The world often seems divided between those who give a damn and those who don’t give a damn at all. But I tend to open my eyes to a lot of things and I tried to make a world of difference. Because people often get burned out when the fire of sudden wealth and success fueled them.
I am just one of the ordinary people. Nothing special. Nothing spectacular. And yes! My way is quite leading me nowhere and there’s no doubt that I’m emotionally detached from people. But faith and hope can actually make us see what is invisible in the eye. I never thought the day would come that I will feel this proud of my father. Things are so sudden. I mean, it seems like it was just yesterday when I felt this constant fear that his earnings may not be sufficient for our daily needs. And it seems like the world exploded at me. We even got to a certain level wherein we had not paid our electric bill and sometimes missed a single meal. Our finances were greatly affected and we undeniably had this never-ending list of financial woes. T’was a big trial for us and it was so painful to accept that I was powerless to reverse what was happening to our family. I even became the person I pledge I would never be. I’ve mourned so much and so I’ve felt ready to hold on to anything for a gleam hope. However, I still believed that His grace is a wellspring of eternal blessings. Yet, a nagging thought came into my mind and eventually I realized that each of our financial problems was met on time. And there was really never a point where we were totally broke bec. when we got to our last peso, something always comes up.
Going through with all of it was indeed very awful. It’s true, that in times of our financial crisis He walks in when the rest of the world walks out. In this world… during my struggle, there was no excuses, no forgiveness. When you don’t have anything you are definitely nothing. You know, everything life throws back at me was actually an awakening experience. I would say, I felt cheated by those who have left me in the middle of nowhere. And I made a tremendous discovery that caring and not caring can actually spell the difference between real and fake people when I was worthless and in my strenuous situation. But eventually things are straightened out now everything’s good with us. Before, I thought it was really close to impossible for life to hit us with extensive chances like these. But unexpectedly with just a snap of finger He absolutely redirected my point of view, the best survival tip there is that life had brought me…..small acts of sacrifices seem to matter. It takes a lot of perseverance before everything is taken care of.
The thing is, there really is nothing permanent in this world. Sometimes you’re up there; sometimes you’re down in the dumps. So gonna have to understand the significance of doing something worthwhile. Live a simpler life but more profound and meaningful life. Oh yes! Success and wealth will always be success and wealth. But all the success and wealth in the world is not worth satisfying yourself, making people recognize you or please you for what you have. But it’s having that someone to share it with. Bec. there was no point of wanting these things more than real happiness.
