Novel & Cerita The Purpose Driven Life

Ang bawat tagumpay sa negosyo ay tila hindi kumpleto dahil sa kawalan niya sa aking buhay. Ngunit ang mga araw na iyon ay nagbigay din sa akin ng pagkakataon na magmuni-muni at mag-isip tungkol sa hinaharap. Nagtatrabaho ako ng mabuti upang masiguro ang kinabukasan ng kumpanya, ngunit alam kong kailangan kong maglaan ng oras upang isipin ang aking personal na buhay.

Perhaps, in my own point of view, when people think of giving up, that is because they lack of purpose. Setting a purpose or goal in life will be our drive to finish this longest ride. Think of it as a fun run. Life is a journey of fun and obstacles. In the process, you have people, you have the beauty of the world, yet when no one stayed, you are left with no choice but to take the run by yourself. You need to be stronger. You need to fuel your drive. Visualize the finish line, and it will be appearing before you could even notice it.

The least I can do was give Him back the favor. I often thought that my real purpose in this life was to be a priest. Iyon ang buong akala kong gusto ng Diyos para sa'kin kaya Niya ako binigyan ng pangalawang pagkakataon para mabuhay. But like what the scripture says, God's thoughts are higher than ours and His ways are way higher than our ways. God is perfect and He is the only One who can lay the perfect and absolute plan in our lives even if we were first sinners. I have sinned against Him before my ordination but he still gave me the very best. And my very best is the reason why I have realized what my real purpose in this life is.

Kaysa mag-isip nang kung anu-ano ay sinimulan ko na lamang ang magbasa. ‘The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but a life without a purpose.’ Ang gandang bungad. Kaya lang— hindi ko alam ang ibig sabihin n‘yon. Bukod kasi sa life, death, at purpose ay wala na 'kong ibang naintindihan. Ang hirap talaga kapag walang pinag-aralan. Grabe 'yung level nang awa ko sa 'king sarili!

Now I'd decided to fight all those risk because I'm not really sure what's waiting on me in the end. Oo, maaaring meron akong mga naiisip na maaaring maging patutunguhan pero hindi ko naman sigurado kung ano talaga ang mangyayari. Hindi ko madidiktahan ang lahat. That's why we need to conquer every risk, hard or not. We need to fight for every challenges we will be in. Because that's the purpose of our life, right? To fight so we could find the better version of ourselves, so we could have a better life we wanted, and so until the end we will accomplish all the task given to us.

Hindi masayang pumatay kahit na kapalit ay hustisya. Dumating sa puntong hindi ko na kilala ang sarili ko. Hindi ko na alam kung saan patungo itong ginagawa ko. Nawalan ako ng direksyon sa buhay. Successful ang mga negosyo namin ni dad, pero talo ang pagkatao ko. My life didn't have a purpose anymore. Not until... I met her.

irap ko na ikinatawa niya. "De seryoso, parte na ng buhay natin ‘yang si problema. Di na mawawala ‘yan. Kasing constant ‘yan ng paghinga natin. Iniisip ko na lang na lahat ng problema may purpose. It’s either it will make us stronger or it will serve some life lessons. Okay lang masaktan basta hindi mo susukuan ang laban…" Napamaang ako sa kanya para kasing, kausap ko lang sarili ko. Boy version ko ba siya?

Naghahanap ng gustong magbahagi. Kung nasa ordinaryong araw at hindi ganitong akma na akma sa akin ang tanong ay agad-agad akong sasagot. Pero hindi, isinaisip at isinapuso ko ang tanong. The purpose of life is to live as the fullest expression of yourself... My interpretation will be it is to live and to do everything that you dream about. It is making sure that you chased your dreams and accomplished them.
