The Little Dream

I would like to write about this great little book, The Little Dream that my friend Jeryl Tan Yu authored, and her sister Richelle Jerika Yu illustrated.

The Little Dream, relates the story of a little girl who struggles to find what she is good at. One day, listening to her heart, she discovers her dream and goes on to achieve it.

Very gently written, and warmly illustrated, this great inspirational children's book will open the heart of every kid and adult who reads it.

It is, for sure, an inspiration to me.

Now, this book is more than an inspirational story. It is also a vehicle of hope for cancer patients, as the money raised from this book will go to a non-profit organization for cancer support groups.

This book is like a little sunshine that will bring hopes and smiles to every child and adult who reads it, and to cancer patients in the Philippines. It goes on sale July 15th, 2010.

Shock, and Life Crisis

I just turned 27 a few days ago, and it broke me down. I am still a student, have no work, no money, no successes. I was ashamed of myself beyond measures I could have imagined. From black hopelessness, some of it turned into anger. I decided that by the time I was 30 I would be financially independent, and living my life with purpose.


A few days later, I needed a break from studying for finals, and went to Borders. There I stumbled upon a book by Jack Canfield, "The Success Principles."


Since I have nothing to loose, and I really want to turn my life over, I decided to apply some of his principles to my life.
Yesterday, I started with the "Total Truth Letter" exercise and had some success with it. It seems that it released a lot of energy since I later was able to finish a number of tasks without even being tired (Usually I give up in the middle of one of those "chores").


Today, I felt down and blue again, and I realized that there was still some anger and resentment, particularly towards myself. I really hate myself for all the undecidedness and fear that prevent me from moving and being able to make choices. While I don't think I have completely come to term with this issue, I decided to commit myself (100%, no exception) to remembering all of my past successes followed by "The Forgiveness Affirmation", everyday, for a period of 13 weeks.


Even if I do not know what I want, even if I do not know how to achieve anything, to the least, these affirmation should help break my self defeating habits, and empower me with more confidence!


I want to change, and I will make myself change!
