Our Inner Voice

The other day, I got this message from a guy in LinkedIn, he was interested in meeting with me for a job opportunity. I was very excited, from reading the general description it seems to be something I would like.

After a phone call discussing about this opportunity, I felt unsure. It is a start up business, which I do think there’s potential, but the guy seemed really desperate and wanted to meet me right away. Deep inside I didn’t have a good feeling, but part of me was still very curious, so I decided to meet with him anyways the next day to find out more. After all, if he’s not going to make me pay for any fees or give any personal information, I’m still good.

That same afternoon, I started to get a weird sore throat. I felt fine, had lots of energy, and didn’t feel sick at all. I thought to myself it may be a sign I shouldn’t even go meet this guy. But I thought appointment was already made, I should just go with it and find out more.

Next day comes around, my sore throat got worse, I was drowsy from the medicine I took which didn’t help a bit. I opened my closet to get the shirt I picked out the night before which was ironed, it just fell out when I opened the door. It became wrinkled again, with dust all over it on the floor! I thought “Wow, this has got to be synchronicity.” But as said, appointment already made, may as well go.

As I got to the office, I felt good, the person is nice, and I was learning more about their business model. But as I asked more questions, I realized the company was aggressive with their plans, and not much preparation or strategies. And to make it worse, he tried very hard to sell this job, and became rude when I said I needed a few days to think and have interviews with other companies. I walked out of there knowing my feeling was right all along.

It was a good laugh for me after I left that office. A part of me felt like there’s a voice laughing at me for not “listening.” And the other part of me was saying “OK, next time I’ll listen and not waste time!”

To my surprise, it was a very nice catch up. He wanted to reconnect with everyone he cares for, and share with us a story that changed his outlook on life.

A month ago, he went to the Philippine islands with his family. On a nice day out, they decided to rent a boat to go into the waters. It was a very enjoyable day and everything was perfect. Just when the sun was slowly going down, sudden changes in the waters caused formation of large waves. They were terrified as the waves were getting higher and stronger, filling their boat with water and almost result in tipping it over. Should that happen, they would all be in the large body of water, it would be dark, no one around, and helpless. Luckily, the family and the boat survived this unexpected condition. He returned home safely with a new appreciation for life, and started to contact all his family, friends, ex-colleagues, to catch up and share his life changing story.

We all know the concept of appreciating life and being thankful for what you have. But often times, we don’t truly value and practice it until something unfortunate happens to us. Why wait? Wouldn’t it be much nicer that we start now than to regret it later? Life is short and fragile, treasure every moment as if it was your last, and appreciate everyone you love as if it’s the last time you see them.

My brother and sister-in-law have been trying to conceive for over a year. Wanting to have a child became stressful because they want to start a family so badly. A couple months ago she found out that she’s pregnant, which is very happy news for the family and for the couple. Then I realize she’s very worried again, worry about their child’s education, what schools they should look into, and the list go on.

Finally I get a chance to talk with her, and I told her that this is such a wonderful experience, but instead of enjoying this process, she’s worrying about everything else. She didn’t even recognize her worries became more stress for her and her baby. And the fact that I noticed means her worries shows. She agreed, her parents always told her how fast she grew up and wish the process could slow down a bit. With this in mind, she decided to learn to stop worrying about the future and live the present, and most importantly enjoy her pregnancy process for now.

A girl friend of mine is 33 years old. She’s beautiful, have a great personality, and searching for the perfect guy to spend her life with. She have no problem meeting men, however she usually compares with the guys she dated before, or worrying about her life with the guy in their future.

Often times we missed this as a problem of ours, we usually think we are not meeting the right people. But the issue here is, how do we know if that person is right when all we do is compare with the past and worry about stuff that may not even happen?

Recently, she realizes this was her problem, she’s thinking too much. She’s currently dating a great guy, and this time she’s taking a different approach. She’s trying to focus on now, and not to think about the past or future. She’s taking her relationship one day at a time, and simply let it flow. Her experience so far is wonderful, and the time she spends with her new man is much more enjoyable.
