Change of Perspectives in a Random Post
The hardest parts aren't the exams, assessments, projects, and the evaluations but foreseeing yourself becoming successful in the career path that you are currently taking. It will measure your how determined you are to continue and finish what you have started. It will test all of your patience, perseverance, and consistency to achieve what you have aimed for from the very beginning. The question is, "Will you take the risk and responsibility for the decision you made no matter how unsure the future is?" This question always lingers in my mind and that I can never brushed off nor forget about it until now. Yet, I still chose to dive in the situation where I only have a little knowledge of what will be the future for me.
All that I could think, at first, is that this will be good for me and it can open a lot of opportunities in the future. When I have seen a chance for me to start over with my life and that I could be better if I would grab it, I didn't let anything to stop me from doing it. Yes, I encountered a lot of difficulties ever since before I could start executing my plans for the future and even now I'm still suffering from it. Consequently, discouragements will took advantage of my vulnerabilities and honestly, sometimes I felt that. I may not be able to sympathize with other people's sentiments but I still have that softer side in me which is the one that is always tempting me to fall into my dark side. Our shadows are a part of ourselves and it is just normal to have one, but falling deeply into its spell is the one that we should be avoiding.
Perhaps, I just tend to get emotional sometimes with the things that I can't even explain what exactly is stressing me out. Also, it could be that I'm just stressed because I can't figure out what's wrong with me and which side of me should I improve to present the best that I could have to people around me. Now, I missed the days where I wasn't giving any care about the world. It the useless part of me but at least, it is much safer that way. That kind of thinking like, it's enough to just be alive and get through every day. No skill building, retirement plans, and no plans of having responsibilities. However, I woken up to reality when it had slapped me for a few times. It didn't gave me any time to prepare but just strike early and left me choice but to go on.
I'll give a lot of credits to my self-consciousness and self-awareness for working hard to shift my perspectives to the positive side of things. I have strained myself almost every day just to have battles with my shadow and so it could let me do and try the things that I was anxious to do before. It was strenuous and my social battery often get drained before I could go home. Yet, I know that changing oneself, especially on the building and improving, is a long process and not achievable overnight. Sometimes, the pressure weighs heavier that I have to let it out. It might show my weakness but I don't hesitate to do just cry if needed. I'll just myself why and no matter what I could answer, I'll just feel better afterward.
Things don't stay the same anyway. I have learned it now that it isn't always going to be like this. As that famous quote says, "There's a light at the end of the tunnel." Well, here I am testifying that it's true. Seeing the fruits of my labor an it slowly shines before my eyes now, it hurts my sensitive eyes and leaving me teary-eyed. yet, those wasn't form for the dark reasons that I had before, those that flows now, is the tears of joy after knowing that all of my efforts have eventually paid off. The risk is high and the responsibilities along with it is a pain but it's a part of our life where we should deal of.

You don't have to see the end of the tunnel. There's no end. Everything leads to something and somewhere else. Choose your path, follow that path. You can change, if that's what your heart desires and focus on what you really want to do. It's not always the getting there, appreciate your journey. All the humps, all the falls, the getting back up, the teary ride, the happiness of meeting people on your way. Our tunnel never ends :)
