Above is a picture of the Velveteen Rabbit, the titular character in Margery Williams' classic children's book. The Velveteen Rabbit teaches us that when you love others and when you are loved by others, you become real. In that message, I am best reminded and inspired to practice Magis because in choosing to become a loving person and choosing the more loving options, I know that I am attending to my realness as a person, and honoring and glorifying our common my humanity.

This is Pancho, our dog. He's been getting on my nerves lately because he barks loudly whenever he sees me prepare his food or when he follows me around, like a shadow.

My parents have always guided our family's growth by enabling us to stand by our values, especially that of of extending ourselves to others. Neither of them are perfect, and it is their acceptance of this that allows them to grow with us.

Chae Song-hwa from Hospital Playlist reminds that when you love what you do for others, there is no end in seeking ways to do so.

She motivates me to dream big and to never stop learning during the process.

Essentially, I hope to aim as high as the sky.

I feel like pets teach us a lot of things about loving unconditionally and learning how to provide the best to others. The standards by which we love our pets -- with all their innocence and charm -- should also be the way we treat others no matter who they are.

The attached photo is my desk just on the right side of my laptop. The photo is of me and my grandfather, he passed in 2020. Throughout my life he has inspired me, this is why I have our photo together on my desk as he continues to inspire me to do my absolute best, but most importantly to be loving as he was to my cousins and I. Everyday I pray that I have made my grandfather proud and have grown into the loving person that he taught me to be.

I don't have a picture of my dead dog but he looked quite similar to this one. My dead dog Taco inspires me to practice magis because my time with him was so limited and I barely got to show him how much I actually loved him. Because of how much it hurt when he died I'm inspire to love so much harder and go further with showing how much I love the things I love.

This photo was me and my lola back when I graduated grade school. She passed away last 2018. She always sought to use her capabilities to help others and gave us opportunities she didn't have.

My family continually inspires me to practice the spirit of Magis. My parents’ sacrifices for me always motivate me to continue on my journey and to do my best in everything that I do.

Above is a picture of a 3d print of my boyfriend and I, which he made for me as a Valentine's gift. He chooses to remain gentle, empathetic, and forgiving even during a time when I genuinely felt like I didn't deserve it. After such incident, I became motivated to be more loving in terms of my words and actions regardless of the circumstances.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the best person to remind oneself of exercising the value of Magis would be themselves. In any personal decision and route I take, I realize that it's ultimately up to myself whether or not I'd courageously take the extra mile to pursue what I think is right and would create the most fruitful and loving impact for others. I inspire myself to live up to practicing Magis because the choices being personally made are not merely critical to how my life would pan out, but I recognize that this also has a profound effect on the lives of others. With that, Magis motivates me to be careful and be loving in all my current and future pursuits.

Though a little cheesy, watching the sun set has been the constant reminder for me to choose love in all things. That feeling you go through in a span of less than 5 minutes while you're in complete silence reminds me of how much good there is despite the noise of everything around us. Despite not being able to see it sometimes, good things do happen still as the sun reminds us it will set every day despite us not being present to witness it.

His persisting love and care to our family reminds me that there is still good in the world and that it is still worth loving and caring for.

The youth best reminds and inspires me to practice the spirit of Magis because they are the ones who will inherit the problems of today if we do not choose to take action over our current situation (e.g. climate change, injustice, inequality).

My grandmother who passed away almost two years ago was a woman who embodied Magis. She was my mother's aunt, she didn't have a family of her own but she treated us as her family. She went above and beyond to take care of me and my siblings, and constantly told us that we were capable of great things.

My ministries in my parish, wherein my parents are also part of, have been a constant in my life for the past 16 years and they have always been a reason for me to excel in everything that I do, because the way they chose to serve lovingly is indeed very contagious.

A recent reminder of Magis for me was the meeting my Project Management group and I had with our NSTP Partner Community, as we solidify plans for implementing our development initiative. The meeting reminded me of how our requirements are actually more than just requirements we need to pass a class. At the other end of the 'requirement', there are real people who are empowered and willing to put their hearts into the project.

What drives me to practice Magis in everything that I do is my family because of all the struggles that we've overcome together. I think that in having to make very difficult decisions in the past, I've learned that I have to choose the more loving option even when presented with limited and sometimes undesirable choices. I'm constantly reminded that I should not let my experiences weigh me down; rather, I must grow around them and choose to take a step in the right direction.

In this scene, all of Watanabe's colleagues become inspired to follow his goodwill and commit their lives in improving their local community. It is a scene which proves that acts of love never truly terminate after they have been executed, they inspire others to love and do what must be done.

This is a photo from an outreach program we had back in senior high school, and it encapsulates what inspires me to choose the more loving option every day. Whenever I'm faced with challenges and difficulties, I think about the kids and people in marginalized sectors, and the struggles that they face because of the injustices of the world. Not in a sense that it makes me feel better about myself, but in a sense where I know I have to move forward and be a better person every day so that I can continue to fight and advocate for them. They inspire me to choose kindness every day because in being able to be my best, most loving self, I can also be a person for others.

After our 1 day visit in the POC (in SHS years), I was introduced in the sad reality of the healthcare system. I've seen how both the medical practitioners  and patients suffer because of the lack of hospital facilities and equipment. This then inspired me to become a doctor someday in order to offer a quality healthcare service to the people, who are in need. However, I'm still uncertain with this path -- as it's a battle between practicality and passion.

My parents serve as my greatest inspirations and reminders to practice the spirit of Magis. All my life, they have shown me what it truly means to be loved, and how people would be willing to go to great lengths in order to show it. Further, they have indeed gone above and beyond for our family just to provide us with a good life and to help us work towards our dreams, and that in itself has inspired me to be of service and try my best to be there for the people that I am surrounded with.
