Today is my birthday.
To celebrate, I planned to travel alone. I envisioned myself discovering places
up north; Zambales and Aurora were among the options. I wanted to spend more
time to discover myself and to hear more from the Lord. I was thrilled to step
on the beach and witness the sun rise and set, because I MISS THAT SO MUCH.
Sadly, Typhoon Ineng became a threat.
So, instead of
travelling far, my plan B was to wait for dusk in Manila Bay after watching a
movie (alone). However, the sun doesn’t really want to see me or doesn’t want
me to see him. Thus, I ended up eating dinner with my friends after watching
Fantastic 4 (which I enjoyed too).
I was a bit
disappointed but I realized may be this was how God wanted me to spend my
birthday. From what had happened today, I understood that I am already
depriving myself of the things I should’ve enjoyed. I believed I’ve known
myself better. I don’t know myself that much because I was not aware of these
things I needed. From this day forward:
I need to be more
joyful. The past
months I felt like lacking some joy. To those who were affected by this,
aside from saying ‘I’m sorry’, I’d like to say, ‘Could you please help me be
more joyful?’ Life is diverse, Cervin! Do not complicate things. You have the
capacity to make a difference but you cannot always make things different. Leave
it to God Who has greater plans.
I need to be more
thankful. A friend
sent a text message to greet and told me she read one of my articles entitled
“White’s Darkness”. I forgot what it is about so I read it again. I am now in
almost the same situation when I wrote it. But I still choose to thank God.
I need to love more. As love multiplies, it shall also
increase. I’ve been sacrificing some love for a new one. I did not realize real
love grows.
I need to learn more. There’s a lot to discover in this
world. Instead of envying others, I need to create an inspiration. I should
start learning on things I know will make an impact. I shall live my purpose.
I need to dream more. Not fear more. Do not let your
situation dictate you. If you know your purpose, do something aside from
knowing. Move! Dreaming is boring when you’re dreaming the same thing. Make new
dreams out of a dream.
I need to believe more.
Make a bold
resolve! Remember, ‘believing triggers the power to do’.
