Philosophy in life

             Life is God's gift-be grateful for it. This line basically sums up my philosophy in life. Though faced with a lot of adversities, I am very well consoled with the fact that God will always and forever be there for me. I haven't been living enough to have fully understood what God's plan is for me. All I know is that God is still busy trying to weave my personal destiny which I am soon to discover. However, life's circumstances sometimes deter me from searching myself...the person I am supposed to be. I can't help it if at times I feel empty, dull and lifeless. It is as if I am the only one shouldering all the problems in the world. I have my share of emotional breakdowns when I simply couldn't find myself and I get all confused and mixed-up. Those are the times when I forgot about keeping my faith steadfast amidst time's strife. I get carried away by the fast-paced way of living that I overlook God's simple and subtle ways of telling me that life still has something more for me other than pains and trials. But whenever I open my heart to accept all the happenings in my life, I come to see life in a new light. A light that shines upon all the gratifying things and experiences I have once savored. This full realization hits me and I suddenly feel my downcast spirits lifting up. I can sense the feeling of emptiness slowly ebbing away. But until now, I can't deny the fact that I am still undergoing difficulties, I continue stumbling and I know this cycle will live on. Still, thinking about life's heartwarming pleasures makes me forget all about my struggles. And again, the same cycle continues and I become more accustomed to the constantly changing flow of life...sometimes on smooth waters and sometimes on rough ones. On smooth waters where I get to take pleasure in living and on rough waters where I get my faith tested and see life in terms of God's view.
