Project 101: Re-Inventing Myself

The title speaks already.

Not a while ago, I did something I knew deep inside I SHOULDN'T DO. I am good at it - I guess since I was independently making decision for myself. AND I SHOULD PUT AN END TO IT.

Less than 3 months from now, I'll be setting my foot again in the Philippines. Maybe for a while or so. There are lot of things that happened to me since I have arrived here. Some are painful, some are happy things, some are disappointments but most importantly lessons that will either help me advance in life. AND I WILL CHOOSE PROGRESS.

I am back on blogging for a better reason. To LEARN and to HELP (I'll get more on this on the next post). To be honest, i feel like I am stuck for the last five years. I graduated at the age of 19. Got a clerical job for a year then three years in a call center industry. My current job is something I don't really enjoy BUT I HAVE TO because for a long time the reason is I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE and the I HAVE TO thing again. I am 26 this year and if I will compare myself to my friends and colleagues, I FEEL left behind. (By the way, I now realized comparison and jealousy should be treat as a wake up call to improve in a positive and healthy way!). Some of them if not already established, they're married. One thing though, I don't mind if I am still single - I am actually glad I am still!!! But of course, there are major things in my life right now that needs a big change of perspective. So let's roll the carpet.

You know that "AHA!" moment?
When you finally say to yourself: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
When you finally ask yourself: WHAT THE FUDGE I AM DOING WITH MY LIFE??
Then you think: Why am I doing these things? REALLY???

In my old notes it says:
                      "If it's going to be, it's up to me"
I believe, no matter how many motivational videos, lectures and readings I do, if I didn't take a massive action or CHOOSE TO DECIDE to change, everything else is not worth having.

So today .....

I choose to change to become a better me.
I choose to unleash my full potential.
I choose to learn and learn and learn.
I choose to have a healthy emotional mindset.
I choose to be wise in my decisions.
I choose to take my time properly.
I choose to grow and seek help.
I choose to party with my self imposed fears, doubt and worries.
I choose to stay positive and calm amidst of difficulties.
I choose to HELP OTHERS as I also continue to chase my dreams.

I don't have the capability to know the future and so everyone.
But one thing I have a sure control of: MY RESPONSE to my daily life.
