Dreams

One very big obstacle I have in life is that I do not dream enough.

I was resigned to the fact that dreaming is a mere exercise that does not have anything to do with real life. For me, I just handle things as they happen. I make lemonade when life throws me lemons and apple pie when apples abound. That is it. For me, as long as I, my family and our relationship with others and of course with God is ok, we are ok.

It was one way of living a peaceful life. Until one day, just when you thought that you have thrown the towel running after your dreams, your dreams run after you.

In many ways, sobrang babaw ko. I do not want to dream of big things. They overwhelm me. When I left Pramerica, I listed a few things I wanted to be characteristic of my next work.

1. It should be as professional as IBank
2. It should be as related to my course as in Bennette.
3. It should be as fulfilling as in ICA
4. As lucrative as Pramerica
5. Mondays to Fridays only.
6. Travel is involved.
7. A lot of room for growth.
8. I can still do my norms.
9. Less pressure.

I wrote this in April, got into two call center jobs in between (este trainings lang pala) and just when I was ready to settle in.... they all came true.

I will start working with New York Life as Trainer on Monday. It fits my criteria to a T. Bonus, today Ruby of La Salle called she made it possible for me to continue writing even when I am already in a full time work. So how's that?

All of my life has lead me to the next step one day at a time. Sometimes, when I am about to turn the corner, all becomes hazy and I become hopeless. But there is always that tinge of hope that keeps me going.... until I turn the bend and find that my next destination is just around the corner. But the thing with life is... the journey never ends... and little victories keeps the fire burning long enough to get through yet another obstacle.

Ika nga ni Alix, "Life is a journey, not a destination."

For all these and the many more steps I'll take in my journey, I'd like to thank God. All of these, I received and for God's blessings as in life, I am just another stop over point, another station, just another post to yet another person.
