Moving Forward and Awakening the Power Within

If you have a talent and ability in something, you must learn to share it so that others can emulate and be inspired by your ways. Inherent talent can launch you into the distant future if you realize your potential and the awakened power of your soul. 

In our society, how many have natural talents and skills to offer and contribute to the betterment of the people? Who can speak up and start the actual change? We may have many potential talents, including you. 

In a material world with greed and lust for money, people lose trust in some of our leaders entrusted to deliver basic needs and services. Someone must arise to offer help to the people, and you can do your share by tapping into your own powers. Just like Mother Teresa of Kolkata once said,  Mother Teresa of Kolkata said that we should not just wait for leaders, but we can do it individually. 

It's evident that our societies are ailing, desperately in need of healing from corruption, conflicts, and wars. The world is reeling from the effects of natural and man-made calamities, with global warming causing catastrophic droughts and devastating typhoons and hurricanes becoming more frequent. The time to act is now. 

There is still a chance to renew and build up to something good. If the foundation seems weak, it is time to correct it and build a stronger one. We have been stuck for a long time due to our psychological traumas and insecurities; we dealt with fears and phobias that could be real enough for us not to move forward.

We are all suffering from the ill effects of our actions, and there is a destruction phase during which we can realize our faults and begin a wiser life with a sense of satisfaction and gratitude.

Life purpose: why on earth are you here for

Our true life purpose is not merely to satisfy our own desires but to serve with a compassionate heart and noble intentions. Regardless of your profession or passion, serving others aligns with your dharma or life purpose. Touching the hearts of those you serve can elevate your impact to a higher level, bringing you a profound sense of satisfaction and gratitude.

When you reach out to those in need, you'll discover the goodness of your soul and the power of your spirit to effect significant change in society. Your actions will uplift others, creating a ripple effect of goodwill that empowers them to stand on their own and initiate transformation in their lives. This is the power of individual action.

I have A Dream

When I want something, I ask for it. This is a fundamental law of life; we attract things to which we give too much attention. When we think of something and go into a much deeper state of consciousness, we become closer to making it a reality. It is magical for some, but the experience is remarkable and authentic.

One of the most fascinating aspects of my life, from the past to the present, is the transformation of my daydreams into reality. It all begins with a single wish, a desire for something. We shape our reality with our thoughts, and we get to experience the magic of turning a creative imagination into a tangible reality.

In my past journey, I met people who challenged my life perspective. I could go deeper in life, but I received criticism for not having experienced what life truly is and for needing to be wiser like an experienced adult.

Despite my youth, I believe that understanding life comes from reflecting on our ideals and philosophies. We learn not from what we already know, but from the mistakes we make. It's through our imperfections that we challenge ourselves to become a better version of who we are. We strive to make things right, despite the wrong decisions we may have made.

I may be young, but I can influence people in ways based on what I believe is right and good for them. In the not-so-distant past, I have met wonderful people who were in trouble, and a simple understanding and philosophy of why such misery could happen in life guided them. I had not learned to counsel in school back then, but I knew it in real life as I encountered several circumstances I could turn into wisdom.

Yes, I have a dream; it was a simple dream of inspiring people to live fulfilling lives, and now it is coming closer to reality. Through motivational speaking, certain emotions can touch people. It is not just intellect but also a heart that feels that connects people together.

While I've been advised to be cautious about my wishes, I've also learned to recognize my limitations. I know when to stop and when to persevere. I trust my instincts, which I believe is a common trait among us all, and I follow what I know to be right and wrong.

We listen to different voices in our lives that could inspire or harm us. Nevertheless, we have inner voices that always direct us toward the right path. We cannot be sure of what lies ahead in life, but one thing is sure: we believe in ourselves no matter what voices we hear.

Looking back on my previous life, I am still young, and I still have wishes, and these will soon come true because I have proven them now. I was there before, and it was a fantasy; now, I am here and living my own reality.

The Road Ahead: The Rising Challenges Along The Way

It's a time to heal and embark on a more meaningful chapter of life. This life grants us second chances and the freedom to let go, a life brimming with unlimited potential and many opportunities for personal and professional growth. There will be challenges along the way, but it's crucial to maintain our rhythm and live life in harmony, filled with a sense of fulfillment.

That was a long break, and now back to writing again. It's been several months of untold memorable stories and events that would have been special and worth remembering through writing. Sometimes in our lives, we slow down and need much inspiration and will to do something we love. Inspiration comes time, and the will to do things is the most important. 

Action is necessary to get things done, and no matter how hard we try in the planning phase, we still get stuck- and remain stationary. We do things with much gratitude for starting into something, but in the process, we also encounter the signal to slow down until we are out of sight. It's not that we lose, but we're starting to get back on track and regain things missed. 

Writing in the year's second quarter would be nice to reflect on the latest journey that keeps me alive. One of the most favorable times of the year is summer; although hot and humid, we still endure and continue to have fun and experience this wonderful season of the year—the preservation phase. 

There may have been down moments this season, but they have enough will to rise again. Life has become more challenging as we move along in another milestone of a not-so-distant future. After all, we have proven to ourselves how resilient we are and keep moving on when the road seems rough. This resilience, this ability to bounce back, is a testament to our strength and keeps us more vital than ever, no matter how hard it may seem. It's a reminder of our inner strength and the power we hold within us. 

Some of the most beautiful moments this summer were when I got the chance to travel with family and friends. These precious times, filled with laughter and shared experiences, are incomparable. They are moments to cherish and worth reminiscing about, bringing a warm nostalgia to our hearts. The joy of these shared experiences is a testament to the value of our relationships and the warmth they bring to our lives. 

Traveling and exploring places would nourish my mind and body as I meditate in different areas, from the calm and turquoise water of Guimaras Island to the green and relaxing ambiance at the foothill of Mt. Arayat. These places, each with unique beauty, were a pleasant surprise and an inspiration for further exploration. The beauty of nature is a constant source of inspiration and rejuvenation, reminding us of the wonders of the world around us.

Not so far from Manila, there could have been a better escape from the hustle and bustle of city living for Lenten's reflection. From the glorious Christ, the Redeemer in Monasterio de Tarlac, going to the mountainous and highly spiritual place in  Lucban, Quezon. These places do not offer such overrated experiences, but the memories are worthwhile and will remain in our hearts. 

It's time to heal and start another chapter of a more meaningful life that gives us second chances and lets us let go, a life that offers unlimited potential and opportunities for growth. There will be challenges along the way; however, in the end, keeping our flow and living life in harmony and with a sense of fulfillment is indispensable.
