With most of the days behind me, I can always ask: what kind of day was it? Was it a masterpiece?
More often than not, I wake up each day overwhelmed with so many things in mind, so many tasks to be done, at home, at work, thinking that I have all the time in the world to do what I want. But sometimes I end up missing out something that maybe if only I did my best, it could have been my life’s best opportunity, a masterpiece.

But now I realize that my life’s masterpiece starts with my willingness to do even the very small things – but to do them today with all my best. I believe that each day completes my entire life. I wonder what would happen if I think that each morning when I wake up, I was “born” and each night when I go to bed, I “die”. And that I would say I only have each day to give my best to create my masterpiece.
There are times that I feel bad of wasting my moments that I allow things to happen not the way it should be, instead of creating a masterpiece. And yes, sometimes I flop. Instead of taking actions, I’m stuck with my thoughts, overwhelmed by all these tasks I need to finish. Just like when I stop writing my blog because I’m not in my best mood, when I stop playing DOTA because I am not feeling at my best. But what if today was the only day I had to carry out the best in me? I have a choice. I have to continue my writing, I have to go on playing at my best just like drawing a masterpiece, even just for today. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes I fail but I always remember to try to do my best.
My motivation flows from what I do today at my best. That I don't just live, i live my dream, I dream myself ready. I don’t just hear things, rather I listen. I always look around and not just simply see things around me. I don’t hope, rather I believe. And I don’t simply think, I must know.
While it may be hard to believe that for the rest of my life each day will be a complete masterpiece, I can say at least today, I can really show up for myself. Today, I’m gonna live each moment as if it represents my entire life. I’m gonna live with my eyes widely open so that I won’t miss any opportunity. And I’m gonna live each day at my best so that at the end of the day, I go to bed thinking, I was at my best, and that I made this day a masterpiece.

Bons: thanks arnie! musta dyaN!
A very positive post. and thought-provoking, too. true, we have to make the best out of every situations. but sometimes in failing to make our best, we learn. Dapat din ang standard ng 'best' is not of how others view us, but how we view ourselves, and how we think our God view us.
Let's do everything for the glory of God, and everything will turn out a masterpiece. His masterpiece, and us as His instrument.
Bons: thank you nebz, how's life in Kuwait?
Living a single day as a masterpiece means living each breath as if the last.
Very positive post kuya bons!

