The higher

we soar

the smaller

we appear

to those who cannot

fly

— Friedrich Nietzsche

This is so true. As much as we want everyone to fly so that we could all fly together, in reality, that is not going to happen. And it’s a shame that not everyone could fly. And that even if some could fly, not everyone will fly at the same direction.

Some people are either born and doomed with weakness and poverty or born and blessed with will-power and wealth. Weak to fight and fly. They are stuck with no vision. No dreams. No ideas. No future. Others chase their dreams, hang on to their hopes, and live to their fullest potential.

Sometimes, the higher we soar, the more sacrifices we need to make. Most of us Filipinos in Japan have chosen to leave our families behind in order to feed them. We love them so much we needed to be apart from them.

Sometimes, we need to invest our times in study to improve ourselves, but in return, we have to lessen our time with friends who don’t understand your need to grow.

Sometimes, you have friends who act happy for you, but deep inside, are envious of your success.

Try to surround yourself with the right people. And should you need to be alone, enjoy the company of yourself. In time, you will enjoy the quietness. Like a lonely eagle soaring high over the sky.

Go and take the adventure. Fly high and soar!
