Life Lessons 3 Important Life Lessons I Learned From Changing Careers 6:56 PM I'm a licensed pharmacist. Why did I become one? Because my mother wanted me to. 😂 It's not even on top of the things I was choosing when I was about to go to college. From working in a hospital to the corporate world to chasing my own dreams, I've grown. There are 3 important life lessons I learned from changing careers and it's a surprisingly fun discovery. Lessons Learned From Changing Careers I wanted to take up Psychology, Dentistry or Business Administration. But I suck at Math. So goodbye business degree. My grandma told me a terrible story about a dentistry student so I was discouraged from becoming a dentist. And I don't know what I'd do after Psych. Plus---and most importantly, my mother was always persistent (a more subtle way of saying pushy😂) in what she wants for me. I have no regrets. I've learned to like Pharmacy and all the branches of Chemistry that came with it. Even though my grades disagree. I've met friends and got to experience unforgettable things in college. BUT my first love is writing. Even when I didn't realize it then yet. Even when I would have grammar slips from time to time. I like to tell stories through the written word. 1. You always make time for what you love To please my parents or more like to stop them from giving me guilt trips, I followed a career in Pharmacy for five years or so. It was okay but although I got paid alright, I wasn't happy. Obviously that's what happens when you do something you don't like just to please others. Even if it's family or parents you're trying to please. The Bible says honor your mother and father. It didn't say you let them control your life. What pushed me to leave my career even more (as if I needed more reasons) is the toxic environment. I was appalled that in the so-called "professional" world, people could still be so rude, immature and ironically, unprofessional. Everyone seemed entitled. I was adamant that I should not end up like that and when I felt like I was turning into one of them, it scared me. I was working more like an admin/secretary anyway. I never got to apply what I excruciatingly studied in the university. Even during this time though, I would always find time to write. I write online on platforms like Friendster and Multiply or scribble on a piece of paper because this was before I discovered blogging. I've realized that in career as in everything else in life, you will always find the time to do what you love. There are no excuses. There are no delays. If you want to do it, you will and you will find the time. 2. Prioritize yourself Shortly after my Pharmacy practice, I found myself in the corporate world. It was totally unplanned. I was hired within the day. I was happy! Compared to being a pharmacist, this was exciting. I was exposed to online tools and technologies I wasn't familiar with. I was working in a much cleaner, more modern, cooler office and diverse culture. I was suddenly a city girl enjoying my new-found freedom and discovering and rediscovering what I really want. I was able to think about myself first. And you know what? It's okay to love yourself first. Self-love is healthy. You can't give something you don't have. You have to fill your tank first before you can pour it out. Finally, after ten years of working, I was able to take a real vacation. So this is how it feels to be enjoying the fruits of my labor? It was exhilarating. I got to reset and sort out my priorities. But I don't need to do a self-reflection to know that writing is still what I really want. 3. Keep working There will always be hardship. There will always be obstacles as you work towards your dreams. You should be worried if there's none. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. It is in the struggles that you learn to be strong. It is in the nothing that you realize what is superficial and what is essential. If you want something bad enough, keep working for it. Before I left the crazy corporate world, I would juggle one or two side jobs. I would be attending seminars which I know could help me in my pursuit of what I want, even if that would mean I would be forgoing sleep. Some friends would ask me to teach them too, but when I tell them what they need to do and sacrifice, they get discouraged. They'd rather sleep in or spend their extra money on their vices rather than invest on what they know is good for them. I'm not saying you should stop having fun and overwork. Enjoy but keep working on your dreams. Even if it's just taking three minutes of your time watching a video tutorial. Or listening to speakers who can motivate you. Or reading short inspiring stories that can help you realize or remember your goals. As Steve Jobs said, keep learning. Especially now that we have different resources available online, there's no excuse not to learn anything. My changing careers didn't make my parents happy at first. But that doesn't make me a bad daughter. I want to believe that it made me a better person. I still encounter difficulties and problems with what I do but again if you really love what you do, you find a way to fix it. You don't find an excuse to walk away. Have you changed career? Tell me about it in the comment! If you like this blog post about life and love, please share the article using the social media buttons below or on the left. Thanks!
