BILLBOARD HOT 100 TOP 20 COUNTDOWN for the Week of October 21, 2017

TODAY'S FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

The most important thing is to enjoy your life. To be HAPPY. It's all that matters. - Audrey Hepburn

Your life is an occasion. Rise to it. Keep your sense of humor, keep your interest in things, keep your vitality intact. Be happy anywhere you go. For when your mind is happy, you see truth wherever you look. Truth is all there is. It’s like when you’ve learned how to read – you can then read anywhere you go. You find God anywhere you go. To not miss out on happiness is to not not miss out on Him. Have a happy journey.

The art of being happy lies in the power of finding happiness in ordinary things. Life doesn't force us to be the best, it only asks that we try our best. The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved, loved for ourselves, or rather loved in spite of ourselves.The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect."Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts." Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.

Today's Food for Thought (October 11, 2017) and Billboard Philippines Top 20 Countdown for October 9, 2017

Woodrow Wilson says: The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.

What you experience empowers you. And true power takes place when as you face adversities and oppositions, you are able to hold on determined to make it through. When as you go 'beyond your depth', you are able to swim against the current and make it upstream. Swim with God. For no matter if you keep your head above water, in time you will tire. In the deep end, when you feel the waters overcoming you, that is where He wants you to want Him; where He wants you to know He is your buoyancy in your swim. Rough waters and all, He'll carry you through the shore safe and dry.

Experience is the thing that puts the muscle and the breath and the warm blood into any activities you want to accomplish. Life is a constant struggle. Without struggling, man cannot succeed. Life is made of small jumps over great obstacles. It's in the courage of getting through them that makes life challenging and exciting. Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory. It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, It's important for you to understand that your experience facing and overcoming adversity is actually one of your biggest advantages. My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world.
