The Answer Lies in your Heart



After College, I was asking myself, "quo vadis, where are you going?" All I know is that I wanted to be employed as soon as possible. So I went hither and thither and got lost along the way. My first job was at EJ Realty and Radiance Incorporated. Those are the businesses of my aunt. She is a realtor and she has several other businesses. In fact she is a billionaire owning a columbary worth 2 billion or so and some other realty development businesses. I just stayed there for about two to three weeks and I got pirated. 

My next job is at St. Peter Parish. I was hired as Marketing Officer of SPP Columbary. First two jobs basically for the dead. How fulfilling, isn't it? Kidding aside. It went on for about two to three months until I was MIS-placed again. I was transferred to the Programs Services department of the parish as full time Youth Coordinator. I love the Youth Ministry. In fact, youth empowerment is my advocacy. But then I was once again MIS-placed and got converted into Parish Programs Coordinator. I was practically handling all the programs and services. Though technically, the task is more on coordination I felt like I have a lot of bosses and I can't handle it anymore. 

In just a year, my un-happiness started to show. I was crying almost every night and I grew in size. That is the time I realized, I should go. I wanted to be back to my LIFE. So I decided to have a Revamp. So I did. I resigned and started looking for other opportunities. 

But that was not that easy. I underwent a sort of very difficult and no-money moment. January 15, 2010 was my last day. In less than a month, I had no work and I had no money. Once again, I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what I want. So, I read books on personal development and success. I started drafting my personal mission statement. I drafted what I want in life and poof! 

"I am living to be well rounded, successful in all aspects, happy, loving, lovable, smart, trustworthy, sweet and gorgeous. Praying for God's wisdom, knowledge and strength. Being constantly humble, faith and spirit-filled, purpose and goal oriented, task, action and result driven. Determined to be the best. Working to be the best. Striving to be the best. Living to be the best. With enthusiasm and optimism. For IBM, San Beda Law School, COY, SPP-PYM, FOG, Friends, Love, Best, Family, Myself and Most  Especially for God who makes all things possible."
Napoleon Hill speaks about having a Definite Purpose in Life. Stephen Covey speaks about beginning with an in mind. John Maxwell speaks about having a mission and living for that mission. The secret to life is knowing what you want and figuring out how to get what you want. Even the U theory speaks about how to get from point A to point B but the issue is how to get there.
