Advice from Archbishop Socrates Villegas when tired and stress.

Full homily: • Tired and Weary?
We have forgotten to be SMALL. We have forgotten to be LITTLE, that there is GREATNESS in being SMALL and in being LITTLE. Ang ating buong Buhay gusto natin, number 1. Gusto natin, TAAS NG TAAS. Gusto natin, MAS MAYAMAN. Gusto natin, MAS MALAKAS. Gusto natin, MAS MAY KONEKSYON. THIS IS TIRING! THIS IS STRESSFUL! THIS IS CAUSING OUR ANXIETY! Ano ang ginagawa natin? At lalo pa nating gustong TUMAAS NG TUMAAS NG TUMAAS! Sa pananaw, THE TALLER, THE BETTER! THE HIGHER, THE BETTER! THE RICHER, THE BETTER! THE MORE POPULAR, THE BETTER! THE MORE LIKES, THE BETTER!
But, there is GREATNESS in being little. There is GREATNESS in being SMALL. Mayroong kadakilaan at mayroong kapayapaan iyong Makita nating maliit na tao lang po ako, at Hindi ko kailangang mag-ambisyong malaki. Hindi ko kailangang mag-ambisyong makalipad. Because to be little is TO BE GREAT in the eyes of the Lord. WE HAVE FORGOTTEN TO BE LITTLE.
(We have forgotten to be SMALL. We have forgotten to be LITTLE, that there is GREATNESS in being SMALL and in being LITTLE. Our whole life we want number 1. We want to get HIGH AND HIGH. What we want, RICHER. What we want, STRONGER. What we want, MORE CONNECTIONS. THIS IS TIRING! THIS IS STRESSFUL! THIS IS CAUSING OUR ANXIETY! What are we doing? And we even want more to GET HIGHER AND HIGHER AND HIGHER! In our vision, THE TALLER, THE BETTER! THE HIGHER, THE BETTER! THE RICHER, THE BETTER! THE MORE POPULAR, THE BETTER! THE MORE LIKES, THE BETTER!
But, there is GREATNESS in being little. There is GREATNESS in being SMALL. There is GREATNESS and there is PEACE when we see that "I am only a small person, and I DO NOT NEED to have high AMBITION . I DO NOT NEED TO HAVE AN AMBITION TO FLY." Because to be little is TO BE GREAT in the eyes of the Lord. WE HAVE FORGOTTEN TO BE LITTLE.)
