Reality

Snap back to reality!

After all the gallivanting, I face reality today. I have no job! I did not feel panic until today... I have not been out of job since I got out of college!

But I am not about to complain, i'd like to tell you about Reality.

Reality No. 1: No one is indispensable.

I postponed telling my clients I am now resigned from Pramerica until today. I was afraid. I was afraid that they will have negative reactions. That they will feel betrayed... good thing I was over reacting. I texted them all today regarding my decision and all were so supportive and happy for me. No judgments. No negative comments. I am no different to them than their next life planner... or the next. To think that I was so afraid to move on feeling I would be disappointing them.

Reality No. 2: Prayer works!

Claire "bulen" will be leaving for Singapore tomorrow. She's been praying for it for a month now and it has finally been given to her. But as to all faithful followers, God gives it just when you are not expecting it anymore. Just when you have no hope but Him. Victory for you Bulen! Victory for Christ too. Live a good life my dear cousin!

Reality No. 3: Work isn't work until you make it work.

Otherwise, it's either a burden or a past time. I realized there were a lot going around my mind in Pramerica. Although I like what I was doing, I was not focusing on it. I made it a past time. Then a burden. I felt I was not successful enough. I was just one of the many... and I was not used to that. I felt I was imprisoned in my own mediocrity. Real or not, that was how I felt. And it was heavy on me to doom myself in those beliefs. How can I give glory to God that way?

First day with no activity and this is what I gathered under the dust. I'll keep looking.
