ASPIRATION
Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
O! Aspiration!
You majestic road
To where all are brought
To fate’s myriad conclusions,
You are beheld
As a plane in Pythagoras’ universe
Contained in Euclid’s space
A foot away to grasp in an instance.
Yet how come that you,
In each one’ pathway
Seem millions of miles away,
Far beyond anyone’s reach?
O! Aspiration!
Please don’t appear as any
Unconquerable chimera
To willful beings
To the willful.
[Writ. 26 May 1988, Proj.8, Quezon City, M.Manila.]
REFLECTION
This poetic piece is about building one’s life
based on dreams or goals. “A man with a dream cannot be denied,” thundered a
former labor leader in the USA
who shifted later on to network marketing—he did succeed in the latter though
he was denied by potential markets or sponsored distributors hundreds of times
before his new business matured.
Having turned into a human development practitioner
during my professional career, I did realize the profound wisdom of propelling
yourself to achieving higher levels of “self-actualization” (using Maslow’s
term) with your chief dream as your empowering propellant.
In the Path of self-realization, it is important to
engage in pursuits of “right livelihood” (Buddha’s maxim), this being a 3rd
Ray work of perfecting your craft. Such craft or profession will aid you in
meeting your needs to be able to fulfill your highest goals of spiritual
liberation.
Go ahead and build dreams in your daily life. Set
goals, identify the means or strategies to attain those goals, and ensure that
they tie up with your very long term goal of self-realization.