"My soul finds rest in God alone: My salvation comes from Him." (Psalms 62:1)
this post is a masterpiece! a revelation of the blogger's inmost being.
By this fundamental choice of giving your best each day of your life, you are capable of giving your life direction and of progressing, with the help of grace, towards your endgoals.
Bons: thanks father! God Bless us all!
Ang ganda Bons na iyong muni-muni. Sa totoo lang di naman nagmamabilis ang mundo, iyong isang araw ay ganun pa rin katulad nung unang panahon. Ang tao lang ang nagmamabilis madalas. Sa totoo lang gusto ni Lord na maging masaya tayo sa mundong ito. Makita lang sana natin na yung simpleng plan ni Lord sa atin ay ating maramdaman at makita sa ating mga puso sa araw-araw nating buhay. God Bless!
Bons: oo nga po superlo, lahat ngayon nag aapura, naghahabol minsan nakakalimutan ng nam namin ang totoong buhay, yung simple at payapa.. salamat superlo!
make each day your masterpiece..
make each day count..
make each day worth spending and looking forward to...
make each day feel like it's your last..
nice reflections, bon. dami ko natutunan..
God bless!
Bons: thanks ATGBP! =) musta dyan sa SG!
Naalala ko tuloy ung sa blog ni Bo Sanchez reminding us that rich and poor have equal 24 hrs to spend. Pero nagkakaiba lang kung panu inuubos ang 24 hrs. Cguro magkakaiba man tau ng mga work, attitude in life, iisa pa rin naman ang goal natin lahat to enjoy life and to fulfill our dreams and syempre to do our best each time... each day.
Sana makagawa ka ng masterpiece today and everyday of your life!
Bons: Thanks Dormboy, naalala ko din yun kay Bo Sanchez, anyway, lets live our life and make the most out of it! cheers!
i believe everyday is, no matter what the outcome or endpoint of the day. because it is our own efforts, our own thinking, and our own actions that design a beautiful day, perfect or imperfect as it may seem. but for us, and even for the Lord, anything that we do for our satisfaction, and for His glory, is always a masterpiece.
Hope you'll have a masterpiece-ful day today, Bons!
Bons: thanks Bongkits! =) salamat sa pagbisita dito! God Bless you and your family!
namiss ko gumala sa bahay mo kuya boni...
nwei, salamt sa masterpiece na ito...
i was moved and encouraged...
hughugs...
Bons: hugs hugs! busy ka na kase sa mga shootings mo para sa commercials hehe! ingats palagi yhen
You should stop playing DOTA even if you are feeling your best. At least make sure that you are not one of those players who shout obscenities while playing. They annoy the hell out of my ears. :p
I guess we only begin to even judge what a masterpiece should look like if we have created several pieces in the past that we consider far from it. Those few failed attempts make us achieving the creation of our masterpiece more fulfilling, too. But that could just be me.
And I love the photo. :)
--
Bons: haha salamat sa pagdalaw vaj, kasarap mag DOTA eh! =) hekhek. thanks sa comment!
alam ko sa bawat kilos natin, isa na tayong masterpiece kasi work of art tayo ni God. Kelangan lang natin maging wise how to use it.
hohoh
--
Bons: tama ka dyan jason! =)
hahaha adik ka kuya boni, commercials ka jan.. naku wag ka baka maniwala sila... haha...
bon, miss kana ng bonistation.haha
ang sabi ng nanay ko, we should always do things with dignity kahit sa simpleng paghuhugas ng tinidor lang daw.. kasi kapag may dignity, sa isandaang tinidor na hinugasan, walang ni isa dun na may dumi pa.. and it goes to say, it doesn't mean it should be passionate because it may still lack dignity.. nor dedication.. as long as dignified yung ginagawa, it will always keep you on the right track.. pero ika nga, wala namang perfect na araw na ikaw ay makakagawa ng tama talaga palagi, as long as hindi ka makakagawa na pagsisihan mo sa habangbuhay, mas madaling makabawi..
--
Bons: agree!! maraming salamat gbert!! mabuhay po kayo =) apir!
malalim ang mga hininga mo habang tinitklado mo ang kompyuter...halata sa bawat naiiwan na tatak...at sa bawat paghabi mo ng iyong kamalayan...ramdam ko ang naghihimagsik mong kalooban...
aba...buti naman at lumabas na yan...sa ibang salita ...nanganak ka na nga!....
nagbabalik po!
--
Bons: welcome back Blu! =) salamat po sa pagbabasa at pagbibigay ng comment!! Bless yoU!
tulad ng kasabihang live life to the fullest.Each day we have the opportunity to be best in everything we do. We were created to excel and to conquer. we can make mistakes sometimes but it doesnt stop there. Wrong things somehow is needed to prune us. if by day ,you commit mistakes, no worries. it molds you to be the best person you can be.Mistakes are catalysts of change.
--
Bons: toomooh! hahah i like this "mistakes are the catalyst of change" yoo!!^^

What an awesome article Igan? Na motivate ako sa piece na ito at lalong sumarap ang pag higop ko sa mainit na kape ngayong umaga. Ganda!
--
Bons: sarap naman ng kape na yan! mainit na kape na maamoy mo pa ang usok nya sa isang malamig na umaga! =) one moment! one nescafe...
The most outstanding work of an artist or a craftsman--every waking day. I can get used to this, Sir Bons! Living each moment just like it'll be the the last day of forever.
It's giving our best or passing each day full of mediocrity.
I'll choose the former.

Bons: agree!! at sir bons talaga!? hehe. thanks ax!!

Profound!
I like this part:
"Today, I’m gonna live each moment as if it represents my entire life."
We should always be at our best, and if maybe for some our best isn't good enough -- we couldn't care less. Haha. Seriously, I agree with you all through-out. Hats off. This sounded coming from someone who has seen life but couldn't wait to see more of it.
Nice to meet you again Sir Bon/Mr. Bon/Bon lang

Bons: nice to meet you too mokong mykel! haha.
