Life has full of surprises. They said there's nothing constant in this world except change and also the love of the Lord.
I just thought of this topic earlier while scrolling on my Facebook account wherein a poor family way back a couple of years ago became rich and enjoy the fruit of thier children's success ofcourse on thier help also because parents were the one who push the children to have a better education but does education only the reason for a people to become successful in life?
Success has different meaning. I mean it is based on our own perception on how we define it. For example I am not a degree holder but I find myself successful because I achieved my goals because of my hardwork. For a person who experience traumas and depression , the meaning of successful is to he able to overcome those fears in life and embrace the world with no fears and doubts.
As I was scrolling down my Facebook account I stalked my batchmate who belong on the section one and indeed they are successful now. Some of them are professional here in the Philippines and some of them are living overseas and I know they became successful because they have the brain and confidence to achieved it.
Other student from the section one is not professional on the reason of that they got pregnant and have a family in a young age or others didn't study college that's why they didn't had a chance to be professional. But like what I said education is not the only reason for us to be successful. I have a friend who is degree holder and I know she's smart too but she's happy being a minimum wager and didn't aim to look for a job with a great compensation. I have a friend who is under graduate but she's living the life now and earning a decent amount of money because of her attitude and good sales tactics.
During our High School days , I have a classmate who always do a cutting classes and even have an incomplete grade. Some of our classmates laughing at him and said he will not be able to finish high school but look at him now, he is a policeman and we called them Sir and we actually laughing everytime we do meet up because we didn't imagine that he will be a policeman someday.
Then there's a girl also on our High School days that always bullied by our classmates because of her face. I don't want to call her ugly because we are all beautiful. Years has passed and look at her , a major glow up. She's now working overseas and her boyfriend is handsome.
On our elementary days , I have a classmate who is rich. She treated us food when we are in good terms and when we have a conflict they will take it. Her parents is rich because they have a business but after how many years it seems that the business is gone. She got married to a guy that is always jobless and ending having a life full of dept.
Then look at us. People admire us of having a complete family back then but look at us now. We are broken. Who would thought that our will end up like this?
Life is full of surprises. Sometimes even if it's not our choices it will happened.
Like my situation now. It feels like I became a prison for a year because of taking good care of my niece and my son when my mom leave us. My sister is a single mother and I will be the one who will look after to her daughter. Yes it's my choice to accept those responsibility because there's no one will going to take it. But it is really my choice to feel these overflowing stress where in fact I am not the one who created it. I always said I have no choice because no one will accept this responsibility but in reality I have a choice and I choose to help them. Maybe the question would be do I deserved these stress and anxiety that I am facing now? I am not the one who made it but I am the one who handling it.
But like what I said , there's no constant thing in this world and I know in God perfect time all will be okay and I am look forward to that. I'm sorry for this random thought of mine. I typed it while the kids is sleeping here in the Sala. I typed it on my notepad because my data is out and we have no electricity that's why we have no wifi.
Naalala ko un classmate ko nun high school. Barumbado sya talaga as in, lage sya nadadala sa guidance. At sinasabihan na walang magiging future. Pero ngayon eh nasa Australia na sya with his family na kabatchmate din namin noon. At very successful. Kaya tama ka life is full of surprises.
