It is really easy to be sucked into the "trend" that I saw many of my friends follow. To some extend, it may be the right thing to do. I am talking about job, career and future path. After Uni, what's next? A friend asked "have you look for a job?". I said no because I am currently not in sg. The reply I got was "you don't seem to worry about getting a job." It got me thinking; is it a trend for graduates to worry about getting a job? How come I am not worried?
I came across this article that got me thinking about getting a job vs chasing the dream. T.D Jakes says these :
We fill out our lives, trying to remain as busy as possible, often in a futile attempt to avoid the emptiness of being stuck in a job, a role, a school, or even a relationship from which we want /need desperately to evolve. Many lack the courage to reposition themselves beyond where they are now. Choosing safety over satiety, we make so many concessions in life until we have anesthetized any hope of limitless thinking or living.
Like an over-sized man in an undersized vehicle we are cramped and restricted in a life that is less than what we need. Many of us hide beneath a public persona, a privately unfulfilled person muffling the midnight screams, “Let me out!”
Is there anyone with the courage to steer the second half of your life beyond the dirt road of dumb decisions onto the massive highway of fresh challenge and invigorating scenery and blazing ideas?
How many have the courage to chase one's dream? How many realise one's destiny that God has for them even before the world begins? I for one, need to realign myself with God's purpose again and see what He has in store for me. For I know, His plan is to prosper me and not to harm me. Life according to His purpose will not be meaningless and boring. It will be full of fresh ideas and challenges everyday Uncertainties may loom ahead of me but His guiding Hand will cause me to stay in His path. Just like Joseph who were brought to land of Egypt. the Lord will also guide me and preserve me just as He has done for Joseph. That's why I don't need to worry about my future. I admit sometimes I do. When that happen, I pray that the Spirit will remind me again how great is my God and He loves me. And, I pray He does the same to you coz He loves you too! ~^^~
