My Purpose In Life Novels & Stories

“But don’t worry… dahil igaganti ko kayong lahat. Hangga’t nabubuhay ako sa mundong ‘to, hindi ako titigil na hingin sa Diyos ang hustisya para sa pagkamatay n’yo. Even if this cost my life, I would put it at stake. Dahil ang tanging goal ko na lang kaya ako nabubuhay ngayon ay para iganti kayo sa taong may gawa nito.” As I was satisfied with crying in front of the gravestones of my family, I stood up and left the place immediately. Hindi ko na binanggohan pa ang pagdadrama ko roon at pag-iyak dahil mahihirapan akong i-retouch ang sarili ko, e may kailangan pa akong puntahan na meeting. Tulad ng ipinangako ko sa sarili ko from thirteen years ago, I take my survival as my way to start a new b

Ang ikinakatakot ko ay ang mamatay nang hindi nasasabi sa mga taong mahal ko ang mga nararamdaman ko, ang mga gusto kong sabihin. I still want to meet my father, I still want him to know that I already forgive him. I want him to know that I love him because he is still my father no matter what happens. I still want to apologize to Tita Trisha, for the pain that she has to go through. I still want to be the voice of other women, I still want to share my life to empower them, I still want to be a stronger version of myself. Now that I finally found my purpose, I realized I'm not yet ready to die.

Hindi masayang pumatay kahit na kapalit ay hustisya. Dumating sa puntong hindi ko na kilala ang sarili ko. Hindi ko na alam kung saan patungo itong ginagawa ko. Nawalan ako ng direksyon sa buhay. Successful ang mga negosyo namin ni dad, pero talo ang pagkatao ko. My life didn't have a purpose anymore. Not until... I met her.

Naghahanap ng gustong magbahagi. Kung nasa ordinaryong araw at hindi ganitong akma na akma sa akin ang tanong ay agad-agad akong sasagot. Pero hindi, isinaisip at isinapuso ko ang tanong. The purpose of life is to live as the fullest expression of yourself... My interpretation will be it is to live and to do everything that you dream about. It is making sure that you chased your dreams and accomplished them. It's never giving up until you succeed, to truly live is to follow the direction you want to take in life in order to finally build your own path and create your own destiny.

Kaysa mag-isip nang kung anu-ano ay sinimulan ko na lamang ang magbasa. ‘The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but a life without a purpose.’ Ang gandang bungad. Kaya lang— hindi ko alam ang ibig sabihin n‘yon. Bukod kasi sa life, death, at purpose ay wala na 'kong ibang naintindihan. Ang hirap talaga kapag walang pinag-aralan. Grabe 'yung level nang awa ko sa 'king sarili!

The least I can do was give Him back the favor. I often thought that my real purpose in this life was to be a priest. Iyon ang buong akala kong gusto ng Diyos para sa'kin kaya Niya ako binigyan ng pangalawang pagkakataon para mabuhay. But like what the scripture says, God's thoughts are higher than ours and His ways are way higher than our ways. God is perfect and He is the only One who can lay the perfect and absolute plan in our lives even if we were first sinners. I have sinned against Him before my ordination but he still gave me the very best. And my very best is the reason why I have realized what my real purpose in this life is.

Nanatili naman akong nakatingala sa langit. "Kaya nga sila itinaas diyan para walang makakuha sakanila. You know what, Xavi"baling kong sabi sa'kanya. "I'd realize na minsan talaga hindi natin makukuha ang mga gusto natin kahit anong sikap, pagta-trabaho at pagti-tiyaga ang gawin natin.Because we have a mission and purpose in life na malayo 'don sa plano natin at pinapangarap natin"paliwanag ko.

"Lucky" “Always remember Einalem that all of us have purpose in this world, the reason why we’re living now. Don’ waste this life because you have purpose, the only thing that you need to do…is find it. Einalem, find your purpose so you would have a reason to live.” That was my grandmother last message to me before she died in that hospital bed. After that day it always keeps repeating on my mind. Grandma says we all have purpose in this world the reason why we live. It means I have purpose. We’re not just nothing.

Perhaps, in my own point of view, when people think of giving up, that is because they lack of purpose. Setting a purpose or goal in life will be our drive to finish this longest ride. Think of it as a fun run. Life is a journey of fun and obstacles. In the process, you have people, you have the beauty of the world, yet when no one stayed, you are left with no choice but to take the run by yourself. You need to be stronger. You need to fuel your drive. Visualize the finish line, and it will be appearing before you could even notice it.
