Camino Lessons 1: Put Your Mind And Heart Into Something, Then You Can Do It

 So, I'm done with the first chapter... I mean Lesson. 

It's one written by Fr. Luciano, talks about perhaps believing in oneself and pushing forward until you reach your dreams. Its about perseverance especially in times when it is easier to give up. But as is said in the book, and to Fr. Luciano during that time... "Put one foot in front of the other, and you can do it." 

Many perhaps will say, it is easier said than done, and they might be right at some point but it can be done, albeit not without some difficulty and I think that was what Fr. Luciano wanted to say. Things might be difficult at times, it may even look impossible but with a little push and a lot of prayer, things can and will turn out for the better. 

Thoughts on the Reflection Questions:

Indeed, it hasn't been only once when I questioned where I am going, or if anything I did or do is of any value to me or to people I profess to love and care for. Sometimes, I feel like I'm swimming in deep waters and trying to hard to paddle but I'm still drowning and still in the same spot. I feel like I'm getting older but still stuck, not progressing, that at this age, sometimes I feel like I have nothing to show for it. During these times, honestly speaking I feel like I turn from God and seek wherever else I can find my worth. I don't want to do that, I want to turn TO God and allow Him to lead me, but my human nature takes better control I guess and I leave and go find my path on my own. I pray that I may learn to seek God in everything I do. When I'm happy, I'm sad or frustrated and needing direction. I pray that I may seek God for direction in everything I do. I honestly don't know who to turn to when I need some prodding, I have friends, even priest friends but right now, I really haven't found that one person whom I know will direct me to the right path to find where God wants me to.
