Well, just like everyone I made certain plans and promises to myself at the begining of the year. Some of which is to learn useful skills, grow, save up for some courses, find other legal ways to earn and all of that. But looking back and at all of it now, in all honesty, the journey has not been smooth at all.
Something like the saying they use says here that, "man proposes, God dispose." There's this other one that says, "you go plan life finish, life itself will now sit down to plan you." But then, despite everything I still see reasons to glorify God.
I will be done with my one year service very soon. That itself reminds me that time waits for nobody. There are a lot of things I plan that didn't happen, some are still waiting, while some happened later than I expected. Even though a lot didn't happen and are now sitting alongside the ones on my waiting list, I'm still up and strong. I'm not the type to feel discouraged or give up... Nah. I've experienced a lot of things in life and I've picked up various lessons from each, one of which is that life won't always follow our plans. And there are several lessons we can learn from delays too.
Also, about priorities, it has changed, not so much though. Before I was just all about getting done with my service year and just forget it, but now I'm more concerned and focused about building a good future and being financially stable. I've been trying my best to learn few skills while also looking out for opportunities. Because at the end of the day I'm a man, and I've got to find means to live, various source of income and diverse legal ways to earn.... Of which I'm still open to ideas and opportunities.
Also, I've stopped comparing my journey to others. It won't help me at all. And so, it's just me and my goal. The most important for now is to get done with my service year and find better ways to earn, cause I can't afford to sit down doing nothing. Also, going forward I'm prioritizing my health more. Out of the little I was able to save from my service earnings I've got to spend a lot on my health this last month. It didn't sit well with me, and for that reason I think I'm becoming more selfish on anything that will affect my health.
This is the next half of the year, and onward I move.
