Happiness Through Strategizing

Step One: Mag-Isip

First, isipin mo muna kung ano ba talaga gusto mo. Consider the rewards. Magiging masaya ka ba? May mapapasaya ka ba? Ano ba talaga?

Step Two: Mag-Isip pa rin
Magpakasira ng ulo sa kakaisip Consider the consequences. Consider the risks. Mapapahiya ka b? May mapapala ka b? Mapaninindigan mo b? May masasaktan ba?

Step Three: Strategize
Dito papasok ang “pa-effect.” Dito mo palalabasin na may gusto ka pero nde mo muna sasabihin. This is the safety zone. May pinararating ka pero you’re not yet sure. May mga device ka (i.e., words) na nde makakapahiya sa yo o makasasakit ng tao. Parang nagpapaalam ka para nde magulat yun mga tao.

Step Four: Tama na Pag-iisp.
Just stop. Just assess how you feel. All reason and logic might not matter in the end.

Step Five: Be Bold
Wala nang hiya hiya. There’s no turning back.

Step Six: Do it.


Wish it were that simple.
