That was life all about for me and my family—taking action.
No matter how frightening and uncertain things might be, we need to take action for nobody knows what’s going to happen unless it happens.
I only have one life, nothing else. I have to take the risks that the daily life had set for me though I also fear that this won’t bring me elsewhere.
Mistake has always been a part of my journey. But it has also shown me what was right and what was necessary. So I only have to do the things for which I can only be grateful.
I have to pursue the things I’m dying to attain and to get hold of the things I can’t live without.
I remember what my Nanay, through our experiences as a family, thought me. She once said that, if I cannot afford to lose something, I should hold on to it no matter how much pain it caused me.
She was right. I need to pursue some things without even asking why; having only the reason that I just have to. I just have to do it and explanation does not seem to be relevant. I have to move on from there.
My family shapes me as a person. My dreams, my goals and my wants all come down to one thing: to make them happy and satisfied that after all the pains and hurts we’ve been through, great things are still on its way to make us smile.
Everything happens for a reason, I truly believe. The trials, the opportunities, the pains, the joys—all these are God’s way of shaping us to the best form we can be.
