What Should I Do With My Life?

“Oh God, what should I do with my life? Give me a break, please??!”

I remember asking God these questions…

A little over 7 years ago, my life had no direction.

You see…

I used to work as an ICU nurse in a tertiary hospital in the province.

Back then, the only thing I had in mind was to gain experience such that, after 3 years or so, probably, I’ll get a decent job abroad!

After 3 years of working, I got invited to submit an application as a cruise ship nurse.

At long last!

If you could only see me then. I was too excited because finally, I’d be able to reach my dreams….or so I thought!

Right there and then, I resigned from my work. I went to Manila.

But then life hit me!

“You know the feeling of your expectations not meeting your reality??”

Just when everything was already set, that’s when the waiting game began…

1 month had passed but I couldn’t see any sign of me leaving the country. 2 months..3 months… But to no avail!

I decided to apply for other openings abroad because I was already frustrated with waiting.

Every day, for 8 straight weeks, I would walk in the streets of Malate Manila just to submit an application under the scorching heat of the sun and the vast overflow of rain.

I was that desperate! I needed to have an income to sustain my needs…

…I resorted to working in a call center.

Until after 6 months, they had to lay off some agents.

Guess what?? I was one of them! (this was when the real question what should I do with my life started to set in )

I remember, at the age of 26, I went to another call center company applying for the same position.

That was the lowest point of my life. I was 26.

There I was, with other applicants, most were fresh grads. Some were even 17 or 18 years old while there I was, 26 years old and starting from scratch. Ouch!

That was when I told myself, “I will change my life for the better.”

Fast-forward to today, I’m now doing things connected with my passion and purpose.

…Serving God in our ministry at The Feast!

…Doing triathlons.

….Conducting trainings (Life Skills, Digital Marketing, Power of Positivity).

All, while helping my clients at the same time.

This is life!

Never have I thought that I’d be doing what I do now.

I’m not sharing this story to brag, but to show you what’s possible.

…that YOUR dreams are possible.. Especially with the right guidance!

I’m going to share with you 3 critical things I did to turn my life around. Apply these 3 steps and you’ll see yourself high!

1. Your environment is everything!

I realized, environment plays a vital role in my growth as a person. It was only when I changed my environment that I experienced a changed in mindset.

It was everything for me! It helps to be in an environment where you’re being supported. When people see your full potential.

Do you feel as though you’re living in a toxic environment? An environment that doesn’t uplift you?

Consider changing your environment!
