Been through a lot but that doesn't stop me from hoping, dreaming, loving & living. Still quests for wisdom, still thirts for knowledge, still believes that the best things are yet to come. Concerned with pushing boundaries of self-discovery. Execises power through emotion, instinct, intellect & love. Not a natural socializer but keeps friendship in an entire lifetime. Dominating but can accept some restrictions in order to win in the end. A power house of pride & self-will. Passive-aggressive.

Will I Also Meet Five People on My Way to Heaven?

I’ve been hearing so much bout this book.

They say, "It’ll make you cry…"

Well, won’t believe till I found it for myself…

I did cry.

I was so moved when Edward finally met his last and 5th person in heaven.

Matter of fact, Mark & I planned to purchased it before during my Pixeleyes days.

But super thanks to Maru, coz she’ve sent me this, along with three other equally beautiful novels.

I strongly recommend this for those who often felt that they’re unimportant.

Realize how much you’ve mattered, how much you were loved….

Now, I’ve been askin’ myself…will I also meet five people in heaven?

Indeed, heaven can be found in the most unlikely corners.

We don’t have to die just to see a glimpse of heaven.

According to the book, “There are five people we meet in heaven. Each of them were in our lives for a reason. Each of them has a thing to teach us. We may not have known the reason at the time, and that is what heaven’s for…For understanding our lives on earth.”

“That there are no random acts. That we are all connected. The human spirit knows, deep down, that all lives intersect. That death doesn’t just take someone…it misses someone else. And in the small distance between being taken & being missed, lives are changed.”

“There’s a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth & death are part of a whole. That explains why we’re drawn to babies..and to funerals.”

“People think of heaven as a paradise garden, a place where they can float on clouds and laze in rivers & mountains.”

“This is the greates gift God can give us: to understand what happened in our lives. To have it explained. It is the peace we’ve been searching for.”

“No life is a waste. The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.”

“Dying is not the end of everything. We think, it is. But what happens on earth is only the beginning.”

“We wake up the next morning and have a fresh new world to start & work with, but we have something else, too. We have our yesterdays. And that’s what heaven is for. We gotta make sense of our yesterdays.”

“You’ll have peace when you make it with yourself.”

SACRIFICE. “We all make them. But you were angry over yours. You kept thinking about what you lost. Sacrifice is a part of life. It’s supposed to be. It’s not something to regret. It’s something to aspire. Little ones or big.”

“Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We often think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who’ve harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves.”

“Forgive…”

“No one is born with anger. And when we die, the soul is freed of it.”

For those who have been damaged by neglect and violence;

For those who were denied from affection;

For those who have lost their loved ones; hope, career & freedom;

For those who were mistreated;

For those who haven’t experienced tenderness in life;

For those who were agitated, embarrased, whacked, lashed & beaten;

For those who were disappointed, lost & adrift, lonely & desperate;

For those who were shutted out, misunderstood;

For those in pains and in doubts;

For those who were driven by anger & hatred;

This story is for you….

You’ll learn here the value of fair judgment;

Sacrifice;

Loyalty;

Devotion;

Picking yourself up;

Forgiveness;

Surrendering all your barriers;

And the greastest of ‘em all, LOVE!

I assure you, after reading this, the pain & weariness you held inside will vanish…

Every scar, every wound, every bad memory….
