"Between you and every goal that you wish to achieve, there is a series of obstacles, and the bigger the goal, the bigger the obstacles. Your decision to be, have and do something out of the ordinary entails facing difficulties and challenges that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else."
~ Brian Tracy
The quote above is giving inspiration that our hearts desire, that our mind could comprehend and that our soul wants to animate. Yet, we come to a point that we decide whether something is for us or not. We let go but we consider the probability that there is something great after that choice. On the other hand, some may consider giving up as cowardliness but could they able to gain the insight and to realize the meaning and reasons why we give up? Hence forward, in this kind of world today, giving up may be the last option and last choice to take. Yes, it is really hard to give up but will you consider the fact that you are not intended for that situation, that you are not belong to it or what others called as out-of-place.
Maybe life is critical that it only give you two options, to continue or to stop. But, considering that choices, you value and improve your own you, others and society. First, as you decide you reflect what are the pros and cons of your action. Second, you weigh every choices presented on your face. Third, you asked yourself, what is the effect of this to me, others and sometimes to the society. Lastly, you take actions and that actions is whether you pursue or not.
I am a accounting student at Ateneo De Naga University; since, I belong to that program I need to maintain and obtain at least 84 percent of my grade in major subjects. Last time, I had encountered so much question that bothered me everyday. I had failed two examinations and it is PROBABLE that I could not able to obtain and reach indeed the required semestral grade. Considering the options in my situation, I need to pick between to retake and continue or to shift on other related courses and stop taking accountancy program. Yet, this perplexities may be harsh but I know to a fact that I need to choose as soon as possible. I may give up, considering our financial situation, scholarship status and future investment. Yet, my heart is on accounting and I know for a certain that I want it and I want to finish it. I weighed it realizing that shifting may be my last choice and suppose to be a risky one. But, right now I am still thinking about it.
Let me continue, giving up might be a cruel decision to some but for others it is just a mere acceptance. I rather consider those who give up as braver as a hero for they could able to accept losses and weird judgment from others that those person who continue to fight even it is not destined to them. Yet, you may ask, what a nuisance writer am I, for I encourage you to fight on my previous blog, but, I also consider the possibility that in some way we might fall but this fall gives us a chance to learn to rise with brave heart and soul.
You have a hero in you and that is yourself and only you could solve your own problems. Your choice is not the choice of others, it is you who make it. But, in every choice you make there is the shadow of responsibility. The complex the responsibility is, the complex the burden you carry. I am not saying to let go of all those burden in your shoulder but I am saying that you are human, a creation with limitations.Yet, beyond the realm of limitations lies an avenue that will lead a greater you. You are a unique creation that no one else know how you make it in this world. For you are only one and you are one of a kind.
Decide what your heart inspires and what your brain had weighed. Good day everyone.
