I’m a one
step closer to reaching one of my endeavors in life. As of the moment, I am reviewing for a board exam. Yes, I am chemical engineer in the making. God
knows how badly I want to pass, however, there is one thing I am afraid to
happen.
See, I grew having lots of
expectations from people around me, though it’s such a pain, it makes me feel
so proud whenever they congratulate me to every success I have. However, the
more “congratulation” I get, the more proud I become. This is what I am being
afraid of. I don’t wanna lose myself and get drowned in the sea of success. We
are all human, and I guess, this is one of traits human being has – boastful. I
owe everything to God and I it scares me that one day, I’ll forget him and
become so much in love with myself and with the luxuries of success.
Who doesn't want to get rich? Who doesn't want to be famous? Who doesn't want to be a well-respected person? Who doesn't want
to succeed? Everybody does, however, as for me, if I succeed but lose myself in
the process, I’d rather die unsuccessful.
Right now, I am pleading to God that
He may grant my wish and that is to become a REGISTERED CHEMICAL ENGINEER and
be able to practice in my field of expertise. But this plea comes with a
condition that He would always disturb me and reminds me to remain grounded in
everything I achieve. That in every success I acquire, all praises, honor and
recognition would ALWAYS go to Him. IT’S NOT BAD TO WANT TO SUCCEED, WHAT’S
BAD IS TO FORGET THE ONE WHOM WE OWE OUR SUCCESS WITH.
WORK HARD, SUCCEED BUT REMAIN
GROUNDED. With this, God will always bless you with greater things than you couldn't possibly imagine.
1 PETER 5:6
Humble yourselves, therefore, under
God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
