Based on the phrase: "Identify your talent, and your purpose will reveal itself," how many times have you asked yourself why you’re here in this world, or what your purpose in life is?
In giving my honest answer, I would say I don't ask myself this question as often as I used to 5 years back.
And I would not say I already have everything figured out, but at least I have moved forward from where I used to be.
I was still working as a staff in a hotel 3 years ago. I put so much into this job, and I practically depended on it. It was where I sourced money for my school, shelter, and other essential things.
Soon enough, the hotel got bankrupt, and the management decided to reduce some workers, and that was how I became jobless.
That period was like a living hell for me. I was practically wondering what I was actually doing with my life. It wasn't easy for me at all.
Every night, it was the same thought and the same question that kept running through my mind.
During this phase of life, my friends were very helpful because they stood by me and encouraged me in a very positive way. They encouraged me to start something of my own so I wouldn't have to depend on a job to pay bills.
I can never forget my friends. They really stood by me. They actually taxed each other and raised an amount of money for me to start up a food-selling business.
I started the business, and now I am getting good at it, even trying to expand it into a restaurant.
At least, things are falling into place right now.
