Trying to live is not hard. But doing something with purpose or finding something meaningful to do is sometimes hard. Why? Because we don't know what we want. We sometimes do not know how to do it specially if there is no one to teach how. It is good when you have a support system like your parents, older siblings or older people in the family. It is easier most of the time, you have someone to ask. So if you have people like that in your life and you are really close to them and they are really knowledgeable make use of them well. In my case, well I have these kind of people physically but I am not close to them. I want to be close to them but it just hard to do it. It's complicated. Since I don't have that kind of support system I READ. I READ A LOT. Books, Articles or Blogs. Anything as long as it helps my intellect, psychological state and character. If I get lucky I get to hear helpful advices from knowledgeable people. (I nearly burnt our rice. I was cooking while writing this blog ^_^)
I have friends but since I have a personality of not wanting to be a nuisance, I listen to their problems more than me asking for their help. But it won't hurt to ask peoples help once in a while.
If you go to church and have a very nice spiritual adviser, you are really blessed. I have a christian friend, I attend their fellowship once in a while and it feels good. She's a good influence and also gives me tips regarding my career. We need this kind of people in our lives to somehow find our direction, our purpose, our meaning; God, the Bible, good leaders in your church and those spiritual people. I don't believe in religion but we need good religion to have good spiritual people in our lives.
Somehow I think I know now what I really want to do with my life. To give off help. To be someone that someone needs when they need one. Not in any way but in a way that I can. I know how it feels when you have no one and it somehow fades all those kind of memories when I fulfill those kind of things.
Attitude really shapes your life. Having good disposition will lead you to live in a positive way; You will attract good people that will be helpful in your discovery of fullfillness and it will be easier to face challenges in our lives if your mind is filled with positivity. Life becomes meaningless when we loose our hope, when we give up after trying, when we do not stand after stumbling and all those stuff. Good attitude results to good behavior which leds to good results.
Lately, I was able to keep myself preoccupied with books, movies, articles in the internet, or with anything. I hate doing nothing. It concerns me that I become dumb if I don't feed my mind. Idleness leads to foolishness.
This time I just got blank looking at my computer with a question in my head "what should I do now?". I want to do something and I am just staring at google. then I typed "what should I do when I don't have a job" A lot of articles appeared. I clicked the first one and read it, then it led me here. Now I am happily writing my first blog.
I've always wanted to write a blog. Thanks to +Penelope Trunk I am able to start doing it. If you want to start blogging and don't know how to do it, just read her blog post about the easiest instructions on how to create one. It will help you a lot. Resultingly, here I am writing this.
I am always good at listening and giving advices. It is not counseling since
I am not a professional counselor yet. I hope I get to converse with a lot of people through writing and help them in a way that I can,like how I give advices to those people who have always been seeking my advice. Hopefully through my blog I can help people.
Finally I have started my blog! Still got a long way to go but for now eto na muna. Will do a lot of practicing for now. Tata!
