As to myself, I could not have gotten this
far without the presence of my aspirations. It kept my ardor to things evident
in all my endeavors. Also, it moved my zeal of encouragement to the next level
and thus inspired me not to stop. One of the strongest aspirations I have is
that I aspire for success; in almost all of the things I am engaged to, I aim
for success! I cannot find a single assumption which would support the claim
that a certain individual is into the “pwede na” attitude. This is not about
bragging but rather this is somewhat a form of sharing my technique of letting things
flow the way they should. In the same way, aspiring for success is far from
aspiring for perfection. Success is not synonymous to perfection! Thus, if one
aspires for success, one also undergoes from a series of mistakes and
downfalls. In other words, one should first pass the rough and tough road
before actually arriving to a smooth high way of journey.
My second aspiration is that I aspire for
independence. I guess this has a lot to do with the fact of being an only
child. Raised as one, I developed within me the sense of being independent
which also shaped a strong foundation of a coping mechanism within me. And
until now, I am aspiring for that sense to be enhanced in me. Yes, problem
rocks our world! It shakes our nest but not to the point of giving up or of
depending to others for the solution of the problem to arrive. I intend to take
a move and handle the situation despite the struggles that it will occur. I
aspire for independence but not in isolation with God. I know that He is ready
to rescue everyone who falls, and as a result, whatever the outcomes may be, I
credit them all to His will.
Further, I aspire for satisfaction. Life
will never be meaningful without being satisfied. It would lose its real
essence if one will not learn to feel contentment. To this account, I desire to
obtain satisfaction in life. I am very much aware that due to my humanly
nature, there are really times when I am always searching for that something to
which I feel is lacking. I do not deny this weakness of mine since all
individuals get to pass by this stage. However, I desire to slowly extinguish
this kind of character and eventually become contented with everything that
life offers. I aspire for satisfaction to be manifested in my personality
because I know it is where true happiness is found.
To sum it all up, my aspirations in life
contributed a lot in the molding of my personality. It may not be in a real
holistic manner but still it covers a spacious lot. The dreams and aspirations I
have with respect to my ambitions in life are my roadmaps toward this journey.
But of course, God is the initiator of this journey and I am but a single dot
in combat with the other particles much bigger than me. Nevertheless, I aspire
to persist!
