I'm now about a month old in my 90 days to a million challenge. It has become tougher so far. But I know the toughest is yet to come. The challenge is making me go out of my comfort zone and though I do complain sometimes, I understand that it is the only way for me to attain my goal. According to John Calub, the only way for a person to reach his/her dreams is if she GOYA. And no, I'm not talking about that delicious chocolate bar, I'm talking about Getting Off Your Ass. In short, do things that you are supposed to do. I mean what could you possibly do with your ass rooted to a chair, right? Sometimes, I get to wonder where I really am heading in life, in the challenge. Emotional ups and downs have crossed me and I know there are more yet to come.
In my 3rd week or so, my colleague Joel asked me this simple question. What's your real purpose for enlisting yourself into this challenge? That got me thinking but a lot of answers to his query came into mind. Well, I wanna prove to myself that I can do it so that my family will no longer see me as "bagdoy bagdoy". I wanna find my path because even before you guys came along, I already knew I was different. That I had a different mindset from everyone else. So that was my simple answer to Joel's simple question. I was kinda happy answering such question until Joel's answer came along.
Well me, my reason for enlisting myself into this challenge is really simple. I wanna know myself. I wanna know who I really am. His answer got me thinking so much. Yeah it was much simpler than my answer but it surely was hella more deep than mine. I mean, come to think of it, I don't even know myself too. Who am I really? WHAT am I really? (and no, I'm not accepting sarcastic answers such as you're a human). Because I know it transcends way beyond that. Tsk.
How about you? Do you already know who you are?
Do you already have any idea as to what you really are?
Joel's purpose for enlisting himself into the 90 days to a million challenge may be simple but it sure beats all others' purposes.
