Eto ang last post ko for 2019, at magiging last post of the decade para sa blog na 'to.
The year that was. Truly, i cannot enumerate one by one the highs and lows; though as i reflect, down the memory lane, the truth remains steady for these two observations that have been consistent in this yet to be finished journey, called life.
1. Our lives are infinitely interconnected to one another. Even the non-human race, more so, of all the living things that surround us, no matter where we are - are all inter-related, direct or implied, will always have the cause and effect across the populace - in this earth, in this universe.
Imagine a simple gesture of "Thank You" given by a total stranger while you are walking toward the parking lot of a mall because you gave a signal that he can take your parking space as you are about to leave.
And that moment of handshake, a no big deal for you, it took less than 30-seconds between you and the stranger to part ways.
But without that 30 seconds, you could've been part of a road accident nearby. If you left without handshaking with the stranger, you may not be breathing any longer. Who knows? Probably rushed in to the emergency room because of a car wreck.
Small things like stopping at a garden to witness the beauty, and smell the aromatic fragrance of roses and flowers around, gave you a sudden glimpse of new perspective. Inspiring you to let go of the heartaches and deal with it head-on.
Which then allowing your loved ones to nourish because your mood and outlook in life has shifted in the positive aura, giving them an awe of wonder on how you've changed, on how you've strove to fight; a good fight without harm, without resentment but pure aim of overcoming the obstacles removing hatred and pain. Influencing them to grow, to deal with life like how it needs to be, to laugh, to cry, to accept defeat if that is to be, to grin and smile without fakeness because of the triumphs you reaped along the way.
All these, on a macro and micro level of incidents, could be accidents, or happenings in your life, one way or the other, it has affected those lives surround you. Eventually, a ripple of effect goes on and on. Intertwining, sometimes, entangling to one another. And the journey or flow goes on.
2. What You Believe In (what dictates your principles) - the foundation of your moral compass will direct you to who and to where you will be in the future and to what your end-result is in the human race.
I call it - faith, no matter what your faith is - as long as you are not faithless, i'm sure you will have the courage to face 2020 head-on. This is where your true powers would come from, will you be facing the battles driven by faith, principles and morals?
Or, will you go with the flow (most of the time) and let destiny lead you... (hopefully without regrets)?
Note that a decade has passed, your principles and conviction in dealing with uncertainties and victories have been molded (it would've been a strong foundation by now) - allowing you to practice more of it, allowing you now to easily execute these morales you have built in dealing life.
(ie) how do you consistently strive for integrity at work?, or the way you are faithful to your significant other (SO) - can you now easily do it without blemish, day in and day out?
I understand, we are just humans - prone to our weaknesses and errors at times. But what burns these for us to nurture the opposite and encourages us to stay true to our foundation?
It is faith.
Yes, do not lose the spark, the flame, and always rekindle it so that even when hope is almost at the edge nudging us to fall on the cliff, remember that the power of faith can move mountains, it can also lead us to fly. And soar high.
Happy New Year Everyone!
