. what are the high and low points of last year?.
strange as it may, i reflect on the year that was at this very specific day every year. at the same date last year, i was living out a dream of becoming an entrepreneur. i was out of corporate, living the mendicant life of free agent. having moved from one gig to another, it was exhilirating and at the same time, tiring.
the reality of economics brought me back to admitting passion alone can't cut the grade. unprepared, retreat for the time being was the clear option. back in the realm of corporate drones, but in a different country, i get by. there are times i doubt my self-worth and ability but somehow faith (of someone and to HIM) lifts you from the doldrums.
it's been a roller-coaster ride, and it has'nt stopped. i will eventually get off and strike it out, again. time will tell when it will be and how it will be this time around. for sure... this time, more focused. hungrier. realistic.
felicem diem natalem

ah yes, i know about trying to fulfill one's passion, particularly in the area of entrepreneurship. i also had my share of getting thrown back to the lion's den because economics so dictates. if anything, the whole exercise helped me see how important it is to keep one's feet on the ground at all times. that is not to say however that we shouldn't attempt to fly, for that would be some form of death already. but to keep one's feet on the ground while keeping a good head between our shoulders will eventually take us home...to where our passion lays. keep the faith, =D. a moment of introspection pulls us down, fills us with doubts, but eventually strengthens us to what still lies ahead.
thanks to two beautiful people who have touched my life. they continue to be why the journey is better than the destination. =D
