comfort zone
lately, i've realised one thing. i've been staying in my comfort zone for too long. i do what singaporeans do best - complain, complain about everything and blaming the whole world for the state i am in, instead of doing something about it. and at the end of the month, struggle with the meagre pay. its funny how people say they want to be successful but they just sit around, waiting for things to happen.
its amazing how things change so quickly, before you even know it. sometimes, i feel its good to pause for awhile and listen. listen to the people around you, listen to your inner self. i realised how lazy i've been all these years. after my o'levels prelims, i've lost the determination and drive, which explains my pathetic results. i remember when i first started working in discovery networks asia, i was so full of drive. i would always finish my work on hand in the fastest time possible before the dateline. there were times i stayed late in the office and my supervisor would rush me home. even when i'm on mc, i insisted on going to work. gone were the dreams, goals and determination of striving to be successful.
everything has changed. maybe even after 2 years, i have yet to adapt to the working society. i guess i was too protected, not that its bad. i know they only meant well. through the adaptation process, i've become someone i'm not. i'm no longer strong and in fact, i have a weak mind. i allowed my body to control my mind.
i'm starting to really think of the future and do something about it (not just thinking and saying), find back the determination and spirit i used to have. i need to stop deceiving myself. i've been lazing around for too long. i need to learn more, grow up and earn more money! money may not be the most important thing but we cannot deny that money is an essential in life and in today's society, without money, you're nothing.
i took a step to leave my comfort zone and fight for my success. i know i can succeed and i will!
..all thanks to the talk i had.
- make a difference in your life -
loves
