These words of wisdom are universal and good for the soul, so you can also take what resonates with you.As one of the pillars of OPM, Regine Velasquez’s advice will certainly leave a huge impact on newcomers like JM Yosures, <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/tawagngtanghalan" target="_blank">Tawag Ng Tanghalan Season 4</a> Grand Champion. JM recalls the Asia’s Songbird’s comment to treat every performance as if it’s his last, “Every performance is different. Every stage is different. Pag nagawa mo na, di mo na mababalikan yung stage na yun. So, you always have to give your best.”In the world of showbiz, it’s normal to encounter people aiming for the same dream. The competition is tough and sometimes comparison is inevitable. Thankfully, Janella Salvador learned from someone’s advice that all she has to do is focus on her own path. “Iba-iba tayo ng pinagdadaanan. Iba-iba tayo ng story,” says the new-gen Valentina.No two stories are the same – this is what ex-<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/pbbs9" target="_blank">PBB Connect</a> housemate Amanda Zamora is keeping to heart. Thanks to that person who advised her to stop comparing herself to others, “I was reminded na everyone has their own journey, has their own purpose in life. Kaya we shouldn’t want to be on the same road as everyone else.”As Jerome Ponce learned, “Hindi tayo pare-parehas ng karera.”And if you feel like life is a race but time is running out, take this advice that “Connected” star Chico Alicaya lives by, “Take one step at a time. I think that’s so hard to find nowadays. I’m practicing it and it really helps me everyday. Kasi minsan na-o-overhwhelm ako sa lahat ng mga dreams ko, sa lahat ng mga gusto kong gawin. So, nakakalimutan ko to live in the present and enjoy the journey. The destination will just come naman, eh, as long as you always show up.”Do you feel like nothing is happening in your life? Don’t be too hard on yourself. Jeremy G shares the heartwarming message he got from his father during the pandemic when he was alone and feeling stagnant, “Pag may mga times na ganito or whenever you feel like na walang nagyari, isipin mo na lang kung bakit ka andun in the first place. Always go back to your roots.” His dad told him to listen to his heart, and do what he’s passionate about because he has his family’s support. Jeremy is back to solo living but his dad’s advice keeps him strong.Similarly, Jimboy Martin was enlightened by a quote he read, “You’re not buried, you’re planted.” It means, should you find yourself in a dark place, remember that God may be using that season to make you grow. As Jimboy puts it, “Kumbaga, i-turn mo into positive yung negative situation na nagyayari sa’yo.”Cliché as it may sound but, really, everything happens for a reason. Dax Augustus thinks this piece of advice sounded true when he was cast in <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/angprobinsyano" target="_blank">FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano</a>. “Having that outlook, parang mas madaling mabuhay and at the same time, kung ano man ‘yung nangyayari sa’yo o sa paligid mo, may purpose si God do’n,” he reflects.Lorna Tolentino also shares the most empowering words she got from the right people, “Be positive and always pray. Kasi, unang-una, kaya ka positive dahil alam mong nandiyan ang Panginoon. God is in control at hindi ka iiwanan.”Just be happy and become your best self, says Brenda Mage. “’Pag happy ka, it will reflect sa viewers ang pagiging happy mo. ‘Pag happy ka, smooth lahat ng mga bagay-bagay dahil hindi ka tumitingin doon sa mga negatibong bagay. Hangga’t wala kang tinatapakang tao, magpatuloy ka lang. Walang ibang nakakakilala sa’yo kundi sarili mo at Diyos lang.”Haters will continue to hate, but Shanaia Gomez picked up the perfect cheat sheet from Hollywood star Selena Gomez, who said, “Kill ‘em with kindness.” Shanaia explains, “If people are not being the greatest or the kindest to you, just be kind back. You don’t lose anything from being kind.”One of the greatest truths about life we must learn is that humility makes us good persons, malleable when faced with defeat, and inspiring in times of victory. <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/darna" target="_blank">Mars Ravelo’s Darna</a> star Paolo Gumabao says, “Practice humility because humility is what’s going to take you where you want to go. When you have humility kaya mong tanggapin ‘pag may mali ka, kaya mong tanggapin ‘pag may kasalanan ka. And those are the best traits that people can have.”Compassion is good for the soul, and that’s the core of Noel Colet’s best advice received, “Focus on others instead of yourself… More on outward yung awareness mo. Hindi ka masyadong nako-conscious. Hindi ka masyadong self-serving. May silbi ka sa sa ibang tao.”For young dreamers scared to take the first step, keep in mind that you aren’t going to grow and reach your full potential until you learn to take risks. Lyric and Beat star Sheena Belarmino was always told to “bring home the bacon,” which has become her mantra in life. “Nandito na po ako sa industriya, so all we have to do is sa yes all the time. Kasi we don’t know kung kelan magsa-stop ‘yung mga opportunities na dumarating sa buhay natin. So, always say yes, take the risk. Always bring home the bacon. Kahit hindi man ako nakapagbigay ng championship kumbaga, parang, yung narating ko ‘yung entablado dito sa ABS-CBN, I think that’s the bacon na nabigay ko sa pamilya ko.”Words truly have power, which is why you must avoid putting your foot in your mouth, reminds Seth Fedelin, “Lahat ng sasabihin mo at gagawin mo, pag-isipan mo muna. Kung hindi naman kailangan sabihin o gawin, huwag mo na lang sabihin o gawin.” Another piece of advice that left a big impact on him is about contentment, “Pahalagahan mo ‘yung bagay na meron ka ngayon. Huwag kang maghangad ng sobra;” and taking risks, “Kung hindi para sa akin, at least nasubukan ko.”Save these pieces of advice from your favorite Kapamilya artists for when you need something to reinvigorate your soul.
