My purpose?


I know I should be happy now that I have a career waiting, a sweet boyfriend, wonderful true friends, loving granny and sister, and best of all, a treasure that would see my through my most difficult times. Yet, I have to admit that I cant see what lies beyond my life after finishing my contract of flying 5 years.

Yes, even though after being an air stewardess, it is something quite sought after in many jobs, I am unsure of what is it that I really want. So what if I have realized all worldly ambitions but just to find a sense of emptiness and meaninglessness? So what if my sense of purpose comes from our capabilities of performing well on the job?

I must “find the reasons for living, the unique contributions that is mine and mine alone to make.” I have to “realize my purpose in life by doing my very best where I am right at this moment, by thinking what I can do to improve the lives of those right around me.”

To say or write is soo easy. To live up to those words, it takes a lot of courage, discipline and perseverance.
