THINK OTHERS BETTER THAN OURSELVES

SELFISH. Someone who lacks consideration for others;
who is mainly concerned with one’s personal profit or pleasure.
Yung palaging “ako” ang inuuna sa kahit anong sitwasyon —
sa sakayan ng jeep, pila sa cr, sa buffet, sa pag-shopping,
sa trabaho, sa negosyo, and so the list goes on .

Ang iba ay hindi nila pansin na minsan sila ay nagiging makasarili na.
Marahil ay sobrang focus nila sa sarili, nawalan na sila ng interes sa
pakiramdam o concern sa iba. Here’s what we can remind ourselves
if ever we realize that our intentions are being self-centered:

DO NOTHING OUT OF SELFISH AMBITION

One of the ways to avoid being selfish is to remind ourselves not to be one.
Paano natin malalaman kung ang ginagawa natin ay hindi naka-sentro sa atin?
We might want to ask these questions to evaluate:

“Para kanino ba ako nagta-trabaho?”
“Para saan ba ang pag-iipon kong ito?”
“Bakit gusto kong sumikat at mahalin ng tao?”
“Am I aspiring to achieve out of my ambition or be of service to other people?”

Baka kailangan na nating mag-check ng ating intentions.
Baka kasi masyado na tayong nag-fo-focus sa ating sarili,
at nakalimutan nang dapat ay…

DON’T TRY TO IMPRESS OTHERS

Remember, our identity doesn’t come from people
to the point that we are obliged to please them.
Yung tipong, kung hindi natin na-please ang ibang tao,
tayo ay hindi sapat, less of value at hindi worthy ng atensyon.

Kaya tayo nagiging selfish at times ay dahil sa maling intensyon ng ating puso.
Laging tandaan, we will never be happy when we choose to live the rest of our lives pleasing people.
The void in our hearts can only be filled by the Lord.

THINK OF OTHERS TOO 

We might regard ourselves as someone who is better, knowledgeable,
resourceful, talented and intelligent. When there are some people we
know who has the potential to achieve more, this is a good opportunity
for us to acknowledge them, and even lift them up when they feel discouraged.

Thinking and putting others above ourselves is being selfless.
Little by little, we are already creating an atmosphere
of gratitude, appreciation, camaraderie and service.
Yung makita nating masaya ang ibang tao through this.

“Ang pinakamasarap na maramdaman ay yung masaya tayo dahil nagtagumpay ang ating kapwa.”
-Chinkee Tan. Filipino Motivational Speaker.

THINK. REFLECT. APPLY.

• Aware ka ba sa needs ng iyong mga family, relatives, friends?
• Ang time at effort mo ba ay nakaukol lang sa pagtupad ng iyong pangarap?
• Kailan mo huling isinantabi muna ang iyong sarili upang tugunan ang pangangailangan ng iyong kapwa?
