humility ….
I am very snappy … I get easily annoyed with programmers that takes a while to figure out codes. I get annoyed with people who open their mouth but have no idea what they talk about. I get annoyed with people who tends to announce to the world when they are going on vacation to places that I deem crap.
Yup, I have an attitude problem or should I say I had an attitude problem.
Last night I had another bout of “snappiness.” I got annoyed with an acquaintance because of her “kayabangan.” She has been posting to Facebook, “oh look I am going to Las Vegas”, “I am going to Florida …”, “I have this gadget …” So last night I told myself, I will put a stop your “kayabangan” I am going to take photos of my gadgets and my travels and I am going to post it on Facebook for you to see. Para matapos na ang kayabangan mo, akala mo ikaw lang.
….then this morning I woke up in a deep melancholy. Sino ba talaga ang mayabang? What right do I have to get angry with my colleagues for they cannot comprehend codes that I deem simple. I should be thankful for having an analytical mind.
Do I have the right to get annoyed with this person if she is proud that she will be travelling to Las Vegas or Florida? No, I should be thankful to God for giving me opportunities to visit and travel to places that she can only dream of. Do I have to accentuate that I can afford the latest gadgets so I can satisfy my whim? No, for everything even material things come from God. In short, I realized ako pala ang mayabang.
It is a lesson learned …
Whatever material possesions that I have is not really mine … it is from the grace of God …
What I am now is because of God’s mercy ….
I am nothing without God …
Father God, I seek you with all my heart .. do not let me stray from your commands. Your words I have hidden in my heart that I may not sin against thee …
