Clueless...

I am just a typical not-so-young professional who is struggling so hard to get her work done correctly and timely.

Reality bites, sometimes our deeds are misunderstood... Sometimes also our efforts are just simply ignored.

No matter how hard we try to keep up the good work, we do sometimes fail... we do sometimes missed the main significant points. Doing multifarious tasks can be tedious, stressful and may cause a lot of pressures. An armful load of assignments is so difficult to cope up especially if all are on the "priority list". Like what others said, we just cannot serve two masters at the same time, how much more with three or more? But somehow, if we are used to it, it became so normal that we don't recognize those negative feelings anymore. Too good to be true?

Honestly, I can do a lot of things if I am in a very calm situation. Meaning, if things around me are okay, everything will be okay. And if I am okay, no matter how loaded my hands would be with works, it really doesn't matter because I am at peace and my heart is right. I know this has something to do with my attitude. In work, I should be insensitive sometimes. I should not let bad situations overwhelm me that could really affects my work. But I just can't help it. 

I know we cannot pleased everyone- that's a FACT. But if the one we want to pleased with is not returning the favor, woooh what a disaster it would be!

I am now hanging in a balance... uncertain of the outcome. I do not know what lies ahead of me.

Well, God knows better how I felt right now. Whatever may happen, it should be in accordance to His will, whether in favor or against me. I JUST DO NOT KNOW.

Clueless.

The Sting of Pressure

Pressure at work and pressure in personal life- how should we go about it? By merely thinking on the "how", that entails a lot of pressure already. Pressure can choke us to death... oops overstated! But honestly, it could happen if not handled properly. Wherever you go, whatever you do, pressures are indispensable. Forgot an important event? Scheduling a meeting? organizing a committee? or even gathering ideas in order to come up with a narrative report to be submitted on the day the instruction was given? P-R-E-S-S-U-R-E-. Where in the world does pressure originated from? WordWeb defines it as "An oppressive condition of physical, mental, social or economic distress"  and mind you, distress was clearly defined as "psychological suffering". Too bad, does it sound so alarming? I sometimes have this feeling whenever I am faced with pressures. I even wanted to shout just to release all of it. But if we come to realize in the long run that life is not all about that, then maybe we can cope up with it. Besides, there's more to life than pressure. We can still manage our life well amidst those things. Let us just remember that pressure are only present if we failed to do our task well and if we failed to surrender everything to God, our only source of strength. Let us be reminded that we tend to fail and feel pressured and all these were allowed by God for us to acknowledge His presence and Sovereignty. If you haven't tried to  lift up everything to God, why not do it now?

Hopefully by reading this, you will realize that life is not really that bad after all and that Pressures may be indispensable but our God is able.
