Sharing some aspects of the story of my life


Life becomes more meaningful if it is shared with oneself, with others and with God... Humans as we are, each one is endowed with the treasure of the mind. My dream since childhood has always been that of opening my mind to an inquiry of my inner self as well as whatever surrounds me – others call it reality.Every year, each month, weekly, everyday, each hour, every minute, every second, every moment…, I always plan, evaluate...Humans as we are, each one is endowed with the treasure of the mind.
My dream since childhood has always been that of opening my mind to an inquiry of my inner self as well as whatever surrounds me – others call it reality.Every year, each month, weekly, everyday, each hour, every minute, every second, every moment…, I always plan, evaluate and challenge myself on how to progress in life in a meaningful manner. Oftentimes, I have thought of acknowledging, appreciating and befriending whatever exists so that “this reality” can in turn take care of me. But I need to know what exists! I need to search for “this reality!” Consequently, I find aspects such as getting directly inserted into creation, reading materials like books, listening and playing music…, keeping me not only going but rather journeying with a “desire” and a “taste” of meaning in life. My little experience tells me that the more I attempt to know reality, the more reality enfolds and reveals itself to me. We only have to put our mind to a good task of questioning always, in view of searching for the ultimate reality, which is our end in life. Each moment, I challenge my mind as to whether I maintain and feed it with things that really matter, rather than excusing myself by keeping the mind inactive!A lot of treasures remains to be discovered. In this respect, I cherish cultivating the good culture of reading myself, reading books, reading creation… I always trust that reading is a help to myself and to others, especially in clarifying the vision and focus in life.
