THINGS I WANT TO DO

Monday, September 01, 2008

After reading the book Veronika decides to die, I realized that like her, I also don’t want to live in an everyday routine. I want to do a lot of things. I want to experience a lot of things. I want to live my dreams.

So now, I want to set my goals. I always wanted to write this down but it’s only now that I realized that this is a very important activity. You have to set your goals so that it would be like a reminder for you to work hard and reach for it. It’s like a motivation. People know what they want but some don’t have the drive to reach for it because they are not motivated enough.

And now, the following are the things that I want to do or the things that I want to accomplish:

First, I’ll continue serving God inside the church that I have strong faith to.

Apart from that, I’ll also use my energy to dedicate myself to what people at my age should be doing-studying. I can’t promise to be the best student but I promise to work harder. For my parents and for my own sake.

About seven months from now, I will graduate and have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. And months after that, I’ll pass the Local Board Exam.

I’ll have my voice lessons inside the church. I want to go back to our church choir and sing praises to Him.

I’ll work in a nice hospital where I can gain experience and be a GOOD nurse.

I’ll enroll in a dance class. I always had the passion for dancing since I was in Grade school. I used to dance on school events. I think it’s a good way of an outlet and also, a good exercise.

I’ll travel, perhaps work abroad. I want to go to places I’ve never been to.

I want to build a house for my parents. I want to help my family and make them proud, especially my dad, mom and uncle. I want to build a business for my mom, she always wanted that.

I want to renew my talent in drawing. FYI, I was an editorial cartoonist in our school paper back in grade school. I want to continue writing (or typing). I want to enhance my writing and speaking skills. The Journalism world is another frustration for me since I used to write on our school papers in grade school and until high school.

I want to continue learning; if possible, I want to earn a Master’s Degree in Nursing.

I’ll meet not the perfect guy, but the guy who God reserved for me. In God’s time.

I want to have a family of my own, I’ll raise our children and teach them and make them know God.

I’ll have my own house and my own car. And I’ll put up my own business.

I want to do a lot of things; I just can’t put it all down at once.

And years from now, if God allows it, I’ll pass the BAR EXAM.

I want to live life. I want to serve God. I want to touch lives. I want to be happily contented.

I did not write these things down because pinangungunahan ko si God sa plans nya for me, but rather, this serves as my motivation and to drive me to reach for it.

Dream big and reach for it.

At the end of the day, it still depends on God’s plans for us.

Let Go, Let God. He’s the guide, He’s the way. Just walk His path and you’ll end up where you should be.

And whatever His plans are, it’s a blessing, appreciate it and you’ll realize that it’s the right thing for you. If it’s meant to be, it will be.
