Before, I would always say, ‘Masaya naman ‘tong ginagawa ko, kaya lang, nakakapagod; kaya lang, pahirap nang pahirap. But now I have that statement reversed, like, ‘Mahirap, nakakapagod, pero masaya.”</li> <li>“It's when we get in touch with our identity, the gifts that God has given us, kapag nagagamit natin 'yong mga talents na 'yon, lahat, that's when we exude brilliance; that's when we feel most alive.”</li> <li>“I believe that as humans, we were designed to grow, to explore, to experience breakthroughs, to reach new milestones, and that makes life a lot more exciting. That makes us look forward to waking up because we have something new to do, something bigger, something more exciting; and that makes life dynamic, and that puts the life in the life.”</li> <li>“Not that it’s a bad thing, but what I realized now is that your job is not everything. It’s but a part of the life that you must enjoy.”</li> <li>“If you're not able yet to reward yourself with the fruits of your labor, I believe it's time for you to find a job and find a new career that gives you the time and the money for you to do that, so that you may be able to thrive and strive even more.”</li> </ul> <p>We appreciate you listening to us.
