Who we really are and who we should be.

In the course of our lives, we learn, we experience, we achieve, we fail, we enjoy, we endure, we look back and look forward only to find out who we really are from the very beginning. All the education, the values, the principles we gain are simply guides in finding out who we really are and what we really should be. The final years of our lives should be spent being what we really are and not what we were supposed to be according to norms and benchmarks of society. Lucky are those who were able to define themselves early in life as they have more time to enjoy and share their being with others that mattered most to them and spent time only on what is truly important.

My God, Why me?

When the worst comes our way we usually ask God: "Why me? I have been faithful?" But when we are Blessed with all the good things in life like beauty, brain, good fortune, we never ask the same question. Fortunately for me I once asked that question why I had the gifts bestowed to me a long time ago. Why me? The answer is because these Gifts if given to the greedy, the unkind, the wicked, will not be shared with the peopke whose lives I have touched.

Taking the less travelled path.

Sometimes, if not most of the time, I thought other people around me think the same way I do, forgetting that I did not take the tread-beaten path, usually where the grass can no longer grow from the countless feet that have taken this path. In most cases, those who took this tread-beaten path ended up reaching the same destination at taking this short, uneventful and safe route.

I took a less travelled path where the grass can still go greener and faced up to the challenges of each step, some battles I won, some I lost.

Today, looking back in hindsight, I am happy just knowing I did survive with my humanity intact.

I just hope my children will later understand it all when they reach the crossroads of their lives, hopefully not as difficult as the choices I had to make tomake their own life journeys less complicated.
