No Other Time to Think About It But Now

Lately I've been thinking about big things. Like what would happen to me in the future, how would I sustain myself to get to where I want to be. I mean, when should I think about it? Right then and there when I'm too old to reverse mistakes I've done in my life? I don't want that to happen.

Forgive me if I sound too serious but this is really what I'm thinking right now. I'm afraid of a lot of things. First, I'm afraid of failing, of not being able to succeed, of being bested by my peers. Everybody says life in the Philippines is hard. With so many contenders, how can I stand out? During job openings, what can I offer that others can't? Will I be able to get it through? Will the kind of living I have in the future be something that my whole family can enjoy and my resources be enough that others can partake of it?

I actually have my Ten Big Goals in life. They're written in my journal, because for now I keep it as my secret. I really want to accomplish them all, because nobody can deny how great it feels to have achieved something you really fought for. I know that I have to set aside my fears.

Because I'm more than willing to make it happen.
