NAPAKARAMING insecurities sa sarili at sa kanyang buhay noon ang Kapuso actress na si Heart Evangelista.
Normal lang naman daw sa isang tao ang makaramdam ng ganito ngunit kailangang labanan at ma-overcome habang naglalakbay at humaharap sa mga challenges ng buhay.
Napakaraming inspiring message ni Heart sa ginanap na “Love Yourself Live! How Self-Love Can Save You” online discussion kamakailan kung saan tinalakay ang kahalagahan ng self-love sa women empowerment.
“When I was young, I would have so much insecurities. You know, I was such a people pleaser. I mean, I still am because I want to make people happy, but I make sure to make time to make myself happy,” simulang pahayag ng misis ni Chiz Escudero.
“And I really prioritize that and I’m not sorry about that because it makes such a huge difference.
“We all have problems. We all have our crosses to carry. So many people to take care of, yung family, yung friends, and everybody that relies on you.
“But it really makes such a huge difference. You just pause and you take time for yourself, and you’ll be surprised, many other beautiful things you could do for other people when you put yourself first and when you love yourself,” lahad pa ng Kapuso actress.
Sa tanong kung ano ba ang meaning ng “happiness” para sa kanya, “You just have to accept the things you cannot change, the things that are really frustrating, and you just have to go with the flow.
“There are so many problems. Sometimes, you feel that it’s never-ending. But, honestly, this too shall pass. Sometimes things frustrate you, again, you just have to accept that it is what it is.
“But there are other things you could do to make you happy. You can take another route, ‘di ba? Some things will just end up to be perfectly the way it is for you. So, that’s just how it is,” ani Heart.
Kailangan din daw matutunan ng bawat isa sa atin ang maging positibo lagi kahit na puro kanegahan na ang nangyayari sa ating buhay.
“I always see the beauty in a situation, for example, this situation says ‘no’ to me, I honestly haven’t cried about something like that since, I know it’s a bit serious but when I had a miscarriage and I used to plan my life out so much.
“Like, ‘Okay, when I’m aged this, I’m gonna ganyan-ganyan. When I’m aged this, I’m gonna have this, I’m gonna have that.’
“I really planned my marriage and I remember on the second month I got pregnant and I had twins. First, I lost the first baby, then the second baby.
“I was so, so depressed, so, so sad. But after that, I didn’t even question God. I didn’t even doubt. I didn’t even have fault. I had nothing.
“I had nothing bad to say, no questions whatsoever, because sometimes you just have to trust that it is for a reason.
“Even if you feel it’s for a bad reason or ‘Am I a bad person?’ No. It’ll always be for a good reason,” chika pa ni Heart.
Sabi sa kanya ng doktor, nu’ng mawala ang isa sa dapat sanay kambal na anak nila ni Chiz, posibleng magkaroon ito ng mas maraming complications sa isa pang sanggol sa kanyang sinapupunan.
“That’s why I said, ‘Okay. I’m not gonna question, you know, and I accept this.’ After that, everything else in my life I’ve accepted with a smile. Maybe with a sad heart, but I’m hopeful.
“Sometimes if you dwell so much about something that you’re not really supposed to dwell on, you’re gonna miss your next flight to your next destination,” ang pahayag pa ni Heart.
