Seek What Is True, Good, and Worth Following

My name matters far less than honoring God and serving as a pillar for those I love. Having lost my parents to violence and addiction before age nine, I learned early that our choices—not our past—define us, leaving no room for excuses. Everything is possible when God comes first; peace and true strength are forged through faith, discipline, and personal responsibility. This blog exists solely to be a light for those seeking guidance grounded entirely in God’s Word, not my own.

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
— Philippians 4:8

“Circumstances don’t make the man, they only reveal him to himself.”
— Epictetus

“Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.”
— Marcus Aurelius

Here, you will find lessons drawn from Scripture and the timeless wisdom of history’s greatest figures. The core struggles and triumphs of the human condition—pain, defeat, love, and success—do not shift with modern trends; they echo through every generation. All that we possess is an unmerited gift from the Creator, and when people or circumstances are stripped away, it is often divine redirection forging our endurance. In abundance or trial, true growth demands that we remain thankful, embrace the weight of our responsibilities, take up our cross, and walk the narrow path to follow Christ.

Intention

Everything we do must be done with absolute intention—from the times you boldly say yes to the times you firmly say no, from when you offer help to when you face severe adversity. It is absolutely necessary that we know the exact reason why we are about to perform an action. We must educate and inform ourselves about all the variables involved in anything we are about to undertake. The practice of making "Educated Decisions" is a discipline we must adopt as early in life as possible. We can progress, move forward, and grow the fastest when deliberate intention and informed decision-making become the bedrock of our behavior in everything we execute.

Call evil by its name!

This is going to be a hard chapter to read, but it comes with the truth, and the truth is not always kind, beautiful, or gentle. The truth does not exist to validate or please anyone. We live in a world in which even churches allow moral degeneration in order to preserve a following and secure tithing from their members. Many people go to church merely to socialize, not to seek God. Our world is suffering from an infinity of evil forms. Humans have lost their identity; men and women have, in many cases, abandoned the biological identity given to them by God, to the point that some even identify themselves as animals. There are adults acting like children to avoid responsibility, and people pretending to have mental illnesses, using them as an excuse to receive benefits and avoid confronting the reality of adulthood. We witness the horrific reality of child abuse, paraded publicly in the news and on social media. Humans are being trafficked. There are all kinds of sexual degeneration, including public cases involving transgender and sexual predators abusing the children and vulnerable people in public spaces. We are surrounded by an infinity of false gospels and religions, where people speak of God but actively avoid mentioning Satan or addressing what is truly evil in the world—a deception some rightfully call the "Cotton Candy Gospel." But the absolute truth is that evil exists, and it must be addressed. People glorify empty titles and material possessions, monetizing activities that literally result in the destruction and death of others, there is even people who glorify the Narco, the criminal and the evil simply because they have money and material posesions. Evil is here, and we must boldly recognize it to defeat it.

Honor and Dignity

These two words are profoundly important for the life of any human being, and yet they are being forgotten. In this modern society of social media, deep fakes, pretension, false idols, and the endless craving for validation, we are losing our sense of self-respect. Through this decay, we witness a catastrophic lack of character in men and women to say "NO," and the inability to use that word is sinking lives and souls into mental and economic poverty. In my lifetime, from 1980 until this year 2026, I have seen the normalization of things that for millennia were rightfully considered shameful. The last two generations are openly celebrating actions that, even centuries before Christ, were recognized as evil. Technology should be a powerful source of knowledge, wisdom, and education, but humanity has weaponized it to produce the most vile, vulgar, and senseless content, broadcasting it across the globe until stupidity itself becomes viral. We see young souls selling their bodies online, the adoration of animals above humans, and profound degeneration—from pornography to platforms like OnlyFans—not only being consumed but becoming a normalized social standard. We see people performing the most foolish dance moves on social media, individuals boasting of rampant promiscuity, and the pushing of gender ideology onto preschool children. This includes grown men, older than fifty, dressing in absurd costumes like unicorns or the Little Mermaid, parading half-naked before children, and the hijacking of the rainbow. This is completely unacceptable, as the rainbow is the sacred symbol of the promise God made to Noah to never completely erase humanity as He did after the flood. We even witness people in power and celebrities abusing children and committing atrocities without being punished. To correct this dark trajectory, we must refuse to comply, actively shield our families from these corrupting influences, and reinstate absolute moral boundaries in our homes.

Prosperity

In these times, society and humanity seem completely lost when it comes to understanding true prosperity, well-being, or wealth. God commands us, "This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." But that does not mean things will come to us merely because we desire them. The Bible, history, science, economics, and mathematics are very clear in showing that for every action, there is a reaction. Therefore, prosperity will not come to us just because we attempt to "Manifest" it, sit in a mystical posture burning incense, or believe that simply thinking about something will make it materialize due to a wrong concept of the law of attraction. True prosperity is the consequence of discipline, knowledge, wisdom, responsibility, and hard work applied in real-time conditions, in the real world, with zero excuses. We must also be fiercely aware of the false prosperity of those who take advantage of the vulnerable—those who feel lonely, sick, or desperate for guidance, and who fall for the false promises offered by the representatives of these New Age, comfort-driven communities with absolutely no basis in reality. When confronting these deceptions, the way to overcome them is by rejecting false shortcuts and grounding yourself in truth. The moment you accept responsibility, discipline, and hard work, you will see things materialize, just as God designed it for men and women. We must never forget His word, which may sound harsh to the modern ear, yet is perfectly logical: "Those unwilling to work will not get to eat."

I must start this article with a profound phrase: "A man who plants a tree, knowing he will never sit under its shade, has finally started to understand the purpose of life." Humans lately are lost and trapped in the concept of "me, me, and me." Our egos, in a vast majority of the human population, are out of proportion and focus, placing attention on things completely out of reality. As I mentioned in previous articles, we are losing our human identity. It is worrying because we have forgotten what really matters, and that whatever we have has been passed to us by previous generations, therefore origin and past matter. In many cases, we forget that we had a roof over our heads, that while being children, we needed somebody to pay the bills, to keep food on the table, to educate us, to pass values to us, to care for us, and to respond when we got sick or faced even more serious situations, including death. We have forgotten to be thankful for what God provides and how lucky we are when we had all we needed as children, provided by our loving parents, or that person who loved us enough to raise us.

In these modern times, I have noticed how lost we are as a society and as humans. The core of being human is the family; no human exists without a father and a mother, with no exception. Anything else, yet similar, should not be considered as such. The main meaning of a family starts with love, with the correct biological union that can create life—life that will be consequent to the love and care between a man and a woman. I am not trying to be redundant, yet I am trying to emphasize the word "LOVE."
