This Sunday July 6th, 2008.
It’s not my average Sunday. I thought I woke up around 11 am, in fact I woke up around 9.00 and I had more time to do things in the morning. Had breakfast and I am trying to fit in my schedule to update my blog for things that I did on July 4th - 5th, 2008.
I am so grateful that in my life there are new friends and awesome people that surround my life and help me to become a kinda person who are grateful for the life that I took.
I remember 10 years ago, I did not have any Idea what I had to do in life and what kinda job I will have in the future. I thought I would be some computer whiz but I asked myself deep down if I ever wanted to do that kinda job cause I hate to do programming. So once I finished my high school years with a lot of effort since I graduated in Australia (English is my second language) I could pick any university that I wanted to enter.
I asked myself this “what kinda life would I like to live it five years from now?” I can now say this easily. I did not have the answer 10 years ago. I was searching for myself, discovering the real purpose why I am exisiting on this earth, I know I had to be myself but what kinda responsibility that I have to undergo? that I did not know”
I went to uni after carefully choose a bachelor degree that I would like to do. It was multimedia the new kind of degree offers by Monash University, Berwick Campus - Melbourne. I was in the second batch, I love the study there it was so much exploring and learning curve. I know that I would be in media field doing all these kinds computer activities related. Was it all there is?
I guessed not. To shortcut the story quick… I was hired by the organizing committe of olympic for the sydey 2000, olympic games. I can say it was part of the destiny. Why? First time they asked to do voluntary work. With all expenses I had to undergo and living for one month in sydney, australia. It was not easy seriously, I had to refuse due to the expenses.
But seems Destiny has its own way. The plan changed we are getting some pocket money and all the lunch was paid on the committee. I know I had to answer this and suddenly my name pops up in the list of voluntary and will be provided these facilities. I know it was an opportunity of lifetime. I know I had to find accomodation. Somehow my church network had people that would accept me to stay temporarily. I was so grateful as I know that it would be easier for me to focus on work.
God has been Good. So the day went on arriving on A$99 on virgin airlines using e-ticket I arrived in sydney took a cab and then went to the city of sydney stay at princeton apartment. I went on for briefing day to register and confirm my attendance and was taught how things and rules in the workplace. I had so much to learn, but I know would enjoy the process and make me a better expert.
I remembered when I received schedule, I wasn’t supposed to be in on the opening day of olympic games. But I know I had to obeserve and see how things were done the other day. I asked my team leader if I may observe, so I can do my work better. But the schedule was not followed properly some peopel did not turn up. So I remember where I was asked if I can start early on the olympic opening game. I agreed right away.
It was interesting the job that I had to take since only I was able to do most of the stuff that was asked by the team leader, he made me the leading web editor and was asked to teach other people from other country how to do the job, upload graphics, resize pics, and did all the necessary. We need to wrap up 2 hours opening ceremony with around 500 pictures from various sources and presented. Wow, talk about speed with other 4 people we did ace it. I felt relieved once we finished uploading the last batch. I was meeting my Team leader and team manager and both are truly satisfied. They gave me a privilege to work at my own time not following schedule but they would appreciate if I submit schedule. I remembered at the end of day I had a few exclusive goodies and job paid as they would promise too
I am so grateful as I could do serving the world and did what I am passionate about
So how did I really know what I am passionate about? One thing I know that I love to socialize and learn that other people must have their own good in spite if they have done bad. And learn that you can influence them and be their friend was one of the privilege. I love people.
There are so much potential in each one of us that yet to be discovered. Seriously, I did not know that I had to look for my passion and purpose in life. Until I was revealed by the truth that our life has purpose and mission when I was back in 2003.
You need to apply what you learn is also the most revealing factor in my life, I had to study then apply taking massive action. I can say I like what I did and attended the Unleash the Power Within from the World Class Action Coach “Anthony Robbins” is another story.
I know I had read his book and was really motivated by his story how a janitor now can feed ove 2 millions poor people and change the life of people. He is a human that exercise what he learned, he took massive action for change. one of the pivotal moment it was the firewalk. It was a thrilling experience. Seriously, I hate fire… who would not right? I had to step on it barefeet on the 7m course, and I know that I had to do it if not I would regret it.
I felt it was a metaphor that I had to take if I want to do something different. I had issues with my life and felt rejected a lot of times by people whom I love I also made a stupid decision that sacrifice the person whom love me. I learned the hard way but I knew I had to take responsibility due to the decisions that I made. I am taking responsibility of who I want to become and the life of success that I want to achive. It was not easy but life was never easy it had its smooth time but also rough times to make the journey exciting.
So.. today is not my average sunday! I had took the hardest path, know I am on my way to fulfilling my destiny and on the verge of making every right decisions, financial, relationship, health, spiritual and emotion. I do know this that July 6th’08 I can set myself a target 5 years from now how I want to become what kinda life I want to live. And the journey is just beginning.
Happy Sunday!
