Chasing Puppy

Chasing after puppy reminds me of my own chasing after external signs in order to interpret my own life. I did things externally, thinking that the external things will help me to discover deeper meaning of self and life. I found no relish in the conflicting views or conclusion that I have drawn from people, things and happenings around me.


Even though to some extend, external things mirror back to me who I really am, but sole dependent on external things to define my own identity is definitely a wrong move. I have yet to work harder explore inwardly to discover my true self and my deepest desire in life.

[Reflection on Autobiography of St. Ignatius, Para. 23]
