my wishes for you

Dear children of God,

You can never thank your parents enough no matter how you'd try to repay them unless you become a parent yourself. In the same manner, you can never thank a teacher enough unless you become a teacher yourself. If you can’t be "like" them then the only way is to make an effort to proliferate their teachings and give justice to what they lived for.

A parent is never good enough unless she raised a good child. A teacher is not great enough unless he taught a child to become a good student. See? By being a good scholar (of God and country), you have thanked me more than the materials things you can offer. Nothing can paint a smile in your parents’ lips than to see you live upright. I also wish you the same. Your parents’ wishes for you and mine are but the same.

I wish you happiness. Alright the better word is joy. Joy is something that emanates from within. It comes from within our heart. It is still there when things would go wrong around you. It is something you can hold on to in times of adversities. You can make it happen. Ok, I also find my idea confusing. This kind of feeling is self initiated rather than influenced by those around you. In other words you hold this in your hands. They say happiness is a choice but it remains as it is if you have a choice in the first place. Therefore happiness is making choices to choose from. But how can you let this happen? Well you decide what you want in life and have a mission. Most people actually exist without really knowing their essence in this world. They end up reaching their journey without making an imprint. They simply passed and they did not touch anyone’s life at all.

That is why to have as many choices to have joy in your heart, it is important that you realize by now what you want in life. It is also worth noting how you want to be remembered when you pass away.

I wish you to remain humble. I always remember my high school teacher telling us always, “Humility is the mother of all virtues”. One cannot possess other virtues if you don’t have humility. You need not brag whatever you have accomplished in life. Everybody knows what we are doing but God still knows why we are doing them.

I wish you to remember always that there is God. My first two wishes for you can only be attained when all things you do are rooted in Him.

Godbless,
