There are so many things and questions that pop up in our mind when we are alone and contemplating about life. Maybe something that we desire or aspirations, some dreams that ended up being just a dream because of inaction. Maybe some situations in our life that are unfathomable or questions that we can't find the answer at all.
I think being alone once in a while, searching what is inside our heart, meditating on what is going on in our life, praying and reading the bible are needed to a have a healthy balance life. I understand that it is easy to be caught by our busy life but we need to slow down and stop for a while. We need to do it to be able to figure out who we are and what we want to become.
I once was in a crossroad and did not know what to do in my life. It seems that everything was not accord to what I was trying to accomplish. I was so devastated and lost. I decided to stop and figure out what was going on. On silence, there was an inner voice that whispering within me. That whisper become so loud that brought me to tears and freedom. All my aspirations flash back to my mind. Those things that are so meaningful to me. Those desires that drive and motivate me.
On my silence, I retrieve back my following aspirations but come up with new questions that only God can answer.
How to help my fellow
Filipinos to uplift their spirit and increase their productivity that will
bring income in the table?
I kept going back and forth with
this idea. I don’t know but there is always a part of me that wants to
contribute and help my fellas to be responsible. Hoping to give them the rod to
catch the fish that can
sustain their daily needs.
How can I help my relatives to
learn to manage their money?
My aunties and uncles are trapped
in the cycle of borrowing money from the “bumbay” (an Indian lender that lends
money with high interest) to cope up with their needs and their lavish life.
They don’t live within their means. They
are not responsible in handling their money so with the future of their
children. They tolerate their children
to be lazy and do not value education that well.
How can I boost the pride of the
Filipino with their craftsmanship?
I believe that Filipinos are
hard-workers and they have so much talents to offer. Most of them have just not given the opportunity to show
it in the world and take advantage of their gifts. I also believed that Philippines is rich in cultures and
natural resources that can help them to bring
livelihood to the community.
How can I help my fellow Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) to
reunite with their family and with that to decrease the case of divorce and
separation among family members?
Adultery is prone for the
Overseas Filipino Workers because of homesickness and being afar from their
family. I knew it because I witnessed some when I was working in United Arab
Emirates. When I first
learned about that system, I got shocked with our culture in another country.
It’s a devastating fact that needed to stop to keep the family intact. Family
is the smallest part of the community and yet it has a big role in molding the
character of the children, the new generations and the generations to come.
How can I maximize my opportunity
to be here in United States in carrying out those desires?
I don’t know how actually. All I
want is to put up an e-commerce business that will be used as a tool in delivering the unique products from
the Philippines or other neighboring countries that will generate income not only to me but to the local
community of the 3rd world country.
How can I contribute in shaping
the character of the children to have a purposeful life especially here in
US?
I want to start a business that
will also benefit the people here in United States. Something that will uplift their spirit, encourage
resourcefulness and creativity, and will be used to give meaning and purpose in their life.
How can I share the gospel and
share Jesus in their life?
I desire that the answers to those hows will lead people to accept Jesus
Christ in their life.
