If you're about to pursue degree like me and worry about your future, i hope my writing here will help you think more positive and live way better :)
Its not even wrong to think about your future, but what makes it worst is, when you worry too much about your future.
Me. I do worry about my future as well. But here, i wanna share a story on how i realised that i shouldn't worry too much; my future life, job, money, etc.
The feelings and concern
At first, i admit that even though i got my first choice to pursue my degree, i still had this one worry feeling about my future. "Can i live a peaceful life? Can i get a good job? Or can i earn enough money to live?" I was so worry and what worse is that all those concerns hit me everytime i couldn't sleep at night. Yup it's true that deep inside, i believe in God's plan because He knows whats better for me. But the thing was, i just didn't know why i couldn't stop thinking about my future life.
"Why do you even worry if you already got your first choice? Like...thats what you want right?"
I do get that. I do. I admit i did feel noob for taking like not-so-known course as my first choice when i could apply for a better one with my cgpa. Biomed, biochem, chem engineering; i didn't explore the courses enough. But its not that i'm not into my first choice because i do have interest in the course i get. Its just that after i applied to that course, i got worry like, "Can i live a better life if the course i take is not well-known like medic or engineering?" Oh crap.
The confession and advices
So i confessed my mix feelings to my mum. Should i appeal for another course just in case my first choice doesn't suit me?
Here i tell you some of my mum's words;
"Why you worry too much when you didn't even live yet with the course you get? At least you should try your best on whats coming. If you worry too much about your future, you will not enjoy what you have now. When you don't enjoy what you do, you'll quit. And how can you be a successful person then? Don't fear, don't run. Face it. Enjoy it. Don't let others' opinions shallow your mind. Because when you have interest, you will enjoy studying the course. If you still can't handle the course, then do something to be successful. What's coming is always better than what's gone. You know that right?"
Thank God, I was relieved when i listened to that.
Oh and i did cry to my sisters and confessed how i truly felt. I guess i
couldn't bear with my emotion at that time since i rarely cry in front
of my sisters especially when it comes to my concern. It was late at
night and my sisters tried to comfort me; they told me about their life
experiences, googled and showed me how great my course was, and reminded
me of my own capabilities. I was so touched and true, they really
opened my eyes to always believe in God's plan.
And to be more confident with myself, i asked few seniors who took the same course like me for some tips. Alhamdulillah their words did comfort me and now i feel waaaay better when i know that i can get a good job if i study well in my course.
Lessons, motivation and reminder (for you and me as well)
To be honest, i'm not a person who shares my problem on social media because i prefer to just keep it to myself, or share it with my beloved ones and God. But here, i wanna motivate some of people out there who're really worry about their upcoming degree life (I guess its not only for those yg akan sambung degree nanti, it can be for anyone yg tak yakin dgn future life. Right?)
God's plan is always the best for us, have faith.
Whatever you do, or whatever comes, just face it with confidence.
Positive thinking is a must! But without effort, it means nothing.
So work hard, work smart, and don't lose hope.
True there will be hard times,
Where our confidence level may be below zero.
But its fine if you decide to stand again,
And know that there will also be good times.
Where your hardwork will give fruity outcomes,
And your life will be way better.
Happiness is always a choice.
Either to look at the brighter or darker side,
Either to face it or fear it,
Either to learn or run from it,
You decide.
So all the best, my friends! Lets try our best and pray for a better future! Gooooodluck! <3
