Live to Survive?





Time is more valuable than gold, its priceless! It is so precious that we should cherish every minute of it. We should dedicate every second of it not only for the enrichment of ourselves but also for the enrichment of other people.

However, our modern-day society turned this world to a place where we spend more time working to acquire money and resources to satisfy our material needs. We now have fewer time to think, help, and inspire other people. For those of us who belong to the working society, we are practically devoting our entire years saving for retirement to financially prepare us for our old age. We are exhausting our time earning money to send our children to school. And by the time our children finish their schooling, they will be prepared to take a job that will serve as their means to survive their future life.This cycle goes on until the end of the last generation. What a way to spend our precious time! We just spend it working for money to feed our day to day needs.  If we can find a word to describe our way of living, that word would be SURVIVAL.


Would it be more meaningful if we will spare some of our precious time inspiring and helping others? Helping others doesn't require membership from the affluent side of our society. All we need to do is to step out of our small circle and start using our God-given talents to inspire others.


Life is not just about survival, its all about living it and loving it; including the people living around you.

Contentment is the key. Don't lose it.

 I am not really a fan of boxing. But as a Filipino, I have no choice but to listen to boxing updates every time there is an upcoming Manny Pacquiao boxing event. And during the actual fight, I am glued on my TV and I am one with the nation praying for Manny's success. The hype of every Pacquiao's fight is so intense that every Filipinos even in the remotest areas in the Philippines are tuned in to the live telecast of Manny's fight. Whether its from a free pay-per-view  set-up in a town hall sponsored by a local politician or simply in the comfort of their homes via delayed telecast from a local TV station, Filipinos from all walks of life are always cheering on every punch Manny gives to his opponent. And for every victorious fight, the nation celebrates with Manny. But his last fight with Tim Bradley was totally different, Filipinos were not excited anymore. Somehow, Pacman already lost some of his charms. Maybe it all started when he entered showbiz, he became an actor...

About Joshua Miguel

I grew up believing that dreams do come true. I was taught that as long as you work hard, follow your heart's desire, do good, and pray to God, your dreams will someday become a reality. I was also taught that If you fail once, try again and if you still fail, try harder. As they say, try and try until you die. I turned into writing blogs to release my frustrations in life. I wrote articles in Hubpages, Triond, Bukisa, and Associated Content. I am no longer active on those sites, I just created this blog site and  concentrated on this instead. Who is Joshua Miguel? Our real name was given to us by our parents. Not that I don't like the name given to me but if given a chance to change my name I would choose Joshua Miguel. That is the story behind my pen name and that is the reason why my blog-site's name is "Joshua's Page ". All articles in this blog-site were inspired by my day to day tho ughts and experiences. Hope you will en...

Predicting the future. Is it a gift?

How I wish I have the gift of Nostradamus so that I can predict the future.  I want to know the future so that I can prepare myself and my loved ones in the uncertainties of this world, Like this Covid19 pandemic for instance, If I knew this would happen, I would have saved enough money, stocked more groceries, and bought all the medical supplies to survived me for a year.  Looking back at my life, there were so many failures and pains that I've been through, I wished I would have prevented it. If I knew I will be involved in a vehicle accident when I was six, I would have never left the house. If I knew that I will be involved in a painful relationship, I would have taken a different path. And If I knew that it was the last day of my dad on this earth, I would have spent more time with him before his last breath. If I knew the future, there will be no more what ifs.   However, if I knew what will happen in the future, what will be my present life wil...
