Special Feature: Looking Beyond

I HOPE THE WORLD SLEEPS WELL. I heard this one time while watching a movie, forgive me now for I can’t remember the title anymore. No, not the memory gap, but it’s just me…only when I am finished watching a movie. Oh! And don’t ask me who are the actor and actresses, too. I simply do not pay attention to them. It’s the plot of the story, or the scenery behind them that I closely watched and mindful of.

You see how simple are these people in the movie? Not the Philippine cinema though. I am talking about the many foreign movies that we watched in our life. You see how they dressed up, how they shoot the plots, the story is the essence, unmindful of what they wear, or is it the same dress again the next day, you think so?! But yes, it is still the same dress you see from start to almost finishing the movie. Funny, yes it is. However, it teaches us lessons behind the movie. To live simpler and do better.

These and more are many of the unfolding life’s lessons in what we read, what we hear and what we see around us. That is if you watch and read beyond. May it be a movie, an inspirational book, or a theater play in school that depicts true to life existence?

One of the thousands promises from God’s word states, your beauty should come from the inside. It should come from the heart. This is that lasts. Your beauty should be a gentle and quiet spirit. In God’s sight this is of great worth and no amount of money can buy it.

What a beautiful promise of God’s love to us, isn’t it? The many wonders of the Lord’s promises are in fact what many of us have faith on. Correct me if am wrong, isn’t that only with God’s promise of eternal life that we continue to learn life’s lessoned and walk in HIS WAYS?

There are so many things around that we need to open our eyes. It is as simple as SMILE so the world will smile at you. Do otherwise and you get the same thing. Hey, this is the real life around you. We will never learn every opportunity that comes along if we will not open our heart and our eyes to obvious reasons. You never know, answers are just a second distant to your direction. As the saying goes, we may be looking too far, and that what we are looking is just right in front of you. Or is it from the movie, again?!!!

So, how do you sleep well at night?!

Life is good. Live life, love life!
