Brand New

It felt somehow different...slightly the same...finishing my master's degree with flying colors is the most rewarding feeling of all, at least for the last three or four years in my life. However, my career in the corporate world suddenly came to a halt...whether it is for good or not, I still have to find out. I could already tell some people "been there done that" and I am moving on towards self-actualization, in something that is aligned to my mission and purpose of being. Or am I made to think this way, conditioned in a way to justify what I am doing now. Yet at a deeper thought, yes, I am fulfilled because I am now in the business of helping people without me shouting out to the world that "hey I helped you create your millions!" Funny sometimes yet I am enjoying what I am doing now. Hypocrisy aside, I am not making more than what I am capable of making in the corporate world but I feel better regarded, more rewarded in an abstract way. Justifying it to the ones I love sometimes becomes a challenge. But I do it my way...for as long as I could feed my children, buy them what they need and provide for their education, I am good. In life, it's not about the positions we hold, it is more about how we are in dealing with other human beings like us. It's not about the amount of money we saved, but it's more about the extent of us helping others in any way we can. It's not all about the material things we accumulate over the years of toil, it's about sharing our blessings and be grateful for them day in and day out. I honestly don't even have much savings now, it's a shame but I will get there someday. Right now, what matters to me is my family, my home and my relationship with the ones I love.

I could say that I am living life differently...I am defying what the generalists would say about career...my career is not a popular one but I pursued it by choice and I did not even have the slightest disillusionment, in fact, I am more excited.
