I'm defying gravity!

After months and months of decision making, discerning and practically tossing and turning, I decided to resign from my company and start a new phase in my career. It was so hard at first trying to weigh all my options. But my boss was very kind and supportive of my decision to leave. This was my first job so I was kind of hesitant to leave. I love the people there and I just knew that if I go I would have to start anew.

I would leave people behind and meet new colleagues. I would feel the same feeling that I have when I first stepped into my first office. Somehow I knew things would not be easy but I am certain and somewhat excited to find out what's there for me, what other things could I do or what adventure I'm going to take.

I'm the type of person who's always afraid of taking risks. But I'm not getting any younger. In fact, I'm getting older as time passes by *sniff sniff. But you know what I like it and this time I don't want to live my life with what ifs. I want to say that "I did it." Instead of "I should have done it."

During the time when I was kind of scared whether I was making the right decision, I listen to this song. Defying gravity is from the musical Wicked. This song gave me all the confidence that I need. It gave me so much confidence that I felt like I could do anything...there's nothing holding me back.

Someone once told me that we are the ones who set the limits for ourselves. I agree with that fact though I refuse to stand by it. I'm through accepting limits. My life is too short. And I want to make the most out of it.

There's a great line that I heard from the movie Serendipity wherein a man said “You know the Greeks didn't write obituaries, they only asked one question after a man died, ‘Did he have passion?’” I want to live my life with passion. I want that someday when I die I would say "Here I a God, I did everything I could, I've made the most out of my life...and now I'm ready to go.

I hope you live a life full of passion and taking risks. While you're at it...here's the song I would like to share.

To everyone discerning

Everyday in our lives we are faced with a lot of decision making. What time to wake up? What to wear? Which road to take? Decisions are like doors. You take any door and it leads you to a place different from everything else you've chosen. Sometimes the door would lead you to where you began, sometimes it would lead you to a position that would propel you towards a better life.

Let me share with you some tips that I find to be very helpful during the times when I don't know what to do, or if I know the answer but I'm just too scared to face it or even try.

Since I'm a music lover I listen to liturgical and inspirational music during these tough times. At this moment I'm discerning about something really important. The song "Here I am Lord" really helped me feel confident that whatever I do, no matter where I am, I am exactly where God wants me to be. The song really helped me gain the guts to face head on all the obstacles that come my way. The song is also about answering to God's call. You would find yourself asking yourself "What does God want me to do with my life?"

Life is about taking risks. One way or the other, sooner or later we will be able to find out why things happen to us. I hope you find this song helpful and inspiring. God bless everyone!
