Lifelong Journey to Success

(i made this article a couple of months ago for a friend. i decided to post it here in my blog site to inspire other people to keep on striving for success regardless of the failures they had encountered. Enjoy reading!)

Each of us has different paths in life. Some may garner instant luck; some may weep and try hard before attaining a certain achievement. But still, life is life. Whatever happens, one must go on. Put forward your dreams, your future plans. Formulate your goal. Like what others always say, dreaming and hoping for something better is free. Aim high. Do what your heart tells you. Weigh everything you have in your mind. Never stop. Believe, move, and pray.

BELIEVE. Everything happens for a reason. You might encounter a great obstacle in your trail but don’t take it negatively. It’s just a challenge; a challenge that will encourage and motivate you to go on with the flow of life, a challenge that will ease your fears, a challenge that will make you stronger and tougher. Don’t let it knock your fears. Instead, stand up and surmise that something better will come along for you.

MOVE. Failure is inevitable. You must learn how to handle it. Don’t put too much pressure in yourself and never blame neither anyone nor anything when it comes to failure. Remember, you are the only one responsible for what you have and gain. Moreover, when it comes to failures, you must move. How? Reflect about your mistakes and weaknesses. Know the reason why you did and had those stuffs. Condition yourself to gain the assurance you need to go on. Make steps, plans, and ideals. Then, give surety that you can uphold those things.

PRAY. With God, nothing is impossible. Give Him a shelter in your heart. Raise all your queries in Him. Do your best and He can guarantee what you deserve. But, you should not only remember Him when you have struggles. You must also mind Him when you experience overwhelming blessings. You ought to always put God in your heart all the time. Like what the bible says “Do it all for the Glory of God.” He is the one who can listen to you anytime and anywhere. Just learn how to appreciate Him and He will give all the best for you.

Whatever problem you have in your life, you must dole out it with courage and patience. Like what my high school teacher told me, “Hindi ka bibigyan ni God ng pagsubok na hindi mo kaya.” Accept everything that is happening. Have down pat that all the situations arising in your existence reflect your own. Trash all your weaknesses and improve your strengths. Be good. And when that time comes, the time you achieve your greatest dream in life; stay simple, humble, and as what you are. And of course don’t stop trusting God. J
