Have you ever think in a minute of a day how precious your life is? Or have you pose for a second and think that how precious you are? Sometimes we forget how precious our life is when we are busy doing our task for the day. Never realizing that life is too short for spending it without reasons and fullfilment inside you.
I been there struggling too much in life, pushing myself to be the best in everything that i will do but then i am not satisfied and happy. Since my younger days because of poberty i was trying so hard to be competent to everyone. In school, in the community and in the family. I been burning a candle to become the top of the class but there are better than me so i fail. Until my college days, i work to hard to support my study and at the same time to maintain my academic performance but then i still fail. I'm so upset and disappointed at that time i thought that i will not going to get a good job and end up failure for everything.
Then the time come that i just let God lead my way, where He wants me too. I just answer the call of being a volunteered accountant in a missionary program called the SULADS which help the indigenous people in the mountain, and there i found the meaning of my life. That i can do better than what i want to be. When i saw the people there where i served, it make me realize that my life is so precious. I can tell that they have nothing there but they are happy in every second that i was with them. I can see the sweet smile on there faces that make me feel it is so real. Then i've learned how unfortunate they are, they never even know how to read and write. But then they spend there life as precious i thought it to be. The woman is the one that will going to povide for the food of the family. They will going to hike in the mountain for many hours just to look for food. It is very dificult for them but they are still happy, but the reality is that it they really have nothing there.
One thing that i learn there, spend my life to the fullest. Make the best of everything. I know no one is perfect, i will make mistakes but still i know God is with me when i will just trust Him. Just like the people in the mountain, they have nothing but they are happy. So i don't want to waste my time for being just in a selfish way. I make it precious by helping others, enjoy what i have and be contented for everything.
