Looking To My Future

Being mindful of my own roots as a Filipino, with episodes of successes and failures, with mirror images of my own culture, show a sliver of commonality with others as raised in accordance with Catholic religion. Beauty in the heart remains a focal point a criterion that captures a specific connection; to the highest level – God with people of all nations, an ongoing conversation between faith and culture. But with the emerging trend in our civilization, heroes for youth, sports figures or popular icons are role models for them with a great deal of competition, yet, opportunities to strive better and be achievers of honor. Understanding the mystery of life through faith and trust in God, whose source of love and compassion never ends; A lodestar in my way, source of hope and spiritual joy. King Solomon’s teaching enables me to recall that some of our greatest actions come only - because we fall and this makes us grow, connect with Him and face what life brings. As we used to say in Philosophy: «nemo dat quod non haber» indeed, a challenge that, for me, should be lived along with enthusiasm and commitment to life. The world in its movement greets every traveler, with different salutations meant to inspire him that in spite of a decadent age or conflicting moral answers, God’s presence never fails to make us aligned to His own will. It’s with an attitude of optimism that I hangs on to Him because He is the way, the truth, the life, and everything, His authorship and genuineness to any need in life’s quest; He’s my great spiritual achievement, a future for my calling.
