15 days na since nagsimula yung taong to, kamusta na mga goals mo?
I just spoke to a friend lately and listening to his rants about work, money, and life in general, I realized something...
Kung di ka na talaga masaya – whether sa trabaho mo, sa career mo, sa relationship mo, or sa kung ano mang ginagawa mo...
Bakit andyan ka pa?
Real talk lang.
Are you only staying because "no choice" ka na?
I find that hard to believe.
Why?
Kasi with the way the world is constructed right now, we have an ABUNDANCE of choices.
Sa sobrang dami nga, di mo na alam kung ano pipiliin mo.
"Analysis paralysis" na nga ang nangyayari.
But that's a topic for another day.
Ang point ko...
Saying "no choice" na tayo in any situation that we have is the BIGGEST LIE we tell ourselves.
If you want a "new and better" job, i-Google mo lang. Sobrang daming lalabas na job openings na pasok sa gusto mo.
Isama mo pa yung freelancing at mga remote work options.
Looking to switch careers? Daming courses (both free and paid) that will allow you to upskill what you already know or even learn a new skill.
Pwede mo ding pasukin ang mundo ng sales like being an agent ng mga sasakyan, becoming a financial advisor, or even a real estate broker.
Gusto mo ng bagong relationship? Napakadaling mag-sign up sa mga dating sites like Tinder, Bumble, LitMatch, at kung ano-ano pa.
Minsan nga IG or Snapchat lang pwede na. Iykyk.
So bakit ka nga ba talaga nag-s'stay sa kung anong meron ka, kahit parang di ka na masaya?
(Opinion ko lang naman 'to...)
Kasi deep inside, you know you can do better.
Deep inside, you haven't given everything you can give.
Deep inside, alam mong may igagaling ka pa.
At natatakot kang pagsisihan na umalis ka agad nang hindi mo pa talaga nagawa yung best mo.
Sabi nga ng isa sa mga mentors ko...
The grass is NOT always greener on the other side, it's greener when you water it.
And TRUE happiness is found NOT by looking at others' backyards, but by looking at your own backyard and working it out to be the best it can be.
Kaya naman this 2024, may we adapt this kind of mantra...
Ilaban muna natin ng todo bago tayo sumuko.
Ibigay muna natin lahat ng kaya nating ibigay bago tayo umalis.
Galingan muna natin ng matindi bago natin sabihin na "maybe it's not for me."
Let's give our best FIRST before we give up.
So in the end, we won't have any regrets.
After all, one thing I've learned about humans is this:
THE PAIN OF REGRET IS ALWAYS GREATER THAN THE FEAR OF FAILURE.
Di bale nang mag-fail, kesa wala tayong gawin at magsisi sa huli.
