AS SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE UNIVERSE

Here’s the truth. Life runs in circles. Here’s another truth. We can run twice the risk of misleading leaps and bounds. Here’s a convenient truth. We can take the wheel. And, this is where the course of purpose-driven life begins.

It’s universally-accepted that each of us was born our way. That is, there’s no way for us to be fugitives of our own shadows. Somebody may have his right to say something good about or something bad against us, but we ourselves are the privileged to believe what’s that fire inside our heart. We may consider how destiny becomes so unfair, but more often than not, we end up thinking that there’s no inequality at all for everyone has his place here in this universe. If only we have to push ourselves to see that spot intended for us, perhaps there’s no reason to be bitter about life, about our existence.

Every day, we keep fraction of our time trying to retrieve what we've lost, and so we deprive ourselves to collect jewels of fulfillment. Every lost piece we’re trying to mend marks another wasted instances on the bright side we have in life. I’m not saying that we have to see things indifferently or we don’t need to be smart in facing our problems. I guess the least action we can do, humans as we are, is not to deprive ourselves from possibilities that may bring us true happiness we desire for long. We have to reconstruct our mindset if we want to see ourselves keep going. Someday, somehow, it’s not going to be that far. It may just be right behind what our eyes can see and what our hearts can feel.

Every day of our lives, we’re keeping ourselves being in this race for survival. At the end of each day, we end up watching ourselves with our knees on the ground because of this monotony of uncertainties we have in mind. By seeing ourselves outside our comfort zones, we may be able to see life in the different light following a trail that is less traveled by. As seen from the distance, the horizon promises millions of possibilities which cheerfully wait for us. And, how beautiful is that feeling when we’re able to successfully pass by a road less traveled by, a pathway which becomes passable because of our courage to follow such trail. As we head ourselves towards that horizon of possibilities, we may discover that a vast paradise of moments we have to cherish all our lives and the numerous chunks of happiness we must live by are waving their good hands and are breathing in a life that is totally different from our own.

As we keep going, we’ll eventually discover new paradigms to explore, new pathways of hope to follow, away from the social resistance we care much about beforehand. Things just come what they are reflecting light of just who we really are. Upon reaching that moment when we will have self-actualized who we are and what we ought to become, metaphorically, we become sons and daughters of our very own universe privileged to take our own wheel in our gesture to keep exploring and to keep going the extra mile. And, that’s the most convenient truth.
