Journey to the
Ultimate
By Br. Rocky Niño Manire, OP
Options are always present
when making choices. It is as
if options and choices are in a serious
commitment that they cannot go
without the presence of the other. We
can say that we cannot make a choice
if there are no options. The dilemma
of making a choice lies on the presence
of options. To know whether
your choice is the right option lies on
how you would deal with it through
the rest of your life.
There are people who became
successful because they made
the right choice through the help of
their faith in God, but before they
could say it, they suffer failures several
times. Despite these failures
they continue to live; they mustered
courage and endured pains and sufferings
until they mastered everything.
These failures transformed
them into great men and women
who showed the ultimate example
of what real courage is all about.
Those who have this kind of thinking
view life as something which has to
be consumed until the very last drop,
to its maximum. For them, life is a
journey with a goal, a journey which
will ultimately lead a person to that
one ribbon to claim the prize of victory.
Faith leads us to that ultimate
choice, to that one ribbon which is
God himself. But we can never be
there if we ourselves lack the necessary
things needed to be a faithful
servant. To make a choice among the
many options in life is not an easy
task; but with faith, we will surely be
guided by the Holy Spirit to make the
right choice.