Faith 7 Lessons I Learned From Ruth While Waiting For My Boaz 8:18 PM So here's the thing about Ruth and why she's a big deal---at least for single women. She's the perfect inspiration for those who are: feeling inadequate feeling flawed scrutinized and marginalized by the cruel society feeling that they've ran out of luck when it comes to finding "The One" tired of doing good and not seeing any good happen to them In short, Ruth is not your ideal woman. People looked down on her because: She was a Moabite. Moabites were descendants of Lot from an incestuous relationship with his oldest daughter. She's a woman, and women during her time were considered property whose value is only a little higher than cows in their society. She's a widow. Some people during her time thinks widows are cursed. Giphy Despite her personal obstacles and the labels people give her, she remained faithful to her mother-in-law Naomi and did what she could to help her. Brushing aside the whispers about her, she went out to glean the barley fields of her late husband's kin, Boaz. That's a quick summary so you may want to read her story to know more. But here's what I got from Ruth. 7 Lessons I Learned From Ruth While Waiting For My Boaz 1. Ruth’s priority was a life of service. Ruth didn’t wait for someone to redeem her after her husband died. She went out there and worked---for her and for her mother-in-law. The only family she has. She could have left her but she didn't. She served her. She knew her priorities. Don’t wait for other people—especially for men to validate your existence or rescue you from where you are. In the end, you're the only one who can save you. Don't be a damsel in distress. Be your own hero. 2. Loyalty and selflessness are always rewarded. She cared for Naomi and never left her side which eventually led her to her future husband Boaz. Even when you don't expect it, your goodness will be rewarded. That's how the universe works. 3. Be confident with who you are. Ruth never let rumors and gossip stop her from going out there and getting what she needed. She ignored the naysayers. She knew she was being judged because she didn’t fit in the society’s standards. She had more important things to think about; she had no time for petty things and petty people. If you know who you truly are, no amount of rumor will make you question your identity. Your reputation is in the hands of others. That's what the reputation is. You can't control that. The only thing you can control is your character. -Dr. Wayne Dyer 4. Be diligent, persevering, and determined. Ruth worked harder than others, which Boaz noticed. Your work ethics, virtues and hard work will speak for itself. Though some people don't appreciate your effort and your goodness, someone will---someone who matters. 5. Be a woman of character. Boaz told Ruth: “All my fellow townsmen know that you are a worthy woman.” What can be more flattering than that? You can’t control your reputation, because everyone's entitled to their own opinion. But remember: not everybody matters. You can’t control other people’s impression of you. Don’t even waste your time trying. However, you do have full and total control of your own character. Be someone your Boaz can be proud of. Be someone you yourself, your children and your children's children can be proud of. Carry yourself with dignity. 6. Stop chasing people. Don’t be desperate. Boaz praised Ruth’s loyalty saying, “You have not gone after a younger man, whether rich or poor.” Never run after a bus, train or man. When one leaves, another arrives. 7. Follow the advice of the wise. Ruth knew she could trust Naomi so she followed her advice. Which turned out to be an effective one because Boaz married her after that. Ruth may not be every guy's fantasy girl, but she’s every man’s ideal wife, judging by her character. People might have treated her like trash, but her character shined so brightly that a man of integrity like Boaz saw what a gem she was. Don’t just sit and wait around for your Boaz. Ruth never did. She lived a life of service and the Lord rewarded her. For God is faithful, and His timing is perfect. Be like Ruth while waiting for your Boaz. Work while you wait and wait in faith. ---- Lessons from The Feast's teachings on Women. Edited from the article I submitted on The Praying Woman.

How-To How To Spring Clean Your Life This Year 1:23 PM It’s time for spring cleaning - not just our homes but our lives. Rather than focusing on New Year’s resolutions you know you will never stick to, take a more proactive approach to improve your life, from self-improvement to decluttering your stuff. If you want to ensure next year is one to remember, learn how to spring-clean your life this year. 1. Review Your Finances & Start SavingAfter many months of hard work, do you have little money in the bank? Provide yourself with more financial security this year by reviewing your budget. For example, compare your outgoings against your income to identify where you are wasting your revenue. You should also open a savings account to develop a rainy-day fund to enjoy financial security throughout the year. 2. Spruce Up Your Credit History Speaking of your finances, do you have a poor credit history? If so, this could prevent you from securing a mortgage or car loan. However, it is possible to dispute a report to repair your credit. Crediful specializes in helping people take control of their finances, so you should read their review on a popular credit repair company that could help you receive the keys to your own property or car this year. 3. Alter Your Attitude A negative attitude can affect your day. Give yourself a fresh start by developing a more positive mindset. Whenever you have a pessimistic thought, counteract it with a positive affirmation. It might also be helpful to undertake cognitive behavioural therapy to manage your emotions and problems effectively, as it can change how you think and behave. 4. Remove Physical Clutter Clear your mind by clearing your home of physical clutter. Take the time to remove items simply collecting dust in your home. This means finally tackling your junk drawer, pulling unwanted items out of an attic, or purging your rooms of items, taking up unnecessary floor space in the home. It will help create a light, airy, and bigger home. 5. Automate Your Bills Take a little stress out of your life by automating your bills, as you’ll simply need to make sure there is enough money in an account to cover your outgoings each month. You also can streamline your payments by ensuring your bills leave the same account to make it easier to track your expenses. 6. Get Real About Your Career As your career will take up most of your time, it must make you happy. Ask yourself if you’re in the right job or if something bigger and better awaits you. Maybe you are settling as you’re too afraid to step outside your comfort zone. If so, there is no time like now to take your career into your own hands. Change jobs, expand your qualifications, or identify ways to climb the corporate ladder. 7. Start Clearing Your Debts If you want to live a happier, more peaceful life, embrace a debt-free lifestyle. Like decluttering your home, getting rid of your debts can make you much happier. Aim to pay off your credit cards or make bigger loan repayments so that you will free up your finances in the future. You can then focus on spending the money on home improvement tasks, a dream vacation, or a large nest egg. 8. Say Goodbye to Toxic Friends While it might not be easy to say goodbye to friends you’ve known for many years, you need to remove them from your life if they pull you down instead of building you up. While you might feel connected to them because of the time you’ve known them or the journey you have taken together, you cannot keep them in your life simply for nostalgia. If someone mistreats you, they’re not your friend. 9. Make a To-Do List Do you struggle with organization? Do you constantly miss deadlines or fail to identify your priorities? If so, consider making to-do lists to perform every essential task on schedule. Whether juggling multiple tasks at work or wanting to complete projects at home, making a list that breaks down the tasks by priority, day, or concern can simplify your life.How are you going to spring clean your life this year?

