Discernment Phase --- how to succeed in life

There are just those days when you are presented with those choices. And you know that choosing the right thing is one bumpy road, yet in your heart of hearts, it is the one thing that will make you happy.

I felt so burdened for days because I felt so little compared to a lot of people. I do know however that I am talented in so many ways *(trying to encourage myself here so don't be too harsh on me hehehe)*, just that I don't know who the people I should go to for guidance.

If I was thinking of only myself, then I won't have to be so troubled. It was lately that I came to realize that my destiny is a lot different than what I expected and what I had planned. I used to be so carefree, but now I can no longer do that. There are people who looked up to me as a budding employer, and the realization shook me. Even my dad's former caretakers were asking if they could have their grandchildren work under me....

All of a sudden, I am the head? I feel so incompetent. But what will happen to them? For days I have been pondering about it. I lost sleep thinking how I will pull things through. And so I attended workshops and seminars just so I will know the first things to take in setting up my enterprise.

I was glad I did, I was able to meet a lot of people who made it to the top, and some of them were way lot younger than me. They are employers already, and little by little, my mind's misgivings began to fade. I was excited with the possibilities. With my new discoveries, I could take the reins of my life, own a business, and employ a lot of people! I became uplifted and I realized that this had been with me all along. When I was a kid I had dreamed of becoming a boss at a very young age. Very cocky right? But I wasn't thinking of ruling over people at that time, I just thought it would be fun to achieve a lot of things whilst still very young...

First step, change your mindset. Remove gossips, negativity, remove idle talks, useless and nonsensical jibber jabber. Go with people who have the same drive as you. Talk to them, apply what you learned from the people you respected.

Second Step, Be with the people who have the same goals as you. Change your environment, be with the people who could inspire you and advice you on your endeavors. People who do not have the same mindset as yours will always discourage or mock you. So limit your time with them.

Third, act on your dreams. Even little by little, act on it. Wake up with a list of to do's. And begin and end your day with a prayer. Accomplish everything as much as you can.

And always pray. Discouragement always come to you, only when you rely on your own efforts.

My journey is just beginning... :)
