“THE HIDDEN WONDERS OF A PENCIL…”

What's more important is what's inside.

I once came across with these messages that I guess would be a great thing to share with all of you. It is my hope and aspiration that this simple illustration might help, even in a small way, to change your outlook and perspectives of life and in one way or another, could help heal a broken heart and soul.

Here are five reasons why we should value the pencil and lessons to appreciate the inner you to the fullest: 

1. Everything you do will always leave a mark.
2. You can always correct the mistakes you make. 
3. What is important is what is inside of you. 
4. In life, you will undergo painful sharpening, which will only make you better. 
5. To be the best thing that it is, you must allow yourself to be held and guided by the hand that holds you.  

It's never too late to correct.

It would be a great approach that we may be able to help ourselves deal with our everyday lives as well as with others in a more positive way. We will need to be constantly sharpened. The essence of this may encourage us to know that we are special, with unique talents and distinct abilities. We should never allow ourselves to be discouraged and remember that each life is significant and has its own worth in this world. Living in this world entails a lot of struggles and enjoyment. But how we deal with life is really a matter of choice. So choose to be happy. Find joy and happiness in the simplest of things and see the beauty in each person you meet along the way. When times are difficult, just remind yourself that no pain comes to you without a purpose.

Perhaps, the purpose of life constitutes not all of the good times, not just to have fun and be merry, but to be useful, to be compassionate, and to share the love amongst others.  Let us put to heart that “Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil – it has no point”. And like the PENCIL, always remember that the most important thing in this world is what’s inside of us.
