It’s ironic that I’m asked this question today as I was supposed to attend a Job Fair Event.
I wasn’t able to go because I caught a cold and was feeling extremely weak.
Processing the idea that a lot of people will be there, discouraged me to push through despite of my weakness.
Days before the event, I felt so unready for real life to begin.
I wondered why.
Is it because I might land a job I don’t like?
Or that people in the workplace might be mean?
Is fear of rejection reigning over my heart?
I don’t want to operate from a fear-based perspective. I want to have courage and a fulfilling hope for the future.
Hearing about my friends’ follow-up interviews made me genuinely happy for them. Yet, I couldn’t help but think I was missing out on something.
I thought about how different my dreams are compared to theirs.
Knowing myself I know that if ever I get a job, I NEED an occupation that allows me to be independent, communicate with people, organize, and help others( i need to see my impact first-hand). These are what’s going to make me feel fulfilled.
Now my degree is in accounting. I’m not sure how this is going to be for me…
It’s crucial to be self-aware in order for us to know what will help us function well in society.
God brought back my mind to what’s truly important, which is to serve and worship Him. And I’m grateful for the Father’s loving gesture.
I trust that God has a plan for me. He has prepared something. All I have to do is put my best feet forward and have the courage to say YES.
