What's So Secret About Secret?

You can hear so many people mentioning:

The secret to success...
The secret formula....
The secret ingredient...
The secret to long life...
The secret to a happy life...

The question is...is it really a secret? To tell you the truth, "secret" is just a catchy word to get your attention, it triggers your curiousity. Humans are naturally curious!

We don't want to be left behind, so everything that exclude us makes us feel unworthy. We want to feel important so we feel we deserve to know things also.

We want to add something more to our life, especially on what we thought we lack! There's something missing and we don't want that. We feel empty and longing...so we search for those who knows something that we don't.

"The secret is just an idea that you haven't discovered yet."

Here's the thing, given the population, there are people who can have the same idea. The difference is that how they act upon it. It's either they hoard it or share it, timing also matters.

We are now in the information age, and all that we have to do is to focus on the things that can add value into our lives.

Life's realization after the death of your parents.

I lost my father when i was only 10, at that age I don't have the full capacity to understand what was happening. It was years after that the effects of not having a father around hurts me. The realization kicked in that life indeed is tough. There are people who will bully you, hurt you with words because you dont have parents around to protect you.

My parents are both overprotective, though they are opposite in styles, and now that overprotectiveness is gone. Here you realize that depending on your parents is not an option. The siblings bond became stronger, you will see them having their own struggles and caring for them especially the younger ones is necessary.

The people who maltreat you and your family will never be forgotten and will be avoided. But it is important to move-on and forgive them. There are so many nights I cried for God's help, I never retaliate and just leave everything in God's hands. Things can be aquire again but not memories, it is made but not lost, unless when you have alzhiemers or amnesia.

Life indeed is just like a wheel, sometimes you're up full of happiness and sometimes down full of sadness, but all these things will come to pass. God says:
