On Life and Living

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

Nothing is in a state of permanence in life. Constantly, there are innovations that will happen every now and then. Though life maybe seen as a routine, it is a invariable struggle to the different changes that keep on recurring. The significance of the different moments in life is the learning that takes place like the different colors of the rainbow. In life, there is a path leading to success. However, numerous crossroads are to be encountered. Indeed, there are a lot of care-worn events that need to be challenged in order to gain success.

Living is  not only hurdling difficulties, but also sharing excitement to people who in one way or another have lost their sight of life’s grandeur.

Education is one of the many distinct forms of living. It is a journey to self-disclosure and maturity. Hence, it is a timeline of struggles of passing and realizing the importance of the different lessons.

Life takes every person to different paths, be it for ambition, security, or failure. Indeed, even failure. Whatever road one takes in this great and distressing journey, one should never forget where it all began.

One must look back at his beginnings and be able to search for his inspirations in order to go through. Then, as we look ahead, we will see that our doubts are cleared and the path towards the end is brighter.

For that, I will never forget what Fr.Dean  (Fr. Francis Hubilla,OSB) told me the day before our graduation: "Every now and then, try to look back to your Bedan and Benedictine formation. It will be your source of strenght as you face a world full of challenges."
