There is an inner beauty about a woman who believes in herself, who knows she is capable of anything that she puts her mind to. There is a beauty in the strength and determination of a woman who follows her own path, who isn't thrown off by obstacles along the way. There is a beauty about a woman whose confidence comes from experiences; who knows she can fall, pick herself up, and move on

Working on Happy Feet
Thursday, May 6, 2010
I can't believe i'm barely into my 2 week on my new role given the intensity and pace of work. Now i perfectly understand what Jason meant when he said it feels as if he has been working for 1/2 year when in actual fact, he's just been at his new place for just 1 month. Though i dont stay till 4am in the morning like him, i understand how the day seems to be measured against the amount of work we have to do. But i'm not complainin. Jason is not complaining. Simply because we love what we are doing.Just 2 evenings ago, I met up with Yana and i couldn;t help but proclaim how blessed we both are. blessed not only because we are able to support ourselves, but blessed because we enjoy what we are doing and we get paid for it. A quick scan around the people around us, how many can actually say they love their job and can't imagine being any where else? I certainly know of people who can't wait to move into another industry despite not knowing where to go simply because they hate their job. Thank God for placing me at the correct place, and at the correct time. Nobody can be more precise about my development than God Himself. While I believe happiness is derived from doing what you like, I don't completely buy into the idea that happiness is solely dependent on doing what you like. Satisfaction from job is not job specific, and it is an inward causation, not outward causation. What i'm trying to say is, no jobs is going to satisfy your dissatisfaction if you are inwardly unhappy, just like nothing in this world is going to please you if you are an unhappy, grouchy person to begin with. We all face challenges at work and it's not always rosy. How we feel towards our job depends on our attitude towards it. One hiccup could send you flying into a rage or swearing that you would never want to step into the same office again, or it could simply have no effect on you as you move on into the next day feeling refreshed and renewed again. Lately, i've been thinking alot about optimism. Why is it that some people are happier than others while some people are always sorrowful / bad-tempered. Is it because the latter has less things to be happy about? On the surface, it seems that these people are the less fortunate ones, facing problems in all facades. Sure enough, they face problems. But in comparison to those who seem to be happy everyday, do the sorrowful people face more problems than the happy souls? It turns out untrue. The happy souls (i call them happy feet) have their own problems too. They are just careful not to hold them loose on their tongue or affect their overall demeanor. I reflected upon myself. How is that possible that I am able to be so fulfilled at my job when I was doing just about the same thing almost 2 years ago and felt that what i did was almost eating into me?! I have changed. indeed circumstances changed too but inwardly, I have been renewed and secured in the presence of the Lord. I didn't use to believe how transformation could take place in a person just over a second. But it did to me, though its manifestation took a long while for others to see. I can't describe how it feels except say it's like having a cup filled to its brim every time my day ends. I always end up coming back declaring what a wonderful day it is to my mom. =) Happy Feet. Me.
