after lunch may have just lost someone they love... The person you sat next to in class today may have just been through a breakup... You don't know why your roommate is working a million jobs and not spending at all? she may not have next semesters tuition. You're wondering why your friend isnt eating anything at all even when he's hungry? he may have a court hearing tomorrow.
What i am saying in essence is this. A lot happens in peoples lives everyday. Sooo much that you can never know by just looking at them. I'm not here to preach to anyone about being thankful for what you have cause others have it worse. Im saying, understand that everyday you walk out of your apartment, you're surrounded by people with problems... you're surrounded by people that cannot face the world... you're surrounded by people that walk with thier heads down... youre surrounded... surrounded by sad people... and don't walk away from it. I'm not saying go up to some random person and be like, "Oh hi, you're sad. tel me about your life. #kbye." You'll prolly get slapped.
Just last night, i walked into this girl. not planned at all. Nice girl, but we are not friends... AT ALL.. we've just never been able to get along. She was sad.. and just asking her what was wrong made her cry... It made me fee terrible.. As i smiled and was grateful for doing so much work that night, someone was crying for something that i didnt even know. it pierced my heart.... Today, i said hi to one of my friends who's usually the one to scream y name across the cafeteria and come say hi to me. He didnt sound that great today, and he looked really troubled. I asked him what was wrong, and he couldnt even talk. all he did was cup his face in his hands. This too pierced my heart. It hurt me that people were sad... people around me, and yet i was inadequate. However, there was something i could do. I could encourage them, send texts, nd most of all pray for them. So, thats what i did.
In essence, there are many people that you will come in contact with that are sad about situations that neither they or you will have control over, but theres a lot you can do to make them smile.. Send them a text message, write them a note, a bible verse, a prayer poem... dedicate a song to them, or better still write them one.. But whatever you do, never forget to pray for them. God is always willing to answer us when we pray, we just need to ask. And you never know, that little prayer you say may be the last one God needs to hear.
We have no choice but to be surrounded by sad people, but we have a choice about what we do concerning it... to another person, you're one of those sad people... If we all could take time to pray for someone when we notice things aren't good with them, then imagine how many people would be praying for you! or sending you text messages, writing you notes, dedicating you songs, or even a mix of all of those...
We are all different, but theres that one thing that all the people who belong to the body of Christ have in common - Jesus. So lets use him to reach out to people - whether we love them or not.
So, im praying for my two friends, sending them text messages... and trying to make them smile...
That all about being surrounded by sad people... as i do it..

The World is All Opportunities
We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.
