A journey to Surpass by Mis uni

Plants,animals ang human beings, these are the creation of god that mostly struggling in order for them to survive in daily quest of life. In a one snap of almighty’s hand life can be change and even you want to repel the fate of life, it’ just not working anymore. I defined life as the opportunity given to us by god to see the outer and innermost beauty of one of the creation of him, the Earth. And all of happening in us is properly planned by him.

Reminiscing my childhood days, when I’m not mature enough to know what is right to wrong. Questions are confusing my mind about life and easy challenges that I had encountered. And I can’t find the answers yet. In my childhood, playing dolls and houses is what I used to do. There’s no dull moments and tearful supplication. All I remember is the enjoyable things I do when I was a kid. But as I grow old, awakening the truth of life makes me wonder. What is our purpose in life? Why do people have difficult time planning-out their lives? Why there are some undergoing miserable life experiencing the grayest shade of life. Those are questions boggling my mind. As I look-out in our environment, I realized people in this world undergoing different aspects of life.

Some of them feel life as punishment and everything they do can never be good. It’s like they’re walking in a path where criticisms, insecurity, dumbness and loneliness lies, incapable them to succeed in daily task of life. They lost their direction and go as far as using drugs and committing suicide. But there are people who positively take life as a challenge. Sacrificing everything for their aim toward success. They believe that everything has a cause. People in all their busy lives are forgetting to enjoy their accomplishment in life. The reality is that in order to achieve balance in life, we must work at it.

Life and earth are related to each other. Our environment serve as mirror for us people need to observe what is happening around us. We don’t need to be affected by them but to change for the good to save our mother Earth and obtain our morality as a human, being a human and also a Pilipino, what l’m looking forward to my journey in life is to seek for my future and to change for a better me. To be happy, contented on what God’s plan for me. And to be the best that I can be so that my parents will be proud at me.

What Is The Reason Of Being Alive? by Black Butterfly

What is the reason of being alive? This is one of the few questions of a human. Why do we need to fight for the life? And do we need to be alive? Even being alive is so fun, enjoy and full of excitement, still many people commit suicide 'cause they surrendered on the battle of life. Eventhough, many people believe that everyone will die, still they fight for their life. So, I ask, what is the reason of being alive?

When my grandfather was in the hospital, I ask myself, "did he survived? Will the doctor can cure him? Will my grandfather play with me again?" But the doctor couldn't do anything to heal my grandfather. I know that my grandfather is in heaven now and still, here we are, fighting for our life even we will like to see him again.

God said, "if you follow My words, you will receive ever lasting life." This word give a chance or give a reason of their faith but why are there still many people died? Are we sure that if we leave that following God's words, we will receive an everlasting life? What could be the chances? And why do we still fighting for our life if we know that we will be in heaven and receive an ever lasting life?

Many people leave with different reasons and different ways. They are facing the trials, truth and reality but they don't know what could be their main goal in their lives. Many trials have come and have passed but still trials of life will never end. Many truth will be revealed but still there are so many secrets still unknown. Many are facing the reality but still many people want to escape from it. Again I ask, what is the reason of being alive?

When I look at the window, I saw a tree, standing strong, fighting the rain, the heat and even a strong storm. And I ask why is it still standing even it suffers from many trials that tried to knock it down? Are humans like trees? Fighting and standing for their lives? If a human is like a tree, human can be strong as a tree and still standing even there's so many trials come and trials to destroy him.

Even the reason of being alive is still unknown, maybe it could be good to not find the real meaning or answer of it. Maybe it's better to search for the true meaning of it by facing the life and not to escape it. Maybe the queston of what is the reason of being alive is better to be a question of being a human alive.

Life’s Challenges by Silent Assassin

Life is a series of surprises, there are lots of emotions that we encounter in our daily lives, happiness, excitement and sometimes life's challenges can shake us at our very core. All of us experience major and minor life challenges. How we handle these struggles on a daily basis determines our physical, as well as our mental well-being. It takes only a single event to convince us we have no control over our circumstances. Sometimes these challenges consume us with guilt, panic attacks, or chronic fatigue. Our problems pressure us from every side, threatening to crush or break us.

