ronamayloves: March 2011

The quest to achieve a goal is a mere task almost impossible to accomplish. In reality only about 80% of goals are accomplished--not 100%. And statistically, there are only a few individuals who have achieved their goals.

I found out however is that -- most individuals do not have a goal set in the first place. Not that it is a bad thing. With the society today we are all drowned and caught up with paying bills and "living" and with all the responsibilities we have forgotten to dream. Or we forgot our dreams that we had sleepless nights over when we were little. Those dreams that we tell our parents..dreams that we draw about... those that we play roles with. As we grow older the society molds us into job-seeking individuals, who get deeper and deeper in debt, consumed by student loans--and spend the rest of our lives paying back.

I used to always say "I wanna be rich. Wealthy. Drive a nice car. Live in a nice house." Now I still want all of these of course. But to work a job (actually, more like living a job) to get these things has got me thinking.. "Is a desk what I really want? I don't see my parents, I havent been home to the Philippines, I feel lonely and alone is such a harsh city.. Is this all worth it?" Right then and there ..

"I did not wanna be a part of the statistic--of those who have given up their passion in pursuit of a "job" to pay bills to be encouraged to be more in debt to pay more bills. An Endless Deathly vicious cycle."

I have found out that even though I could make money having a job or having an opportunity, at the end of the day it's not what my heart wants. My heart wants and longs to touch as many lives as possible. Inspire and motivate others. Change their lives by the wisdom I have learned. And I cant do that at a desk. Not at a job. My heart wants to reach out to people. Either inspire them with my music, art, or by my mere presence alone. My heart wants to give back to the people whom I owe it the most--my parents, my hometown/country, my friends who have stuck with me through the years. And I need to give back now. Now.

I pray everyday that everyone could find what their hearts long for--something that gets them excited to wake up in the morning, or to leave them sleepless at nights. The money and success will come along. It's not 'make money and do what we want.' It's 'do what we are passionate about, be great at it, and the $$ will come when we have put value into others people's lives.'

everyday I pray, that even if my decisions aren't right for me, I know God still knows what's best and at the end of it all, I just follow my heart.

I'm not excited about the money--Im excited about the priceless smiles I could see in the faces of those lives I will touch.

When you have a non believer....

Thanks for the Love!

It Isn't Always About the $$
