Designing your life in Suit instead of Kuldoroy Jeans

By: jojogeronimo@gmail.com

With respect to people who love to wear Kuldoroy jeans, this article is not about to degrade the Kulduroy pants. I simply used the term to emphasized the importance of living a life of abundance by taking action one step at a time no matter where you are or who you are.

Looking at people in expensive suit always fascinate my imagination. Walking so proudly and confident with what they do, you could easily determine the level of success they've achieved especially those who rose from poverty to complete abundance of assets. They say dreaming is one of the greatest gift God has ever given to mankind. Each individual have it, each one of us held this to our mind, a dream that if left undone will sleep and remained unconscious.

Try to ask yourself, what are you doing at this point of time in your life? Does life nailed you in a situation where you are doing the same work over and over again, not because you like what you are doing but because your salary at work dictates the kind of life you need to do weather you like it or not? Are you an Engineer working in the food factory, whose line of work is totally different from your vocation? Are you a migrant worker who came here not because of your will but because of your family's needs? Are you a single parent whose heart and mind always stay in the Philippines but the body and soul deeply feel the pain of working far away from your love ones? For those who do, you are not alone. There are thousands of OFWs working far away from home because of the same sad story. Each one of us has our own desire to uplift the lives of our family. We are willing to sacrifice everything including our dreams just to provide them of their needs. Seeing our children realized their dream becomes our dream. Filipinos are known for these reasons, we are known for these kinds of belief and practices.

But does it really have to be this way? God is so good that He gave us the power to decide what is good for us. He loved us so much that he gave the world all the things that we need for us to utilize and use it for our own good. No matter where you are and whatever you do, there is always hope, a kind of hope that will awaken every sleeping dreams in our mind and live with it. Continue doing what you are doing but this time, do it wisely. Continue your job and earn a lot of money but this time do it wisely. We can still achieve our dreams if we will only make a plan and create a bold decision in our life. No matter where you are and wherever you are, your life changes the moment you make a decision to change your life. We all have the power to transform our life the way we want to live and the way we want it to be.

Wearing the same old Kulduroy jeans over and over again while dreaming of walking in Suit won't help you realized your dream. Making a bold decision in our life is not always easy, it is probably the hardest, it requires courage and discipline to maintain. Because change is always uncertain, people become afraid of changes. Not because it is uncertain, but because doing the same old thing is a lot easy for them than finding out what's behind those changes. To awaken our dreams we need to change! Because being in the same state and situation is a reminder for us that we are not living our dreams. Changing starts from our mind, we need to believe that we are capable of doing changes in our life. We need to awaken our dreams from the bottom of their sleep in order for us to move forward one step at a time while attending to the needs of our loved ones.
