The first time I had the worse disappointment was back in college. I enrolled in an accountancy program without prior knowledge about what that degree is about. I had no idea how hard it is.
Despite my ignorance, I still get in. I enrolled myself and I was like a kindergarten learning about new accounting terminologies. Luckily, my minor subjects sounds familiar. I had to focus on the subjects I am already good at.
Unfortunately, I got rejected at the accountancy program. They did the right thing, but for me, it was the worst kind of feeling ever. Looking back now, I actually deserve something better. It was redirection for me.
For the sake of graduating from college, I finished another degree related to it; but I have already accepted that it’s not meant for me. I just didn’t have a choice that time or maybe I was too scared to stand on my own.
But if free to be myself, I will stop going to school and get a job already; but I was too scared to get a job too, so I ended up schooling, running away from responsibilities. I realized that I’m not really happy with it. I wanted to experience many things, and it’s only possible if I have a job.
What satisfies me is not education, it is not freebies; it’s hard work. Something that’s hard to get; something that I have to keep on chosing everyday. To wake up for it no matter how sleepy I am. To accept mistakes and learn the right way and apply it next time.
Doing things now saves time. So do it now, give your all until you get what you want in life and you master every little things that needs mastering and once you get used to it, find something new. Remember that all disappointments are just redirection; just keep moving on and be thankful and grateful for the experience.
Remember, if one door closes another door opens; don’t let any disappointments freeze you. Keep going. Keep doing the right thing. Look around, check if you’re opening the right door.
Climbing, Rocks!
