Don't Brush Aside An Existing Issue

The last we could say about solving family conflicts is our suggestion for open dialogue or better still maintaining an open line of communication. How do you solve a problem like Maria's? Maria needs an unfettered flow of communication.

It is hard to solve a problem if Maria is not talking or she still entertains shutting out a family member in question. Maria should realize that when the coldness grows between them ... having her head in the clouds and brushing aside an issue while it festers will probably only make it worse. Maria should be the first person who reaches out first... pick up the phone or drop a line ... no matter how hard it is.

Hawak Mo Ang Manibela

Kailangan hawak mo ang manibela sa lahat ng mga actions mo at desisyon. Yan ang pagtuuonan mo ng pansin ... hindi sa kung ano ang sasabihin ng iba at kung ano ang iniisip nila.

Don't make what other people say ... be the standard parameter in your decision making. Your actions should depend  in 3 things 1) sa kung saan ang tama 2) at kung ano ang naaayon sa ating paniwala. And the third one - Think about the end result & the repercussions and ask yourself: nakakabuti ba ito or nakakasama sa amin?

Don't put yourself inside the box ... huwag ikulong ang sarili para gaganda lang ang paningin at dating natin sa iba.

Pinoy Commentaries

Kung ang isang kaibigan ay naghouse to house "maritess" ng pinagtagpi-tagping kuwento tungkol sa latest tsismis at kasiraan ng iba sa HARAP mo ... beware!

Expect that he will do the same ... sa LIKOD mo.

Care Less

Don't make what others think of you ... your PRISON. And don't make what other people say ... your CAGES.

What others see in you ... is none of your business. Do we have more confidence in their opinion than we do our own?
