we want what we deserve!

doing this kind of job is really stressfull! some people think that it is easy because with a click on my mouse I can create something new…a work of art made by my playful mind.

i tell you people who thinks that being a graphic artist is an easy job, YOU ARE WRONG! imagine conceptualizing  an idea which never existed before? its like inventing a machine that no one had ever thought of doing.  mine is original. a work of art brought about the experience in life and the experiences of other people that they shared with me.  

now for the record, how much do we get for doing this things? i tell you, it is not enough. we are not skilled worker who just need to read the manuals of the machine and start operating it. ours is diffrent.  it is unique.  no one has to teach us because it is innate in us.  its pure talent i should say…

now dont we deserve what we want! we should get what we deserve right? well anyways, we can also settle for that as of this moment! anyways we choose to be like this.  its a matter of taking what they  can offer! just for now i think because im still kind and willing.     

Thank God…you are blessed!

Ever thought of why some people are super blessed because they can have what they want, when they want it and how they want it? So good that many people are living in material things why so bad many cant even afford to eat a single meal?

We see this world as this clasic example of the battle between the rich and the poor.  We watch the daily news or read the news paper and we always end up sad after watching or reading.  It is as if this world is so cruel that we think we dont deserve what we have or we dont get what we want?

You see there is a great difference between what we have and what we want.  Since we dont have that much to get what we want, we end up envying others why they are so rich and famous. And us, left in the corner, feeling that we dont deserve what we have.  

Sometimes we need to see things in different views.  We always have to think positively.  Its not always safe to say I will soon become like them or in due time I will have all the things that I want.  Its being selfish to oneself and being greedy in anyway.  

Instead, count your blessings. Aim for the things that will not benefit your physical self but can full your spirit.  Always thank God because everyday you live is already a blessing from Him. 

iTS mE!
