Lost and Found

25 long years of being lost.

Today is my birthday. I used to think that I don’t know what I want to do with my life. I used to tell myself that I don’t know who I want to become in the next few years to come. I remember vividly, how my English professor asked me and left me in awe,- yes until now - about this question which you might have heard a lot of times. She asked - in a mock interview – in preparation for our first job application, “How do you see yourself 10 years from now?”, of course I answered confidently, ( I was 18 years old back then) “I see my self as one of the executives of one the biggest companies in the Philippines. I’d probably have my own family, married to a loving husband blah blah.” Gosh, I can’t believe I said that haha.

We picture life as something ideal and perfect.” Life” could never ever be one perfect world with people like us who are imperfect. We will keep on missing the shot and made a slip. It is just a matter of what we do with that slip and how we move forward

I am not one of the executives of one of the biggest companies in the

Philippines

but one day, our company will be, and one day, I will be one of the biggest names in the country. Too big for a dream eh? No, I believe that dreaming big does not define our confidence or courage. Dreaming big defines a pure heart who wants his life a lot better than the life before. A heart that is full of substance. A heart full of hope…..

I will never say I am lost again. I maybe once, lost., but not anymore. In my heart I know what I want to do, that is, to fulfill God’s mission through me. I want to make every person’s life I meet to be different. I want to bring a difference in everything that I do. I want to leave a notch in every person’s heart. I want to be remembered as someone who brought God once in their lives.

My existence, in these 25 years is not enough to fulfill my dreams, at the time of my death, these dreams might not reach a hundred and one percent fulfilled, but at least, I am confident that I have started to become a victor.


As Andrew Carnegie puts it - The position a person occupies in the world depends on the quantity and quality of the service he render plus the mental attitude which he relates to others.

When everyone would falter, I will conquer.