Most of the time, failures in life that we encounter changes our perspective towards life, as we go along and face all those challenges, our beliefs changes and faith is being tested. Surprisingly, all life challenges have a direct relationship in defining our purpose in life. If only we could find assurance that there was a plan or reason for the difficulties we face. We search for meaning in tragedy, questioning our reason for hope or a future. “Why me God? How can I ever forgive? I hate my life! How do I stop the pain?” Life challenges enable us to see ourselves at our best and our worst. We may attempt to temporarily escape our circumstances, falling into alcohol addiction or drug addiction. Others find themselves overwhelmed, careening out of control even contemplating how to commit suicide.

Sometimes, we face our greatest life challenges when we struggle to find love, security, and assurance that life truly has meaning. Our fears, unhealthy behaviors, and excessive emotional struggles result from our inability to interpret and correctly cope with our circumstances and feelings. Whether wrestling with chronic pain, forgiving infidelity, or trying to conceive, it is possible to move beyond that place of hopelessness. When we develop a personal relationship with the One who created us, we discover how God wants us to respond in any given situation. We all know that emotions are a vital part of the way we are made. Yet we can’t understand why it takes so long to heal from emotional injuries. We would never prematurely remove a cast or sutures until the broken bone or skin was fully restored. We must realize complete emotional healing requires time. The book of Psalms offers great comfort when experiencing long-term emotions like sadness, fear, and grief. “He heals the brokenhearted, binding up their wounds” (Psalm 147:3) .Let make Bible as our great companion.

There were times that we need to make hard decisions that sometimes measures our faith and how strong and weak we really are. Sometimes these decisions broke our rules and beliefs in life and for all those choices we only need to pick one which we think is right and the best. But sometimes that best choice we picked is not easy to deal with. And it’s hurt, but we must to, for us to live with peace of mind and away from up coming worries. Dealing with pain is quite difficult but it can be done we just need to get up and learn from those experiences and move on with our lives. Let us give ourselves a chance to be wise enough in facing those trials and an opportunity to start a new beginning with faith. As the sun sets there is always be a new day to shine that gives us a new hope.

The Next Great Adventure by Mia Whackerback

"To a well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.", said Albus Dumbledore. Many people are afraid of dying. Just the mere thought of it terrifies them. But should we be afraid?
Many people die everyday. It can be because of accidents, natural catastrophes, illnesses, murders, and some others take their own life and commit suicide. In most accidents and natural disasters, instantaneous death is given, but for some people who have survived but lost their loved ones in the event, dying, too is the most humane thing that can ease them of their pain. Meanwhile, for a man with a terminal illness, the disease is not the only painful thing that he carries with him, but also the thought of his loved ones watching him slowly fading away right before their very eyes. These are just some of the things that makes dying so dreadful for people. But who's really afraid? The one dying or the ones he is leaving behind? The ones who are going to be left behind are the people who are really afraid. They are terrified that the pain caused by someone's passing away will never leave them. That very pain will cause them to be lonely, vulnerable, and incomplete. Because of these feelings, they will suffer. They will carry the burden of longingness, they will terribly miss the person they thought will never leave them, or at least the ones they expect will take care of them. They will hold on to their now peaceful loved ones. Not knowing when to let go, not knowing how to let go. And the one's dying are scared that the people they will leave behind will feel all these and they are afraid of what future might come to those whom they left wandering. But with every dark phase comes along a bright side.
Some people on their deathbeds often see other late loved ones calling them to come to the other side, and this brings peace and happiness to the people they leave. Knowing that they are now at their serenity and finally free. Others when dying from a disease however, feel relieved that their pain and suffering shall finally be at an end, and their loved ones will also stop from hurting and they will be put out of their misery. Contrary to this, if one has lived a full life, a meaningful life, a good life, he is not afraid to die.
Truly, dying is an adventure each and everyone of us will soon have to embark on. Nobody can pass it up. Although a scary thought, not knowing what lies ahead, look on the lighter side of things and just keep in mind what Forrest Gump once said, "Life is like a box of chocolate, you'll never know what you're gonna get next". Maybe what's on the other side might also be a surprise.
