Keep these and keep well

LIVING ALIVE By Dero Pedero

The Philippine STAR

 

You are what you eat, and what you don't eat. Similarly, life depends on what you keep and what you don't keep.

There are many things in life that people may keep but only a few are truly worth keeping.

Here is a list of what to keep and how to keep yourself for a brighter, happier and more fulfilling life.

 

22 Things To Keep

 

Keep calm. Life can be unnerving and if you don't make an effort to keep

collected and focused, you could easily lose your cool. Take regular,

conscious deep breaths to calm and center yourself.

 

Keep your chin up. Not only is it good for your posture and diminishes

your double chin, it also helps you maintain an "I can handle it"

attitude. By keeping your chin up, you can keep your head above water.

 

Keep your spirits high. Always maintain a positive and joyful attitude.

Remember that no one can perk you up like you yourself can. Keep your

spirits high when the going gets rough by focusing on your dreams and

counting your blessings.

 

Keep your word. The true measure of a man is if he keeps his word.

Honorable and trustworthy is the man who stands by what he says and

promises. It is important the think well before speaking because once a

word is uttered and released into the universe, its vibrations could no

longer be erased.

 

Keep in time with your inner drummer. Don't be swayed by others into

following the confusing beat of their drums. Although it is sometimes

necessary to adjust to the pace of others, it is best to keep in step with

your personal rhythm and dance to your own music.

 

Keep in touch with the child in you. The source of creativity in your life

is that little child within you. He questions, he marvels, he imagines and

invents. Stay in touch with him, and be young and creative for life!

 

Keep abreast with the times. The world is moving so fast. Know what's

happening, what's in style, what's au courant, what's relevant, what's

important. Learn the hottest trends and the latest in technology. Don't be

caught in a time warp or you'll be left behind.

 

Keep in shape. Your shape shows your state of health. Your body is the

vessel that you journey through life in. Keep it healthy and strong. Don't

be one of those people who say, "I'm in shape; round is a shape!"

 

Keep your mouth shut. People talk too much. We language ourselves to our

own destruction and defeat. Know when to talk and when to shut up. Avoid

being verbose. Oftentimes, silence speaks more eloquently than words.

 

Keep good friends. Good friends are hard to find. Nurture friendships that

make your plight through life easier, more meaningful and wonderful. Truly

poor is the man who has no good friends.

 

Keep great memories, not heavy objects. In the very end, good memories of

life are what we will be left with, not jewels and riches that we couldn't

bring when we finally go. Live each moment beautifully. Linked together,

these magical moments create a magnificent life.

 

Keep a diary. Writing a journal is therapeutic. Record the important

events in your life, your dreams and aspirations, even your failures and

disappointments. When you trace back events in your life, you are bound to

learn lessons from them as well as find great inspiration and strength.

 

Keep saying grace and thanks. Blessed is he who says grace before he eats

and gives thanks for all the gifts he receives daily. Maintain a thankful

attitude and focus on your blessings instead of disappointments.

 

Keep on moving forward. The universe moves forward in time. Don't get

stuck in the past; make an effort to move ahead to a better life. Drop

those unnecessary pieces of material and emotional baggage that weigh you

down and keep you from flying to your loftiest dreams.

 

Keep out of danger. He who exposes himself to danger finds it. Don't court

danger; avoid it. As they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of

cure. Look out for number one (that's you!), and always stay safe and

sound.

 

Keep up the good work. Success is built upon success. The more you do, the

more you achieve; the more you achieve, the better you get at doing it.

Make success a habit by keeping up the good work.

 

Keep young. Do everything in your power to stay strong, supple and

youthful. Think young; feel young. A wise man once said "It is never too

late to be what you might have been." Remember that age is a number and

that youth is an attitude.

 

Keep on dancing. Life is a dance through space and time. Embellish

whatever music life plays for you with your own fresh orchestration and

creative choreography. Be excited in your heart and keep your feet light

with happiness.

