Finding your own goals in life…

I came to realize that life is not getting the best out of everything. What is the point of getting the best when you had achieved the results? Ask yourself; is this what you really want? What you really hoped for? Or this is just what everybody thinks that this is the best and anyone would desires…

Take a look around you. There are people driving nice cars, big cars with powerful engine, paying high installments every month; people living in big house, bungalows, having a few units of condominium; people having extra services, maids, gardeners, drivers, pet trainers. You name it!

We are always told to be contented, to appreciate what we have and not to compare among human since we’re little. What about now? When we are all grown up, getting older, having wiser thinking and all these thoughts are just dumped into the rubbish bin? A majority of people nowadays are having such thinking. It is not wrong to set high goals, but is there anyone who would look at the other side of the coin, to accept the limits of oneself?

I reached a stage where I was struggling, to find out what I want to do with my life, the next step that I was suppose to take. I thought to myself when my mom says that she is happy with her job as a clerk for many years, my aunt as a clerk who stand a chance to get promoted rejected the offer. Are they able to survive with such pay, to support their family and children? They lead a happy life with their family. They like what they are doing; they put in a little more each day perhaps. For them, having the best is not everything. Be contented and family connection are the things that is more important to them.

There’s someone who tells me that every journey will have their own destination. It does not matter which route you took, you will gain something at the end of the journey. It is just like what Robert Frost did in The Road Not Taken. He chose the route that lesser people would travel and he is satisfied with what he gained at the end.

So to all my friends out there, find your own goals in life. Only your own goals will give you satisfaction in the things that you do. Your hard work will bear fruits. At times when things does not comes your way, do not be disappointed or give up over unsatisfying results. Improve yourself.

If you are lost, having no goals, do not be worry as every journey you take will bring you somewhere. Learning is continuous process and remembers that "When everything seems to be going against you, remember the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it." So when things comes the opposite ways, take up the challenge and remember what Henry Ford says. Have faith~
