pursuing one's passion
I envy those people who can pursue their passion without any fear. I used to be like that but after my father's death, I've learned to be more cautious with my decisions in life. After his death, our financial stability as a family wavered as well. I cannot just do anything I want to do now, there will be people affected if I make the wrong decision/s.
At this point in time, I really don't know what I want to do with my career. But one thing's for sure, I don't want to be eaten up by the corporate world and spend my lifetime here. On our way home last Friday, my sis and I had a little talk about our careers. We actually have the same view on this thing. We just do what is expected of us as employees but we do not really want to aim for prestige or higher positions in the company we're both working for at present. We both don't want the pressure that a higher position entails. For those people who knew what we went through, they would understand that our personal life has been so complicated and we already dealt with a much bigger pressure. If our careers will be embedded with more pressure, our system might not be able to take it anymore. We also have other extra-crricular activities (my siblings and I are all active members of CFC-Singles for Christ). I really envy those people who knew what they want out of their career. Those who can easily get out and pursue what they really want...volunteer work, being artists, starting a small business, etc. If I only have the means, I would do the same thing.
Pls. don't think that I'm really a "lost" person because I'm not. I know exactly what I want to happen with my life. I know I would want to have a family (which I will be starting soon) and be the best mother to my soon-to-be-kids and best wife to my future husband. I also know that I still want to continue serving God through the CFC community for as long as I live. It's really just in the career aspect that I'm at a loss. On second thought, I probably know what I want to happen with my career... I just do not want to admit it and I might be too scared to change the course of my life. I hope I will have the courage soon... I really wanna be free... free from the melancholy of enduring something that I am not passionate about.
