Ever since the last day of my school, my mind sang a hymn, "Finally, the storm is over." My body began to act on the desires according to my mind. I saw my body participate itself in comfortable and moderate activities and it was doing well although I trained it strictly and without mercy. Until a few days ago, I visited my school as I needed to settle some matters. The lecturer and technician remarked that I looked bigger and blessed as if I was enjoying the life. I giggled with a response, "Hallelujah!" Anyway, I thought I really spent too much time on the comfort zone as I realized that I played too much, leaving little room for reading and praying. But it was only temporary since I had not found a proper job yet. Meanwhile, I found a lot of pleasure in the commitments to the church. Well, August already begins. I am so aspired to be much more diligent from now onwards.
"The person with fortitude is the one who perseveres in doing what his conscience tells him ought to do. He does not measure the value of a task exclusively by the benefit he derives from it, but rather by the service he renders to others." - St Josemaria Escriva
"To be perfect in our vocation is nothing else than to fulfill the duties which our state of life obliges us to perform, and to accomplish them well, and only for the honor and love of God." - St Francis de Sales
