Similar to an artist's rendition of a master piece is my way of living God's gift - my life.

Independence Day?

May 28, 2006

Last Wednesday, May 24, 2006, marked the second year I've been working. It is also the day that my contract with my company expires. I can choose to stay with or leave my company. It's all up to me.

It made me think of the things I really want to do. Sometimes it makes me sad finding myself in the office at 10pm. In front of the flickering computer monitor. Finishing something that can't wait for the next day. Beating deadlines. Fulfilling promises you committed with your superior. Whew!

Deep inside me, I'm screaming. I want to live my life the way I want it to be! I want to breathe fresh air! I want to travel the world with my family and my friends. I want to study abroad and go back to the Philippines to teach in a public institution! I want to inspire young souls! Be an instrument to better the lives of other people!

Yet my mind shrinks in uncertainty. I know it's normal but I hope that it won't prevent me from achieving my goals, dreams and aspirations in life. I won't allow this monster trap me in mediocrity.

And I'm back tapping the keyboard… working!

I can very well relate with this post. I experienced the same dilemma before, thus I challenged myself with so many questions about my priorities, my plans in life. I went through a lot of soul-searching and finally decided not to renew my contract and go home. It was a risk on my part. Sometimes, life would be so tough and I'm tempted to have regrets about my decision. But I know this is where God wants me to be. I'm pretty sure what you have decided is the best for you and your family. GBU!
