Happiness out of the Box--- out of your comfort zone

Perhaps people can call me crazy--- I let go of a stable job, with a stable schedule, with a stable income. Things got scary when I went out of my comfort zone, and yes, I almost got drowned in despair since I didn't know where to go after that. I only relied on my ability in my perseverance and resourcefulness. With that I remained strong.

But like a rock which is constantly beat up by water, my resolve slowly crumbled and eroded as trials after trials, criticism after criticism, discouragement after discouragement came my way. I had nowhere else to go, yet I certainly didn't want to return to my old self-- there must be something more out there for me!

With a lot of trials and uncertainties, I continued to struggle--- until I suddenly realized that aside from material things as a measure of success, one's sincerity and dedication in his efforts is the most important thing a person must have in order for him to be successful in all his undertakings.

A person who perfects and masters his craft will never want demands for his skills. Paid or not, I patiently did my work. I trained in so many fields, not getting my fee due to me. I still did my best, despite all that. And soon, my clientele grew big, and my former clients added a bonus for me. I am so thankful. I want to build my character, thus I do things I did. I want to be my best in all my undertakings---- and of course, in all things--- please help me God!

2012 is the best year!
