My Goal

A while ago in our room while staring blankly at my brother's cabinet and thinking about having been stranded and unable to go to work, I saw this small piece of wood laminated with a good poem, and a bible passage at the end of the poem. I remember that this piece of wood was one of my desk's paraphernalia back when I was still studying in College. As I grab and read each stanza, I can't also help but to notice the tore lamination and the slowly fading color on the design. The poem was so inspiring to me that I also began to remember the times when I was still actively participating in our Church's work, how it touches me, and how happy I feel whenever I get to inspire, share a smile, be in the service for others, and get to know each family that we get to visit.

So the following posted poem aims to preserve this memory, and also to share this poem which has also been my guide.

My Goal
author unknown
To be so strong that nothing can disturb
my peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and prosperity to
every person I meet.
To make all my friends feel that there is
something in them.
To look at the funny side of everything and
make my optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for
the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success
of others as I am about my own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press
on to the greater achievements of the
future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature I meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of
myself that I have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for
anger, too strong for fear and too
happy to permit the presence of trouble.

I press on toward the goal to win the prize
for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

- Philippians 3:14
