          Blessed with intellect and a set of skills, we, the human race, have been placed on Earth for a purpose, and it is our duty in life to discover exactly what that purpose is. As stated in the Bible, “to whom much is given, much is expected.” I believe giving back to society is, quite simply, a responsibility.        Changing the world begins with improving who we are on the inside. We each have a unique identity and our own distinct thoughts. These thoughts often propel us to act. So, by mindfully centering our thoughts in a positive direction, we can improve our actions and thus our character. The positive impact I can make starts within myself; by becoming a truly giving person, I can change the world. While self-improvement may seem a passive process, it’s actually a challenge requiring daily practice. It involves continually controlling my thoughts and actions to determine the type of person I want to be. My mission ...

         Every new year, people always say "New Year, New Me", but the question is, are they really changing or let's say changing because it is on the trend?  I always believed that change comes on a process. It takes a lot of courage for a person to change and become better. We even make our own new year's resolution but at the end, we aren't really changed.           If a person is really down for a change, he will not wait for new year just for him to do.  Every day of your life is a new beginning, not just the first day of the year.  You can make daily resolutions, not just New Year Resolutions.  Regard every day as the beginning of your new, better, and happier life. Start every day of the year with feelings of happiness and with the anticipation that great and wonderful things are going to happen.   reference: https://www.integratedlifestrategies.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/ch...

             Everyone in the world has always been longing for equality. It  is not always about treating everyone the same it is about treating people in such a way that the  outcome   for each person can be the same . This means putting things in place to support people to achieve similar outcomes.       Equality of outcome can be achieved by making sure that everyone is supported to have access to resources and decision making and to be recognised, valued and respected. When supports are not put in place it usually results in exclusion even if this is not intended  because people from marginalised situations do not feel or know that they can attend a group, even if the mission statement says it is open to all. By following the checklists in Access All Areas you will discover a range of supports that can be put in place to offer a service based on the principal of equality of outcome.     ...

       ISULONG: TAMANG PAG-AARUGA PARA SA LAHAT NG BATA (CHILDREN'S MONTH 2018)        Hinding-hindi makukumpleto ang isang pamilya kung walang mga bata. Sila ang nagbibigay ng kasiyahan at kagalakan sa isang tahanan. Para sa mag-asawa, ang mga anak ay biyaya na ibinigay ng Panginoong Diyos.                 Isang malaking responsibilidad ang pagiging magulang. Wala ng bawian pa, sa madaling salita. Tanging pagmamahal, pagtitiis, at tiyaga ang kailangan upang magampanan nang maayos ang napalaking responsibilidad na ito Kinakailangang mahalin nila ang kanilang mga anak dahil ito ang bunga ng kanilang pagmamahal at pinaghirapan na inalagaan at iningatan s sinapupunan ng isangg ina sa loob ng siyam na buwan.      Walang patutunguhan ang ating buhay kapag walang pagtitiis, at kapag ito ay maipapamalas natin sa pag-aalaga ng ating mga anak, mapapalaki sila nang maayos at maging ang ...

At sa mabilis na pagsulong nito, ay masasabing nakakasabay na tayo sas kaunlaran at pagbabago ng teknolohiya ng mga mauunlad na bansa.                 Sadyang napakalaking tulong ang naibibigay ng gadgets sa pang araw-araw na buhay ng bawat isa sa atin na para nga sa iba, itinuturing na nilang itong buhay o kaya nama'y sinasabing hindi sila mabubuhay kung wala ang mga ito.
