The Mid - Year Crisis


I call it Mid - Year Crisis.

And literally, this happens in the middle of the year.

Have you been here:

Anxious about the status of your career

Panicky about your financial status which is directly correlated to your, uhuh, Career

Forced to get married in the next two years because you're not getting any younger

Fretting over time lost where you feel you've been completely unproductive yet you feel so tired and restless

Pushing the panic button because at this month, you haven't really achieved anything from the goals you have listed at the start of this year

Felt so alone and no one cares to listen because (a) You're too embarrassed to tell any of your friends (b) You know from past experiences that your friends won't care (c) They are also experiencing the same crisis

Bring down the curtain and wind up that it is really hard to be successful in this life and it's just so hard to achieve your dreams so you better look for an alternative, Uhhmm, letting yourself off the hook.

Yes, I have been there. I recently posted a shout out in my Facebook Wall asking why a lot of people seems to be emotional, problematic or sad lately. This is probably because they are experiencing the same dilemma I was going through.

It was ridiculous really. And I knew it was insane. I talked to my mom whining about how my life went for the x number of years of my existence. She too knew I was being absurd.

And even though I was entwining my insanity, and this has been causing me a lot of hardship and pain, this mid-year crisis was sort of an experience for me.

I realized I've been becoming hard on myself. And this experience got me back in my feet. This is a realization that

"Hey, it's not the end of the world, things happen for a reason. You know that. And you know too, that everything's gonna fall into place. And as they always say, these too shall pass."

I don't like you to experience the mid-year crisis. It can be risky. You may have a hard time recovering. You may actually think and believe your own insanity. Tsk. That's not good.

But I do recommend you to check back with yourself and find out what's causing these issues. Stop being complacent and comfortable, do not be too hard on yourself and bring back the focus in the completeness of your destiny.

Look at your goals.
See if your behavior matches your goal.

This is the perfect time and not just because it's the middle of the year or half of the year has passed already, NOW is always the perfect time.

So what do you have in mind to make the rest of the year marvelous? It's never too late.

Hindi ako iiyak. Hindi rin ako mag-kekwento sayo kung gaano akong nasaktan nung iniwan ako ng walang-hiyang **** na yun! Hahaha. Gusto ko lang i-share na wala na ang dating "Jetjet's Life's Little Instructions Blog". Para maiba naman, eto na ang bago kong pangatlong tahanan (una kasi syempre bahay namin, ------ EMOTERA. Interesting. Para sakin, hindi ma-drama or malungkot ang ibig sabihin ng salitang ito. Ang blog na ito ang magsisilbing salamin ng aking kalooban. Madalas mo akong makitang seryoso, mataray, intimidating or maaring masaya, makulit at maingay, at dito mo maririnig ang mga tinig na hindi ko nababanggit.

PRAYER

I find this picture so interesting. This was taken at the plane when Eman and PJ are on their way to Cebu. This has melted my heart and gave me a realization that with all the things going on right now, we just always need to pause - and pray. Let me share with you one scripture that i have read today from Jon Orana of www.topbibleverses.com and helped me understand a lot of things. Psalm 17:5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. Burt had worked in high-rise construction all his life. Everyday he would walk the girders high above the ground with apparent ease. In his lifetime he had seen a number of men plunge from the girders due to a mere moment of carelessness. As for himself, he knew he had been lucky. Each morning he began work only after saying a short prayer, asking the Lord to watch his movements through the day, keeping him safe from any mishap. Though most of us never do anything as dangerous or risky as high-rise construction, we do stand in d...
