Stairway.

It was a holiday and in a quick yes, my guy and I went to Kamay Ni Hesus, a popular  destination among religious people in Lucban, Quezon. The trip includes climbing about 300+ steps in a hill and finally arrive at the top where the statue of Christ is erected ( don't worry you'll be using the stairs ).

I am not a religious type of person but I do go to church during Sundays, so as I watch my little steps on this adventure of climbing the hill, instead of minding the 14 stations of the cross, I thought about something else.

The stairway. The steps. The look below and the destination atop. In every ventures in life, we are faced with the challenge of the stairway, we start a little step below and continue to step on until we finally arrive at our destination. What I thought at this moment is that: Focus and enjoy the present step, instead of always minding and thinking back or ahead, don't mind the steps below because you'll always feel afraid of the height and feel the weight of each step, the tiredness; don't mind the steps atop because you'll always think of the number of steps ahead and you'll just fill yourself with imaginary worries and effort. Instead, enjoy each step and rejoice. If you want to rest, stop and this is the right moment to see where you are now: look below and gain strength from the steps you have conquered and look above and gain inspiration on the destination you aspire to arrive at. After such, go on and step again.
