it all around you. It is like the heartbeat you feel in your
body. You can feel the beat by counting silently. Listen to

 Core Value
Discipline
Music has beat and so us. Our steady beat in
life is when we are focused on our goal from the
beginning until the end. What we need to do is to
have a discipline especially in oneself so that we
will not be out of tuned with our self and with our
values. The goal that will be pleasing in the eyes
of our Lord and that will glorify him.
