Each of us has our own destiny. If something worked out for you on a particular path, that doesn’t mean it will be the same path for everyone. There is no single route to success for everyone. Each person must carry their own gear to live out their destiny. To each their destiny! I had […]
“We are living in exciting times, as science is shattering old myths and rewriting a fundamental belief of human civilization. The belief that we are fragile biochemical machines controlled by our genes is giving way to a new understanding: we are powerful creators of our lives and the world we live in.” Dr. Bruce H. […]
“Wealth attracts friends; poverty selects them.” – François Villon Many will not share my personal convictions regarding prosperity. As for wealth, I would say it is first spiritual, then mental, then cognitive, and finally material. The poor will believe that wealth is primarily material. That, too, is a misconception. Wealth is, first and foremost, spiritual. […]
This might sound absurd, but everything depends on your perspective. What is more important in a man’s life—work or time? Obviously, it’s time. Without time, there can be no work. Yet, even if you don’t have work, you will always have time. If you were asked to choose between work and health, what would you […]

First, there is faith—the faith of Jesus, the faith of the crowd, but also the faith of the young boy who had the […]
The bearer of destiny is not tasked with determining your path, but he does have the power to significantly influence it. Imagine yourself on the shoulders of a giant—but what if that giant were blind? And what if he had lost his sense of direction? The giant is supposed to see farther than us, walk […]
I spent fifteen years in silence. Once, I brushed shoulders with wealth, but I lost it almost immediately. I was a young, naive, ignorant, and inexperienced man. Since childhood, I had dreamed of a better world without fully grasping the cost of the sacrifice it demanded. When one has known self-sacrifice, when one has “shed […]
I keep thinking about Asia, Asia Minor. The vision of Francis Xavier. The school. That village high up in the Asian mountains. I think about China, the giant of Asia. I think about the times of persecution of the Church. I think about the ministry of the Apostle Paul, and why he was forbidden to […]
Yesterday, I had my very first real integration activity on the other side of the world, here in Laos. The young students from the French department came to pick me up from my place of assignment, each on their scooter. My favorite, Seethrong, drove me to my dorm room, number 201, so I could change […]
