How Well my 2014 Went

I can say that my 2014 was the year that I embraced changes about myself (disregard my chubbier cheeks and bigger tummy tho, hahaha!) Anyway, this was the year that I graduated and had my first job. Using “had” because today will be my last day here in PSRC. I am just happy that I am feeling relieved. I had so many realizations during my stay here and it really helped me to gain deeper understanding on things.

I always keep in mind that change is inevitable, and that change is good. I am always afraid of it in the first place. What if I lose? What if I fail? But then, I realized that moving forward is almost the same thing as moving ahead. If you really wanted to succeed in life, you should not be afraid to take risk, and accept challenges, and if you wanted a certain thing for yourself, you should work hard for it.

My 2014 is all about my career. I had so many questions about my job during my first three months and spent time for overthinking about the path that i chose. Is this really what I wanted? I always find myself torned between choosing the field that I studied vs. Earning money but not out of my field. Bottomline is, learning vs money. That was really mind-boggling for me. I almost thought of quitting. I guess this pretty sums up everything:

“Never continue in a job you don't enjoy. If you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself, you'll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined.” - Johnny Carson

Soon, I learned that the deciding point is within yourself, within what your mind and heart really wants and disregarding other people’s viewpoint, but they could also a help too. Thank you to those people who took time to give their insights and advices about career stuff.

Nothing stays still.

Final word for this: “Life gives us endless chances to learn about change. One minute life is stuck, the next minute it is out of control and moving at headlong speed. When life is stuck, we long to make changes. When life is out of control, we long for things to stay the same.”
