In Retrospection.

Capricorn, the tenth sign of the zodiac, is all about hard work. Those born under this sign are more than happy to put in a full day at the office, realizing that it will likely take a lot of those days to get to the top. That’s no problem, since Capricorns are both ambitious and determined: they will get there. Life is one big project for these folks, and they adapt to this by adopting a businesslike approach to most everything they do. Capricorns are practical as well, taking things one step at a time and being as realistic and pragmatic as possible. The Capricorn-born are extremely dedicated to their goals, almost to the point of stubbornness. Those victories sure smell sweet, though, and that thought alone will keep Capricorns going.

Capricorns are industrious, efficient, organized and won’t make a lot of waves. They are scrupulous with details and adopt a rather conventional posture in business and in life. These folks feel best playing it safe, since this is a fail-safe way to get to the top — eventually.

The great strengths of the Capricorn-born are their willingness to work hard and their determination to succeed. Their ambition is boundless, yet they are cautious, responsible and always play fair. That’s why their successes are all the more sweet. - www.astrology.com/capricorn-sun-sign-zodiac-signs/2-d-d-66920

I really don’t believe in star signs and horoscope. I just read them for the sake of actually reading it. Well, based on what I’ve quoted above, I am fit to be a capricorn because, yes, I possess the attributes the article describes.

But some stuff really don’t fit me well and I don’t think that should be a problem.  In previous posts, I often describe myself as a lost soul.  As someone who has not found passion in life, just yet.  Maybe I’m in the correct star sign but it’s still my choice right, to make my mark in the world. 

I am Roman Catholic since birth and I don’t have plans of changing my religion anytime soon. I admit being lazy to go to church most of the time. Sometimes, I don’t even understand the sense of sitting, standing and listening to sermons of priests for an hour or so but I believe that doesn’t make me less of a Catholic. I believe that I have this personal relation with my God that only I can understand. Maybe conservatives won’t agree with me but I know that having a personal relationship with God is more important.

At the end of the day, I believe that it doesn’t matter if I am Catholic, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Atheist, Agnostic or what not. What is important is upholding the faith and building a personal relationship with your Supreme Being. As the Church always say, we are one in the eyes of God right? 

I have different views on both ‘items’, for lack of a better term.

Let’s see.

Drugs for me is a no-no. Though I won’t be a hypocrite and say that I haven’t tried anything. Yeah, who doesn’t go through life not trying the mary, right? But it ends there. Getting hooked on it is a different story.

We’ve heard endless stories about how drugs destroyed lives of many people - users and the people around them. Drugs are illegal for a reason and we know that it is not meant to make us well or happy nor will it solve our problems or make the world a better place. I think it is here for a reason and that is to test our self-control and make us realize how we need not rely on such substances in order to be contented in life.

Alcohol, on the other hand, I believe, should be taken in moderation. I know my friends tease me about being an alcoholic or a drunkard or what not. But I believe that I know my limits and I know when to stop. Of course I’ve been smashed drunk and abused it in many ways but I’ve learned my lesson and I’m starting to change… And mature.

My dad told me that there’s a difference between being drunk and being happy. We drink because we are happy, not because we are sad. We don’t drink to drown ourselves in alcohol and wake up the following day with a severe hangover and our problems. We drink because we build bridges, be happy and share stories. 

So I guess, alcohol is good when taken in moderation and drugs are just… BAD. 

I’ve written this before and think that I’ve somehow renewed my outlook in life. 

So, 10 years huh? I really don’t know actually. But I’d like to be financially stable already. Married? I guess. With kids? I have no idea.

In 10 years, I’d want to be successful in anything that I’ve been doing. That time, I want to be in a place where I really want to be. I know that right now, I still am finding myself - balancing my priorities and deciding on what I really want in life. I hope that by that time, I’ve already found myself because I really want my 30s to be the peak of my career and my life.

But everything that I like and I hope for won’t be possible without the help of God. I just wish that in whatever endeavor I engage myself in, that would be the will of God.