 

Keep on loving. Love is the reason we were created. Love diminishes when

hoarded but multiplies when shared. Give it and feel it overflow in your

heart. Love cures all sadness, pain and sorrow. Lonely is he who does not

give love away and therefore gets none in return.

 

Keep on dreaming. Most men, even if they are young, are dead that is, if

they could no longer dream. Our dreams are what keep us young and alive;

they give us that sparkle in our eyes. Our dreams keep us going even while

everything around us says, "Stop."

 

Keep on hoping. Never lose hope. Tomorrow will be another day that will

bring new hope and greater blessings. Keep faith in the abundance of the

universe and the mystery and perfection of life. Hope for nothing but the

best and that's what you will be granted.

 

Keep on believing. Belief is the mother of reality. What you believe

becomes your truth. Believe in yourself, believe in the magic of the

universe, believe in the power of your dreams. And most of all, believe

you can do it, so you can have all your heart's desires!

 

These You Must Not Keep

 

Don't keep up with the Joneses. Just because your neighbor bought a red

Ferrari, you, too, must get one. Don't join the bandwagon and keep away

from being one with the herd. Too much unhappiness in this world is caused

by comparisons ^ comparing yourself and trying to measure up with other

people. There is really no need to live up to others' expectations if it

would just bring you inconvenience and misery.

 

Don't keep issues and grudges. The reason most of us stay miserable is

because we keep issues, grudges, and problems. Detox yourself of

complaints and issues that keep you from being the best that you could be.

Try to solve all problems that beset you; never leave anything unresolved.

The questions and puzzles of life are what make it challenging and

exciting.

 

Don't keep resentments and memories of painful experiences. Life is not a

bed of roses so you must learn to let go of negative feelings and memories

of painful experiences. It's hard to go on living with a heavy heart.

Pardon, forgive, forget if you can, and move on.

[Zerreit]

I normally won't waste time with your kind, but my family comes first, and you have hurt one of my family. If you do not leave my family alone, I will make you realize in the most horrible way you can possibly imagine that you have messed with the wrong family.

[Lipstick]

Beloved,

 

You make me happy everyday. The last 3 days, however, have been most overwhelming and touching. Last night, you made me the happiest woman in the world. I look forward to telling our girls the good news together. I think your Dad would be very happy too to hear it from us.

I like you a lot, guess more than I bargained for.

How i wish i could be in your world right now.

How i wish i was holding your hand walking on barefoot at a beach.

You are indeed too far away from me, as I am to you.

 

Was i able to thank you for appreciating who I really am?

Did I utter the words, of wanting to be with you.

We are two different people from two different worlds.

Somehow we manage to meet, not personally but thru spirit.

 

I am thankfull given the chance to know the person you are.

Thankfull, for letting me in to your heart.

How can i forget, the moments we spent together.

Simply talking about life and how we see it.

How well we had live.

 

We have boundaries but not limitation to seek the wonders of life.

I may not be perfect, i may not be your beauty queen.

I have nothing to offer, nothing to give but one...

 

The purest thing i can let go, to someone who would mean much

more than my life, more than what i have.

I want you to accept my simple gift, my heart....

which i believe truly belongs to you.

BLEED

 

We've met, we had love.

Everything turns out to be the best.

 

Now as i recall, i can't even remember the last time you said, you care.

The first time was intense, the thrill was so high.

What happened now?

 

I wanted to think, it was me who did wrong.

That things did not last.

I went away, of not giving you another chance, your last chance.

To show us the importance of our existence in your life.

But should we wait, isn't nine years enough?

 

Too many questions come and go in my mind whenever i think of you.

Times i wonder what is there for us, given i should have stayed longer ?

Is there really us or just you?

 

Now my heart bleeds, not because i have loss you.

My heart bleeds for my Macoi.

My heart bleeds for not bein able to see you both play basketball.

My heart bleeds for the time loss, and for more time you'll loose

of not seein him grow, of not seein how wonderfull he is.

