aspect of man is his spiritual self.

their physical self and maintain its vigor through
exercises and other wellness activities just to
remain healthy.

philosophical as well as psychological self.

more important than physical bodies because it
gives us our basic sense of existence.

Identity
It is not about whom the person is, it’s
not about how many million of pesos that
person has in the bank, but it is about his
beliefs and his relationship to his creator.
It is about recognizing himself that there is
SOMEBODY UP THERE who is more
superior to him. It is He who directs his
path and maneuvers his life.
Human beings are special to Him – the Creator. This
is a simple truth! This vital statement needs to be
shared to our family members, friends and colleagues.
It would be a wonderful time to show them that they
are special because they were made for a reason.
Every individual was designed with a purpose of his
existence. So, one must not be discouraged, they have
to continue nurturing their spiritual self.