Life Lessons Taking Up The Challenge Of A New Career 4:00 AM When you are in your teens, you don’t have a clear idea of what you’d like to do with your life. You have vague thoughts about careers or take classes you are interested in without being set on a specific job role. Many people fall into jobs that suit their qualifications or were available at the time they were looking but which they don’t find fulfilling. If you’ve found yourself at a crossroads in your life and you feel dissatisfied with what you’re doing, it’s never too late to retrain and take up the challenge of a new career. Taking up the Challenge of a New Career Training and qualifications Many jobs people choose as their dream career paths require academic or vocational qualifications.Healthcare, academia, law, finance, and so on are jobs that require specific qualifications, or if you’re shifting to a trade or creative endeavor, you’ll do much better if you have experience and the appropriate certification. Training for a new career will require determination and a genuine interest in the subject because you may have to work while you study. You’ll need an income to support yourself and the means to pay for your course, so unless you have a substantial nest egg to fall back on, you’ll be working all day and then hitting the books at night.If you have chosen the right path, this will be a labor of love and something you’re glad to undertake, so it can be a good test of how well-suited you are to the new career. Becoming involved in your new community Your chances of success in your new career will improve if you start to make connections and contacts in your chosen field while in training. For example, say you want to become an architect. Your first step will be to enroll in a program to get your bachelor of architecture degree. While studying, you can start visiting trade shows, reading professional literature, and joining local and national groups in architecture. There will be forums, Facebook groups, and email lists, as well as job boards and career opportunities online that will help you get involved and find work placements. You can also contact local firms of architects for advice and assistance with your training and career, and you may find you can secure an internship or part-time job while you are studying. This will give you the experience you need to make your resume more eye-catching and display your commitment to the role. Changing a career isn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision, as it will dramatically affect your life. You’ll have far less leisure time and put yourself under additional pressure to gain your qualification and find a good job. However, if a career change is correct, it could substantially improve your quality of life and help you find joy in what you do.
Health & Wellness How to Live Your Best Life 11:00 PM Are you living your best life? Anyone you ask, whether it’s a friend or a stranger, is working towards this ideology. Life can seem short at times, and it’s important to make every moment count because of it. In fact, here is how you can do exactly that in four parts. First, set goals for yourself and pursue them. Secondly, avoid bad habits, as they only impede your well-being. It’s important to be health conscious at all times and even make a habit of smiling more. This is also the perfect time to reflect on your current situation and to decide whether something needs to be changed. How to Live Your Best Life Pursue your goals What are your life goals? Everyone has them, and it’s important to remember that everyone does things at their own pace. If you are not a company owner by the time you reach 30, it’s not the end of the world. In fact, make sure you set realistic goals for yourself and realize that you are always allowed to backtrack. If you are unhappy with your current job, pursue another career option. If you are in debt, learn how to be more financially responsible, and so on. And if you need help, get a virtual or online life coach who can help you become more responsible and disciplined. Avoid bad habits A sure way to live your best life is to steer clear of bad habits. For instance, alcohol and drugs ruin your health and creates an addiction that is hard to get rid of, the longer you wait. In these scenarios, you may need to get professional help, and you can do so by visiting treatment centers in Colorado. Seeking medical help will ensure that you get back on the right life path and are thus being the best version of yourself. Remember that you will have to avoid trigger situations after the fact, and also steer clear of stress or anxiety, as this will ruin your well-being over time. Be health conscious How health conscious are you at this point in time? This means that you must look after your mental and physical well-being at all times in order to focus on other aspects of your life. After all, you will recall from the last time you experienced the common flu, that it was hard to focus on anything outside of the running nose and fever or a headache. Thus, you must make a habit of eating well, exercising daily, relaxing and also picking up a few hobbies for the sake of your mental well-being. Smile more All in all, you should smile more. It will make you happier and affect not only you but those around you. Other benefits include making you confident and helping you give off a proper first impression, which is especially necessary during job interviews. In fact, make a habit of waking up with a smile, and in doing so, you are also channeling positive vibes for the rest of your day. Living your best life will require you to be conscious of your current routine. Bettering yourself and pursuing overall happiness is something that you should work towards starting now, and your efforts will allow you to reap the benefits for decades to come.
