My current mantra is “Ginusto mo yan.” I don’t know how to translate it in English because it loses its essence. I tell myself that it was my choice and that I should stand by my decision because I chose to take that path. Gets? Whenever I am frustrated about something, I analyze whether it is something that came into my life because I welcomed it with open arms or if it arrived on my lap unexpectedly. If it’s the former, then I end up feeling ungrateful. And then I suddenly feel motivated. I wonder for how long this “motivation” would last.
