Actress and businesswoman Maricar Reyes talked about some of the things she lives by and gave tips on how to live one’s life in a stress-free way, in a recent conversation with fellow actress and Christian vlogger Rica Peralejo.
“One, alamin mo ang weaknesses mo and be okay with that. Accept it lalo na with social media,” Reyes said via Peralejo’s YouTube channel last Sunday, Sept. 11. (First, know your weaknesses and be OK with that. Accept it, especially when it comes to social media.)
“There’s pressure to be perfect. There’s pressure to be like this at a certain age,” she added. She cited how there are young people, aged 18, who already have their own companies and thinking that they need to be that way. Reyes likened it to an anomaly, which is why she would rather be contented and grateful.
“I am following this page [in] IG, bigtripsonly. They have so many places [that] I don’t think I could get to all of them. Pero, ganoon talaga, eh. (but it’s really like that),” she explained. “I have to be okay with that. Parang kung saan ka dalhin (It’s like wherever you end up at), there’s a reason for that.”
Another important thing for Reyes is purpose.
“‘[A] purpose beyond yourself,” she said. “[Just] be content if this is what is given to you. It’s like that for a reason.”
Reyes is married to singer Richard Poon. They celebrated their ninth anniversary last June. JB
