Mr. Aguilar is one of the few people I know that truly exemplify what it means to have a well-balanced life. Regardless of his personal ambitions, jobs, or hobbies, he has consistently made what is most important to him- faith and family- a constant priority. I believe this unwavering standard of living has yielded not only the strength and togetherness of his family, but demonstrates a deep personal awareness of his morals, values, and mindset.

 

I have spoken to him on a number of occasions about the importance of maintaining a balanced life. He wisely refers to the cup analogy. If we, as humans, do not fill our own cup with the necessary ingredients of being our best self, then how will we fill the cup of others with our gifts? We become burned out and lack to give what others need. Mr. Aguilar can recognize this imbalance and combat that through reflection and working to find holistic solutions.

 

As a previous engineer, Mr. Aguilar meticulously processes how he organizes and deduces a thought or idea. In conversation, he can discern information beyond what I share with him when we talk. In an efficient manner, he looks to understand the big picture of matters, helping to simplify and make sense of something to discover the root of a situation. With his straightforward and precise work ethic, Mr. Aguilar’s words of wisdom are clear and are often, with the help of the Holy Spirit, what you might have been waiting or needing to hear as an individual.

 

Mr. Aguilar has both tremendous integrity and a tenacious drive to discover solutions. Overall, there are many attributes about Mr. Aguilar that make him unlike anyone I know. He knows what it takes to press on towards a goal; he knows what its like to fail and keep going; knows what it’s like to endure hardship, get burned out, and overcome adversity with grit. But most supremely, he has discovered for himself the true meaning of life and what it takes to live it in the best way, the way that fosters reaching fulfillment and finding true purpose and personal identity.
