Just thought of
this command before sleeping—DON'T QUIT.
Many people around
the world spent almost half of their lives working, certainly, to
earn for a living. And some people...more than half of their only one
life. The usual routine goes like this: Waking up, sleepy bath,
breakfast (I guess some may not have this), work.. work.. lunch..
work.. work.. log out, traffiiiiiiiiiiiiicc (Philippines only),
dinner, few FB checks then sleep.
A life cycle but
with no growth.
Many other people
who spent almost half of their lives working don't have joy. They
keep complaining to the work load, work environment, the bosses. They
are never satisfied. They always feel uncompensated.
I was a fresh grad,
recently grateful having a job and proud to be called an employee.
But until when will the enthusiasm lasts? Someone asked me that. Will
I still be thankful if I have this repetitive responsibility in the
company? Will I still smile to my lead when they ask me favors?
Myself wondered
then myself wandered.
Then I remembered
my vision. I remembered my dream. It is not to be wealthy and empty
but to be in the journey of success—a continuous walk of joyful,
peaceful and full life. And in that walk I may stumble and stumble
and stumble or worse fall. But what is worse than staying down? The
worst thing is giving up.
So I say to myself:
QUIT.
Quit doubting.
Quit complaining.
Quit the comforting
zone.
Quit thinking
negative things.
Then this thought
sprang: DON'T QUIT.
Don't quit enjoying.
Don't quit
balancing.
Don't quit learning.
Don't quit growing.
Then God said: DON'T
EVER QUIT.
Don't ever quit
praying.
Don't ever quit
believing.
Don't ever quit
waiting.
Don't ever quit
hoping (for the best to happen.)
