It’s hard when you’re struggling with weight issues. Other people say, you don’t need to lose weight, and yet other people say, you’ve gained so much weight, you need to lose some. Crazy, huh? There’s this friend of mine who’s obsessed with weight loss to the point where her weight would always be on a constant  yo-yo. Meaning, she’ll lose 10 pounds, and then gain it back, then lose it again, and gain it back again. Of course, I told her this is not healthy. It would be healthier to lose that extra weight, and then just maintain it. But she said it’s too hard to maintain it. Like everything in life, all she needs is determination and discipline. Wouldn’t you agree?

My brother is complaining about hair fall. He told me he was combing his hair after shower today, and there was a lot of hair falling! He’s young, so why is he losing hair? Okay, I told him, no need to be melodramatic about it. I’m sure it’s just stress-related or has something to do with his lack of nutrients. Or maybe, it’s because his scalp doesn’t like his shampoo, or that his diet is out of whack. I’m no expert when it comes to hair, but I do know that when there’s something wrong with our skin, hair, or nails, that normally means there is some underlying cause. So I told him better to buy the best hair loss shampoo available out there, or consult a doctor, change his diet or something, or maybe just wait until it goes away. Which do you think is the best advice?

Ever felt this way before? Maybe you’re in love!

Yeah, I agree!!!

Don’t waste your time and life thinking of what could have been’s. Don’t dwell on the past. And definitely don’t dwell on regrets. Because there is a reason for everything. Accept things and move on!

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock.Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded.

As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.

The peasant learned what many others never understand.
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one’s condition.

I’ve never been lucky when it come to contests. I don’t know, maybe contests are just not for me. LOL. I’ve entered a lot of contests in the span of many years, and not one did I ever win. Just last week, I entered an online writing contest where the price is an ipod touch 3rd gen that looks really cool. Well, surprise, surprise, I still didn’t win. Then also a couple of days earlier, I entered a certain draw, hoping I could win some cash, still… nothing. Do you believe in luck? Some people really do have a knack for these contests, and yet some people don’t. Think you can explain it?
