Rowena Z. Luna - Life


 Life, as they say, is about falling seven times and getting up eight times. I won’t argue with that, except for the fact that I don’t deem anything as a failure---unwanted circumstances--- perhaps. Predicament is an element of life that we all have to deal with; it could bring about so much stress, and could be very exhausting, especially when one is not equipped with confidence. Its role depends on how we take it. This ordeal, that on one occasion--- we unwillingly contain---can one day be reflected on as the best lessons ever learned. Out of these disappointments comes an enhanced, unwavering combatant. Courage could then take the place of fear, strength could soon outweigh fragility. “Life is a tough proposition, and the first hundred years are the hardest.” (Wilson Mizner).

Whenever I go through challenges, the first things that I try to think of are its possible solutions---the ones that provide the most promising results. I try to think of several ways and options; then pick what is considered as the best choice. This course of action also defines its cause. Knowing its core may not always lead to its cure, yet, it allows me to have a clearer examination; a more concrete analysis, that often---if not for all time---heads to a substantial decision.  In addition, this means assent to acceptance of whatever imperfection there is, which serves as a gateway to a comprehensive evaluation; to further reconsider my actions.

We will not always achieve the desired effect---and with that we should also be aware of. When preferences won’t seem to work, I at least try to minimize whatever consequences the situation may lead to. Carrying it out should not be its only focal point; foolish are those who blame themselves when aim remains unaccomplished.

I don’t dwell too much on its unconstructive parts, knowing too well that these won’t make things easier. It is not wise to misuse much time weeping over what could never be undone. I do believe that there is so much more that needs to be accomplished; things that are of much importance, that I do not commit the mistake of spending more time on unhelpful things. True, these, too, have to be evaluated---but not more than what is truly necessary.

I, at all times, make an effort to focus on solutions; hoping to come up with an objective end. Once choice is made, appropriate steps should then be taken. These measures would probably be beneficial, but are most of the times complicated, but when one is trying to come out victorious, none is measured as difficult.

Not having the luxury of time to spend on these obstructive things pushes me to simply move on, to just try to do things better; to walk an extra mile, to aim not commit similar missteps. It drives me to learn every lesson, to discover whatever significance the circumstances may have, to uncover each message, to reveal its meaning.

I have gone through several mishaps; probably less in comparison to what others come upon or it just depends on how we perceive it. Most of these things were results of recklessness, mistakes that we did not even intend to commit. I stopped using the lousy excuse of losing control of these.  We can always come up with something. It is just a choice of doing, or not doing---of giving up---or to not even fight at all.

Each morning puts a man on trial and each evening passes judgment.” (Roy L. Smith).  I do not want to spend sleepless nights wondering what to do, be it work-related or personal dilemma. Things could get very frustrating at work. When we failed to get the 99.9% percent of accuracy that the client required, we had to find a way to work that out. We knew that it was never too late to better what was already good, to improve what was fine; to enrich what seemed to be almost flawless. We checked every detail, until everything was close to perfection. It was tiring and extremely demanding, but then it proved to be truly satisfying.

True, life is not about perfection, and neither it is about repudiation. It is how we choose to live it, and how we put up with that choice. It is not how we endure pain, but how we get over it. We may decide to admit defeat, but we may opt to wrestle it.

Welcome to my website. This is where you get to see the real me, for this is a compilation of my thoughts and ideas. Most of these works have been written during my coffee breaks. I find writing as therapeutic, an interesting mean of expressing one’s feelings. Here, you will get to know me better, but please be reminded that I may not feel the same way anymore, for these have been written months ago.



Here, you’ll get to see who I was…and, in some pages, who I am.
