What…If?

I’ve been thinking again on same questions that linger on my mind years back. The same questions I have during soul-searching moment on things that will surely affect not only my present situation but also of my future and most, the future of those people I love most; my family.

Do I need to go on or not? Now or never? Will it be here or elsewhere?

Now, after experiencing and struggling on those tones and tones of things I can’t believeuntil now will happen and by God’s guidance and grace I made to overcome, I now believe that the first step towards setting and achieving personal goals is that you must realize you have to prepare for the future and not wait for it just to happen. Setting goals has forced me to take a look at my values. Then I started to think about my immediate and long-term goal and started to set some personal goals.

 I realized that during my younger years I am just waiting for my future to just happen. But now, it is in different angle,  I need to set first my short-term goal for the future and that is to become contented and believer with self-qualities and capabilities to go on life thus to win over  changes on life situations and my long-term goal is to be financially secure upon retirement.

What if, I decided to stop on the corner I am with, If I stop pursuing on something higher and valuable than I have now, for sure the goals I set are just there stagnant and worst ,success is hard to achieve.

Realization on achieving some things which at first I think are unreachable but to others look on them in a  different perspective and encouraging me to pursue because they care, really motivated me to go on.

Thanks to those who believed and forced me to move, to work for it; slowly but surely I will be there on the place that God reserved for me.
