Living for others is not as simple as one click; you must to do it on purpose. It may
not be easy to put others first before your own good but a simple act of kindness is already the
first step on living a life for the others.
I am currently studying in Polytechnic University of the Philippines San Pedro
Campus; major in Human Resources Development Management. Im just an ordinary student
who wants to lead people, to write stories and essay, and to testify what God did to my life. I
thought living for others means you have to be the President of the Philippines, a well-known
Author, and a Pastor. I thought you need to be a popular person in
order to influence and inspire others. I thought I have to be someone
that I dont want in order to promote and advocate my belief when it
comes to living for others. I was too nave that time. That I forgot
what Christ did to my life. He restored me, forgiven me and blessed
me, not only to be called His princess, but also to be a servant in this
world. It is now clear to me that God put all my passions in my heart
because He knows that I can use it for good and to glorify His name.
I lead people not to control them; I lead people because Im
training them to be a leader. I write stories and essay not because I
want to show my readers that I am good at this; I write stories and
essay to influence my readers to write their own stories and share it to
everyone. I testify the things that God did to me not to boast that I am
a child of God; I testify the miracles God made in my life because this
is what He wants me to do, He wants me to share the love that I experienced, the love He wanted
to give to everyone, especially to the lost, broken and abandoned. And for me, this is how I live
my life for others. I wont get tired of inspiring, influencing and speaking to every person that I
met. I want to be a blessing to them that they also wanted to be a blessing to others, too. I want to
inspire them that they became the inspiration of other people around them.
I want to pass the question that keeps on running in my mind, how do you live for
others? AA.