But then again, its your lost not mine.

 

Now i ask myself...

As I look at my heart...

If it had cry blood.

Or if really had bleed.

And I rejoice that it has not.

For everything that turn out to be blood, the stain...

Were all made up by my imagination.

How i wish it was really my imagination.

[irshes]

M,

 

Your scent drives me crazy.

Once more, I have you wrapped around my finger.

Damn, I'm gonna enjoy this. :evil:

 

T.

[Wyld]

 

..and i'd give up forever to touch you.

 

yes i would ... i yearn to touch you; feel you against me; smell you...

 

but it is not meant to be. at least not now.

 

soon i hope.

 

till then... i yearn.

[Mayella]

the ebbing of the tide is inevitable, probably because we didn't try too hard or it just wasn't meant to be. i have accepted it a long time ago, for it seemed there was nothing to look forward to in the future anyway, right from the start. it was good while it lasted. i will only have fond memories of it. there are no hard feelings whatsoever for i have learned so much from the experience. i wish you well always.

Dance with me, I want to be your partner.

Can't you see the music is just starting?

Night is falling, and I am falling.

Dance with me.

 

Fantasy could never be so giving.

I feel free, I hope that you are willing.

Pick your feet up, and kick your feet up.

Dance with me.

Let it lift you off the ground.

Starry eyes, and love is all around us.

I can take you if you want to go.

C,

 

you don't have to know how badly it's breaking me up.

I'd prefer you think of me as rotten to the core....

this just about sums it up....

 

You Can't Be Too Strong (Graham Parker)

 

Did they tear you out, with talons of steel

And give you a shot, so that you wouldn't feel

And wash it away, as if it wasn't real.

 

It's just a mistake, I won't have to face

Don't give it a name, don't give it a place

Don't give it a chance, it's lucky in a way.

 

It must have felt strange, to find me inside you

I hadn't intended to stay

If you want to keep it right, put it to sleep at night

Squeeze it until it could say

 

You can't be too strong. You can't be too strong

You can't be too strong

You can't be too strong. You decide what's wrong.

 

Well I ain't gonna cry, I'm gonna rejoice

And shout myself dry, and go see the boys

They'll laugh when I say, I left it overseas.

 

Yeah babe I know it gets dark, down by Luna Park

But evrybody else, is squeezing out a spark

That happened in the heat, somewhere in the dark, in the dark.

 

The doctor gets nervous, completing the service

He's all rubber gloves and no head

He fumbles the light switch, it's just another minor hitch

Wishes to God he was dead.

 

But you can't be too strong, you can't be too strong

You can't be too strong

You can't be too strong. You decide what's wrong.

 

You can't be too strong. You decide what's wrong.

Can't be too hard, too tough, too rough, too right, too wrong

And you, can't be too strong

Baby you can't be too strong.

Why are you doing this to me,

just when I was ready to give up on you

You stared at me,

Like I was the apple of your eyes

Suddenly the world melted and it was only you and me

 

and then, after one magical night

you slack and hide from view

 

quit!!!

 

W

 

Whatever it takes,

or how my heart breaks

I will be right here waiting for you.

 

Why do I keep writing here, your never gonna read this anyway.

[Guest chunky]

We made love for the last time,

 

but the love didn't end there.

 

The scent of you still lingers

 

In my mind and in the air.

 

Was I fated to shutdown

 

was I made to slumber deep?

 

When I woke up in the morning

 

You, I can no longer keep.

 

I knew you spoke while I was dreaming.

 

I knew you told me things.

 

Just couldn't bring myself to wake

 

So to you I could cling.

 

You have made me what I am.

 

You have made me whole.

 

But now that you have left,

 

What would be of my soul?

 

I can always hold me back,

 

I can always ignore your presence.

 

But still I pine for you and me,

 

it doesn't make any sense.

 

We said that we'd forget each other,

 

That's easier said than done.

 

Even though you're not with me

 

You're never truly gone.
