Those are the same questions I have in mind. That's why it was a great opportunity for me when I attended the Sun Life "Live Brighter Session." A gathering of millennials, bloggers and people who wish to be a financial advisor of Sun Life. I was also struggling at my age, I know that it's already a bit late but like Jonathan Yabut said " You're not too small to Dream Big"
Jonathan Yabut was the 1st ever winner of the hit reality show " Apprentice Asia ". He was also a Chief of staff of Air Asia for one year after winning in the reality show hosted by the Malaysian mogul Tony Fernandez. Now he runs his own JY Consultancy & Ventures , which operates in Mnila, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.
During the Live Brighter Session, Mr Yabut talked about work principles that has brought him where he is now , and also emphasized the importance of serving a social purpose.
His speech motivate me to pursue my goals and dreams in life. I'm a person that is contented workin 8-9 hrs , do things for others. I didn't dream big after college and when I gave birth.
There are quotes that Mr.Jonathan shared to us like
" Successful people are not contented with one time victories "
Which I think is really true. This is one of the human characteristics. Which we continue to aim to the best version of ourselves.
" You are never too small, to dream big "
Sometime we decided to slowdown because of our age. I remember telling myself when I was only 21 that I don't need to rush things because I'm still young. That time I tink that I should only dream about something that will workout for me. Which now I think was all wrong.
A lot of opportunity I have missed because of my mindset that time. It doesn't matter how young we are , what status in life we have or where we came from., Anyone can dream big as long as you work smart about it.
"Do you have some lettuce in your life that you can let go? "
The lettuce can be a person, work or other stuff in our life that makes it hard for us to be successful.
Since that time I have been thinking what are the " lettuce" in my life that hinders me to be closer in my dreams. I think I'm really thinking too much that I'm accepting to much things, trying too much things just to please others.
This quotes and questions are stuck in my mind. After few days of trying to figure out what I really like to be after 5 years from now, I decided to focus on one thing and be prepared of achieving those goals in life.
